"hmm. . . Who wrote this treaty? can you please give us more information? Do you have a copy of the treaty that I can look at. I am afraid that I can't ask King Darthraxx Permission without fully understanding the situation."
"Who wrote it? The three kingdoms of the South, of course. As I said, we did not expect such ignorance, so we did not bring a copy."
Before he says anything more, Gidie interrupts, "He speaks the truth. Enguerrand and I uncovered this treaty in the early days of our planning. It is likely still in his study."
"Well then, let us go view it, so we may hope to find a loophole, or else learn exactly of our plight."

Gidie leads them upstairs to what was once Enguerrand's study. Fortunately, the renovations have not reached it yet, and everything appears to be as the former lord of the Bears left it. The wizard searches through the piles of papers until he finds what he's looking for. "The Treaty of Kasp, which brings a peaceful resolution to the war between the Lion, Dragon, and Shadow Kingdoms and the Stag Kingdom.... After the period of twenty years in which taxes are to be collected and specified structures are to be held empty (see Section I, Article E), the united armies and the kingdoms they owe allegiance to are to permanently leave the territory formerly held by the Stag Kingdom as well as the territory dubbed the Great forest, which stretches from that kingdom’s former holdings to border with the kingdoms of the north. In order to enforce this abandonment, an order of wardens is to be established, based primarily in this castle of Kasp and taking their name from it. Thus, they will be known as the Kaspik wardens. The symbol of these wardens will be antlers on a red field, in order to represent both this castle and the former Stag Kingdom.... These Kaspik wardens and all Kaspik wardens of the future must be dedicated to keeping the Great Forest free from interference by the southern kingdoms, especially military interference, such as establishing standing armies or fortifications in the Great Forest.... Signed by King Roul of the Lion Kingdom, King Geoffroi of the Dragon Kingdom, King Gosse of the Shadow Kingdom, King Eudes of the former Stag Kingdom."

Section II, Article B.8. and Section III, Article C. may prove useful.
8. The following articles concern future provisions relating to the Kaspik wardens.
If the Kaspik wardens attempt to establish a strong military presence as forbidden in the terms of this treaty, they are subject to interference. If a peaceful agreement cannot be reached in such a case, the kingdoms of the south may send an army, representing each of them approximately equally, of number no greater than two men for each Kaspik warden. If this army fails, only then may full military action be taken.
If the Kaspik wardens entirely fail to perform their duties of maintaining peace and preventing military powers from forming in the Great Forest, the southern kingdoms may interfere. In such an instance, they should disband the organization and rebuild it in the same way outlined above. They may also take military or diplomatic action to correct the wardens’ failures, but must cease said action immediately once the objective is completed.
If such events befall the Kaspik wardens such as to render them entirely incapable of performing their duties, but have not yet actually failed in any major way, the southern kingdoms may dismiss remaining members and recreate the organization as described above, but may not interfere militarily in any way, including sending armies into the Great Forest.
C. The following articles concern the presence of soldiers and armies in the Great Forest.
In order to contribute to foreign wars, the southern kingdoms may move troops through the Great Forest, but they may not remain any longer than is necessary, as determined by the Kaspik wardens.
Armies from the north may also move through the Great Forest without interference from the Kaspik wardens so long as they comply with the conditions specified above.
Battle between large forces, the exact size to be determined by the Kaspik wardens, must not take place in the Great Forest. It is the duty of the southern kingdoms to do everything within their power to prevent such conflicts to the best of their ability. If such battle cannot be avoided, it may take place, but involved parties are subject to appropriate punishment from the Kaspik wardens.

OOC: I really don't understand how these will help. Can you explain, I'm not that good on politics. Nothing in their explains how one kingdom could create a base their, or dissolving the treaty itself, just the wardens.
