Physical Description: Artemis is a sturdily built woman of medium height, with blonde hair tied back in a professional bun. Clad in a sharp black business suit, with black tie, dress shirt, and gloves, her appearance is utterly unremarkable; save for a single, flawless, purple gem, set on a simple black ribbon, worn choker-style around her throat. Her demeanor is such that she blends seamlessly into the background of any situation when her services are not required.

Artemis observes the proceedings from her spot behind Naoki's chair. How dreadfully emotional. Still, the assembly did eventually reach a decision, even if it did take longer than it should have. Though, she muses, whatever its flaws, it was much better than Gauldin's court - full of stuffy, inbred noblemen who were more concerned about keeping their lands and titles than they were about the issues being discussed.
Naoki did an admirable job navigating through the torrent of emotions, as if she could do any other kind. Her goal was reached, idiocy was averted, and everyone felt largely satisfied with the results, it would seem. Enough action to satisfy those who wanted action, but not enough to be foolhardy, or raise the protests of those who wanted a more defensive strategy, and addressing the pertinent needs. The manipulation came as easily as breathing to that woman.

After waiting an appropriate amount of time, Madame Naoki speaks again, “Alright, great. You all have your instructions, I’m glad we could come to a swift conclusion on this matter. Meeting adjourned. Make sure to be here for the regularly scheduled meeting next week, and be prepared for more emergency meetings if the situation develops unexpectedly. Have a good day, you lot.”
With a firm nod of finality, Madame Naoki dismisses The Assembly. Remaining standing, she begins to gather her belongings, presumably in preparation to depart. Any who might choose to would have the opportunity to approach her during this period, but if none do, she will eventually make her exit.

On a fine Wednesday afternoon, just as the sun is beginning its descent from the apex of its journey across the sky, Madame Naoki makes her way into the Assembly Chamber. Winding her way around the table that dominates the room, she glances up to see that the materials she had requested be delivered have been; a crate of maps and documents sit before her high-backed seat, and a display board rests against the wall.
Though the regularly scheduled Assembly meeting isn’t slated to start for about a half hour yet, Naoki’s work begins now. Taking her seat, she begins to unload the crate’s contents onto the table, and sort through the documents. Today she would be presenting her grand plan for Isra’s economic growth and industry creation, and as ambitious as her strategy is, a number of visual aides would be necessary to properly explain it, to say nothing of her stacks of notes and drafts of legislation to put her plan into place.
After sorting her documents out and arranging them in a rough order of presentation, Madame Naoki turns her attention next to her collection of maps. The geography around Isra will be of the utmost importance to her strategy, and demonstrating which areas she is referring to at the appropriate points in the discussion will be paramount. Unrolling first her final map- with all of her proposed constructions and alterations marked across a nation-wide map, she approaches the display board, stretches the map across it, and pins it in place.
Stepping back, she folds her arms across her chest, and takes a moment simply to consider the map, and the grand strategy it represents. Her brainchild of almost six months now, if this goes as it ought to, Isra's GDP- among other things, will absolutely soar. With all grand plans, the only issues will rise in executing it, and she knows more fully than any other- fitting individuals to do so haven't made themselves known yet. Hence, this meeting. With official Assembly approval, her machinations will be able to enter government sanctioned high gear.
Nodding firmly to herself, Naoki continues about setting up her presentation. Presently, Ministers should begin to arrive in preparation for the meeting.

Tyrus would arrive before anyone else and great the Lady. "Good afternoon Lady Naoki. How go things?"
The Prime Minister didn't take his seat just yet, since he sat on the opposite side from her, he wouldn't be able to converse with her once he was seated.

As the grand doors open, one pointed ear turns to follow his approach, though Madame Naoki’s gaze remains fixed on whatever document she is currently reviewing. After he approaches and makes his greeting, she responds in kind, “Hello, Tyrus. Things go well. I’m preparing my series of industrial development proposals for today’s meeting.”
However, the great doors do not close after allowing Tyrus entry. Instead, another set of feet- a light pattering in stark contrast to the heavy steps of Tyrus’ boots make their way around the other side of the table. A page approaches, and after nodding his head in greeting, places his cargo on the table. A pair of tall glasses, filled very nearly to the rim with water.
But still, Naoki does not look up, so consumed in her work. As it turns out, some of her figures are inconsistent from one page to the next. She supposes that isn’t much of a big deal, the likelihood of anyone noticing the error is slim to none, but at the very least, it would probably be good to figure out which figure is correct. However, she does grace the page with a soft (and perhaps overly breathy), “Thank you,” and gives him a tap with her tail to send him on his way.
Blushing furiously, the page attempts to stammer out some response, before turning abruptly about and making for the door with all due haste, wishing all the while that his pants were not quite so loose.

