Fairuz was content to chat quietly with Ganymede Galaii as the Minister took up her position right next to Grandma. When Ryden Greyiron entered the room, the Emira's eyes glanced to him and watched him move, but she otherwise made no effort to greet him or engage in any further conversation. When it seemed the meeting was to begin, the Emira fell quiet. She accepted the papers handed to her and glanced through them, flipping pages with the others. If she had thoughts about what she was reading, she kept her exotic face placid, belying no other emotions. She held up her hand, and when she was called upon, she introduced herself, "I am Emira Fairuz, ruler of the Emirate of Sakand," she said for those at the table that didn't know her. "My question is only quasi-related to the subject at hand. As you are aware, Goraia had also annexed and taken over Sakand. In doing so, they took an important artifact from the city that greatly effected the welfare of my people and brought it to their headquarters in Goraia, now Meridian, and as far as I have been informed, that was its last known location. I seek the return of that stone to its rightful place in the Tallak ak Ara, and I wonder if that is a question I would post to High Lady Naoki, or a question I would post to the absent Duchess."

Ganymede fell quiet with the rest of them when the meeting came to order, relaxing back in her chair and curling a strand of her hair around her finger as she rested her eyes on Zemp. The nymph felt very much out of place at the table, too brightly colored too... casual... about this entire thing.
She didn't at all seem worried about reading any paperwork, or worrying about Meridian or anything else. She accepted the papers and thumb through it because it seemed polite, but after a while, she put the stack on the table then leaned back to sit quietly in her chair, crossing one leg over the other so her thigh flashed between the slit of her gown.
She had no words to offer and no questions to ask, but the Emira seemed to, so Ganymede was content to sit and wait for the answer.

Ryden Greyiron
Dedicated
Chancellor of Isra
Roleplay posts: 226
Age: 42
Physical Description: Taller than most at 6'4, with relatively short, steel-grey hair, and a well-groomed, dignified moustache and beard, Ryden Greyiron would have been considered handsome, once upon a time, and still might be by some, but stress and worry has gotten to him over the years, and more than anything, he looks weary. With well-defined, prominent cheekbones, a strong-set jaw, and a proud nose, he looks every part the stately nobleman he professes to be. His dark blue eyes are filled with a solemn and calculative consideration of everything around him. He has the lean and muscular body of a great swordsman not long out of their prime, and his movements show it - they are graceful, yet dignified, confident and determined.
Clothes and Equipment: Ryden is generally only seen in his engraved armor. His armour is an assembly of intricately engraved detail and runic symbols in equal measures. With his long and flowing grey cloak, he creates a distinctive impression of gravitas in all situations. His preferred weapon, a hand-and-a-half sword, is rather unusual. The hilt is worn and weathered with battle, and seems to be ancient, and yet the blade gleams and shimmers in the slightest of light as though it emerged from the flames of a forge only yesterday. The blade's edge is razor sharp, and appears to have never needed sharpening. His armour and sword both possess a degree of enchantment, but the extent of which is unknown, even to him.

Ryden laid his quill down gently beside the piece of paper he had been reading and annotating, the click of the bone against the bois de rose wood barely audible. As he did so, he looked around at the fan of papers around him - by merit of sitting at the head of the table, he was able to make good use of the space around him and have all of the relevant pages separate and distinct, and he considered them with a rising sense of discomfort.
While he was not inherently opposed to any major governmental reforms introduced by Naoki - other than the standard objections on the grounds of "democracy and equal right to voice in leadership" - as these were part and parcel of the style of leadership she purveyed - and, more to the fact, he knew about them ahead of time in a vague sense, and was expecting them. No, what made him feel especially uncomfortable was Zemp's role in the whole fiasco, and the rapidity with which it had occurred. It crossed his mind once more that there could be more significance in the choice to exclude Ryden from the intricacies and details of the political ameliorations and instead include Zemp, a public servant who answered directly to the chancellor, than the Lady of the City was publically announcing - and it was a thought that weighed on his mind more heavily than expected. After all, if she lacked faith and trust in him, how could he expect to be able to discharge his duties with the necessary authority and freedom from oversight?
However, that was a matter that would have to be resolved as and when any formal changes were cemented and decisions were made for the future of the city and the Free States. Ryden was not going to insert himself into the situation as it stood - there were far more important questions to be taken and answered from the rest of the Conclave members in attendance.
For now, though - one thing was clear. The winds of change were blowing through Isra, and they were blowing a gale.

