The Federal Assembly
Denil, Florinthus
16 Marth, 1580
It was with little fanfare that the Eastern Kaljuran delegation arrived in the conference halls in Denil. Following the cessation of hostilities with the West, the Easterners had been able to make little time for fanciness. It was a stark contrast to the way the Western delegation was handling itself. While the Easterners were dressed in normal diplomatic garb, a suit and tie, the Western delegation wore full military dress uniforms of dark black littered with medals and ribbons. The Easterners did not want to draw any unwanted attention to themselves whereas the West did. Or so it seemed to the casual observer.
The lead diplomat assigned to represent the Kaljuran Republic had been a hero during the near decade long civil war. Jaak Võsu had earned a reputation for himself leading his company in defense of several small villages on the front line in the south. Before the war though, he had been Deputy Director of Foreign Affairs. It was because of this appointment, and his work during the war, that he had already had the unfortunate privilege of knowing the man who "sat across the aisle" from him. The leader of the Western delegation was Colonel Johannes Orav commanding officer of the Koristaja Battalion, one of the government's execution units. Jaak had had one too many a run in with the Colonel's work, but he put on a steely face and ushered the rest of his delegation to their area. Jaak was confident that he would be able to deal with Orav but he knew that whatever may happen, Orav would be gunning for him.
