Overview

DIPLOMAT/AMBASSADOR

Diplomats and ambassadors are typically employed either by the Republic or the clans, to act as negotiators and liaisons between the various clans and other cultures in Aerval. Ambassador is also the title given to representatives of foreign nations, such as the Vrelanders and the Nekaht, who may be visiting Anarinuell on behalf of their respective nations.
