Geldish-Einsiedelnisch Relations

This article is about the relations between Geltisch Handelsrijck and The Fallen Empire of Einsiedeln and their people. It includes diplomatical, cultural, historical and linguistic ties.

Historical
There used to be ties between the two countries dating back to the first united Geldish state led by Hans van Eerst. After the fall of said state, the official relations were void. The second united Geldish state led by Zaereth van Eerst made no attempts to contact Einsiedeln.

Current
Geltisch Handelsrijck, the third state to ever unite The Geld restarted the relations between the two countries. 2 years and 3 months after the founding of Geltrijck, their king, Zephyr Pradox reached out to the Einsiedelnisch Princess, Emelia. They scheduled a meeting at Schwarz Palast for a week later, but when the Geldish delegation arrived, they were told that there was no meeting scheduled. It became apparent that when the letters were translate from Geldish to Einsiedelnisch, the translator wrongly translated the month from (3rd month name) to (4th month name). After this discovery the Geldish delegation went back to Handeldam.

They came back again the next month, at the original date for the Einsiedelnisch side. At the meeting attended by the Geldish king Zephyr Pradox, the Geldish Senator Kadrys van Zyl and the Einsiedelnisch Princess Emelia, a Non-Aggression pact was signed along with a cultural book exchange. A more detailed look into the meeting can be found in this wiki page.

First Geldish-Einsiedelnisch Treaty of Schwarz Palast
The first treaty ever signed between the nations of Geltrijck and Einsiedeln, the treaty contains 9 articles. Articles 1.1, 1.2 and 1.3 concern the NAP. Articles 2.1, 2.1.1, 2.2, 2.2.1, 2.3 and 2.3.1 concern the cultural book exchange mentioned in the treaty.



Historical Ties
Six centuries ago, a great famine caused the migration of a big group of people. They migrated South of the river "De Handel" where rumours told of arable lands and fruitful forests. These people were Einsiedelnisch. Century after century of growing more distant led to the gradual change from Einsiedelnisch to the forming of a new culture and people. Geldish. The people that once were one became two different cultures.

Cultural Ties
Though the two cultures are now different from each other, the similarities are still visible. The Geldish people and Einsiedelnisch people consider themselves brothers and sisters. They feel a strong connection to each other. Traditions, manners and etiquettes and myths in both countries are often similar too.

Linguistic Ties
Both languages are mutually intelligible to a small extent when spoken and to a greater extent when written down. It doesn't take too long for Geldish people to learn Einsiedelnisch just as it doesn't take long for Einsiedelnisch people to learn Geldish. It is common for scholars from both countries to know each other's languages.
