"As of now," Lady Audrey began, "Lord Marquis Shintaro Nishida of Aozora; Jakud Gediminas and the nobility of the Grand Duchy of Voruta. I plan to visit and invite Queen Velmerys of the Velmerys Imperium, Ulfang von Haren of the Black Vale, and Lord Crovan of the Winterlands. A trip to the Land-Tillers Expanse is also in order. After the formal invitations have been set, and accommodations seen to, other lords and ladies from across the world will be invited as well."

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.

The Empress nods as Lady Audrey speaks. She is acquainted with most of those mentioned, some more personally than others. But she has yet to meet Ulfang von Haren and has heard precious little of “Queen Velmerys,” so there may be something to be gained by attending the feast.
Then again, perhaps not. It is something she will consider.
“Perhaps I shall grace this feast with my presence,” she says. “When will it occur?”

The Lady Naoki sits languidly upon the throne, contemplating the complexities of a tapestry as she awaits the first suitor. As she’s been told and to no one's surprise, they’ve come out in droves. The process has been formalized by her staff. Numbers have been given, and appointments have been made; apparently, she’s booked for the next three months. The more “interesting” individuals as judged arbitrarily are being given priority, and the first of these “interesting” suitors or would-be-heirs is to come in momentarily. For the occasion, The Throne has had its splendor somewhat... muted. Curtains have been drawn across the windows, the music is low, and there are seemingly fewer guards present. This is intended to give the illusion of a more personal environment with fewer distractions. However, The Empress herself is wearing one of her more extravagant, less modest outfits, oh-so-benevolently deigning to make it worth the trip.

Once Keph is safely deposited at the throne room, Rodrick would be off for the night, his shift completed. The young man was pleasant enough. From her many public appearances and speeches, Rodrick knew the Empress was a right sort of lady. She cared for Isra, did right by its people. It was hard not to find oneself nodding along at her more exuberant points.
The pair walk in silence as the Citadel changes modes from its daytime operations to those of the nocturnally inclined. The pathways and roads are well lit, with tall iron lamp posts nestled at street corners and near alleyways. Attendants walk amongst the posts like orchardists checking on the fruit of their labor. Each one carries a tall rod with a spark at the end and a belt full of tools. In addition to ensuring the magic lamps are in proper order, the men and women check the cobblestones of the roads, leaving large chalk Xs on any flagstones deemed out of line. Night at the Citadel may be silent, but not for lack of action.
“We’ll be approaching the Throne soon. The guards will ask you for your pass at that point. I can walk you up to the doors,” Rodrick speaks this last word with weight and import, “but you alone will enter in.”
Quiet returns. The great doors to the Throne Room sit firmly shut at the end of a great hallway. Guards flank to the left and right.
A cursory glance at Keph’s pass prompts one of the more important looking guards to give a whispered: “All right, sir, your pass is in order. The Empress expects you.”
The doors shudder and groan as their massive hinges, each one the size of a generously proportioned encyclopedia, set the rest of the door in motion. At some point, Rodrick has left Keph. With the utter silence of the guards around him, the hall feels quite desolate.

Keph
Dedicated
Roleplay posts: 227
Age: 18
Physical Description: Standing at 5'2 feet and sporting amazing snow white hair is the one, the only self-proclaimed Master Adventurer: Keph d'Avon. Many question how he'd get such an odd hair color and he isn't quite sure himself. No doubt some oddity related to all the magic in the world, as it surely isn't dyed. While Keph is no doubt a young lad, he looks young even for his age; maybe it's the lack of a beard or that soft, innocent look of his? His demeanor certainly does him no favors in people giving him less years than he's worth.
While Keph has a mostly innocent look that appears to be constantly surprised an enamored with much of what happens around him, it's clear that he's seen some battle. The back of his right hand has a scar that any keen observer would notice to most likely have been made by the swift slice of a blade, the fact that his skin is mostly soft and untarnished makes it only easier to spot this out of the blue. Surprisingly, as innocent and soft as Keph appears he is actually quite athletic and his small size no doubt betrays these physical abilities!
_________________________________________________________
Clothes and Equipment: A dark brown cloak covers his shoulder, made out of a Platiusm he hunted himself and had an Isran tailor make out of its pelt. The cloak's hood was lined with a variety feathers.
A few spines are still leftover from the prey’s hide, and stick out from his shoulders, the spines, on one side, stab through a glorious shoulder pad made out of an assortment of colourful feathers, stuck onto a thin layer of leather, keeping it all in place. On the other, you have a carved, wooden mask, made by the young man. It has a few more holes than one would expect a mask meant for a human to have, a result of the thin spines having stabbed through it to keep it from ungracefully falling off his shoulder.
Under his cloak, he wears a padded, blue cloth coat, recently extensively repaired, as he refuses to replace this trusty piece of equipment. Not only warm, but fashionable, and provides protection against some cuts. If it's too hot? A white, thin linen shirt is found beneath the coat.
The coat, as nice as it was, was partly hidden under a variety of knick-knacks, bags, and other useful travel equipment:
-A satchel, which hangs from his shoulder and crosses his torso, on the outside of it a few trinkets such as a necklace with a variety of beast teeth and also a bottle of ink, with a quill sticking from its cork;
-The satchel’s belt had been made to function as a bandolier, a set of inky, black… eggs hung from it;
-On top of it all, a finely crafted hunting bow found within a bow holster and a quiver, both crossed in the opposite direction as his satchel, doing its part to conceal his nice clothes beneath his disorganisation.
His legs are kept concealed and warm with a pair of beige linen pants which are kept up by a sturdy leather belt, on them one finds an even larger variety of knick-knacks and tools than his overused satchel - a sword, a dagger, pouches, more trinkets, a small hide pack hanging from the side, and more eggs.
One could only wonder why he needed half of what he kept.

