Official Imperial Diplomatic Message to the Yallakian Government



Our two Empires share a vast border...and control the majority of the Mediterranican continent...we share the same views politically on an international, regional and internal level...

In the past few years our two great nations have become strong allies...with increased trade...military and political agreements...However I believe this bond can and should be strengthened further...

I propose the formation of a commonwealth between our two great empires...and Invite you to the Imperial Palace to discuss and hammer out the foundations for this great union...

Tharo Sinakus
Crowned Emperor of the Imperial Kingdom of Gataway

‘A commonwealth?’ High Councillor Sollonaal repeated the words again as he sat down in the Council chambers, quite shocked at the message he had just been informed of. The Empire was used to dishing out political proposals and offering protectorate status to nations of value or significance but to date only once before had another nation come to the Empire looking for some sort of arrangement. ‘Are you sure that’s what it says?’

‘Yes, it still says what it did ten seconds ago,’ the Lady Saroir replied sliding the message from the Emperor of Gataway across the polished council table.

Sollonaal picked it up and glanced over it. ‘hmh, so it does. Is he going?’

‘He already left. The planes scheduled to depart any minute now. He asked that you send an acceptance to Gataway when you arrived… so that would be now.

‘Yes, I got that,’ Sollonaal snarled even as he got back up again. He’d have to think of some horrible revenge to get Saroir back he though as he left the room, he always made sure nobody got a free laugh at his expense.

The Infinite Empire of Yallak
Official Imperial Transmission

To: Tharo Sinakus, Crowned Emperor of the Imperial Kingdom of Gataway
From: The High Council of Arrandin

It is the view of the Imperial Government that Gataway had indeed earned the respect and friendship of the Infinite Empire of Yallak. His Imperial Highness, Lord Balor is pleased to accept your invitation and is preparing to depart for Gataway even now to further discuss the formation of this commonwealth.

Signed
Lord Sollonaal, Supreme Magistrate of Yallak

OOC: There we go. Sorry about the delay.

ooc:No worries I didn't intend for this to be a face paced rp type deal...and i will have plenty of time to finish it up before I leave...IC post to come shortly

Official Imperial Transmission

The Imperial Government is pleased to hear this response and is taking the necessary precautions to ensure Emperor Balor's safety in light of the recent terrorist attacks occurring in the region.

Emperor Sinakus' own airstrip at Zypha Air force base has been secured for the arrival of Emperor Balor and several escort parties have been dispatched in order to provide safe passage for Balor to the Imperial palace.

We await his arrival with great anticipation

The twin-engine plane descended down through the meager cloud cover to a lower altitude as it approached ever closer to the designated Gatawan landing strip. The intertwined dragons of the golden Imperial insignia emblazoned upon the fuselage and wings of craft shone brightly as it reflected the strong sunlight contrasting nicely with an otherwise black and white colour scheme and marking the plane as none other than the Imperial households private jet. Flanking the jet were two ASF-37 ‘Slaven’ fighters from the Yallakian Air Force, also painted black and white.

Within the jet, the Emperor and Lord Solban sat casually with some refreshments as they awaited the end of a long flight. For being neighbouring nations there was still some few thousand kilometres between the Yallakian Capital and Gataway and it had taken a significant amount of time to make the trip. It was almost over though. The fasten seat belt lights flashed on and the two Imperial officials could feel the plane beginning its final decent. Very soon they would touch down at Emperor Sinakus' own airstrip.

OOC: You can just assume they’ve landed and exited if you want for your next post.

Zypha Air Force Base

As Emperor Balor's plane finally came to a stop at the tarmac a convoy pulled up a few yards away consisting of several Diamondback MPFV's bearing the Had Jemzi crest and Imperial House crest along with several civilian type escort vehicles.

Between two of the fighting vehicles was a sleek jet black limousine, specially decorated with the Yallakian Imperial insignia on its doors and small Yallakian flags mounted on its hood.

Exiting several of the escort vehicles men wearing ceremonial dress uniforms from the days of old lined a black golden etched carpet extending from the plane to the limousine. Along one side of the lavish walkway the ceremonial guardsmen carried flags of the Imperial Kingdom and flags bearing the Imperial House crest on the other side in similar fashion the men carried flags of the Yallakian Empire and Yallakian Imperial insignia.

As the plane's door opened and the stairs descended the Yallakian national anthem was played out over the bases loudspeaker system and a group of men dressed in military combat uniforms and others in civilian suits approached the descending stairs.

A taller man wearing a black and gold military uniform bearing the Imperial House crest on his cap led the others as they knelled upon seeing Emperor Balor and his entourage.

