The '''House de Weluta''' the reigning royal house of the [[Urcea|Apostolic Kingdom of Urcea]] as well as the Kingdoms of [[Talionia]] and [[New Harren]]. The house originated as a cadet branch of the [[Julian dynasty]]. Emerging victorious from the [[Saint's War]] and Great Interregnum in the 14th Century, the House de Weluta has ruled over Urcea with two notable interruptions since. Several of its members, beginning with [[Emperor Leo III of the Holy Levantine Empire|Emperor Leo III]], have reigned as [[Emperor of the Levantines]], and since the [[Second Great War]] that title has been permanently associated with the dynasty.

The '''Framework for Peaceful Co-Existence on Urlazio and Sarpedon''', more commonly known as the '''Assumption Accords''', was an agreement reached by the governments of [[Caphiria]], [[Aciria]], and [[Urcea]], settling long standing disputes over territorial boundaries on [[Urlazio]] as well as geopolitical and legal claims in [[Sarpedon]]. The agreement entailed territorial cessions of the Ecinis peninsula from [[Talionia]] and the island of [[Coribus]] to Caphiria in exchange for Caphirian recognition of [[New Harren]] and Urcea's involvement in [[The Deluge]], a demilitarization of Caphirian Urlazio and parts of southern Talionia, in addition to creation of free trade zones in the same areas. The agreement also included [[Herciana]] within Caphiria's tariff borders and implements economic regulation common between the island and Caphiria. As part of the agreement, Urcea ceased recognition of the [[Veltorine government-in-exile]] and ordered it to leave [[Talionia]], where it had resided since the end of the [[Second Great War]]. In addition to the agreements between Urcea and Caphiria, [[Aciria]], Caphiria, and Urcea signed additional agreements which provided for the withdrawal of Aciria from the [[Levantia and Odoneru Treaty Association]], the end of the conceptual [[Western Imperium]], and inclusion of [[Talionia]] and [[Aciria]] within [[Continental Obligations]] in a modified form, while including both nations within the [[Continental Diplomatic Arrangement Organization]]. This had the practical effect of creating the modern system of [[Imperial Diplomacy (Sarpedon)|Imperial Diplomacy]]. The negotiation provided for a separate agreement reached later between the two powers allowed for Caphirian investment into Urcea's Cronan sphere territories and protectorates, which was reached later in early 2015. Former Procurator and Special Envoy to Caphiria [[Michael Witte]] lead the negotiating team for Urcea. The Accords are widely agreed to have brought about the end of the [[Occidental Cold War]], and also opened the door for further negotiations that resulted in the [[Eight Points Agreement]], ending the schism between Caphiria and the rest of the Catholic Church.

As part of a general policy of containment and defense of the [[Holy Levantine Empire]] specifically and Levantia in general, the [[Apostolic Kingdom of Urcea]] adopted a policy of gaining land to create a buffer between the growing Caphirian influence and itself while continuing its expansion into the [[Sea of Canete]]. At the end of the [[War of Veltorine Independence]], Urcea acquired a small strip of land on eastern Urlazio with several ports and fortresses in order to protect Urcean interests in the [[Kingdom of Crotona]], and these territories were organized as the Kingdom of [[Talionia]]. These events created the Caphirian perception of [[Levantine Creep]], sparking several centuries of animosity between Urcea and Caphiria and a source of diplomatic tension between the two countries.

Like all other Royal houses throughout the history of [[Urcea]], the House de Weluta is the "great house" of the Estate of the [[Julii (Estate)|Julii]] within the [[Estates of Urcea]]. [[King Riordan VIII]] is the head of the House de Weluta and Custóir of the Julii Estate. The main line of the House is sometimes distinguished from the rest of the House by being referred to as the "''Carolines''", or even more rarely, the "''House of Caroline''", based on the agnomen adopted under the [[Tria nomina movement|tria nomina system]], ''Carolinicus''.
==Negotiation==
Low level negotiations between Urcea and Caphiria began as early as 2009, with Urcean diplomats interested in including Caphirian investors in projects in [[New Harren]] and other future area in [[Punth]], but were rebuked after the Caphirian Government publicly began a "No-Deals-Without-Urlazio" policy, elucidating no peace agreements without at least a full retrocession of the lands gained by [[Talionia]] from [[Caphiria]] after the [[Second Great War]] and preferably the cession of all of Talionia. Low level talks began after Urcean diplomats offered to return the island of [[Coribus]] and the strategically vital Ecinis peninsula in southern Talionia. These talks continually escalated until high level negotiations - including between [[King Riordan VIII]] and Imperator [[Constantinus I]] themselves. Urcean negotiators finally agreed to cede the Urlazio Strip to Caphiria following Riordan's intervention; it is claimed that the King informed negotiators to work with an "assume good faith" attitude towards the Caphirians.


== Origins ==
[[category:Politics]]
During a lengthy period of dynastic struggle in Urcea's history known as the [[Saint's War]], the House of Julio-Aleckán - direct heirs of [[St. Julius I]] - fought for control of the [[Apostolic King of Urcea|Julian Throne]]. Struggling with the House of Cónn, the Urcean Crown changed hands five times before the beginning of the Great Interregnum, a period in which Urcea was divided into the [[Urceopolis (Archduchy)|Archduchy of Urceopolis]] and [[Grand Duchy of Yustona]], with the holder of each claiming to be King but [[Urceopolis (City)|Urceopolis]] itself in the hands of the Papacy. The Aleckán dynasty died out during this period, and the Grand Duchy of Yustona passed to a cadet branch, the House de Weluta.

