The Lhaeraidh-Newreyan Treaty also referred to as L-NT is a bilateral treaty between Newrey and tir Lhaeraidd which was formalised and signed in 1987.

History

Diplomatic relations between Newrey and tir Lhaeraidd are among the most historically positive in the world. Since the end of the Golden Age of Raiding the two countries have consistently worked together internationally, especially in areas of trade, education, and science. The close cultural bonds between the two nations have fostered an attitude of trust and good faith between the countries, and Newrey was one of the first Asuran nations to recognise tir Lhaeraidd's neutrality, in 1905. During the Great War both nations fought on the side of the Grand Alliance, and focused their efforts on neighbouring Cuirpthe, which led to close military cooperation and coordination. Post-war the two countries worked hard to rebuilt their economies and trade networks, and continued in the spirit of cooperation by mutual investment and expansion of global markets.

In 1987, following the formation of the West Asuran Concordat by tir Lhaeraidd (among others), Prime Minister Richard Cawt approached the Lhaeraidh government requesting a summit to discuss the future of Newreyan-Lhaeraidh relations and therefore the Concordat's position in relation to Newrey. What followed were a series of diplomatic meetings held in Norlynn, Newrey, in which the initial terms of the Accords were agreed. The initial terms of this treaty would form the base framework of all future diplomatic endeavours and treaties proposed by the Lhaeraidh government, and was second only to the WAC in terms of its comprehensive nature. The fact that it has not undergone any amendments in the time since and that it still holds strong today is a testament to the signatories' close relationship and cooperation.

The Accords were officially signed by Prime Minister Richard Cawt of Newrey and Teyrn Bedwyr XV of tir Lhaeraidd on the 6th June 1987.