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.

Striding through the entrance hall of the Assembly, Governor Ryden Greyiron was most surprised when a young page rocketed out the great doors, barrelling into him and, naturally, bouncing off, ending up sprawled on the ground, dazed from colliding with a man dressed in full plate. Ryden crouched down beside the poor youth, speaking quietly to him.
"Son, no matter how hasty you are to escape, keep your eyes up. You could have hit someone else with a much less pleasant disposition."
Ryden took to his feet again, offering his hand to the young boy, and, once he accepted, pulling him standing with minimal effort. He then finished his path into the Assembly Chambers, stopping at the end of the table and smoothly and familiarly moving into a half-waisted bow to Madame Naoki, who stood organising her things at the opposite end under the impressively sized glass window that offered a commanding view of the sweeping plains below. Bringing himself back to upright, he regarded Naoki, Tyrus, and the papers on the table for a brief moment, wondering if this might be the meeting where Tyrus actually did something, before continuing around the sweeping arc that made up the south-east quadrant of the table to take his seat.

“ Mmmmhm. I hope you’re not too attached to the current disorganized and inefficient state of Isra’s industry...” Still focused on the documents before her, Naoki extends one hand out to grasp her cup of water. However, apparently her depth perception isn’t quite all that, when it comes to grabbing things without looking at them. At least, when it comes to not having the things in question spill everywhere. Naoki herself is quick enough to stand and not allow any of the liquid to soil her garments, but not quite quick enough to save her precious documents. All she can do is watch, aghast as her painstakingly ordered sheets of parchment darken and meticulously written letters smear and run together. In a matter of moments, the entire stack is ruined beyond any reasonable hope of recovery. For a moment, she simply stands there, looking. As if staring at them hard enough would undo what has been done. However, an adept observer may notice the slight trickle of blood dripping from her upper lip as she struggles not to cry out in frustration. But there’s nothing to be done. The presentation is ruined, and there isn’t anyone to blame but herself. Leaving the drenched documents there on the table, Naoki moves off to go find something to dry the table with.
After a short while, the Assembly meeting begins on time. Naoki’s documents are nowhere in sight, having been discarded earlier as part of cleaning the table. However, her map display still stands in its place behind her seat, unharmed. After the standard pleasantries of beginning the meeting and checking to ensure that there are no urgently pressing matters to address first, Madame Naoki stands, taking the floor herself to begin the first matter of business. “As some of you who read today’s meeting plan may or may not be aware, I am to give a presentation on my plan I had an hour long presentation prepared for you all today, but in an uncharacteristic display of clumsiness, I seem to have spilled my drink all over my notes, rendering them unfit for anything more than disposal.” “So you’ll be getting the quick, purely oral version.” She punctuates this statement with a totally unrelated sensual licking of her lips, pausing for a moment before continuing, “To get directly to the point, the purpose of my talk today is about making proper use of Isra’s natural resources for the betterment of the city. This…” With a gesture of her other hand, she indicates the display board, which is currently displaying a map. “...is, I hope at least a few of you are competent enough to realize, is a map of The Free Plains, and the areas surrounding it. We’ve got the Norkari mountains up here toward the top, the forested border of The Expanse over there to the right, and so on. I should mention at this point- I’m omitting the Norkari and the small villages and such. Their finances are not my concern. This area here, highlighted in blue… This is a rough approximation of where we farm things. Mostly in the large open fields to the south and west of the city, near to the river. We’ve got a few artificial canals down here, that’s all fine enough. We’re using a few techniques taught to us by the Land Tillers a while back to farm more efficiently, but not very well, and not consistently. Some farmers are unaware, or are not applying the techniques properly.” “I have two plans in relation to farming that should be fairly non-conscientious. First and foremost, in an upcoming summit between Isra, The Kingdom of Gauldin and The Land Tillers' State , I plan to suggest that The Land Tillers provide us again with their unmatched knowledge of coaxing the land into supporting life. Updated techniques, a reminder of how to practice the old ones, perhaps even some of their people to assist ours in setting up the requisite infrastructure. I’m going to bargain for whatever I can get, and then attempt to distribute and encourage these advanced techniques as widely as possible across Isra’s farmers. I figure it should go over reasonably well, because increasing their efficiency is congruent with increasing their gross profits.” “Before I get into the second bit, let me first touch for a moment on the lumber industry. The areas in which Isran loggers primarily do their logging are displayed here in green. As you can see, the majority of lumber comes from up north, logging the forest that sits at the foot of the Norkari Mountains. The lumber is hauled south down this road, and into Isra.” “Now, there’s nothing wrong with that, per say. However, it is grossly inefficient. Look right here, look to the west. Look at the enormous forest that sits right across the river, that we aren’t making use of. The primary reason this is the case is a mostly practical one. Consider, for a moment, your average lumberjack. What equipment does he have? An axe. Sure, that’s implied. Probably has a few axes, speaking realistically. And then, presumably, a cart, on which to load the logs and haul them back to Isra. And then, perhaps some patterned shirts, or whatever else lumberjacks have. I haven’t looked too far into the matter, to be honest.” “But notably, not a boat. That’s what I was getting at. The majority of lumberjacks do not own ferries. And as such, all of these trees over here…” she gestures to the woods to the east, on the opposite side of the Silverion River, “...are inaccessible to them. They could charter some independent ferry to take them across and haul their logs back, or invest in their own ferry to do it themselves, sure, and a few do, but that’s not the path of least resistance. The path of least resistance is to spend three hours each morning trudging all the way up to the mountains, logging there, and then another three hours trudging back. The same is true, to a more limited extent, of the farming. There are many more farms established on this side of the river than the other, because it’s much easier.” “As it stands, there are only a paltry handful of private bridges. None of them in particularly excellent locations, or both wide and strong enough to support the transport of substantial throughputs of goods. Most of them are tolled by their owners, as well. As such, I propose the following. The construction of a grand bridge, large enough to alleviate these issues of efficiency we face. Large enough to be incorporated into the eastern roads, large enough to allow the transport of lumber across it without issue, large enough to open up the entire eastern/southern side of the Silverion River for development and use. Objections?”

