His Imperial Majesty, the Son of Heaven has spent the fall performing vital sacrifices and prostrating himself to heaven so as to secure the stability and prosperity of the nation. His important role as the Son of Heaven demands that he spends his time within Indrala. Thus, in an expression of fraternal piety, his younger brother, Crown Prince Sun Kai has offered to travel on behalf of the Imperial family. His Imperial Highness has spent the month of November visiting various nations across Majatra to renew Indrala’s friendships abroad. His Imperial Highness was accompanied by Her Imperial Highness, Princess Sun Subin, as well as the Honourable Li Fangzhou, Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs. Below is a brief overview of each trip:


Kalopia (3 November 4349 - 8 November 4349)
In Kalopia, the sun shone on His Imperial Highness as his ship approached the Malah harbour. His Imperial Highness remarked on the beautiful biodiversity of the the southern Al-Najd province, host to Kalopia's agricultural production. His Imperial Majesty disembarked from the vessel, which would sail to the north of the country to rendezvous with His Imperial Highness on the 8th of November. In a display of Jienist respect for agricultural production, His Imperial Majesty visited with local farmers on his way to the capital, impressing many with his horticulturalist knowledge. Upon arrival to the picturesque and landlocked capital of Eleopolis, His Imperial Majesty was received by President Musa Kongoli in an official State Dinner reception. The Crown Prince offered the President a bag of rice grown at the Royal Family’s property in Huzheng County. While His Imperial Majesty departed for the northern historic and coastal metropolis of Helios, Deputy Minister Li Fangzhou met with her counterparts in the Kalopian government to discuss expanding trade opportunities between the two nations. Deputy Minister Li remained in Kalopia for negotiations until she flew to Jelbania to meet up with the Imperial travelling party.

Jelbania (10 November 4349 - 20 November 4349)
His Imperial Highness’s ship arrived in Sedrijokaiàktaghe, Jelbania early in the morning and was greeted by nearly two hundred well wishers. His Imperial Highness moved inland until he met with the mighty Baofluz River, which he traced on horseback until his arrival in the capital city. His Imperial Highness and his party were warmly received by His Exalted Highness, H'an Manil at the magnificent Purple Palace. In observance of the Jelbic and Indralan shared love for horseback sport, His Imperial Highness presented the H’an with a prized Indralan stallion. He also gifted the leader a bottle of forest green baijiu liquor from the Province of Min, which the two were said to have consumed together. The H’an and the Crown Prince participated in a traditional Jelbanian wolf hunt the following morning. It is rumoured that Princess Subin and Prince Jebr of Jelbania spent the day in the garden of the Purple Palace. While the Royals were renewing their ancient friendship, government officials including Deputy Minister Li were forging a new bond; the Indrala-Jelbania Comprehensive Free Trade Agreement.

Barmenistan (22 November 4349 - 25 November 4349)
His Imperial Highness arrived in the port city of Séleuefluz, Ufne at nightfall. In the morning, his party embarked on horseback, stopping once more before arriving in the sacred capital city Varishehr, considered a holy site for Terra’s Felinists. His Imperial Highness was received by President Imran Shahrán. His Imperial Highness gifted the President a sack of aged Green tea grown in Shu Province and renowned for its health benefits. His Imperial Highness departed in the morning to meet up with his ship in the coastal city of Qardajar, Murdhe.
