{{Quote|I signed this treaty not because it is what we want, but because it is what we need. The conditions of conflict which I negotiated will keep our soldiers safer, will give us the time we need to achieve parity in power, and will position us to do that most ''holy'' thing: to defend the [[Divine Principality]] from chaos, confusion, and collapse.|author=[[Cynosure Whitestar-Kesh]]|source=Intro to "[[HOUNDs Pt. 1]]"}}

'''The Treaty of Permanent Peace''' is a formal agreement to the terms and conventions of war between the [[Curtain of Divinity]] and the [[Pact of Necessary Venture]]. Analogous to the [[wikipedia:Geneva_Conventions|Geneva Conventions]], it recognizes the conflict as a civil war between two arms of the [[Divine Principality]] and outlines acceptable terms of engagement and other mandates.<ref>[[The Road to PALISADE 01: HOUNDs Pt. 1]]</ref> It stipulates, among other things, that whoever wins the war will be both [[Princept (title)|Princept]] and [[Apokine (title)|Apokine]], and that any party may continue to use the gates of the [[Divine]] [[Space]].<ref name=":0">[[Records Recovered from the Divine, Arbitrage]], [[The Road to PALISADE 01: HOUNDs Pt. 1|episode 01]]</ref> 

The treaty was negotiated by [[Cynosure Whitestar-Kesh]] and [[Rye]]. For Cynosure, it represented the first in a series of escalating acts of control over the Curtain. [[Arbitrage]] describes this as his first great achievement.<ref name=":0" />
