Ignoring the Darkan principle of simply pretending that treaties don't exist ( ),
That's just jaune. We've actually signed a treaty with Eston, but since the word so far has been that when the new treaty system goes live, all existing treaties will be wiped clean and you'll have to re-do them, what's the point signing in all the treaties you need?
Practice!
Practice isn't worth all the travels required.