Things were progressing far differently than Keph had imagined! Where was the line of people? Even if just a rumour, he expected far more people here! In such a situation, he could've surely sneaked away if only for an hour or two to look around the Citadel that he found so interesting. Last time he had been here, all he had gotten to really see was an Enclave and it did not disappoint. Wait... this also meant he would actually have to meet with the Empress... he didn't have anything planned for that!
Getting to experience the Citadel's change of modes was - as much in the Citadel was - awe-inspiring and did manage to calm the young man down by quite a bit. He looked around himself while following Rodrick. His eyes moving from attendant-to-attendant, watching the fairly large group of people go about their individual tasks, each doing said tasks in a slightly different way than the previous attendant he had seen. His glare locked onto one of the lamp posts just as it was lit, small embers flying out and upwards into the dark sky, before dying, for a brief moment Keph was lost in thought, that was before Rodrick spoke up and reminded him of his situation.
Keph walked up the steps, handed his pass, waited for it to be checked, and then entered. At this point, Keph was so used to walking with Rodrick that even though the man had told him he would have to enter alone, he expected to see him at his side. The young hunter sighed and frowned, he hadn't even gotten the guard's name!
Again, Keph was forcibly pulled out of his own head, this time by the loud noise and the ensuing shudder of the massive doors, which caused him to hop in surprise. He exhaled and brought a hand to his chest, he really had to calm down.
Step-by-step, Keph made his way through the desolate, creepy hall of the throne room - his legs moving stiffly, nervously. He didn't feel all that comfortable with all those silents guards flanking him from both sides, but it's not like he could complain; forward was the only way to go, so he was pretty sure that even though it was him, finding his way there wouldn't be an issue.

From the throne, Naoki watches her first guest enter and sighs to herself. Someone must think they’re pretty clever, sending a Fletcher in here first. It’s generally understood among her staff that this whole process is a waste of time, but they could at least make an effort to vet the candidates. The idea of a Fletcher-led Isra… one shudders at the thought.
Regardless, she said she would see all visitors, and here he is. He has the look of an adventurer about him, so covered in accessories. Seems very young from over here. Walks funny. Has he seen her yet?
Lady Naoki waits quietly, expecting her guest to make some sort of greeting.

Keph poked his head into the throne room, eyes wandering about the ridiculously well-adorned room. Wow. The place sure had a lot of windows; gods, how high up was he right now? He hadn't even properly entered the Throne room yet, but already it felt like he could see the entire city from the huge windows next to the throne. Speaking of the throne, he had only just now noticed someone sitting on it - said 'someone' definitely being the Empress, as he recalled her from the Yuletide feast.
Finally, he took a step into the room and then a few more cautious steps towards the throne. He was relatively new to Isra, never having even heard of the land until he had arrived there, so he wasn't quite sure how one was meant to properly act around nobility or even address them. He kept looking between the Empress and her numerous guards, checking for any cues which might inform him of a screwup on his part.
He stood there, staring at her in complete silence; he was expecting her to start off with a greeting, maybe a fancy little speech that nobility apparently adored giving. Yet, after two minutes of just standing there, he sighed as he came to the conclusion that he was the one meant to start this off. As usual, he reached into his bag to pull out a notebook, he was still quite a bit away from the throne so he'd make sure to write in larger letters so it was all more easily read:
"Keph is here."
It took him a while to write just that, but one couldn't really blame him - after all, what else was he suppose to say? The young man again stared at the Empress with a confused look expecting (and hoping) that she'd guide him along whatever the procedures were for such a situation.

