Business as usual or a political swamp
This was the main question for the esh’lahier politician as he awaited the Regent’s arrival. Although he had met and conversed with governors, consuls, nobles and magnates, but also the most powerful evil wizards and crime lords, Malkaer felt some nervousness for the coming meeting. Finally he would meet the man of whom he had heard and read so much and whose acts, policies and person he had criticized often. The most public instance thereof leading to a very unhappy time in the nobleman’s political career. The influence of that affair would decide the course of the meeting.
The white skinned elf stood in the waiting hall of his offices; receiving the Regent from behind his desk being a grave insult to the man. He was dressed in his regalia with the colours of the city, amongst which the so in esh’lahieri culture so despised gold. But this Aelyrian esh’lahier gladly made this sacrifice of traditional custom. Several bodyguards and servants were also there to greet the Regent, a great privilege.
