			The title has all the [[Ambassador#Powers\|common powers]] of an ambassador: they can receive a formal [[Ambassador#Delegation\|delegation]], and may prepare a [[Ambassador#Treaty\|treaty]]. As such they are responsible for representing the Empire to the Confederacy, and to a degree vice versa. They are presented as the primary contact for any official Imperial business relating to the Suranni people, so their letters carry much greater weight and importance than anyone bar [[the Throne]]. They are expected to conduct or oversee any [[Ambassador#Treaty\|treaty negotiations]] with that nation, and receive official [[Ambassador#Delegation\|delegations]]. The [[civil service]] will direct representatives and citizens of the foreign power to the ambassador wherever appropriate.

			==Iron Confederacy Lore==
			===Suranni Embassy===
			The Senate commissioned the [[Construct_Iron_Confederacy_embassy\|construction]] in [[Sarvos]] of an embassy with the Iron Confederacy during the Spring Equinox 379YE. The embassy was completed shortly before the Summer Solstice 379YE, and '''Lukash Biessek von Temeschwar''' was appointed as the first ambassador. Rumour at the time suggested that the Iron Confederacy expressed a preference for Lukash specifically.

			The embassy itself is a severe building by Sarvosan standards - a circular granite and white marble keep surrounded by six stubby towers. It serves as a base for a small number of Suranni bureaucrats who are notable both for their standoffishness and for the fact all of them bear the [[naga]] [[lineage]]. It also hosts a cadre of lawkeepers - knights of the Iron Confederacy charged with enforcing the laws laid down by the Dukes - who cooperate with Imperial magistrates in hunting members of the Hand of Dumon secret society. Suranni diplomats posted to the Empire come and go regularly, with the staff changing at least as often as the Empire's own ambassador does. This is believed to be a consequence of the complex politics of the Iron Confederacy and the various rivalries between the Dukes. However it is an enduring rumour that the embassy itself is run by a prestigious Suranni priest of [[Suranni_pantheon#Arav_the_Judge,_Maiden_of_Silence\|Arav the Judge]] who never leaves the building and ensures everyone working there maintains the right level of idealogical "purity" despite exposure to the "corruption and vice" of [[the League]].

			The Imperial embassy in [[Foreign_ports#Robec\|Robec]] is similarly somewhat at odds with the surrounding buildings, being a fusion of Freeborn and League architectural styles. The priesthood of [[Suranni_pantheon#Kavol.2C_the_Veiled_King\|Kavol]] make no secret of the fact that they keep the embassy and its staff under constant observation, vigilant for signs of espionage or attempts to propagate the assorted heresies and blasphemies that Imperial citizens take for granted - virtues, for example, or the practice of magic.
			{{WingedMessenger\|address=Baroness Katerine Lavasse of Meore, Tour Lavasse, Chaubrette, Iron Confederacy}}
			===Suranni Ambassador===
			The Suranni ambassador to the Empire is ''Baroness Katerine Lavasse of Meore'', who operates from the Tour Lavasse in Chaubrette, a territory unknown to Imperial citizens that apparently lies to the west of Veroigne. A noble naga, she replaced the significantly more dogmatic Jeanne de Hibernat, a High Priestess of the Suranni god [[Suranni_pantheon#Evra_the_Smith,_Maiden_of_the_Forge\|Evra the Smith, Maiden of the Forge]]. She has already indicated that she is very much more pragmatic than her predecessor and more interested in compromise. She still reports to the Dukes of the Iron Confederacy, however, and so her apparent goodwill toward the Empire cannot be relied upon.
			===Ambassadorial Briefings===
			As discussed in the 388YE Autumn Equinox wind of fortune '''[[So_little_I_wanted,_so_little_I_got#Ambassadorial_Briefings\|So little I wanted, so little I got]]''', the [[civil service]] have recently reinstituted Ambassadorial briefings. At least in the short term, the civil service have resumed furnishing Imperial ambassadors ''who are supported by [[embassy]] staff'' with individual briefings where necessary and appropriate. To maintain transparency and preserve continuity, the briefings are made available to those who wish to review them ''after'' the summit where they are delivered, in a similar way to which [[historical research]] is made public. Only those elements of a briefing that are specifically personal to the ambassador may be removed, and only where they are clearly not of interest to the Empire. At the end of the year, this procedure will be reviewed again, to ensure that it is fit for purpose.

Courted by both the Empire and the [[Asavean Archipelago\|Asaveans]], the Suranni Dukes are content to to play both interests off against each other. They made some concessions to the Liberty Pact by "redefining" their slaves as "serfs", but those who have actually visited Suranni lands say that the lives of the lowest class of their society have barely improved with this change in terminology.

It seems their successes against the Wreckers have inspired the Suranni to begin a war of conquest against the Lasambrian Jotun as well, fighting in the hills of [[Reinos]], .
