Grandfolk Protocol

The Grandfolk Protocol is international treaty of mutual defense originally between the Kingdoms of Etrand, Dragoc and Froturn (but later also signed by the Principality of Artaburro) that marked the creation of the Alliance for the Light in the aftermath of the first demonic invasion of Artograch. It was signed in 254 AEKE, in the city of Grandfolk, capital city of Etrand, one of the three founding members of the alliance.
