Treaty of Two Emperors

The Treaty of Two Emperors was a treaty ratified in 677 IE by Eluli Ula, Emperor of Khutu, and Muzal Ebesnata, Emperor of Taizi. Tensions between Taizi and Khutu had been high since the end of the Omban Empire, as both countries claimed that their emperor was the legitimate heir of the Omban dynasts, and indeed, Omba itself, although a republican oligarchy, asserted its own right to hold the imperial title. The Khutu-Taizian wars of 351-354 and 414-415 established rough borders between the two nations but did little to quell tensions. The Treaty of Two Emperors was a direct result of border squabbles in the 670s, especially in the Ujon River which was, with many exceptions, the border between the two countries for almost two hundred miles. With the threat of a third war breaking out, representatives of the two sides met on the island of Oghum in the middle of the river, settling on a new border, exchanging some lands on either side of the river, and pledging eternal peace. While the treaty did little to alleviate social tensions between the two countries, it is still the foundation of political peace that persists to the present day.
