The Kingdom of Darein Riey Opens Her Borders to Foreign Embassies

Darein Riey
14-12-2005, 06:32
In the interest of promoting relations between itself and other nations, Darein Riey has decided to open its borders to receive embassies from other nations. Attached you will find a formalized brochure, written by His Royal Highness Evin Ardos and the Lady Natalya Vesro, as well as a map of the region.

-- Attachment:

Darein Riey- as a portion of the seven islands of the region of Evendar-, has been protected by a barrier of magic that seperated it from the rest of the world for thousands of years. As a result, the kingdoms of Takriey and Darien Riey have developed in ways vastly different from anything ever seen anywhere else. Most, if not all, of this wildlife has been classified as extremely dangerous, so it is highly reccomended that any visitors to the kingdom come heavily armed. Firearms, however, are not permitted, as they are not something that has been developed. For the purpose of creating ties with other nations, this barrier has finally been dropped.

Magic users are warned, as it is highly likely that the islands' unique configuration will render their powers either weakened or useless. Elemental magics should work as normal.

Darein Riey is comprised of four of the three islands in the region of Evendar. It is ruled by the King Evin Ardos, and the majority relgion is that of the First Church of the Lady Eternity, though no state religion is implied. Darein Riey is best know for it's Torliv trees, which can easily top out redwoods for height once they have reached their mature age, the leaves of which are used to make a genuine Cure-All, and several different alcoholic beverages. The people of Evendar themselves are composed and quiet, and, as a whole, possess the powers of mind-reading. They are, however, limited to a very narrow range, and have difficulty hearing thoughts outside of it.

The borders of the islands are, for the most part, comprised of cliffs and rocks, and, for this reason, it is not reccomended that travel by boat be taken. There is a single airstrip two miles outside the capital city of TetraGaro, which is where the emissaries will be recieved. There is also a helipad located at the airstrip.

The locations of the embassies will vary, but it is stressed that one should choose a location within the city proper, as safety outside it cannot be gaurantied. Buildings will be made from Crystal, which tends to hold a leftover hum from the magic used to create it for decades after. If one is sensitive to such things, more suitable building materials can be found at request. The embassies will consist of one main building and two wings. One for the ambassadors and their staff, and another for visiting tourists. The embassies will be staffed, though emisarries are also welcome to bring a person staff of no more than fifteen (15) people.

Emissaries are also welcome to bring no more than six (6) guards, but firearms will not be permitted. Additional security will be provided in the form of four (4) Mage Guards, supplied by the royal household.

While staying in Darein Riey, it is asked that the following rules are abided by, for one's own personal safty.

- Do not insult the majority religion in the company of the Darien. Also, it is suggested to steer clear of the Lady Eternity's temples. All other portions of the city, including the royal palace, are open to emisarries.
- Intimate physical contact of any sort is frowned upon by Darein Riey's citizens, and while we cannot ask you to avoid it, we do ask that it is kept to a minimum.
- While staying in Darein Riey, we ask that you follow all laws. Exceptions will not be made, and the city Guard will deal with those that disobey accordingly.

Additionally, Darein Riey is interesting in importing the following items:

- Beef and poultry
- Metals
- Grains

Darein Riey offers the following items for export:

- Elemental Crystal
- Precious and semi-precious stones
- Fish
- Magical Artifacts
- Alcohol (Avrige, Renwyr, Sonrin,...)
- Exotic and rare plants and herbs (Torliv leaves, Ausrin products [leaves, berries, and roots], Fenrihr products [nuts, leaves, and roots],...)
- Exotic pets

The people of Darein Riey look forward to building strong ties with our neighboring nations.

To: His Royal Highness, Evin Afriel Eevan Ardos
From: "Mad" Jack O' Bannon, High King of Innish Cadwaladr

An exchange o' embassies an' trade be right wot I be lookin' fer since me return, an' seein' as 'ow that be wot on the table, I'll 'ave ter partake. The only request I'll be makin' to ye is fer a shoreside embassy, as it don't do no Innishman's 'eart no good ter be away from the sea. An o' course, we'll be needin' a port or 'arbor, nothin' fancy, a natural cove'll do nice-like, fer the ship, an' free access to it once they're there.

