Your status as an emissary allows you to gain an audience with suitable authorities, dignitaries, or major figures, so long as the subject is not personally hostile toward you. While the subject is not forced to acquiesce to any requests or demands you might make, they will meet with you at the very least. Your role as a representative for your people gives your words a certain amount of sway with authority figures that meet with you. During your discourse with any major figure relevant to your mission, you may make one Deception, History, Insight, Intimidation, Performance or Persuasion skill check with advantage. Failing a skill check you make using this ability may have a lasting negative impact on your relationship with that figure at the GMs discretion.
