    Default UotI Diplomacy Thread

    Over the preceding years of conflict the powers of Britannia and Ireland have found that they needed neutral grounds on which to negotiate. Although all of them fought for the right of their capital to host the diplomats of the area Castletown slowly became the de facto site by virute of its central location. Even though none of the powers ever actually agreed on its use, all of them eventually found themselves sending their diplomats their.

    At the moment the city is ruled by the Norse, outsiders in the area (though, considering the history of many of the factions, one might argue they are only its most recent set of invaders). Diplomacy takes place in a great hall in the center of the city. Tapestries and Norse heraldry decorate the room, and the long table in its center is always well stocked with food, mead, and beer. At any given moment the hall might be all but empty as the factions of the area prefer more discrete methods of negotiation, or riotous with arguemnts and intense debate as they try to sway their fellows to their side.

    The Norse ambassador, a huge, bearded man dressed more like a soldier than deplomat, wanders in and promptly takes a seat and starts off on a large tankard of mead.

    The English ambassador is a rather tall, lanky fellow with a clean shaven face and a piercing gaze. He has black hair and brown eyes, and his clothes are lavish - red silk with lace and golden embroidery. Three golden lions are woven on the left side of his chest.

    "Ah, the Norwegian diplomat. Well met, i am Sir Thomas, here to speak on behalf of his Majesty Henry III, in God's grace king of England."
