Imperial Chancellory

The Imperial Chancellory is the part of the government of the Empire of Trynser that deals with other governments, both foreign and Dominions of the Empire. The Chancellory recieves information on these other governments by direct dealing, talking with other governments, general hearsay, and notably, regular contact with the Citadel. The Chancellory determines foreign policy based on the dictates of the Emperor and the High Court as well as the feedback from the ambassadors and counselors.
There are two branches of the Chancellory, the Home Ministry and the Foreign Ministry. The Home Ministry deals with representing the Imperial Government in the various Dominions of the Empire. Leading representatives to the Dominions are known as High Comissioners for the Kingdoms of Askordia, Garrus, Karninia, Kasteban, Landagar Manebia, and Minadas, the Elven Kingdom of Syran Vale, the Republic of Casterria, the Grand Duchy of Feylurayne, and the Viceroy of Suledaria. Representatives to smaller Dominions are simply known as Comissioners.
For the Foreign Ministry, leaders of the Trynsern diplomatic missions have different titles depending on the value of the mission. There are four ranks of foreign mission. The most prestigious missions are Embassies led by Ambassadors. These are countries like Pengaldia, The Sargan Confederation, Sung Xuo, and on the rare occasions when they are not at war, Zazimar. Lesser missions are led by an Envoy and are called Legations. Missions to minor or distant nations or small city-states are known as Ministries and are led by a Minster Resident. Finally, temporary heads of mission or those assigned to states where the normal head of mission is withdrawn are known as chiefs of affairs.
In both services, the other ranks are as such; chief of mission, with rank given as above; vice-chief of mission (if required), and first secretary through third secretary. Imperial ministries have members attached from outside the Chancellory, from the army or navy, the Mage Corps, the Citadel, and chaplains. These are known as attaché's, though especially in the case of the Citadel they may not be pubically identified as such.
Both Ministries are led by their own ministers who work directly under the Chancellor in the Chancellory Building across the Trynsern Imperial Gardens from the Imperial Palace in Trynser City.

*Lord High Chancellor Marcus Comferic
*Lord Vice-High Chancellor
*Foreign Minister Lord Mordard Limeris
*Home Minister
*Minister of the South Lord Edbert Forsteran
*Minister of the North
