The Lord mulled over the proposals of the Chancellor. He found it slightly patronizing that the Chancellor should feel the need to explain the structure of the Commonwealth and its leader, but had a suggestion.

"I would like Lainlyn to be elevated within the Commonwealth itself," the Lord said. "Be granted the title of electorship, in exchanged for offering scutage to the Na-Totumba on a permanent basis. A sort of city-state status, if you will." The chancellor nodded as the lord spoke his offer.

"Unfortunately, I'm afraid that despite being the leader of the Commonwealth, the Na-Totambu does not have the authority to come to such a decision independantly. Although I'm sure King Haytham would've granted you your wish if he could, he would have to stage a referendum within the Commonwealth and all our states would have to vote on whether to grant you electorship." The chancellor explained, hoping the Lord would understand. "And, I can almost guarantee they wouldn't vote in favour, not wanting to allow Sentinel an ally who'd give them a larger voice when voting." He sighed sadly, almost as if he was broken up about the whole situation. "You would still maintain your own independence within the Firebird Kingdom, andI assure you King Haytham would only vote within the best interests of his subjects when it comes to manners concering the Commonwelath. That includes your best interests as well, should you choose to voice them to us."
