The closest to home, however, are the most impactful. </span></span></span></span></span></span>
</p>

<p style="line-height:1.38;">
	<span style="font-size:13.999999999999998pt;font-variant:normal;white-space:pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="color:#ffffff;"><span style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-style:normal;"><span style="text-decoration:none;">The Court Envoy is tasked with reconciling the festivities and amusements hosted by the crown, and those hosted by it’s vassal territories. To ensure that the schedules of these aforesaid affairs do not conflict and detract from eachother - while securing confidence in a consistent flow of them, is a difficult endeavor, set aside for those of exceptional communication and coordination skills.</span></span></span></span></span></span>

Whether an urgent missive from Royal hands, or a summons to an equally pressing gathering, the Envoy ought to be capable of locating and contacting those necessary for the proper operation of the Diarch’s Court.</span></span></span></span></span></span>

The Rose Court sees fit to send representatives outside of the realm, for the purpose of representing itself to foreign courts. These visits are neither few, nor far between; The Court Envoy will be tasked with displaying Belethian social standards abroad, and if possible, the arrangement of cross-cultural festivities with the courts of friends and allies.</span></span></span></span></span></span>