Unlike the last meeting, where Governor Ryden was upstanding and argumentative, he listened thoughtfully and considerately to the proposal, and saw no reason to be contrary. He had had a chance to learn more about Isra and the geography, and considering that, it seemed to be sensible. Barring a few concerns, everything seemed in order. Seeing as how no ministers decided to vocalise their opinions, he took the lead, speaking with his familiar deep tones from his seat.
"This plan seems commendably sensible, considering how greatly it will enable the industry of Isra. As long as enough of this new income is diverted to the Judiciary Department to aid us in our investigations, and protecting this new contstruction, I see no reason why it should not be gone ahead with as soon as possible."
He nodded to Naoki, registering his approval. There would be no objections from him. He also wanted to move this part of the meeting along - he had a most important issue he wished to address as soon as possible.

“Excellent. Next thing are the mines…” Over the course of the next hour, Madame Naoki continues to go on about her plans for renovating Isra’s industrial sector, and proposes a new plan to create a navy, complete with proposed port locations. No complaints are raised, and Naoki promises that all of the plans will be implemented just as soon as she can. Considering how long that all took, one would shudder to think of the meeting duration of her notes had been intact. “Oh. And earlier today, I was approached by Lord Crovan of House Winter. We came to something of an agreement about his Winterlands to the northeast becoming a part of Isra. I’ll pass the details about that around now. So we’ll be joined by him or his representative at the next meeting. That concludes the items I had to bring to the table for now.” With that said, Naoki passes around an official-looking document that details the arrangement reached between the pair in regards to Lord Crovan and his lands joining Isra. If any objections are raised with that, Naoki will stand to address them, but if not, another minister may take the floor.

