Treaty of Thales

The Treaty of Thales was a document written by the then Emperor of the Imperium of Oren, Robert Chivay during the time in which the descendant races resided in the realm of Thales. The treaty was created to bring an end to the bloodshed and war that had plagued the Imperium of Oren, the Silver Enclave of Haelun'or, and the Grand Kingdom of Urguan, along with many other smaller parties since The Fringe. It notability led to the genocide of the Snow Elves, with most being sent into exile. While it is dated as being signed in 1475, it actually occurred much earlier due to a misconception with the calendar for the first few years within the realm of Thales.
