Peace of Cintra

Signed on 2 April 1268, the Peace of Cintra outlined the conditions following the war. The talks were held in Cintra between the Northern Kingdoms and the Nilfgaardian Empire, ending the 2nd Nilfgaard-Nordling War and ushering in a new world order. Although the negotiations were ostenisbly conducted by the monarchs, the treaty was actually the work of the Lodge of Sorceresses using their powers of persuasion with the various rulers.