Standing, Ryden prepared to deliver his matters before any other minister was given the chance. His voice rang out across the chamber once more, as his eyes moved slowly between those of his contemporaries across the table. "My fellow ministers, for those of you who I have not yet had the privilege of meeting, my name is Ryden Greyiron, and I have been duly appointed as the Judiciary Governor of Isra by Lady Naoki." A brief nod in her direction to acknowledge her was all that was given - Ryden had an energy and style that required constant engagement with his audience. He did not necessarily find it a privilege to meet the lethargic, sapping slobs who made up the majority of the Assembly, but if he wanted their support, had no choice but to play to their sympathies. "The reason my appointment was so hasty was because of a disturbing prospect, one that I soon sadly found to be real and readily apparent. The Isran guard force was rife with corruption and bribery, perpetrated by an as-of-yet unknown organisation. Even more alarming, though, was the prospective thought that the rampant corruption ran high into the ranks - the captains, the commanders. In my thorough investigations of the hierarchy, it also led to me unearthing some interesting pieces of information about a certain member of the Assembly." This statement here was very calculated - Ryden watched each of the other ministers to see who blanched at the prospect of a secret being discovered. He would be having... discussions with those men later. "Indeed, I discovered some most disturbing things about the past of one of our foremost leaders. In the process of my investigations, I found that our Prime Minister has no history dating back further than the foundation of Isra. While this alone is not cause for concern, the fact that I was undertaking a general corruption investigation led me to further look into this, and so I assigned one of the finest men on my taskforce, Inspector Deathforge, to probe into the past of the good Prime Minister, and he ascertained this." Ryden held up a sheaf of paper, tied together with 'Sephiran Investigation' scrawled on the front. "This here is a signed affidavit that swears truthful the past of Tyrus Sephiran , and it contains some most terrifying things, chiefly among them being the fact that he was employed by the government of his homeland as a professional assassin. You did hear me right, everybody - our Prime Minister was a murderer, hired by the state to kill political targets. And this, ladies and gentlemen, forms the very base of the motion I wish to bring to the table today - I move no confidence in the Prime Minister of Isra, Tyrus Sephiran." Waiting for the shock and clamour from his announcement to die down, Ryden turned to the left, staring directly into the eyes of the Prime Minister as he continued to speak, his words clear and confident above the hushed conversation that filled the room. "And while, ministers, I cannot say that the reason for this is because he is a murderer, for he has not been convicted, I will not say that it did not have any influence on my charge. In practise, though, I lay this argument on three bases - at the first, he is simply ineffective, at the second, he is incompetent, and at the third, even if we disregard the first two, there are still simply better alternatives." "As much as I hate to speak poorly of the good Minister, he is quite simply ineffective. He does not contribute in a major way to the Assembly, the government, the bureaucracy, or the administrative functions of Isra, nor does he contribute to diplomacy or any foreign affairs. For someone who should be crucially important and vocal in our society, and in our politics, we simply don't hear from him. He resides in his estate and rests on his laurels, all the while the rest of us work hard to make up for the vacuum he leaves in the government. His unwillingness to do his job means that nobody else can, and seeing as this far he has been decidedly committed to proceeding the same way he has thus far, I think it is unreasonable for him to continue to take up this vital spot in our government." "To add to that fact, every sliver of interaction I have seen of him thus far has rendered him in my eyes, and most hopefully in all of yours, incompetent. At the last Assembly meeting we held, an emergency sitting, he stood and endorsed a foolish proposal designed by the High General. When I accosted the Prime Minister about it, then gave an alternative plan, Tyrus back-pedalled on his words, leapt onto my ship and then tried to pass my plan off as his own! It only serves further to prove that his gross incompetence is preventing him from fulfilling his job to the high standard it must be." "Finally, and perhaps most crucially, there are simply better people to do the job. I look around this great round table and I see many faces who could easily stand in the place of Tyrus and excel where he has not. I am aware of Tyrus' involved history with the city, yes, but that should be no reason to give him special treatment, especially when his time here has not actually benefited him, or us, in any way superior to that of any other. Ministers, as much as I appreciate how difficult the role Tyrus plays in the government is, the simple matter of fact is that I have no confidence in his ability to lead this nation as a Prime Minister, especially considering that there are others who could do it considerably better." Ryden stood tall and proud for a moment more, gazing around the room to look at each of the ministers who sat at the round table, trying to gauge their reactions, before taking his seat as he continued his raking stare.