Grandma’s lips curled upwards slightly as Zemp handed out the papers and gave an outline of what they would be doing at the meeting. Although she glanced at the papers, she didn’t seem to feel the need to study them very thoroughly, her attention aimed mostly at whoever was speaking. Her various rings continued to glow faintly as she leaned back in her seat, letting out a satisfied sigh. The elderly woman remained silent for the present, perfectly content to listen to matters that the other participants brought up.

Speaking up to address the question herself, Naoki remains in her seat and looks to Fairuz as she responds, “The Duchess would be unable to assist you with such a matter, as topics associated with the aftermath of our victory are being handled by my staff, including that of confiscated weapons and property.”
“I have not been briefed on any information relating to property seized from Sakand by the Goraian administration. However, as far as I’ve been made aware, none of the items that were left in the Goraian vaults seemed to have come from Sakand, and all hazardous magical items confiscated from the Goraian Ministry of The Arcane have been locked safely away as per protocol- to avoid any potential issues caused by their misuse or theft.”
“As such, I doubt it will be possible to see the return of the artifact you speak of.”
“However, if there is some manner Isra can assist in improving the welfare of Sakand’s population in which it is not already, this table would be eager to listen.”
Gesturing, Naoki indicates the assembled Conclave members sitting down one side of the table. As alluded to by Zemp, the entire Conclave will be able to work in all territories of Isra.

Fairuz's gaze was steady -- very steady -- on Empress Naoki. She couldn't even pretend to be surprised. She expected that the gem would not be returned. Isra sought power and domination, and that they would not return what did not belong to them was not shocking. This was what Fairuz was hoping for. A denial. But she had to make sure, and wanted to make sure that every single person in attendance of this meeting understood what was happening as clearly as Fairuz understood. She didn't look at Ryden Greyiron, and she didn't look at Grandma, two other officials of Isra that had helped to subjugate her people beneath Isra's banner. "Forgive me, but perhaps my Common is not as accomplished as I thought," Fairuz said smoothly. "Are you saying that you have the gem within your stores?" A simple question, seeking a simple answer.

Ganymede leaned forward in her seat, suddenly very interested in this meeting. Minister, Empress, Emira, Chancellor -- none of these titles really meant anything to her, but drama? Oh, she adored drama. She set her elbows on the table and her chin in her hands, her gaze and even her head slightly turning as she looked between Empress Naoki and @fairuz.

Calgary was maintaining the traditional Dawn Rider role in Conclave meetings of very obviously drifting asleep before waking with a start, but the sudden tension in the air kept even his attention. He found his hand subconsciously reaching for where he normally kept his hammer, only to remember that he had left it in his office. This tension was getting positively oppressive, and he suddenly felt very out of his element.

Drawing in a breath, Lady Naoki holds it for a moment before exhaling with a small huff. “Yes,” Naoki says, flatly. After a momentary pause, she continues, “I am also stating that all magical items taken from Goraia will remain in storage for the time being. It would be exceptionally foolish to risk another catastrophe like the one that took place in Stonevale. The power source of the Tallak ak Ara has been stolen, what, twice now, in living memory? Enough blood has spilled already; the gem will remain where it is.” Despite any feels of tension, Naoki seems outwardly unperturbed. She has simply made a statement, to be heard and heeded.

" Once, actually," the Emira responded right back at the Empress Naoki, composed, her accented voice smooth as wine. "The first gem in the Tallak ak Ara was damaged by the Cataclysm, causing a great decline of our people, our harvests, our culture. When things were most dire -- when Sakand was still but a mythical city to the rest of the world -- heroes stepped forward and went out to search for a gem to replace the one that was damaged, otherwise our people would have died. They found one through all their hardships, and returned it to the Tallak ak Ara, where there was much celebration in the city that would have crumbled to ash otherwise. "We are a people of peace, a people dedicated to the learning of majic and the prosperity of beauty. The gem that powered the Tallak ak Ara helped the spring waters to flow through the city, helped to bring health to its crumbling walls and its defeated people. Then, of course, the Goraian Regime came upon us and stole the gem from us, forcing us to be subservient to them, forcing us to be reliable on their hand and their resources as once again the city suffered. "By then, I had seen the mistakes that the Sakandi people had made and put new policies and reform in place to keep the city progressing past the hundred years of ruin that the first destroyed gem had caused... and perhaps I was foolish, but for some reason, I believed that the Israns had come to free us from the Goraian hold and return a very important artifact to the Tallak ak Ara that would greatly relieve the toils and pressures my people face. "If those gems were ever used as a weapon, they were never used as such by my people, in living memory, as you say. I will ask you again, High Lady, to please return what was forcibly ripped from the hands of my people. Otherwise, I do not see how the Isran occupation of Sakand is any different from the Goraian." She looked right at Naoki, her jade eyes steady.

