Citizens of the Seanchan Empire,

The Seanchan has reached a treaty agreement with Mayene and the Winged Guard. The Seanchan Empire recognises Mayene as a nation independent of Tear and nation equal - or, in fact, superior - to all other nations throughout the land.

The Seanchan Empire recognises the First of Mayene as having direct lineage to that of Artur Hawking and as such will accept the independence of Mayene for the duration of this treaty. The Seanchan Empire recognises the lands of Mayene to be the City of Mayene and the surrounding territories as stated by the First of Mayene and her Guard.
