Shirekeep Legation of the Benacian Union
The Benacian Union has long recognised the strategic importance of Shirekeep, the capital of the Imperial Republic of Shireroth, in its efforts to expand its sphere of influence. In addition to the Shirekeep Benacian Institute, which was established in 1716 AN to generate leadership cadres for the Imperial Humanist Party of Shireroth, the Union-State also maintains a legation in the city. This legation serves as a hub for diplomatic relations between the Benacian Union and the Imperial Court, as well as the office of the Kaiseress.
The legation is staffed by a team of experienced diplomats, who are tasked with promoting the interests of the Benacian Union in Shirekeep and the surrounding areas. They engage in a wide range of activities, from organising cultural events and conferences, to fostering economic and trade ties between the two allied nations. The legation also plays a key role in providing consular services to subjects of the Union-State living in Shirekeep and the surrounding areas.
Legation building
The Benacian Union's legation in Shirekeep is located in the Cabbagefall division of the city, situated on a large plot of land that is approximately 10 acres in size. The legation building itself is a grand, three-story structure made of red brick and adorned with intricate stonework. The building is surrounded by a high perimeter wall, which serves as both a physical barrier and a defensive measure.
Within the perimeter wall, there are several other structures that are important to the functioning of the legation. The main residency, which serves as the home of the legate and his staff, is a stately building that is located at the center of the property. The residency is surrounded by well-manicured gardens and features a grand entrance hall and several formal reception rooms.
In addition to the main residency, there are several other structures on the property that are used for different purposes. The legation has a large conference hall that is used for meetings and diplomatic events, as well as several smaller meeting rooms that are used for private discussions. There are also several offices and workrooms that are used by the legation staff, as well as a library and research centre that is used to study the political and social landscape of Shireroth.
The legation also has a formal parade ground that is used for military drills and ceremonies, and there is a small armoury that is used to store weapons and other military equipment. Additionally, there are several barracks buildings that are used to house the legation's security personnel, who are responsible for maintaining the safety and security of the legation and its staff.
