Great Temple complex, Djerb, Empire of TamoraAya Safavid, the head of foreign affairs, invited the ambassador of SICR to the Great Temple complex which was located in the center of the capital. The Great Temple was seen by the Manist faitful as the ground zero of the Manist faith and many Tamorans also considered it the most important building in the Empire, more important than ever the Imperial palace itself.
The meeting would take place in one of the adjacent buildings of the temple, in one of the rooms specially design for important meetings. The building was not part of the temple itself (and therefore not a religious building) and the hosts thought it appropriate to host meetings such as the one Aya Safavid was having. Those unfamiliar with Tamoran ways would perhaps find it weird the chosen venue and would have expected something like the building of the Foreign Office but in Tamora it was seen as something natural and the SICR ambassador having spent time in Djerb would most likely know this.

One of the secretaries greeting the SICR ambassador.
Aya did her best to prepare for the meeting as she always did, especially one with a representative from a such an alien nation as she and many Tamorans perceived SICR. The Tamoran embassy in SICR provided information in regards to the
customs and laws of SICR and many of those Alya found to be extremely weird, especially the one with the rationing of food. It was something she couldn’t really figure out how it worked or why the government did that. There were also things she did appreciate about SICR, like their conservative approach to intimate matters. One thing was clear; they were very different than the Lodjans. And recently, it seemed like anti Rokkenjima sentiments in SICR reached new heights which was something that Djerb thought as it was understandable. Above that, there was also the issue with Sinsu, would SICR really invade their break away provinces or they were just trying to keep the matter alive by causing tension from time to time? No one in Djerb had any idea.
As the Dragonaii ambassador entered the room after being escorted by one of the secretaries, Aya, which was wearing an
abaya dress and hijab, stood up from her chair, approached the ambassador and when the distance was about 6 feet, she made a bow placing her right hand over her heart.
“Greetings Your Excellency, thank you for honoring my invitation. I am Alya Safavid, the Head of Foreign affairs. I don’t believe we had the pleasure of meeting before.”.
She then motioned for the ambassador to take a seat.
“Should you need anything please let me know” she added. Though in this case, “anything” did not involve alcohol.
After the ambassador had a chance to reply and present himself, Alya proceeded with the topic that led Tamora to call for the meeting:
“I am pleased that the Second Imperial Chinese Republic shares the concerns of the Empire in regards to Rokkenjima and their expansionism. While the Second Imperial Chinese Republic is of course correct in saying that the creation of SANE has alleviated many of the security risks posed by Rokkenjima in regards to SICR, I believe they must not be underestimated. They have announced
two new overseas bases, a new military alliance and now they are moving
military assets in your breakaway Southern territories.
One of the reasons why I asked for this meeting is to see if SICR would be willing to exchange information regarding Rokkenjiman navy movements. For our part, the Tamoran military will use both its satellites and its maritime patrol aircraft to monitor the Rokkenjiman fleet. However, the sea is a vast place so having others do the same and sharing that intel helps keep a better track of Rokkenjiman ships.
Would the government of SICR be interested to engage in such an exchange of intel?”
Alya paused giving the ambassador a chance to reply as well as propose other measures should he/she(ooc: I realized that I don’t know if the ambassador is he or a she) want to.
