The '''Aesir Accords''' was a {{PIAT}} between the [[New Pacific Order]] and [[Valhalla]]. It was signed on, and effective from, 19 March 2007; despite being superseded on 16 June 2007 by the enactment of "[[The Ebynissa Accords]]" a [[Mutual Defence Pact]] between the two alliances, the Aesir Accords remain an active agreement and the signatories are still bound by the terms of the document.