Inspector Deathforge, allowed into the Assembly once Ryden began speaking, made his way quietly to the back of the Assembly, not far from where Tyrus sat. He would be on hand to react appropriately should Tyrus make any violent movements. The only acknowledgement he gave was to Artemis, who would likely understand the purpose of his presence.

Many ministers had something to say, some spoke of the possibilities of Ryden's investigation, others were in outrage at this insult to one of their most trusted officials. One minister would even slam his hands against the table and stand up to publicly call Ryden a "lying bastard". Most everyone in the Assembly knew Prime Minister Sephiran throughout his time as a fellow Assembly member. They all got to know his dedication to his work as he tirelessly published his journals of his diplomatic visits, the way they read his writing, they felt he was a man of eloquence and humanity. They did not see him as a murderer, but Ryden's announcement would plant a seed of distrust in the assembly, even some of those who knew Tyrus personally would begin to doubt, but many would stay loyal to him.
Tyrus had maintained a cool composure, even if he had begun to feel comfort he knew someone would try to screw him over eventually. He was not sure where Ryden could have gotten such information, as Tyrus had traveled for nearly a decade to escape his past, but he had gotten it wrong. Tyrus was not about to give up his position, he had worked too hard to get this far and would be damned if this new Justice Governor was the cause of his political downfall.
"Quiet down everyone, there's no need for harsh words. I commend the governor in doing his job, but his accusations upon me are false and I shall deny them. This meeting was under the topic of industrial development, but it appears I must now defend my reputation. You began your supposed investigation under the guise of rooting out corruption, but your investment in trying to dig up dirt on me has been a waste. I have been a civil servant of this city since it's beginning and the people know me as an honest man. To accuse me of being a cutthroat is akin to calling the Grand General a baker, though I do not actually know his baking talents this is just a metaphor. I've operated for years as minister of foreign affairs and have cultivated fine relationships with each nation I've visited, and I had the pleasure of calling our former Lord Ildesias Xen Torsal my friend and colleague, his trust in me was for good reason as I was his right hand man. If he were here himself he would vouch for me, but he is not so I will have to rely on the good word of everyone else."
Tyrus looked around at all of the fine men he's worked with for almost half a decade, he had become acquainted with most of them and many had voted for him in the election. As expected a large portion of the ministers nodded or said something in agreement, he'd continue after that brief moment. "These men and women know me, including Lady Naoki as we were both senior cabinet members together for almost two years before her election where she defeated me in political battle. Despite my loss I supported her election and I even had her over for dinner that same night where I got to know her a little better and met her lovely daughter Skarlet. I was not a assassin as you claim, but a soldier in my old life, as were many of us here, we killed for our nation and there's no shame in that. I chose to leave that life behind when I came to the free plains and witnessed the raising of this citadel, I like many others saw the Free City as a chance at new beginnings; And so I got mine, replacing my sword with a quill and I have worked tirelessly in each role I have been placed in. Your slander toward me on how I'm supposedly incompetent and don't do my job is questionable as is the source of your information sir, for if you really had someone spying on me they would see that I, in fact go so far as to bring my work home with me even and give up the late hours of the night to examine proposed laws and policies with scrutiny making sure every t is crossed and each i dotted, every legislation goes by me before even being considered by Lady Naoki. I haven't even taken the time to start a family because all of my time is dedicated to my career."
Tyrus gave Ryden a look of disgust, he had thought this new justice minister, or governor as it's called now, was a decent man upon his previous meetings of him, but apparently he was wrong. "Your delivery of misinformation is either a testament to the failure of your spy ring, for if they were truly observing me they would tell you all of this, or you are purposely leaving out the truth while you tell your lies in an attempt to slander my name that I've made for myself these past four years serving Isra with my unwavering loyalty! For you and your spies to produce falsifications instead of actual results in your search for corruption, it is not only an offense to my pride but an offense to those who put you in your position! I do my duty for Isra, and I would expect the same from anyone else."
The Prime Minister was finished with his defense. Everyone knew he had always delivered in his duty and he had never shown that his loyalty was to anywhere besides Isra and it's Lord/Lady. He combed back a stray lock of hair that had freed itself from his ponytail and seated himself once more. "If we're done with petty politicking, I believe our Lady has a vastly more productive issue to present."

