The Marana Accords are an agreement between Westarctica and the Principality of Kolios that resulted in Kolios becoming a protectorate of Westarctica.
After Prince Garibald's ascension, he and Grand Duke Travis met in a small underground cellar in the city of Marana, Arizona to sign the accords that would formally make Kolios a territorial holding of Westarctica. Also present at the signing were Duke of Fox Grove and Countess Erin of Cloud Ridge.
Prior to the accords, Prince Garibald issued sixteen “Princely Edicts,” initiatives intended to set up and smooth the transition from kingdom to protectorate. The edicts range from the withdrawal of Kolios from the Empire of Agber to restructuring Koliosian nobility to officially secularizing the government. He also made a number of appointments, elevating Koliosian nobles to higher ranks. In an effort to bridge the two nations, he also created a number of new nobles, drawing them from both Koliosian and Westarctican citizenship rosters. The successful accords resulted in the Provincial Charter of the Westarctican Protectorate of Kolios becoming the new law of Kolios.