As fer ambassadors, I'll be sendin' the 'ead o' Clan MacPhearson ter yer fair city, an' o' course 'is immediate kin consistin' o' 'is wife, four sons, and three lovely daughters. His immediate staff'll consist o' nothin' more than one o' me personal Druids fer consultation, a Runemaster ter 'elp wit' the 'igher learnin', a Bard ter 'elp wit' the histories, and a Shide singer to soothe 'is poor soul while it's away from 'is 'omeland, I'm shore yer understand. The guards'll consist o' nothin' more than the six yer command, and'll be armed wit' naught but the standard Innish compliment o' blades: a Claymore, an Innish Longsword, a Dirk, an Innish Dike, an' a Basket-Hilt Claymore fer social events.

Now, as fer trade, don't it be a fair reckonin' that I be exportin' the three things that ye be needin', an' in spades, no less? Though the Innish 'ave no great love fer minin', we do pull out more'n we need a year an' would be 'appy ter trade some o' it off ter ye. Grains, well ye'll be hard pressed ter find a country that produces more o' that than the marshes o' me own Cadwaladr. The only real question is wot kind o' grain do ye be needin'? We 'ave barley, soy, wheat, an' three different kinds o' rice. Poultry ye'll 'ave no trouble findin' either, as we 'ave a large population o' wild foul asides from our domestic breeds. Beef we may not 'ave, but lama does just as good in a pinch, 'specially should ye 'ave an Innishman prepare it for ye. As fer in return, the Innish are a practical people, so we'll be 'avin' no real interest in yer purty baubles, critters, plants, an' stones. Fish, well, ye'll find no better group o' fisherman in any corner o' the world, so we'll be needin' little o' that from ye. 'owever, magic be somethin' the Innish know about an' respect; ye 'ave ter when ye 'ave a nation o' the Shide on yer borders. So perhaps we could swap fer some o' yer artifacts, once ye specify wot some o' them can do, an' we can gladly keep a workin' relationship of mutual 'appiness an' profit.

May ye find nothin' but fair shores an' sunny days,
"Mad" Jack O' Bannon

Sir Jack O'Bannon, the arrangements for your embassy were difficult to arrange, but it has been done. It will be located in the newly founded port-city of KavrinDanra, which is about half a day's travel from the crown city. Because of this, a permenant portal will be set up within the embassy, with access to the town square of TetraGaro. We hope this will meet your approval. Space at the docks has been reserved for your ship, and further details about that will be given upon arrival.

The nation of Darein Riey is interested by your proposal of trade, and I will now attempt to answer your questions to your satisfaction:

For the grains, we are mostly interested in the import of wheat, barley, and soy. We lack the sufficient space to grow these things ourselves. This, also, is the cause for the lack of cattle.

For the exports:

The magical artifacts that we, here in Darein Riey specialize in are Travel Stones (Crystals set with a portal spell. Only good for the one use, but inexpensive.), protection amulets (also Crystal. Highly effective agianst curses and hexes), and various other Crystal peices set with other simple spells. The Crystal itself is a magical object, and is found only on our islands. Naturally, they are imbued with various elemental magics. Very useful for sorcerors and mages.

We hope to hear back from you soon.

May your 'morrows be ever better,
Evin Afriel Eevan Ardos

We, the dominate faction within AFRP, New Mikosolf, would greatly enjoy opening both embassy and trade relations with your nation. We can export two of the three things you like, those being grain and meat products (as well as wonderful imitation meat and grain that has everything a body needs).

We have a few quick questions to ask of you, regarding embassy staff and armament. Since projectile weapons seems to be denied was ask would we be allowed to use crossbows (repeating) as well as flame throwing weapons?

Thank you,
Riey

Your alloy does not break any Darein law. Your Guards are welcome to carry it. The only restriction placed is that on firearms.

Darein Riey will be thrilled to have you. An embassy has been established in the First Sector, about an hour's walk from the palace.
