Lords of the East - Council Chambers

[barcamartin]

A man silently enters the room, suspicisouly glaring at the guards and frequently tossing glances behind him. He is short and dressed in unremarkable grey and brown tunics. Overall, he looks like a perfectly ordinary man.

I come here on behalf of Ayyub, governor of the Holy City of Al-Quds and humble servant of Sultan Salah ad-Din of the Ayyubids.

My purpose here is to enquire about the state of this city and it's rulers. Is it true that the tyranny of the Seljuk mongrels has been overthrown? Has the vile creature calling himself a sultan been disposed of? Are opposers to the brute Seljuk invasion once more welcome?

If the answers to all above are yes, I shall send word to my masters and take my place here as the new ambassador of Sultan Salah ad-Din.

Sliding to his right, he places himself near the corner of the room, presumably to have at least two sides safe from any unexpected violence from the council hosts.
