The civil service will direct representatives and citizens of the foreign power to whichever title or body has been granted authority to represent the Empire. The power of authority cannot be vested in multiple titles or bodies; it must be absolutely unambiguous who holds authority.
In Spring 377YE, the Senate passed a motion to create ambassadors with several foreign nations but indicated that the scope of their responsibilities was purely to initiate trade in resources. Because of this limitation, it was judged that these positions did not carry any authority and were ceremonial titles only. It is not possible to create a diplomatic post that has authority only in specific areas.
As a result, this is a ceremonial title, with the responsibility for helping with trade with the Sarcophan Delves - it does not have legal powers or authority. Authority to negotiate with the Sarcophan Delves continues to remain with the Imperial Consul.
