Ambassador to Asavea
Overview
The Ambassador to Asavea is an Imperial title. It is an Imperial position appointed by the Imperial Senate. The embassy that created the title was commissioned by the Senate in Winter 377YE following a serious diplomatic incident related to levels of Imperial piracy in Asavean territorial waters, but work was not completed until shortly before the Summer Solstice 378YE. At one point the Asavean embassy was a fixture of the Sarvos social whirl and led to an influx of Asavean traders which in turn led to luxurious goods from the far west becoming more freely available on the streets of the city. Since the Empire declared war on the Asavean Archipelago the embassy has become a stark reminder of the dangers of international diplomacy.

The Title in Play
The role does not provide additional information about events in the Empire, nor allow the player holding it to request special reports or downtime actions. These details are assumed to be below the abstraction layer. The title holder is encouraged to create their own stories about their activities within reasonable limits and to get involved in events appropriate to their title during the game, but they do not have any powers beyond those explicitly listed in the section on powers.
These details exist partly to provide context and character to the role - and partly to allow our writers to use the title as a plot hook. Plot that involves the position will be rare - but all the campaign positions in Empire have these details to create the potential for it to happen.