“Keph is here,” she reads aloud.
Another moment passes in silence, and Naoki begins to wonder if perhaps she should have had the minstrel play something, as they sometimes do when she’s receiving visitors.
“Well, hello. It’s a pleasure to meet Keph.” Though not insincere, she refers to Keph in the third person.
“Is Keph mute?”

While Keph had only seen the Empress once before, it had already become clear to him that she was someone that was far too concerned with what she had on. While he couldn't say the dress didn't look nice - was it really necessary? He wasn't given much time to further ponder city folk's obsession with fashion as what he had written was read aloud. The young man tapped at his chin, it wasn't often people bothered reading aloud - it was sort of weird. He was pulled out of his train of thought for a second time, this time by her response, he light smiled when she referred to him in the third person.
"Keph is indeed a mute. She's one of the few outsiders to refer to Keph properly." The young man's handwriting was clear and pleasant to read and he wrote at a pace that would beat even that of a trained scholar. After holding up the new message for long enough for the Empress to read, he gave a quick (and of course improperly performed) bow as thanks for the slight effort she put into referring to him in the third person.

“Mmmmh.” A murmur of acknowledgment. He must be one of the lonely few white-haired individuals who are not Fletchers.
At this point, The Empress isn’t entirely sure what to think. Here is Keph, and Keph is mute. Keph must go through an awful lot of parchment.
“And what would Keph ask of me?” she asks, curious to see his choice in phrasing.

Keph crossed his arms and began tapping a finger on his cheeks; what would he ask of her? That was a tough question. His cheeks briefly went red as more promiscuous thoughts crossed his mind - although, he quickly shook his head and did his best to move away from those. He didn't want to spend too much time donning on this, part due to not wanting to appear too conflicted and part not wanting to let something undesirable spill out. He was quick to retake the parchment to respond to the Empress.
"Keph would ask for a room here."

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.

Turning one palm upward in a confused gesture, Lady Naoki begins to get the impression there’s been a lapse in communication somewhere.
There’s a pause before she replies, “... That’s doable.”
“Keph will have a room at the Basket,” she declares, “but not before I learn of Keph.”
“Because Keph has piqued my interest,” she continues, “and I should like to know, ‘Who is Keph?’ and ‘How has Keph wound up here?’ There’s obviously some sort of story to be told, so step a bit closer, and take your time.”
With a waving sort of beckoning gesture, Naoki slides back into her seat, evidently prepared to wait.

Keph

Roleplay posts: 227
Age: 18
Physical Description: Standing at 5'2 feet and sporting amazing snow white hair is the one, the only self-proclaimed Master Adventurer: Keph d'Avon. Many question how he'd get such an odd hair color and he isn't quite sure himself. No doubt some oddity related to all the magic in the world, as it surely isn't dyed. While Keph is no doubt a young lad, he looks young even for his age; maybe it's the lack of a beard or that soft, innocent look of his? His demeanor certainly does him no favors in people giving him less years than he's worth.
While Keph has a mostly innocent look that appears to be constantly surprised an enamored with much of what happens around him, it's clear that he's seen some battle. The back of his right hand has a scar that any keen observer would notice to most likely have been made by the swift slice of a blade, the fact that his skin is mostly soft and untarnished makes it only easier to spot this out of the blue. Surprisingly, as innocent and soft as Keph appears he is actually quite athletic and his small size no doubt betrays these physical abilities!
_________________________________________________________
Clothes and Equipment: A dark brown cloak covers his shoulder, made out of a Platiusm he hunted himself and had an Isran tailor make out of its pelt. The cloak's hood was lined with a variety feathers.
A few spines are still leftover from the prey’s hide, and stick out from his shoulders, the spines, on one side, stab through a glorious shoulder pad made out of an assortment of colourful feathers, stuck onto a thin layer of leather, keeping it all in place. On the other, you have a carved, wooden mask, made by the young man. It has a few more holes than one would expect a mask meant for a human to have, a result of the thin spines having stabbed through it to keep it from ungracefully falling off his shoulder.
Under his cloak, he wears a padded, blue cloth coat, recently extensively repaired, as he refuses to replace this trusty piece of equipment. Not only warm, but fashionable, and provides protection against some cuts. If it's too hot? A white, thin linen shirt is found beneath the coat.
The coat, as nice as it was, was partly hidden under a variety of knick-knacks, bags, and other useful travel equipment:
-A satchel, which hangs from his shoulder and crosses his torso, on the outside of it a few trinkets such as a necklace with a variety of beast teeth and also a bottle of ink, with a quill sticking from its cork;
-The satchel’s belt had been made to function as a bandolier, a set of inky, black… eggs hung from it;
-On top of it all, a finely crafted hunting bow found within a bow holster and a quiver, both crossed in the opposite direction as his satchel, doing its part to conceal his nice clothes beneath his disorganisation.
His legs are kept concealed and warm with a pair of beige linen pants which are kept up by a sturdy leather belt, on them one finds an even larger variety of knick-knacks and tools than his overused satchel - a sword, a dagger, pouches, more trinkets, a small hide pack hanging from the side, and more eggs.
One could only wonder why he needed half of what he kept.