[[category:Politics of Urcea]]
Prior to its involvement in the dynastic feuds for the Urcean Crown, the Welute or Velucian Clan was a relatively minor clan in the [[Ionian Highlands]] in the eastern part of Urcea, but came into some prominence as a mercenary band during the [[Saint's War]]. [[List of Urcean monarchs#House%20of%20Julio-Aleck.C3.A1n%203|King Lucás I of the House of Julio-Aleckán]] enlisted the Velucian clan's aid in seizing [[Urceopolis (City)|Urceopolis]] in 1312 and were soon recognized as stalwart allies of the Aleckán dynasty. As a reward for their efforts in 1312 the clan was granted lands in the [[Urceopolis (Archduchy)|Archduchy of Urceopolis]], including one with a large outcropping of granite. The clan built [[Castle Welute]] and the lead branch of the clan became the House de Weluta from that point forward, though the Velucian Clan continued to exist in some form in the highlands until the middle of the 16th century. House de Weluta became a part of the [[Julian dynasty]] in [[1348]] when its leader defeated an advancing force of the [[Holy Levantine Empire]] which intended to resolve the [[Saint's War]] in favor of the Emperor, and consequently the house head was awarded with a daughter of the Aleckán Archduke at the time. Their marriage would result in several children, including the father of the future [[Apostolic King of Urcea]] Lucás II.

In the later portions of the Great Interregnum, the House de Weluta suceeded the [[List of Urcean monarchs#House%20of%20Julio-Aleck.C3.A1n%203|Aleckán]] dynasty as head of the Aleckán faction, and in so doing the de Welutas inherited the [[Urceopolis (Archduchy)|Archduchy of Urceopolis]]. Galvanizing the highland clans and Aleckán loyalists, Lucás de Weluta managed to end the [[Saint's War]] at the Battle of Glens Falls in 1401, becoming [[Apostolic King of Urcea]]. While some questioned the legitimacy of the de Welutas on the account of "mere" female succession from the Aleckáns, King Lucás II married the Cónn heiress following the battle, uniting the two branches of the [[Julian dynasty]] under House de Weluta.
 
While the house was briefly deposed during the 16th century, it was restored during the [[Great Confessional War]] with [[Emperor Leo III of the Holy Levantine Empire|King Leo II]] emerging victorious over Protestant rivals in 1565. The house was again briefly deposed prior to the [[Red Interregnum]] but was restored in 1902.

The Framework for Peaceful Co-Existence on Urlazio and Sarpedon, more commonly known as the Assumption Accords, was an agreement reached by the governments of Caphiria, Aciria, and Urcea, settling long standing disputes over territorial boundaries on Urlazio as well as geopolitical and legal claims in Sarpedon. The agreement entailed territorial cessions of the Ecinis peninsula from Talionia and the island of Coribus to Caphiria in exchange for Caphirian recognition of New Harren and Urcea's involvement in The Deluge, a demilitarization of Caphirian Urlazio and parts of southern Talionia, in addition to creation of free trade zones in the same areas. The agreement also included Herciana within Caphiria's tariff borders and implements economic regulation common between the island and Caphiria. As part of the agreement, Urcea ceased recognition of the Veltorine government-in-exile and ordered it to leave Talionia, where it had resided since the end of the Second Great War. In addition to the agreements between Urcea and Caphiria, Aciria, Caphiria, and Urcea signed additional agreements which provided for the withdrawal of Aciria from the Levantia and Odoneru Treaty Association, the end of the conceptual Western Imperium, and inclusion of Talionia and Aciria within Continental Obligations in a modified form, while including both nations within the Continental Diplomatic Arrangement Organization. This had the practical effect of creating the modern system of Imperial Diplomacy. The negotiation provided for a separate agreement reached later between the two powers allowed for Caphirian investment into Urcea's Cronan sphere territories and protectorates, which was reached later in early 2015. Former Procurator and Special Envoy to Caphiria Michael Witte lead the negotiating team for Urcea. The Accords are widely agreed to have brought about the end of the Occidental Cold War, and also opened the door for further negotiations that resulted in the Eight Points Agreement, ending the schism between Caphiria and the rest of the Catholic Church.

Background

As part of a general policy of containment and defense of the Holy Levantine Empire specifically and Levantia in general, the Apostolic Kingdom of Urcea adopted a policy of gaining land to create a buffer between the growing Caphirian influence and itself while continuing its expansion into the Sea of Canete. At the end of the War of Veltorine Independence, Urcea acquired a small strip of land on eastern Urlazio with several ports and fortresses in order to protect Urcean interests in the Kingdom of Crotona, and these territories were organized as the Kingdom of Talionia. These events created the Caphirian perception of Levantine Creep, sparking several centuries of animosity between Urcea and Caphiria and a source of diplomatic tension between the two countries.

Negotiation

Low level negotiations between Urcea and Caphiria began as early as 2009, with Urcean diplomats interested in including Caphirian investors in projects in New Harren and other future area in Punth, but were rebuked after the Caphirian Government publicly began a "No-Deals-Without-Urlazio" policy, elucidating no peace agreements without at least a full retrocession of the lands gained by Talionia from Caphiria after the Second Great War and preferably the cession of all of Talionia. Low level talks began after Urcean diplomats offered to return the island of Coribus and the strategically vital Ecinis peninsula in southern Talionia. These talks continually escalated until high level negotiations - including between King Riordan VIII and Imperator Constantinus I themselves. Urcean negotiators finally agreed to cede the Urlazio Strip to Caphiria following Riordan's intervention; it is claimed that the King informed negotiators to work with an "assume good faith" attitude towards the Caphirians.
