Elven Ambassadors



A holdover from various would be conquerers, the Elven Confederacy has held a long lasting embassy in the Crossroad Islands, a location for their merchant ships to rest and relax during especially long voyages. The Embassy is much like the rest of Elven architecture, made from smooth marble that seems almost grown from the ground itself. Outsiders are rarely allowed onto the grounds however, the Elven people secretive and keen on guarding their secrets from prying eyes. The Elven Confederacy take Mages when they're found into schools where they teach them to be Ambassadors, either to other Elven nations within the Confederacy or abroad in cities along their Trade Routes. Parts power play, spreading of culture and keeping the more rebellious nation states under control and under the eyes of more conservative nations. This makes Ambassadors into, at the basest, well paid spies and thieves for the Elven Confederacy with the added bonus that if other nations outside the Confederacy catch wind of such goings ons they can distance themselves from the individual Ambassador and deal with them as they see fit. More often than not the Ambassador is recalled to their home nation state and placed in another position those that are caught working against the Confederacy or dabbling in taboo issues are merely killed and a new Ambassador is placed in their stead.
