Ambassador to the Commonwealth
Overview
Despite being commissioned in Summer 379YE, the Commonwealth embassy was not completed until shortly before the Spring Equinox 380YE. This followed several months of growing tension between the powerful south-eastern nation and the Empire, including a number of tariffs imposed by the Commonwealth government on Imperial imports and exports. The Commonwealth port of Leerdam is home to a palatial estate that has been made available for the use of Imperial civil servants. The embassy stood in Siroc, on the southern coast of Madruga before it was destroyed as part of the sack of Siroc before the Winter Solstice 385YE.
