Today it is announced that the Holy Empire of Scythirus has formed an alliance with the Holy Empire of Dictatorship n Strife. DnS aided Scythirus in the defense of its nation against many others. The war torn city of Jihamed—capital of Scythirus—which had suffered several suicide bombings is slowly being rebuilt. The Palace, being partially ruined, is currently unhospitable, so Emperor Krildahd Voramix currently resides within one of his many mansions owned throughout the city.

Two of Krildahd's daughters, Hilan and Jirali, were lost in the suicide bombing that destroyed the Palace. His wife, infant son and heir, and his eldest daughter remain alive, having been out of the Palace at the time of the bombing, and are now staying with him in the lavishly designed mansion.

To celebrate Scythirus' new alliance with Dictatorship n Strife, Emperor Kildahd Voramix has invited DnS' Emperor to a great banquet, as well as any other national leader that wishes to join the occasion.

*A young man similar in height and build to Emperor MacEochagáinl enters with a small entourage*

“Emperor Krildahd Voramix I presume. That is to say that you are the real Emperor, not just a spokes person or official. We have never met I am Prince Liam MacEochagáinl, my Father, the Emperor is unable to attend. He has been ill since He decided to lead our army personally in defence of your nation, He must have caught an unfamiliar virus”

*one member of the entourage takes a sample of several of the food items and places them in a chemical analyser. A yellow light comes on the display. The Prince looks discerned for a moment before the light goes out, replaced a blue light. The aide nods and gives the Prince an injection*

“I’m sorry about how this must look but I can not risk exposing myself to any harmful foreign viruses. This is a T-Cell booster; it’s designed to boost immunity for a limited amount of time, there are of course some side effects but this dosage should give me 8 hours worth of protection against all most all known harmful substances. Let the festivities begin!”


OOC: Firstly, before anyone accuses me of God-modding or future teching we have T-Boosters, its called active inoculation. Secondly I don’t really expect an assassination attempt from Scythirus at this alliance banquet but the Gurian allies might try something although “Emperor Krildahd's a cruel bastard”. Also DnS is a HOLY Empire, hence the capitalisation’s of the Emperors name. Finally Liam is naive in regard to Krildahd’s body doubles but he often meets with officials and representatives for functions like these other than the rulers themselves (the Emperor even sends a PA to Liam’s birthdays).
Is the “eldest daughter” eligible (and fitting for a Prince)?

Emperor Krildahd Voramix nodded to the Prince, "I am indeed the Emperor of Scythirus." He smiled behind his long beard for a moment before he and several servants led Liam and his escort to the dining hall. Then he turned and frowned. "It's unfortunate that your father has grown ill, though. I had been looking forward to meeting him."

He stepped into the dining hall and took a seat at the end of the table beside his wife and daughter. Near the table in a cradle was Krildahd's infant son and heir to the Throne of Scythirus. The seemingly always silent Empress gently rocked the cradle before speaking a word of welcoming to Prince Liam.

Seated along the length of the table were several notable members of the Scythirian government, especially the ever popular Information Minister Milhaud Karrakh.

Servants gathered around a chair and pulled it out for DnS' Prince.

Krildahd spoke again, "Prince Liam... I'd like to introduce you to my wife, the Empress Mihilla Voramix"—a gesture to the woman to his left, rocking the cradle—"my eldest daughter, Amlonai"—a gesture to the woman on his right, who was now watching Liam—"and finally my heir, Prince Hirak-Al." His hand settled to waving at the baby in the cradle.

A Scythirian general leaned close to Liam, whispering not quietly enough, "I think the Princess Amlonai likes you, Prince." Laughter filled the table, causing Amlonai growing scarlet in the cheeks.

OOC: I'll tell you now, this is the real Krildahd. He has better trust for the Middle East than any other. And indeed, the eldest daughter is perfect for a prince.

((OOC: Testing... is this thread still here?))

((Edit-Ah, good it is. Weird.... NS is tripping out on me.))

“It is truly a pleasure to meet you and”, Liam’s gaze rests on Amlonai just a little longer than it should, “your family, it is indeed regretful that my Father is not present, I know he values this alliance. Are not representatives from other nations joining us? We where expecting to forge an further alliances with the friends of Scythirus.” Liam motions to Abelil Pasha the foreign minister “Indeed it is my understanding that Scythirus had some influential nations from the Middle East support them towards the start of the war”

Emperor Krildahd Voramix nodded in admittance. "Yes, our good ally, Abadan. If Sultan Reza arrives, it will be in his own time. Being as busy as he is, it is slightly difficult to receive an immediate response from him." Krildahd shifted, stroking his beard in thought. "As for other leaders, one can never tell.... Sometimes they take the invitation and sometimes they don't."

Abadan congratulates Scythirus, our ally, and the DnS on their new alliance. Long live Jihamed.