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 Greyiron took to his feet again, gazing around the table at the ministers who did, and did not support him, before leading into his second torrent of logical thinking.
"Prime Minister Sephiran, the Lady of Isra has finished her business for the day - something which I spoke the consensus for seeing as nobody else would. I believe that the serious allegations and the motion of no confidence that has been laid before the Assembly are in fact the most important issue we face currently. I'm afraid you cannot get rid of them with a single speech."
A few murmurs of agreement floated in from around the table - nobody was prepared to speak out against Tyrus the way they did against Ryden, but he would soon change that. He turned back to the rest of the Assembly from where he had been addressing Tyrus specifically.
"Ministers, Prime Minister Sephiran slanders me by accusing me of falsifying reports. I am the judiciary governor - quite literally an officer of the law. I have better things to do with my time than creating fanciful documents in order to convict one of our leaders, such as rooting out corruption, which is actually my job. Why, then, would I send one of my top investigative agents on a wild goose chase to make up said fanciful documents, when he could be performing a more reasonable, useful job? The simple answer is thus - I wouldn't. Which will draw you all to the logical conclusion that these reports are not falsified, and therefore completely true. I have multiple signed affidavits from the sir's homeland, swearing that he served as an assassin for the government, that I will make available to you all for perusal at your leisure. The short and simple truth of it is thus. He was an assassin, he killed people for money, and he did it on behalf of his government. Prime Minister Sephiran is right, though - I do do my duty to Isra, and part of it is this motion. We cannot allow ruinous, negligent figures to hold power in our country."
Ryden paused briefly, his eyes flickering down to the documents that lay in his are of the table. The next points he had to address were scrawled across the right line, leaving him with a clear and logical flow of the argument he had to undertake.
"Ministers, the Prime Minister would have the motion of no confidence tossed aside because of his baseless degradation of my other charges, which we have already conclusively proven to be true. This, of course, is wrong, because as I said at the very beginning, his past forms only a facet of the reason I believe he should be removed from his position. I shall revisit those three points for you, summed up as briefly as possible - ineffectiveness, incompetence, and the existence of superior replacements. He has attempted to brush off the latter two by only addressing the first, something which I find treacherous and manipulative tot he extreme, and something that I hope you all bear in mind as we further listen to his excuses." Ryden looked around the table, hoping that he had further sowed some uncertainty as to Tyrus' integrity. "Never have I at any point had somebody spying on the Prime Minister. That is something I will state with utter honesty. Yes, I have had a Inspector Deathforge investigate his history, but nobody has staked out his house, or any such nonsense like that. Still, ladies and gentlemen, I find it very hard to believe his claim of him needing to take work home or, heavens forbid, give up some of his 'late hours' to examine proposed policies, laws and legislation. No policy or legislation I have ever instituted has ever been passed through his hands, even though, if he had only asked, I would have happily gave them to him for perusal. In fact, I don't believe he would ever add to the scant amount of work he does during the day to his night hours, let alone crossing every 't' and dotting every 'i', and if his job in Isra only amounts to crossing 't's and dotting 'i's, well, it's little wonder I call him incompetent, if that is in fact all he manages to do. We do not need an overglorified punctuation examiner as our Prime Minister."
Ryden managed to get a chuckle from a few members of the Assembly with that statement - they were beginning to warm up to him and his argument, and little wonder, considering that they were based on sense and reason.
"The Prime Minister speaks about all of his foreign affairs experience, and yet what trade deals or agreements has he ever brokered? None to my knowledge, and certainly none to written Isran history. It took our Lady, Naoki, only one visit to Gauldin to secure an informal alliance and a trade deal! Again, I find myself coming back to those two key reasons I established - ineffectiveness and incompetence, two values which I have demonstrated in Tyrus consistently. Perhaps last in this bout of statements from me, I personally find it dishonourable that the Prime Minister should bring Lord Ildesias into this argument. After all, he resigned because of fatigue. Why was Tyrus not undertaking this massive workload then in order to take some stress of the back of our great founder? Why was he left in a position where he had to stand down of fatigue, a most mundane cause? Perhaps, if the better alternatives I have spoken about were present then, Lord Ildesias would not have reached a state of tire in which he was forced to depart from leading the city he created, because he would not have been so stressed and overworked! Ladies and gentlemen, quite simply, Prime Minister Sephiran is incompetent, ineffective and overshadowed by superior alternatives, not to mention a government-hired contract killer. It's time for him to stand down, or be stood down."
These strong statements from Ryden proved to be much more popular amongst the Ministers of the Assembly, especially the point about Lord Ildesias. As he went to take his seat again, he received a smattering of applause from some members of the table.

