Overview
The Ambassador to Faraden is an Imperial title. It is an Imperial position appointed by the Imperial Senate.
The agreement to construct an official embassy was contingent on the liberation of Segura, and the repair of the Towers of Anduz. Without these two achievements, the Empire had no ability to protect trade routes (and avenues for diplomatic envoys) through the northern Lasambrian Hills.
Responsibilities
The ambassador is expected to represent the Empire in relations with the Faraden.
Consequence
Foreign dignitaries expect Imperial Ambassadors to speak on behalf of the Empire. On some occasions, the Senate has granted an ambassador the right to declare war or peace with a foreign nation. However regardless of what powers the Senate has chosen to vest in the office, most visitors will assume that the ambassadors words carry the weight of the Empire and respond accordingly. An ambassador may not be able to declare war on behalf of the Empire - but history has shown that they can cause a foreign nation to declare war on the Empire - if suitably provoked.
Powers
Authority
The civil service provide support to allow the ambassador to speak on behalf of the Empire when dealing with foreign dignitaries from the relevant nation. If the visitors are present at the summit and have requested an official audience, then the Senate room is made available for use by the Ambassador at least once. The ambassador is expected to receive guests from the Imperial throne and to decide on who will be present in the chamber during this audience.
Ministry
As a ministry, the title of Ambassador to Faraden allows the holder to purchase quantities of special materials at a set price. The ambassador spends their money and makes their choices during downtime from their character page. Money is removed from, and resources are placed into, the character's inventory when the downtime is processed.
The production of the ministry is related to the operation the Towers of Anduz in Segura..