The tension in the room didn’t seem to bother Grandma in the slightest, if anything, she seemed a bit pleased with the situation. Her gaze wandered over the various people in attendance, tapping her fingers on the table before her as she listened. The old woman seemed somewhat indifferent to Fairuz’ speech about how Sakand needed the fire gem, until the statement at the end that was. Had the Emira really just compared Isran occupation of Sakand to Goraian occupation? A preposterous statement, but still one that Grandma considered dangerous. Such a sentiment should be dealt with swiftly...

In listening to what Fairuz has to say, Lady Naoki sits quietly with her arms folded on the table. At Fairuz’ closing comparison, however, her head tilts slightly to one side, and her eyes open slightly wider as she looks down the table. To liken Isra to Goraia is, Naoki feels, tantamount to an insult of the highest order, exceedingly disrespectful, and uncalled for besides. If perhaps, Isra were imposing on Sakandi sovereignty in some way or doing anything more than refusing to relinquish such a powerful weapon, such remarks may perhaps be understandable. But in this instance, the line has been crossed from jabs in debate and outright attacks. With this, Naoki is none too pleased. “Allow me to apologize, Emira. I had forgotten that you were installed by the Goraians; it only stands to reason that you wouldn’t be able to see the difference, and I was wrong in thinking you could. One difference is such that Isra has not supplanted the leader of Sakand with one more respectful and cooperative, yet.” Though Naoki’s tone remains calm and steady, one may be able to hear the sarcasm as it drips from her words. “Another difference is found in how under Isra’s protection, Sakand has been free to institute reforms with no superseding interference, trade and liaise with the world without restriction, and do so without danger of starving, being attacked, or the next victim of a coup.” Without dropping a beat, she continues, “I had also forgotten about the heroic hardships undertook the heroes of Sakand in holding Duchess Camilla captive and forcing her to release the gem from its original protective enclosure, where it was sealed to prevent its potential use as a weapon of terror.” “How, could I, have forgotten, that.” Though she feels it would be appropriate to reiterate the fact that the gem will stay where it is, and perhaps set up some alternate course of action or at least discussion, Naoki stops here. The corners of her mouth drawn back and eyebrows raised, she would like to see what all The Emira has in response.

"A bit extreme, perhaps," Fairuz answered in regard to what the Sakandi heroes had done for Sakand, "as I'm sure they were under duress given the dire straights that Sakand found itself in. By the way you speak, it would stand to reason that you believe the gems belong to the Duchess Camilla?"
She laughed a little. "Oh, no, I'd forgotten that Isra has chosen to keep the gems for themselves, regardless of previous ownership or extenuating circumstances that would require a great need for the gems. So-called 'protection', given no one else but Isra can be trusted with them, regardless of the evidence to the contrary."
"I'm curious, High Lady," Fairuz said from where she sat, keeping very still. "Do you plan to depose me because I've said something mean? Isra is certainly powerful enough, especially given the so-called weapons of terror you keep in your stores. Whoever you don't like, you can replace. Whatever you want, you can take. That's the sort of power you wield now; you've made it clear to everyone here at this table, after all. Are you going to use it?"

Naoki scoffs. “I certainly wouldn’t like to. You’re the only one who needs to be told that saying mean things isn’t going to get you anywhere you'd like to be. I would even go so far as to say, in a setting such as this…”
Raising her arms, Naoki gestures down the table toward the others seated. “...It would even be counterproductive to your goals- a bad idea.”
After allowing a half moment for that statement to hang in the air, Naoki continues, stepping back to address Fairuz’ question.
“The gems once belonged to Duchess Camilla’s ancestors. The one we are concerned with now was locked away with an enhanced chest that only permitted descendants of the original owners to open it. I call attention to this and the method by which it was removed from that chest with the intention of noting that Sakand’s claim to ownership is no more legitimate than any other.”

"Then I suppose by your own admission, Isra has as little claim to the gems as Sakand does," Fairuz smiled back at High Lady Naoki. "Oh, but, of course -- it doesn't count that Isra aggressively invaded a country and took their coffers and possessions for their own regardless of the history behind such possessions. Isra's reasons were much, much nobler than Sakand's were, after all." She settled into her seat. "But I understand you perfectly, High Lady. Sakand will not have their gem returned to them, either at Isra's discretion, or the Duchess Camilla's discretion -- given that even by ancestry standards Isra will not be returning the gems to her, either." "I do apologize for comparing Isran Occupation to Goraian. My passions got the better of me when I'm disrespected, and for some silly reason, I expected Isra to be...," she paused for a moment, then found the word, "... better." She gestured with a hand. "My business is concluded." She had nothing else to say, and whatever last lines or quips the Empress Naoki had -- for Fairuz was sure that Naoki had one or two; the woman was dedicated to getting the last word -- but all the Emira would have is a soft smile and silence. (Unless, of course, the High Lady or any others present at the meeting demanded more answers or remarks from her)

