Emancipation

[Corwin]

Update 5: Berry reports that the Gith have requested a meeting with you.

I asked that Vlaakith's representative is invited to the Cauldron for a meeting, so let's have one now!

[Anastasia]

Cool, how do you want to frame this: Formal, casual, quiet, big or what?

[Corwin]

Casual elegant.

[Anastasia]

Thus your throne room is set as...

Wonderful timing, Seira. May I join you from afar - just to watch for the moment, unseen by them.

[Corwin]

You're always welcome! Seira assures cheerfully.

[Anastasia]

You feel Waukeen's presence, looming nearby and yet unseen. The room that you receive the githyanki ambassador in is pleasant, elegant luxury, wealth that's tasteful and to your themes and colors.

The githyanki that enters is yellow as any of them, clad in a rich purple cloak and plate armor. Ambassador Xa'dani, who you have met before. He bows to you, "May I sit?"

[Corwin]

"Certainly," Seira agrees most graciously. Amaryl is at her side, but otherwise there are only a few attendants that are there to offer refreshments and other amenities before leaving the ambassador just with the pair of them and Oraga's comforting presence behind their thrones.

[Anastasia]

Amaryl smiles, made up. Her hair is in a braided bun, sitting straight upright and with her hands in her lap. "You sought an audience with us?"

Oraga looms, rumbling like the earth splitting in two.

"Queen Vlaakith wishes to inquire to the state of the war, its conclusion and any likely followup," Is the answer you get.

[Corwin]

"We are happy to announce that the Abolition War has been concluded decisively in our favor," Seira tells Xa'dani. "There is no merit in gloating publicly, yet our goals have been achieved in full. All slaves held by the Dao and the Efreet nations have been freed, and slavery itself within their borders is... strongly disfavored, shall we say? We believe that Her Majesty will enjoy hearing that."

[Anastasia]

"We have no love of slavers, on that we agree," The ambassador agrees to you, "Queen Vlaakith wishes to pass on her congratulations on that victory."

[Corwin]

"Thank you, and please relay our thanks to Queen Vlaakith," Seira responds. "As for the question on followups, we simply see no reason for further hostility. If the efreet and the dao hold to the written agreements, that will be enough. Should they hold to the spirit of the agreements as well, the peace will be lasting."

[Anastasia]

A nod, "Informally," The Ambassador asks, "Her Majesty has a keen interest in understanding if these terms will hold."

[Corwin]

"Informally," Seira tells him, matching the ambassador's tone, "The phrasing of the accords was written by myself alongside Celestia's top lawyers. So long as they prevent slavery by all the players on the Inner Planes, they will hold. We believe that only the Hells are capable of pushing things, and they will be busy with their own schemes and unwilling to risk their gains by upsetting ours in the process. Naturally, if Queen Vlaakith ever hears differently from her many contacts, I would appreciate a friendly warning."

[Anastasia]

"I will pass your desires to the Queen," The ambassador agrees, "Ah," Clapping his hands after, an easy smile, "The Queen also has a message for you," He withdraws a sealed scroll, "To be read at your leisure."

[Corwin]

"I see," Seira says, accepting the scroll. She'll read it with Amaryl and Oraga after this audience ends.
