Pact of the Free Realms of Blackmarch

The Pact of the Free Realms of Blackmarch, often just called "The Pact", was a treaty signed by the Lords of Ardhaven, Whitehall, and Odessa, and brought an end to the War of the Three Cities. In it a peace was agreed upon, as well as rules to protect the region as one of freedom for all its inhabitants. The Pact opens with the line, "There shall be no Kings in Blackmarch,..." which has created the tradition of the rulers of the cities taking the title of Baron, instead of King. This line is often repeated as an informal slogan for Blackmarch.
