11 is a legislative act passed by the Commonwealth of Lyras on 28 February 2041, formally ending the Protectorate Wars and ending the military occupation of Sylvaris.[citation needed] The legislation recognized the liberation of Cenora Major and restored full political autonomy to the state, marking a definitive end to foreign rule in the region. The act mandated the withdrawal of Imperial forces from the Rendorlin coast by 30 June 2041 and established a transitional council to oversee the return of local governance structures.[1]
Concurrent with the restoration of sovereignty, the law required facilities previously under occupation, such as the Lysander Refinery, to upgrade infrastructure or adopt manual override mechanisms before resuming operations.[citation needed] This provision was critical in ensuring safety following the prolonged conflict and aimed to prevent recurrence of the industrial negligence that characterized the war period.[2] The legislation is cited as a turning point in the region's history, serving as a foundational document for subsequent Sylvaris Transit Corridor operations and digital archive security protocols established after the 2049 bombing.[3]
The passage of the act was welcomed by member states of the Cohesive Global Concord, though it triggered a period of diplomatic tension as the Ulmarkan Empire refused to acknowledge the legitimacy of the restored government.[citation needed] This diplomatic friction intensified just days before the act's signing when smuggled footage of the preceding Hand Trials caused international outrage.[4] The refusal by the Ulmarkan state to recognize the new administration persisted until 2044, when the empire left the Concord following further sanctions related to the humanitarian crisis in its territories.[5]
Post-war reconstruction focused on modernizing infrastructure, leading to significant expansion by 2049.[citation needed] The legislation remains a cornerstone of regional stability, although controversy over the state's role following the Sylvaris Transit Corridor Bombing continues to be debated in legal circles.[6] As of 2061, the act stands as a primary reference for understanding the transition from occupation to self-governance in the corridor region. The text itself is often consulted by historians and engineers alike, particularly when discussing the mandatory safety upgrades at facilities like the refinery or the structural integrity of post-war builds near the Riverside Creek.[7]
