Ambassador to the Sumaah Republic

Overview

The Ambassador to the Sumaah Republic is an Imperial title. It is an Imperial position appointed by the Imperial Senate.

After a false start in Winter 378YE, the Senate eventually commissioned an embassy for the Sumaah Republic in Spring 379YE. The project was been dogged by problems, and not completed until shortly before the Spring equinox 380YE. This delay exacerbated the growing fury of the Sumaah Republic towards the Empire, which culminated in a declaration of war by the Republic in late 379YE.

That declaration was rescinded during the Summer Solstice 382YE, but at the same time the Sumaah declared themselves the custodians of the Way and denounced Imperial claims to authority over the religion.

Prior to the Winter Solstice 387YE, the Ambassador was able to purchase goods from merchants and those seeking favour. This was changed, along with the rest of the ambassadors, when the Senate voted to amend the embassies to end the practice, removing mercantile support and the upkeep costs at the same time.

The ambassador is expected to represent the Empire in relations with the Sumaah Republic. They have all the responsibilities common to an Imperial ambassador.

Sumaah Ambassador

The Sumaah ambassador to the Empire is Oxtitocszin, who holds the rank of Censor of wood, metal and stone and is a member of the High House of Pride (the Sumaah equivalent of the Pride Assembly, but with significantly more responsibility and leeway to pursue foreign diplomacy). They advise not just the Sumaah präster, but the House of the People (the Sumaah equivalent of the Imperial Senate). By all accounts they are an even-handed, level-headed individual, and a devout practitioner of the Way.
