The Verdurian Embassy In Linköping


Governments Speaking to Governments


Formal relations between Verduria and Sweden are conducted through this Embassy in Linköping. If the Swedish Government has a message to convey to His Majesty's Government, it does so via this Embassy.

The form the message takes varies according to the circumstances. In these days of new-fangled magicaly, the most common means by which to communicate are by virtually instantaneous magical transmission, and the magecourier. Before long, we'll probably be using the Celgechë as well.

But one long-standing tradition continues to thrive. It is the so-called Third Person Note, or Brevë Mevlozhise. There is no easy way to explain clearly what these entail. Better to give you an imaginary example:

His Britannic Majesty's Embassy present their compliments to the Ministry for Foreign Affairs of the monarchy of Sweden and have the honour to refer to the larp Högting held in 97.

The Embassy relished the victory of the Verdurian army, and sends its warmest congratulations to the Lifeguard, Generals and all verduri on this happiest occasion.

The Embassy avail themselves of the opportunity to renew to the Ministry for Foreign Affairs the assurance of their highest consideration.

We think you'll agree that this is a different way of communicating! But remember, it does get the message over perfectly well.
