Concord of Eight Hearths
Eight regional delegations adopted common heat measures and fixed obligations to supply winter grain.
What happened
The delegations represented the predecessors of today’s eight realms, not their present constitutions. The agreement treated heat as measurable trade and required relief before northern thaw. Its stones were calibrated in a warm workshop. The cold-drift defect now under investigation could turn two centuries of apparently fair exchanges into evidence of systematic underpayment.
Where to look
The event is anchored at Garnetrun. Related witnesses and institutions appear in the connections rather than being treated as a detached chronology.
Eight realms have survived an unnatural winter. Their rescue may have been built on a theft.
Independent listeners heard a child asking to go home inside the fortress cedar.
Surveyors found warm water beneath old ice and collected the jar now examined in Garnetrun.
The tidekeeper ordered a precautionary evacuation before the next unscheduled opening upstream.
The first Assembly met outside the locked grain hall and declared Athelarden a free state.
A failed chamber exposed a child’s shoe fused into the oldest furnace slag.