After a brief pause and an exchange of formal greetings including the presentation of a saber bearing both house crests on opposite sides of its hilt to Emperor Balor the men made their way back towards the awaiting convoy and soon would be en-route towards the Imperial Palace.

ooc: If you want you can backtrack some and comment on things or whatever thats fine..I just didn't feel like waisting time with all the formalities with greetings..and useless talk...and all that mess that usually bogs down diplomatic meeting rp's

OOC: That’s ok, I agree, best to get the whole arriving bit over with quickly.

IC:

The Emperor was actually much happier once they had boarded the awaiting vehicles and were on their way from the airport, he had never been one for formalities or ostentatious spectacles. In his opinion they took far too much time and accomplished so little in return and hence why in his time as Emperor the frequency of such official procedure had practically stopped, replaced by the now typical Yallakian formal greeting, a simple bow or nod of the head.

He had to admit though that his hosts had done a fine job, especially with the saber. Balor had it out, inspecting the craftsmanship as soon as he was in the vehicle. Solban was more content to just take in the view of the country. Though he had been to Gataway once before he had seen little of the nation, save for the meeting room in which the Mediterranican representatives had gathered, he had seen plenty of that room.

Along with the two Yallakian leaders were a pair of Imperial Guardsmen, though they like the two escorting ASF-37’s were more for show than any actual need for protection. Their had always been peace between the Empire and Gataway and in more recent times that had even progressively developed into actual relations with a series of treaties and most importantly some classified arrangements that secured Gataway a position of worth in the eyes of the Imperial Government.

The convoy quickly rolled off the air strip and in onto a military designated road way..the military road way took a more scenic back roads type route although it was a matter of security for taking the slightly longer trip not one decided by sight seeing..Although citizens of Gataway respected and welcomed the Yallakian government due to recent terrorist attacks in another allied state the internal security forces had decided not to take any chances with the Yallakian leaders life

After several hours of travel through all types of terrain from the mountainous and hilly northern country through the plains and forests of the central lands the convoy finally made its way to the outskirts of the capital city...a magnificent sight indeed..

Skyscrapers ascended everywhere like pillars holding up the sky itself..the streets were lined with citizens waving both the Imperial and Yallakian flags and many establishments had decided to fly both kingdoms flags...In fact Emperor Sinakus had declared the day a national holiday...

The convoy slowed as it moved down the city streets getting closer to the destination of the Imperial Palace...MPFV's now slightly flanking the sides of the Limousine from the roaring crowds...as it continued on through the city...

Finally the convoy pulled in through two massive gates making its way towards the entrance of the Imperial Palace...the escorting vehicles were now scaled down...and the MPFV's had broken off..as the convoy made its way through the Imperial forest and gardens fully of an assortment of exotic plants and wildlife both domestic and foreign...again banners representing both states flew over the palace

The Limousine finally came to a halt in front of the palace the sun glistening off the gold plated hand rails and statues that were spread out across the palace courtyard along with an assortment of fountains...the black ivory doors slowly opened as a procession of servants made their way to the doors of the limousine..rolling out a white and gold carpet and sprinkling the walkway with flowers..

One servant opening the door and bowing

"His lordship Sinkaus bids you welcome to his home and hopes that your travel through the Imperial Kingdom went well...if you will follow me the Emperor is awaiting you."

ooc:Kind of have to rp the greetings part here..but they'll be quick and to the point so we can start hammering out all the details over the commonwealth

‘Very well, thankyou,’ the Emperor replied stepping out of the vehicle. Behind him the other three members of the Imperial delegation quickly followed, eager for the chance to finally stretch their legs after a significantly long drive.

‘Lead the way,’ Balor continued. He had visited the Palace once before for discussions about the Mediterranican Union and had no interest in wasting any time now sightseeing outside while there was business that needed to be attended to.


OOC: Just a quick one today cause I'll be going out very soon and have to get ready still.

The servants quickly escorted the Yallakian entourage through the long halls of the palace..line with statues and busts of Emperors and great generals of days long ago...the dim light from the hallway fixtures showed a reflection along the black marble floor...each footstep echoing down the long halls...

Finally the entourage came to a stop in front of two large oaken doors painted black and and bearing the Imperial house crest upon them studded with diamonds emeralds and an assortment of other precious stones...

As the entourage entered the room a large white crescent shaped table was before them...where the two arcs nearly met sat a tall younger well built man dressed in a black robe embroidered with red and white trim...He rose for a moment and bowed before taking his seat again and dismissing his servants with a wave of the hand..

"Welcome Emperor Balor...I hope the trip was not too tiering for you...and I hope we can continue the progress of friendship and peace my father started between our two fine nations."

OOC: Sorry to intrude. Just wanted to wish Gataway good luck with basic training and all that. Hope to see you around.
