It is called home by Caesar Anochrim, several nobles, a great many servants, and the members of the Purple Guard.

Jadmai had been nervous the night before. Staying in a rather dodgy inn (something a little more familiar to him) he went over and over what he was to say to the Ceasar once he had his attention. Jadmai had not been this worked up in some yahren, yet his hesistation was trivial, his main concern was that his Imperial Majesty would already have the situation in hand, and the reprecussions of that were nothing. The former ambassador put it off as general nerves of meeting the ruler of the isles.
Dressed in his finest clothes, which weren't all fine, a fancy silver tunic and good pair of leather britches (he did take a bath though, that was special) he made his way for the palace. He had of course heard about the palace, but upon making his way there and finally getting a full look at it, he appreicated the granduer. Such large stone constructs reminded him of home, and Jadmai had a hunch that the inside would as well. This palace would not even be too out of place on the spire of Gulanadur--besides the obvious lack of dark adhiel design.
Arriving a half mark early for his appointment seemed to make sense, Jadmai had no idea of the protocol that went on inside these great walls, in fact, he no idea how to great the Ceasar when he saw him.
Jadmai would make his way inside until someone stopped him and asked his business, at which point, Jadmai would procure from the inside of his cloak the response he got from his little to the Ceasar.
