After initially demanding Zelvar as the location, the Ryccian Empire has opened an "Imperial Interests Office" in Arvarr. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has stated that the office's purpose shall be to "look out for the protection, safety and interests of any Ryccian citizens in the Zelvar Regime. This is in no way a gesture of friendship towards the Zelvan slavers". In a gesture possibly meant to garner their favour, the Ministry has also stated that Drakari and Stoinian nationals are welcome at the Imperial Interests Office as well, and will advocate for their security as well if need be.
