	Completely unknown in the Empire, leomarids are marine creatures that look peripherally like a union of lion and fish, or perhaps sea serpent. A long piscine lower body with wide fins shades into a muscular upper body complete with two sturdy clawed legs, and a head with a distinct muzzle filled with fangs. The head and shoulders of the creature are covered in a mass of flexible tendrils reminiscent of a lion's mane but actually a little closer in function to the tentacles of a sea urchin, capable of delivering a stinging venom to those who get too close. The whole is sheathed in green-golden scales - those on the lower body being smaller and more delicate but darker in colour, while those on the upper body are more armoured and lighter in colour. The creatures are actually air-breathing, but like dolphins, whales, and seals are adept at holding their breaths for long periods of time. They live on rocky seashores across the Asavean Archipelago, where they are known to prey on dolphins and sharks. Reasonably intelligent as animals go, a pride of leomarids is more than capable of killing and eating a much larger shark, and occasionally even a small whale.

	The Asavean family are not giving these creatures over out of the goodness of their heart's however. In return they the Keeper of the Imperial Menagerie to arrange a formal invitation from the [[~~Imperial~~ Senate]] for members of the Ilotari family to attend the "summit against slavery" [[Invitation_to_slavery_summit\|announced]] during the Summer Solstice. They have been very specific in what they want: a statement by the Senate in the form of a [[Senate motion]], similar to that used to invite the Commonwealth, the Sarcophan Delves, the Sumaah Republic, and the Axou, inviting the Ilotari specifically to send a delegate.

	In return the Ilotari are prepared to make a gift of a mated pair of leomarids to the Empire, and to provide handlers who can train Imperial staff at the menagerie how to look after and groom the creatures. They are not easy to keep in captivity, requiring plenty of warm salt water, a reasonably large habitat, and a significant amount of meat to ensure they remain healthy. But they are hardy creatures, and the Ilotari believe they will not only be able to survive in the Empire but with a little luck may actually thrive. Regardless, this will be the closest any Imperial has ever been able to get to these majestic predators and presents a unique opportunity to examine them close-up.

	The renewed interest in Giselle has prompted some of her stronger supporters to suggest that the Synod has done her a great disservice in refusing to recognise that while she was not always [[Wisdom\|Wise]], she was still a very virtuous woman in her way. Those who knew her spoke often of her love for her people, her nation, and her city. Everything she did was in their name, for all that it might have angered the other nations. As such, claim these eager supporters, the Synod should admit that Empress Giselle was herself an exemplar of Pride, or of Loyalty. If this were done, it would be possible to use a dose of [[Liao#True Liao\|True Liao]] to create an [[Inspirational tomb]] for a woman whose love of the League has never been in doubt - whatever her other failings - potentially inspiring people in all four of the League cities.
