Articles of the Compact

The Articles of the Compact were an agreement between the various Lords of the towers on Forever's Edge, added after the Traitor was discovered to be in the service of the Far Realm. They allowed any of the Lords to search any other Lord's tower, basically at will.

They were invoked in by the Lords Dramvar and Eloar of the Spire of Summer's Mist to investigate the Spire of Winter's Peace, because of the Lady of the Tower, Malyanna, had been missing for an extended time. This made Taal, her castellan, murder them.