"Again, all of your statements are wrong. I was never an assassin, I was a soldier. You speak about negligence but I've been nothing but diligent. You come of as simply ignorant to everything I have done for the country. You say about trade deals and agreements I've brokered to not existing, when I have actually brokered many a deal which has lead to our city's prosperity."
It was true that Tyrus had always worked hard at whatever he had done and that his actions have been a key figure in the diplomatic relations of many nations which made Ryden's accusations make no sense at all. He went on to talk about all of the following:
He was one who brokered peace and trade deals with every neighboring nation and even to those as far away as Iveria and Aaedan. Anyone who's lived in Isra the past 4-5 years would know all of this. All of what Ryden said was nothing but contrary to what the truth was. Tyrus had even brokered deals between other nations, when Land Tiller's State attacked Goraia, Tyrus was there to broker the ceasefire between the two nations. First contact with Aaedan and all trade following, peace with the Norkari and annexation of their territory, opening relations with Sactum Imperium Ivelius with lasting non-aggression and trade of exotic goods, friendship with the Land Tiller's State, continued trade with the Kingdom of Medan up until the point of Goraia's rising where all trade was cut and the nation went into isolation, First Contact with Belrow and following relations, Initial friendship with The Phoenix Imperium until they started getting shifty and Isra had to mobilize for defense. Tyrus would bring up all of these things and there was proof of all of his actions through publications and still existing relations with other nations which he keeps contact with.
Tyrus was far from incompetent, far from ineffective, and he was the greatest candidate to continue being Prime Minister. The only minister that had more support than him was Naoki by a close margin, only she ever stood to be his political rival and she already occupies the only office higher than his own. The accusations against Tyrus were nothing but falsifications materialized to slander Tyrus' good name.

"Good ministers, I'll get back to the Prime Minister's endless denial of his crimes at the end of my next piece by calling the lead Inspector in the investigation to speak before us as a witness, but in the mean time, allow me to address the misleading pieces of information that Prime Minister Sephiran has attempted to convince you are true."
Ryden's gaze raked the room again, lingering longer on Tyrus and Naoki than anyone else. Once he finished looking around, he began to speak again, in a strong, strident tone.
"The Prime Minister has made such extravagant claims here today I can scant believe he stands before you straight-faced. Not only has he lied to you about his services, but he has invented a country to support his case! Our former minister of foreign affairs created countries that he supposedly interacted with, and yet we trust him to rule us? Iveria is not, was not, and has never been a country in the lifespan of Isra! So how exactly could he have brokered peace and created trade deals with them? I charge you to consider that, ministers. Not only that, but the official historical records of Isra, from which all of my information comes from, makes no mention of Prime Minister Sephiran's presence in the Land Tillers'-Goraia conflict, and if he had truly played as important of a role as he claims to have done, then surely, it would have been written down, as a footnote at least. The records also show no evidence of Tyrus acting in the Norkari Mountains, rather proposing that it was entirely Lord Ildesias' fine work there. He only received diplomats from the desert state of Belrow on orders of Lady Naoki - he showed no initiative here in taking these actions for himself, rather requiring instructions from our Lady. And finally, to speak of an international summit which was not public knowledge, well, that is shocking, but I have not been informed that he would be doing anything there like overseeing it."
Ryden stood before the Assembly, his eyes bright as he looked around the audience of the table, before bringing his final blow.
"The Prime Minister is quite simply a liar. He has been lying to all of you, and to this city, about his actions now and in the past. To testify to the case of his background and history, and to swear that these affidavits detailing his assassin past were extracted willingly, lawfully, and honestly, I would call Inspector Deathforge of the Isran Judiciary Department to speak before you."
Ryden remained standing, allowing Deathforge to walk around to Ryden's seat at the table. Once the Inspector reached that point, the Governor would step out of the way, allowing the lycanthrope to take his place at the table.

