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That declaration was rescinded during the Summer Solstice 382YE, but at the same time the Sumaah declared themselves the custodians of the Way and denounced Imperial claims to authority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

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

The embassy in Necropolis means that the ambassador enjoys the benefits of mercantile support from traders prepared to deal with the Imperial citizens. As a ministry, this allows them 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.
