Fallesdam Conference

The Fallesdam Conference, or the First Partitioning of the Westenlands, was conducted between 506 and 507 between representatives of the nations of the League of Sovereigns, with the goal of determining the holdings and borders of various local kingdoms, and drafting the terms of their independence. While considered to have been a step forward in pan-Altirusian sovereignty, and having laid the foundation for modern borders, it was done with little regard for, or representation of, various cultural, ethnic, and political groups in the region, and focused almost solely on the interests of the Altirusian Monarchy.

Background
The groundwork Fallesdam Conference was laid during the Treaty of Harhaan at the end of the Third Great Eastern War in 506, coinciding with the foundation of the League of Sovereigns. Up until that point, many territories of the Westenlands were considered to be part of Chergaria, Bressia, or one of the other Old Empires, though geographic distances had prevented and real means of enforcement. Even after the construction of railroads, the Old Empires could stake practical claims only so far west. In order to maintain the League's cohesion, and to form an effective counter to the Lusivakian Commonwealth, it was deemed necessary to draw their respective frontiers more concretely, and grant autonomy to those territories making up their former claims up to the Pordski mountain range.
