The Wavechosen's smile immediately made the Emira like him, and it was answered with one of her own in kind -- not as sly as the others she usually sent. No, this one was a little more warm, and it was obvious that she had love for @asherah in the way all of her seemed to soften at the news. Fairuz even laughed. "Then I am sure she is keeping Daimyo Akagi Zuikaku on his toes. He seemed like a man who could appreciate the gift she is, and I am glad she is doing so well." Of course, Fairuz expected this answer. She would have been concerned if it had been other wise. Stepping forward, she reached out to lay her hand on the Wavechosen's bicep, turning to walk with him while their retinues fell in behind -- his wreathed in the Agana flower and Priestess' kisses as was tradition of a Sakandi port welcome. "I have gathered items that I would like to bring for the wedding, not only to help Asherah on her special day, but also to gift the Quying people for this alliance. Still, I know so little of your beautiful country. What do you think might impress the Daimyo most?" She turned her head to look up at Chosen of the Wavewarden , "I know that Quying is... unfamiliar... with majic and I wouldn't want to cause any distress to her people." |

Chosen of the Wavewarden
Established
Roleplay posts: 10 
Age: 29
Physical Description: The Chosen of the Wavewarden is seldom seen in public without his full armor on, but he is about 6'1" and 200lbs. His hair is similar in color to the Daimyo's and his eyes are a brilliant green in color.
Clothes and Equipment: He bears full steel armor, shoulders emblazoned with the symbol of House Zuikaku. His katana is maintained to a perfect sheen, the handle wrapped in swamp crocodile skin so that his grip is strong.
Blessed by the Guardian of the Sea herself, he bore no personal banner save for the Rune of the Wavewarden, which pulsated dimly on his chest. Such magic, for magic it was, was allowed as it had been bestowed on him by a Kami, and they were not bound by the laws of mortal man.

"The Daimyo has a great appreciation for history, and historical artifacts. He is not as much focused on art, save for the historical implications."
The Chosen Warriors behind him kept perfect pace with the pair, their lives sworn to the Daimyo's right-hand man. Chosen glanced around him at the various courtiers scattered about the docks.
"Otherwise...discussions on Quying's position on magic should occur privately, and indeed is something I wished to discuss with you." He said, quietly. His own warriors would not speak of such things, but this was not Quying, and he did not know which of the people around him were trusted by the Emira.

Skarlet arrives in Sakand on her personal quest to explore and learn more about the world, by suggestion of the Master Vampire Leviath Bahat. She uses her status as Isran nobility to charter transportation to different places of the known world, though once at the destination she usually explores the region on her own without entourage.
With her parasol and supplies, the lovely yet gloomy princess headed out to gain influence and maybe have some fun.

As the Princess of Isra came upon the ports, a well-dressed man was waiting with a small retinue, and he bowed deeply to Skarlet.
"Welcome to Sakand," he said as he straightened, and gestured. A priestess came forward, beautiful and short yet curvy in the Sakandi way, her skin showing at her navel and one leg as a smile curled her features and she wreathed an agana flower necklace over Skarlet's head. The priestess gently kissed her then, soft lips meeting Skarlet's own before she stepped back and away.
"I hope your journey to Sakand was a peaceful one, Your Highness?" the man spoke as he moved forward then, and gestured for servants to take any baggage she might have brought with her. "My name is Odar, and I am a steward in the Emira's household."

Skarlet is very surprised when she's kissed on the lips, was this custom here? Her face is flush for a moment but she recomposes herself and does her own bow, staying shaded.
"It was, thank you. Please, don't touch that container in particular, I must keep that one close to me." Skarlet stops anyone from getting a hold of her blood supply, but anything else was fine. Her ruby eyes quickly scanned the area before returning them to the man Odar. "I've never been here before, your city and people are beautiful I see. I would love to know more about this place while I'm here. Could I be shown to where I'll be staying?"
How nice of the Emira to send a welcoming party.

Lights sparkled as they floated all around the city and the harbor, people were bustling to and fro as the smell of spice and water filled the air. The golden dome of the Temple of the serenity could be seen from this distance, as well as the verdant green of the hanging gardens, and beyond that, the steeple of the cerulean tiles used of the palace. Each rose like their own mountains among the spires and domes of the other buildings of Sakand, its avenues blue with fresh water as traveling by boat was as popular as traveling by foot. Sakand might also notice that there were blue skinned people here, the Maridi led by Emir Alim al-Rashid. There was a feel in the air of celebration as well, as if morale was high and people were even more open and accepting as of late. "Of course," Odar said, gesturing to the servants who left that container alone but loaded all the others onto a carpet. He turned his genial face in Skarlet's direction. "You may stay in the palace if that is your pleasure, or we can secure you the Royal Suite at the Jade Mist, a suite that is used by emissaries to much appeasement and satisfaction, Your Highness." |

"If your Emira wouldn't mind having me as a guest, I have a gift for her as well. What is going on right now, a parade? Why are those people painted blue?" Skarlet had never seen Maridi before so she had no idea what they were. She liked how much water there was here, it was a good safety net for if she ever got in danger, say if she lost her parasol and had no shade. Skarlet wouldn't bring anyone from the boat with her, the crew on the ship would find their own arrangements.

"The Emira would be blessed with your presence, Your Highness," Odar said, and nodded at the servants who loaded the luggage to take it back to the palace and have it arranged in a suite. The carpet lifted and off they went, leaving Odar with his female servants and Skarlet with her parasol.
"Would you like to walk among Sakand, Your Highness, or settle into the palace first?" Odar asked.

"Yes let's go right there." Skarlet picks up her container and gestures for Odar to lead the way. She'd find time to explore once she was set up with her arrangements.

