Diplomatic Immunity: Three on the Boat

"It happens everywhere, I'm afraid...Not just the Empire. The Empire is noble, for the most part, but there are just bad elements within it, and those bad elements can really cause problems..."

Tiberius Lucius Magnus, Male Praetor Warmage

[SBLOCK]“Oh I don’t doubt that at all certain people always want others eliminated, quite frankly I’m expecting to go that way myself if I continue with my plans. It seems though that the bad element in the empire has a stranglehold on the power, and that’s not the worst of it as a lot of the detestable conduct comes from indifference rather than pure malice.”[/SBLOCK]

"Well, I think the Archons aren't really the ones that are corrupt, although you may be right about their indifference. It's mostly Male High Praetors who seem to be the abusive ones...I think they are just still bitter even after all this time at the loss of supremacy to the Archons..."

Kallithyia: Palmaid/Female (Amazon)

RA: [sblock]“Oh, yes, I would imagine that to be true, Aspasia,” Kallithyia replied quietly, “what does Vynerys teach about someone have more than one true and pure love, like a nymph and her sisters, is it possible or is it simply not possible?” [/sblock]

Tiberius Lucius Magnus, Male Praetor Warmage

Rystil
[SBLOCK]“Oh I wasn’t even talking about the Archons, I was just commenting on the things I’ve heard since boarding this ship. Though if the Archons are truly in power they’re just as guilty as the ones whom they allow to perpetrate these acts.”

OOC: Feel free to explain topics you bring up, as Tiberius won’t ask as I assume he already knows (even if I don’t).[/SBLOCK]

"Vynerys teaches that true love is bountiful and endless. There is always enough love for all of your loved ones."

"Well, the Archons can only do so much, I guess...There are far fewer Archons than there are male High Praetors."

(OOC: The Praetorians were originally a patriarchy ruled by the male patricians, until the Archons, a new genetic variant of 'superior' women began to appear in a period correspondant with the Rise of the New Gods. Now, the Archons rule, although the Male High Praetors are still predominant over the Female High Praetors, leading to a progression that looks something like Archon->High Praetor(m)->High Praetor(f)->Low Praetor(m)->Low Praetor(f)->slave->Pleb)

Kallithyia: Palmaid/Female (Amazon)

RA: [sblock]“Interesting,” Kallithyia replied with an arched leaf green eyebrow, “do all Praetorians accept this belief? Is having more than one husband or wife common?” [/sblock]

[SBLOCK=Kalli]
"Well...I have actually having this talk earlier with Tiberius. You see, Junia, the goddess of marriage, is one of the Old Gods, and she has differing opinions to Vynerys. But the new gods are in ascendance, and many people can see the happiness that Vynerys brings to them."

Tiberius Lucius Magnus, Male Praetor Warmage

Rystil
[SBLOCK]“Surely, but the Archons could institute laws and such to curb the depredations if they wished...if they can’t do that when they have the power and resources then they truly are powerless and nothing actually changed. What most concerns me though are the cases like Lavinia’s or Kallithyia's...”

OOC: Well I'm going to bed now, so post for me at your leisure, and enjoy your Quizbowl. [/SBLOCK]