Keph, confused himself, cocked his head and stared at the Empress with a perked brow:
"Has Keph missed something?"
Was he supposed to not ask for anything at all? Ask for more? Ask for something different? Nobles were truly complicated people. He smirked as she stated that he'd get his humble request, but that apparently came with a condition - granted not the most difficult one to perform; a humble request in exchange for his own.
He cautiously made his way closer to the throne, until he was less than a meter away. His finger tapped at his chin, his eyes looking down towards the throne's cushioning - she didn't seem to make much room for him to sit next to her and one definitely could not just tell a story while standing, he would end up just shrugging at his own thought and taking a seat on the ground in front of her.
"Keph lived in a small fishing village in far colder lands than here. He was taught how to hunt and he helped get food so all could eat. He can't complain much - he had food, purpose, and a warm place to sleep. Yet, there was one issue: Keph has Rara and has had Rara for as long as he can remember. Rara did its best to stay hidden, although Keph always knew they were there. Eventually, Rara had to protect Keph and his kinsmen were not happy about what Rara is, so they chased Keph out. He came upon the city simply by luck; he thinks it's been about two years since he's left - he hasn't really been keeping track. So, in summary: Keph is Keph!"
Now being up close to the Empress, he allowed the size of his font to decrease, allowing him to save up valuable parchment and really show off just how quickly and neatly he could write.

Lady Naoki reads quickly but spends several seconds with her chin in her hand, looking from Keph to the parchment, and back. She raises her eyebrows to give Keph an incredulous look as if to say, ‘Really?’
“Keph has given me more questions than answers,” she says, gesturing toward him. “If Keph is Keph, who is Rara?”

Keph wasn't sure why the Empress gave him the look she did, but he didn't bother bothering her about it. He crossed his arms and began tapping at his chin, her question was clearly not something simple to answer. The young man appeared to be doing his best to come up with one and after much deliberation on the topic, he finally appeared to have something: "Rara is Keph's friend - it protects Keph. He has no clue how else to really explain Rara; he has an artistic representation." He reached into his bag, pulling out a single sheet of parchment with a drawing on it: It took Keph a moment to realize he was holding the wrong piece of parchment and quickly stuffed it back into his bag, embarrassment at the mistake visible by his pink tinted cheeks. He quickly pulled out the right sheet, again turning it towards the Empress. The page was completely blank, except for a large blot of ink in its center that looked like it had been made by just spilling a bottle of the liquid onto the parchment.

Watching, The Empress isn’t entirely sure how to interpret Keph’s art, but it sounds—well, looks like, he’s got some manner of “spooky” entity, probably magic, with him. In him. One of such a sort that would have him banished by his people. Suddenly, she’s less comfortable having him so close.
“I see,” she says, slowly nodding. “And you’ve come across Isra by luck. ... What do you think?” she asks, arching one eyebrow. At this point, she’s just trying to learn more about him, but that’s the fun thing about being The Empress: people have to do what you ask them to.

What did he think? What did he think? He wasn't really sure. Keph tapped at his chin for a bit, looking around the throne room, and then towards the windows which looked upon Isra.
"Keph isn't used to cities, but he can't say Isra doesn't constantly have interesting things going on - he, however, doesn't like how crowded and messy the city can be."

“Hmmh.” The Empress murmurs acknowledgment. The question is one of her favorites; one’s answer often says much about their character. Keph isn’t tripping over himself to compliment Isra, and he isn’t afraid to say he doesn’t like it.
“Now that you have lodging here at The Citadel, what are you going to do?”

Keph's face momentarily beamed, he clapped his hands together twice, before putting pencil to paper!
"This place seems like one of the most interesting in Isra, so he wants to wander around and see all it has! He's only seen the Enclave before."
The Enclave, during Keph's short visit, had definitely impressed him with its splendour and the huge display of magical oddities - if that was but part of the Citadel, he could only imagine what else this place contained.
