The Grand Architect is looking around at the architecture around the Tayr's palace, though while they're doing so, they're also looking for other leaders to chat with- and perhaps ally with.
Maja and Khassahd seem to be doing similar, admiring the architecture of the hall.
"Beautiful, aren't they?" They say to them, hovering in front of one of the stone columns of the hallway. "These columns, I mean- though of course, all of this palace is exquisitely designed. It would be arrogance beyond arrogance for me to say otherwise. I just think the pillars are a nice metaphor, in a way. Each could stand alone, yes, and it'd still be a masterful work of art. With multiple, though, they can hold up a cieling. A grand hall. An entire palace. Each contributes to something greater they couldn't bear the weight of alone. A masterpiece built upon masterpieces."

Nikorev, ambassador to the Autarch, manages to simultaneously wander and purposefully move in the Grand Architect’s direction. “Forgive me.. but I have never seen your like before. Would it be too much to ask to be introduced?”
The enigmatic orb 'turns' to face them. "You are forgiven." They respond in a happy tone. "I am the Grand Architect of New Gladereach and, soon, the empire of New Mehriketh. A pleasure to make your acquaintance."

<Can we can have multiple of the same Important building?>
*yep!*
<And if I invest in 5 Great fields..? (when I increase my settlement size, that is)>
*well, you… certainly can! That’d be a fast way to grow an empire. I might have to put a limit of like, 2 of each building or something, Y’know, to prevent instant growth.*
*for platy*
<Well, Arch ended up changing that rule. eventually. I didn't know if it had been officially a rule, so I kept doing it, but stopped once Arch made it official.>

“A peaceful empire, I hope. The pleasure is shared between us both, I think. I am Nikorev, ambassador to the Autarch of Vonstradt, accomplished diplomat and scholar, and student of the martial discipline.. in a purely recreational sense, I might add.” Nikorev curls their powerful tail around one leg and considers for a moment. “Not to spoil an introduction with too much business, but this gathering is purely political, in my assumption… what can Vonstradt do for New Gladereach, Grand Architect?”

"I could be better, of course. Lots of talk of war... on me. It is truly unfortunate. You seem to be one of the few who actually don't mind me being wealthy." He nods to Arpo.
"I mean, Arpo loves it. He'd probably pick a fight with everyone in this room if he could. I know this is a rather abrupt change in conversation, but might I ask... why are you an orb?"
“Unless it was poisoned, or utterly disgusting, of course.” They let out a hissing laugh. “This way.” The crocodilian leads Rakshahd to barely twenty metres from the bank, to what turns out to be a false front of a house - curved in its construction so anyone stood behind it is invisible from the river, but has full field of vision upstream and downstream. From the biped-shaped hole in the ground, it looks like the crocodilian had.. buried themself in the dirt, next to a small clay pot turned upside down presumably over a cooking fire. They grab it and flip it over quickly, revealing a hearty-looking meal of numerous tuber-like vegetables and indeterminate meat, all surrounded by a viscous brown sauce. A gust of hot, thoroughly spiced air wafts into Rakshahd’s face, and the crocodilian offers him a wooden ladle halfway between a spoon and a bowl in size, with a small spout presumably to sip from. “Help yourself.”
“Ah, but my friend even then I would eat it as to be polite.” Rakshahd says with a smile, following them over to the building. As he smells the soup, his tail begins to sway a little, a pleased purring sound coming from the tiger’s throat. He gives his thanks then takes a sip, a rather large sip, sighing in relief. “Warm.. mm.. by any chance, do your people carry peppers and similar spices?” He asks, almost excitedly.
“And had I served you the salted carcass of a scorpion, tail and all? What then?” The crocodilian seems content without food for the time being. “We spice our food extensively - it lacks naturally strong flavours, you see, what with our diet being made up of tubers, rice and.. well, perhaps best to leave our more refined dishes to your imagination. At least until you’ve finished eating. What food are you accustomed do, back in your home?”