“Mm hmh.” Lady Naoki acknowledges Faiuz with lips pressed together and a small nod. Listening to Fairuz conclude her argument, Lady Naoki sighs inwardly. An unfortunate conflict, this. Unfortunate in so much as she had hoped things would work out better between the two of them, between Isra and Sakand. Fairuz raises a valid argument, Naoki admits to herself, and were she in the same position, she would probably have acted similarly. But it would have been better was Fairuz not so insistent on this point, of all points. On other topics, Naoki thinks, she would be willing to compromise. But there isn’t much to be done about it at this point. This is, after all, the first generation, the first year. They’re still using the word ‘occupation.' It would be unreasonable to expect loyalty so soon. Relations ought to improve as time goes on, and perhaps Fairuz could be placated later. “In any case, I would like to hear now from the Ministers.” A significant look is directed toward Robert Fletcher and Ganymede Galaii . From him, Naoki expects an update on his initial assignment and any plans of his he might want to be funded. From Ganymede, an update on what she’s been up to in the wake of Prospernaila, and perhaps some information on what she intends to do next.

Oh, that had been exciting.
The Muse had been paying very close attention, that smile on her lips as her gaze had swept from Alpha Female to Alpha Female. She was careful not to laugh, however. Ganymede was fairly certain that neither one of the women would have appreciated the Muse's humors, even if they were tickled.
Business moved on however, and Ganymede's leaned forward in her seat, tossing waves of her pastel hair over her naked shoulder. "Oh?" she asked. "What do you want to hear?" Ganymede asked, her ancient accent foreign and happy on her words. "I have no paperwork."
Which... might have been expected. Ganymede was excellent at throwing parties and festivals, but absolutely terrible at the business side of things. She'd need an assistant, because although anyone could see that the Prospernalia had brought much business and good PR to Isra, Ganymede had absolutely no information to give how much sales might have jumped or any other such boring things that the Muse had no talent for.

Famous
Roleplay posts: 2,238
Physical Description: =========================
Empress Naoki is a curvaceous woman of average height, indeterminate age, and catlike features. Her hair is a dark auburn, often pulled back into a long braid. Her ears are both soft and fluffy, and her tail is never less than perfectly groomed. Amber eyes glisten in the shadows cast by her hair.
Clothes and Equipment: =========================
Naoki's wardrobe is to her as a frame is to a painting. Sometimes embellished with detail to be attractive in its own right, but never the focus. Usually simple but elegant, tightly fitting and highly revealing, used only to frame the beauty within.
Additionally, Naoki is, when clothed, often adorned with a small collection of accessories. She wears an earring, a brilliant cut amethyst, in her right ear. The silver signet ring of Isra is worn on her left pinky, marking her as High Lady of Isra. Directly adjacent, she wears the golden signet ring of The Isran Empire as its Empress. On the inside of her left thigh, there is a tattoo depicting a rose entwined with tentacles.
Allegiances: The Isran Empire

Lady Naoki shakes her head and makes a dismissive gesture. “I don’t want paperwork. I would like…”
She continues explanatorily, “to know what you are doing. What you’re up to, and if you have anything in particular planned- ideas. Anything that you might need funding for, or need in a more general sense. We discuss these sorts of things at this meeting so everyone may be aware, and such so that questions can be asked or input can be offered.”

Age: Any one she wants.
Physical Description: She takes a humanoid appearance, with long hair, nails, and eyes that changes colors depending on the mood she's in (usually found in some sort of periwinkle, lilac hue, tho). She usually takes a lush, hourglass-shaped feminine form.
Clothes and Equipment: Ganymede is always dressed in daring and bold fashion choices -- if she's in a good mood. If she's in a bad mood, she'll usually be clothed in dark and somber colors. She dresses according to the way she feels -- or according to the theme of her latest party.

"Ah, I see. Well... I think I will throw another festival for Isra," Ganymede said with a smile. "But I do not have any questions and I do not need any input."
Feeling that she had said her piece, she leaned back in her chair and crossed her legs, one hand idly playing with a length of pastel-hued hair. She had a ton of ideas floating around in that pretty head of hers, but she usually didn't share them with anyone unless she wanted to.

“Ah,” says Naoki. For the space of a few moments, all is silent. One fuzzy ear twitches.
Then she continues, “Well. When you would like some gold for that, do let us know.”
“Until then,” she rounds on the next subject, “Robert! What about you, what do you have for us?”
