The Universal Mandate

The Universal Mandate is a supremely important document meant to maintain peace between all nations of Vey'Adra. It was put in place by Vaeled, who threatened to cut off trade to all countries who refused to sign it. The main ideas of the Universal Mandate were international roads that spanned the entire continent, limitations to the size of military, and mutual military support against all who violently opposed it, While it is highly controversial no nations have taken violent action against Vaeled due to it's implementation.

The standard Vey'Adrian epoch is based around the Universal Mandate, with history recorded by years before and after it's implementation. Therefore, the time before the Universal Mandate is referred to as BUM, and the time afterward is called AUM. The current year is 1274.
