Envoy

The envoy pair are always a formally paired team of one male and one female, commonly trained directly by their predecessors for several years before they are able to take the position full time.

There is always two official envoys, and their two apprentices.

Rank Duties
Envoys are the messengers to other clans when need arises, taking messages, supplies, or offerings with them. Although not officially aristocrats, they are treated as such by many, as they work directly for the royal couple to relay their interests to outside forces. This could range from negotiating terms with Xacari, escorting merchants, or potentially spying on other clans.

Apprentice
Because being an envoy is exceptionally dangerous, it is important that the envoys train apprentices early. While the apprentices rarely accompany them on these journeys, they are well educated on paths and shortcuts that may be used by their mentors.
