Ambassador Saaros

**Ambassador Saaros** is a character from Last Legacy and an ambassador from Rivath visiting Porrima. They first appeared in Chapter 2 of Anisa's original route. In the rewrite for Anisa's route, they first appear in Chapter 1.

In Anisa's original route, they first appeared at the marketplace making a commotion after being swindled. Although Escell Mirun wanted Anisa to act as their bodyguard, he also wanted her to spy on them because of the strained relationship between Porrima and Rivath. This information has since been retconned.

## Rewrite

They first appear in chapter 1 as someone who Anisa is supposed to escort to Porrima. They tease you and Anisa about your burgeoning relationship, and they are constantly reading a journal that they refuse to share. During the journey, they excuse themselves and secretly investigate an altar used by cultists loyal to the Lord of Shadows.

When you and Anisa search for them, you find yourselves trapped in a dungeon. They point out that you've injured your hand, prompting Anisa's concern and a paid scene option for her to patch you up. Afterward, you find the Lord of Shadows’ sigil. The fact that you recognize it surprises Saaros and Anisa. Anisa discreetly cuts her palm and presses her hand to the sigil, unlocking the exit with her blood. This causes Saaros to speculate that she is the Lord of Shadows' daughter.

In Chapter 2, you and Anisa successfully escort them to Porrima. When Anisa asks them why they were at the altar, they share their theory that the Lord of Shadows has returned, upsetting Anisa.

In Chapter 3, you and Anisa attend their meeting with the High Paladin Orion, who mostly ignores all three of you. After noticing the High Paladin's odd behavior, you and Anisa decide to enlist Saaros in your investigation regarding possible cultists in the Sunstone Order. They admit that investigating the cultists was their motivation for arriving in Porrima months ahead of their scheduled trip. They tell you and Anisa to meet them outside the castle, to which they have obtained a key.

In Chapter 4, you investigate the castle and discover cultists criticizing Sunstone Knights for seemingly botching a spell circle. After they leave, you discover that they were preparing for a ritual involving necromancy. Throughout the investigation, Saaros demonstrates a mysterious amount of knowledge about the cultists, including the location of their activities, the lack of traps in the area, and the timing of the guard patrols.

Before you can investigate further, you are caught by Orion, who charges Anisa with insubordination. You, Saaros, and Anisa head to a tavern in dour moods. Anisa confronts Saaros about all of their predictions. At first, they are evasive, but she points out that they have already exposed her secrets and asks why only their boundaries are worth respecting. Seeing her point, they reveal one of Rivath's major secrets: some Rivathi are connected to the Cosmos and can determine the future from them. However, Saaros does not have this ability and was gifted a journal in which they wrote down the prophecies of another elf (later implied to be the Exalted Seer Azimuth). This journal contains every step of the journey thus far, with the exception of your involvement.

In Chapter 5, Orion orders Anisa to escort Saaros out of Porrima. When Anisa asks Saaros for guidance, they admit that the journal's prophecies have run out. Anisa announces she will accompany Saaros to Rivath in search of help with investigating the cultists. They are unconvinced Rivath will provide aid and are wary about bringing outsiders into Rivath, but they eventually agree. They confirm that you will be able to get through Rivath's wards, though they refuse to explain why. They also want to buy their Seer friend a souvenir, but are no longer confident in making decisions now that they can't rely on their journal, prompting a star scene option to help them shop.

At the start of Chapter 6, after weeks of travel, Saaros has arrived in Rivath with you, Anisa, and Ayanna. Saaros explains the many unspoken norms that exist in Rivath. Due to Rivath not being designed with outsiders in mind, Saaros has a difficult time showing you and Anisa around and making sure you follow the rules. When Anisa expresses that she wants to explore Rivath freely, Saaros suggests an art museum, prompting a star scene option. Afterward, Saaros goes to the Observatory to announce their return to the Seers, leaving you and Anisa to find her old home alone.

In Chapter 7, after the Lord of Shadows arrives and traps you and Anisa in an illusion, Ayanna goes to the Seers for help. Saaros and Azimuth accompany her to her old house to rescue you and Anisa. Afterward, Saaros shows great concern for you and Anisa. Azimuth even states that they'd never seen Saaros so upset. At Azimuth's orders, Saaros leaves the house with Ayanna to help strengthen the wards and prevent the Lord of Shadows from returning.
