Ambassador

Ambassadors are hand picked by the queen, herself, as representatives to the neighboring factions. They have the best interest of the kingdom in heart. There are four Ambassadors in total; two sent to the Alliance, while the other two go to the Empire.

Overview
Ambassadors are the official representatives of the Holy Kingdom, hand picked by the queen to act in her place. They are required to integrate with their chosen kingdom, and get close to the leader. They are not spies, as they hold no militant background for the most part, nor as they trained in the art of stealth and disguise. But they are expected to keep a close eye on the inter workings of the other nations, as well as noting any changes back to the royal family.

More often than not, an ambassador will spend months away from home, and maybe even years at a time. In their absence they are expected to communicate back with the royal family to the best of their abilities. Communication is a key part of this job, and if they fail to do so, it could resort with them being stripped of the title.

Ambassadors are expected to be quick thinking and light on their feet. They are required to be able to work well under stressful situations while acting with a clear head. As they are a representative of both the royal family and the Holy Kingdom, they are require to act with their best interests at heart. When they can not get a direct response from the queen, they are allowed to make their own decisions; including international matters such as war and treaties. Though it's highly encouraged to wait for the queen's say before declaring war.

Becoming an Ambassador
Adrastea values those who can handle themselves, especially when so far away from home.

Age isn't something that sways their view on who can and can't be an Ambassador, though those who have lived a longer life are more likely to receive the rank. The queen, herself, normally selects who will be the next ambassador, picking them from the higher ranking noble houses. After all, it is expected of a noble to be calm and collected, as well as being well-mannered. Trust is a big factor when choosing an Ambassador. If a noble house has a history of being untrustworthy and a little shady, the queen will ignore the house all together. Even if they have made improvements over the years.

New ambassadors will receive some training before being sent to their post. Depending on where they go, they may receive different training compared to others. But once at their post, there is no one to help them. They are expected to be able to handle things to the best of their abilities.