Deathforge stood, making his way carefully to the indicated position. He was by far the largest being in the room, and it wouldn't be any effort for every member of the Assembly to see him. He spoke in a calm, logical tone that betrayed no emotion, for he was just an Inspector doing his job.
"I would like to first remind the Assembly that my testimony does not bear any relation to the charges of inadequacy, and deal solely with the background of our Prime Minister. Under orders from Governor Greyiron, I embarked on the journey to the Prime Minister's home country. I travelled quickly, getting there in under a week. My first stop was to talk with the leadership of the country, who were gracious enough to grant me an audience. It was there I obtained the testimonies indicating that he had fled from there, though they were unusually tight-lipped as to why, they were able to reveal that he had in fact been an assassin during his time there, and that was the primary reason for him being chased out. I also spoke to the family members of several of his targets who were able to confirm that their family member had been assassinated, and the assassinations all bore the same signs as one another, a clear indicator that the same person was responsible."

From her high seat at the rear of the room, Madame Naoki follows the proceedings closely, ears swiveling to follow the conversation. This wasn’t quite what she was expecting out of the day’s meeting, but Ryden raises a number of good points. So does Tyrus, of course, but the motion has already been set forth, so there’s not too much that can be done at this point besides finish the conversation and hold the vote. She decides, once the pair of them are finished with accusations and defense, she’ll stand and organize the vote. Until then, she looks toward Tyrus. He presumably has something more to argue.

"I did not invent any country, you'd have to be living under a rock if you didn't know about the Sanctum Imperium Ivelius and how people were worried they were going to start a world war. I WAS there at the Goraian border and in the Norkari mountains, I remember it being recorded in fact, as I was there to see it put in the records and I have a copy myself. When meeting the people of Belrow I met with them well before either of you did and it was of my own design, not by instruction from another. The amount of ignorance you display is baffling, but I suppose since your new around here you don't quite have your bearings yet, so I'll give you the benefit of the doubt." He then addresses the Inspector, "You say it took you less than a week to reach my homeland, but I was traveling for 10 years from my country of origin, which you haven't even said the name of, which leads me to believe you don't actually know where I'm from. Whatever information you did get, is not of me. There are a few things pointing to that information not correlating to me. First is the distance as I mentioned before, I'm from another continent which by swiftest sea vessel that can survive vast oceans would take 5 months to travel to. Second, I changed my name when I changed continents to something easier to say in the common language here. I do hold a record of my old name and where I was born, including my military record. Third, as I was traveling for a decade, my appearance changed a lot, my hair used to be shorter and I hadn't grown out my facial hair until about... 3 years into my journey. So this information on an assassin, it's not me, I was never an assassin. I have proof of everything I'm saying which I could present to you, Inspector. I am not one to impede the law, I will fully cooperate with you to get this sorted out, for as soon as you find that it is not me, the sooner you can continue the investigation to find who it actually is. My homeland even has a mage tower which we could attempt to reach to request information to show that my documents are legitimate. One of Andraste Ruana 's talented mages may be able to make that contact. " Tyrus would end by saying this, "Everyone, I deny these claims, I've always done my job, but perhaps I need to shine a little more to be noticed, I hope to continue doing an even better job as your Prime Minister and show everyone why you chose me."

Rising from her seat, Madame Naoki preempts any response from Ryden or Deathforge. Speaking clearly, her gaze flickers from Ryden sitting off to her left, and Tyrus in his seat across the great circular table. “I hate to interrupt, but you two are just going in circles. We’ve all got things to do today, so unless there are any objections, let’s just go ahead and bring this to a vote. Ryden Greyiron has called a vote of no confidence in Prime Minister Tyrus Sephiran. We’ll start with that.” Without any further ado or waiting to see if any objections are raised, Madame Naoki cuts the argument short to begin the process of the vote. Any citizen of Isra who would choose to vote should send their vote in a direct message to The Isran Empire .
