1. That all currently warring forces shall withdraw from Minoc.

4. That Minoc shall have free right of trade to all cities without let or hindrance.

5. That Yew shall have the right of passage to build a road from Yew to Minoc north of the Covetous Mountains.

6. That said road will be neutral territory, and bordered by neutral territory, but the land shall continue to be part of the respective city territories.

7. That travellers on this road may bear arms for self-defence, but no military force shall use it.
