**Type:** Treaty **Signatories:** King Leon Talbain, Queen Jena Talbain, Merissa Kryn ([[Krynvia]], Queen of the Succubi) **Era:** Age of [[Perserphina]] **Location:** Royal Palace of Polaria, Capital City --- ## Overview The **Polarian Pact of Veils** is a controversial but enduring alliance between the **Kingdom of Polaria** and **Queen [[Krynvia]] of the Succubi**. Publicly, the pact is recognized as a lawful arrangement under Donovan’s divine judgment, granting succubi sanctuary and the right to operate taverns and brothels across Human Union lands. --- ## Public Terms - **Sanctuary:** Succubi are recognized as lawful residents of Polaria, protected so long as they do not prey on innocents outside designated establishments. - **Integration:** Naked Maidens taverns are permitted to flourish openly and must pay standard royal taxes. - **Military Support:** Succubi provide intelligence and magical aid in rooting out cults, warlocks, and foreign conspiracies. - **Legal Recognition:** Succubus contracts are honored as valid pacts under Donovan’s law. --- # Succubi Legal Status in South Angoria **Region:** Human Union (South Angoria) **Status:** Protected Residents under the Polarian Pact of Veils **Recognized By:** Kingdom of Polaria and the Talbain dynasty **Unrecognized By:** Elven Union, Dwarven Union (no pact rights), Orc Unions (varies by clan) --- ## Overview Succubi under Queen Krynvia’s banner are not citizens of South Angoria in the traditional sense. Instead, they hold the status of **protected residents**, granted through the **Polarian Pact of Veils**. This agreement ensures that succubi may dwell and operate within the Human Union without fear of banishment or execution, provided they abide by the conditions of the pact. Their rights stem from royal decree rather than natural-born citizenship. --- ## Rights & Protections - **Legal Residency:** Succubi may openly reside in Human Union territories covered by the pact. - **Business Operation:** Naked Maidens taverns are legally recognized establishments and must pay royal taxes. - **Protection:** Succubi may not be summarily slain or banished so long as they follow the terms of the pact. - **Sanctuary Papers:** Certain succubi may receive royal documents confirming their protected status, shielding them from zealots of the Burning Chain. --- ## Restrictions - **Conditional Rights:** Protections apply only within Human Union lands honoring the pact. Beyond these borders (elf, dwarf, orc territories), succubi have no legal standing. - **Prohibition Outside Taverns:** Succubi may not harm innocents or seduce unwilling mortals outside of their designated establishments. - **Revocable Status:** The Talbains or the Human Union council may strip protections if a succubus violates the pact. --- ## Political Implications - **Polaria’s Stain:** The pact ties Polaria’s reputation for justice to a fragile alliance with fiends. - **Regional Distrust:** Elves and dwarves view succubi as unworthy of any legal recognition, fueling political divides. - **Succubi Perspective:** Among themselves, succubi consider Polaria their homeland in the Material Plane, though they remain ever aware that their status is conditional and precarious. --- ## Summary Succubi in South Angoria are **not citizens**, but **protected residents**. Their rights exist only because of the Pact of Veils and the Talbain dynasty’s patronage. Should the pact be revoked or exposed, succubi would lose all recognition overnight, leaving them vulnerable to banishment or extermination.
