[Hider=The Emperor][img]https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/92/6f/da/926fda1d4cbdcc2bb0c1547cf28e008f.jpg[/img][/hider] The Emperor of Volnath, Rurn, sighed as he put down the last typewritten page. He was sore, but that was no longer a surprise or even a strange feeling to him. What was important was that he had gotten the letters out to the various nations of note to invite to the World's Fair. With any luck, they would all respond with yes and it would be a rousing success, the start of an annual international event. If not, it would be a failure and a humiliation to the Empire. Not that they were unfamiliar with the concept of humiliation in the last decade. He carefully folded the Etresna letter, gathered a few more designs from his desk, and headed out of his study. The two Dragon's Claws fell into step behind him, a constant presence he was entirely used to. "Now, Gur," he began, looking over his shoulder at the Orc on his left. "when we're in Etresna you can't be distracted by the beautiful women there. They'll never let me live it down if you're nearly seduced twice in one week." The Orc blushed beneath his tattoos, protesting. "M-my Emperor I told you in the repor-" Rurn laughed, waving a hand at the floundering bodyguard. "Yes yes my boy. I know. I believe you don't worry. But we must hurry, we have an airship to catch and another nation to visit, despite you and your bretheren's displeased looks you give me whenever I do this." The Claws made no comment, simply following him to his destination. More of them fell into step behind him until there was a 100 of them filing onto the airship. In a few moments they were off and headed to Etresna.