Centurion Analiese Hael
Committed
Roleplay posts: 50
Age: 31
Physical Description: She is slightly above average height for a woman, about 5'10" and weighing a bit more at a 190lbs. She has medium-length platinum blonde hair, and a rather feminine face. It is the stern look in her eye that gives her face its hard edge, accompanied by the numerous bruises and scars that are a result of years of military service. Her figure is relatively slender, compacted with muscle from years of training and a strict nutrition regime.
Clothes and Equipment: Ana wears the traditional armor of an Isran Centurion, complete with the red sash and the Isran sigil on her breast. The armor is fitting to what curves she does have, and, given that the Lady Naoki had a say in the armor, probably accentuates them. She wields her sword, a weapon of no particularly special properties beyond good craftsmanship and having been lovingly maintained by generations of Haels. Her legionnaire's shield completes the image of a stalwart Isran warrior.

Centurion Analiese Hael was the first of her cohort to step off the vessel and onto the Sakandi dock. With Sakand being nominally under Isran control, the Empress had decided that having some sort of military presence would be important, especially as the City had no functional military to speak of, minus the City Guard of course.
Her job was to see to the defense of Isra's latest possession, and for that task she had brought her own cohort, a hundred of Isra's finest warriors to assist her. Not enough to adequately defend the city, but enough to ensure it could hold until reinforcements came.
A half dozen or so transports began docking alongside hers, bringing the rest of her soldiers and their equipment, families, and personal belongings.

There was no one to greet this new Isran party, but for the priestess that seemed to greet everyone. There was no special steward to see to Annaliese, no special servant to help the Israns re-arrange.
Indeed, that the Israns appeared with a hundred men and their families stopped some of those at the Sakandi dock, watching as these foreigners moved about to do as they might.
The Sakandi had already been informed on how the Israns had no intentions of returning the Heart of Sakand. The arrival of the Maridi had been a wonderful occasion for them... But now it seemed like Isra wanted to exercise their might.
And they did it by bringing armed men.
Indeed, the Sakandi people did not want to seem to approach the Israns, watching them with their dark eyes and guarded expressions. It would also seem that flyers were up around Sakand, written in Sakandi, yet with the seal of the Emira upon them.

The ships would serve as temporary homes for the families while a suitable barracks location was determined. Her able staff was already making notes and spreading out to find it. She didn't want her arrival to draw attention either. It would give the wrong impression. She was here to ensure that Sakand could defend itself, and she would do her job effectively, just as she had in Goraia.
"This might be the hardest thing I have ever tried to do. Come on Sergeant, let's go to the palace and see if we can find the Guard Commander."

They were watched wherever Centurion Analiese and her sergeant moved. Everyone seemed to be looking at them, and now that the shock of seeing them had begun to fade, the shock that they'd be there after what had happened caused the Sakandi to whisper among themselves. Gazes roamed what they wore, how they were armed, glancing at what they might have brought, at their ships.
When Analiese came up to the very crowded Port Gate, people went quiet and moved out of the way from them, as if they didn't want to get too close. Conversations went quiet when Analiese and her sergeant came within hearing range, and expressions ranged from curious to amused to displeased to anger.
The Captain of the Port came out to meet with them. "You are.... Eesran, yes," the man said. "That is a lot of men you bring," the Captain said.

"The Goraians dismantled your army did they not? We are here to rebuild it and protect the city. I have no hostile intentions in Sakand, and neither do my men. Would you let us enter the city?"
The Centurion, not only delivering the customary polite Sakandi gestures, spoke in the Sakandi language, albeit with an Isran accent.

Audric VIIIWilhelm and Audric would find themselves being transported to Sakand during their adventure. The Knight Scout kept his horse, Dane, below deck. They were here for work, anything that might increase the Brotherhood's influence and perhaps earn them a bit of coin. Noticing the hot weather Wilhelm would ask Audric "what's the worst place you ever served in, Brother?"

Audric VIII
Established
Hurrah!
Roleplay posts: 28
Age: 24
Physical Description: Of somewhat above average build and height, Audric doesn't have particularly memorable traits. He in general is described as cavalier in appearance, with light eyes and particularly dark hair.
Clothes and Equipment: Audric carries upon him a full set of sanctified plate and chainmail along with a helmet as protection, though he doesn't wear leather underneath with just wrapping instead. He is armed with a bland looking and somewhat short longsword bearing only the mark of his family and of it's blessing along with a knuckled dagger of the same make. His shield is something between a hearer and kite shield, and while carrying the Order's black cross one can see it is painted over the shape of Audric's family crest, an armoured Knight on a pegasus. He has hidden about his person a hand-crossbow that takes massive strength to wind up, allowing it to pack the punch of a big crossbow in a little frame. From it, he shoots an array of either stakes, silver bolts, or simple sanctified ones, potentially poisoned. Finally, arguably his greatest armament is a book of prayers, in which he has hidden coin and... utilities. Other than that he carries little on his travels about his person, preferring to live off the land or bring things on his horse, a quite massive black charger that tows carts alone.

As Audric came off the boat he was holding his helmet in his right hand's fingers through the two eyeslits. His armour was all over the place, his normally impeccable hair was going in every direction and soaked with sweat. His lips and nose were peeling with the entirety of his face red. So far, he wasn't enjoying the experience.
"You know, after coming here it might take some time for me to decide."

"So I'm supposed to take a left here...or...a right?"
Rooibos stepped to the side of the busy streets, rotating her map as she struggled to adjust to her surroundings. A long trip overseas had messed with her perceptions, and given her quite a stomachache as well.
"Okay, okay," she mumbled to herself, oblivious to the confused stares of passerby. "I think I'm supposed to head...this way."
Pointing herself down a busy market street, she began to walk forward, raising her head just slightly to peek over the crowd and search for the inn she'd made reservations at months prior...
