Essence of Spice Trade, Architect of Nexus
"Factors Blue Eyes, Byorn and Norma Jean, Anacreon Thousand Brushstrokes, Deathrose Pot-pourri, chosen of the Lover clad in the raiment of tears, welcome today, to the quay of my city."
"Welcome, as well, Fortifier of Hearts and Bones, chosen of Autochton, Stelsor Bladed Tornado, chosen of Cecelyne, Dreamflower, twilight chosen of the Unconquered Sun, and Bears-Fangs-at-the-Sun, full moon chosen of Luna, the everchanging constant.". That he did not mention Serene Nova, Mordant of Dying Shades, Scurrilous Minx, Nurlissa, chosen of Masks nor the one he knew to be called Flying Eiderdown, chosen of Jupiter was a calculated move.
"As some of you may know, I was chosen, by Tamed Rapids, the Patriarch of River Ports, to hold his own birthplace in trust. In Wun Ja's grace I call this place home, and represent those of Nexus, large and small, to Heaven's terrestrial bureaucracy with an eye to the laws of heaven and earth.
"In Wun Ja's name, I have summoned, and empowered these guardians, with the might of Nexus itself, that your parlay be uninterrupted by no enemy, no fraud and no sorcerer most foul, that only the lack of willingness to agree, be traced to any failure of you to come to an agreement. I have summoned a holy scribe from Yu-Shan as well, to attest to the proceedings."
"In honour of Yu-Shan, and to celebrate the might of the heavens, I, Whispered Nothings, priestess of Luxana , have been summoned from afar, to collate the proceedings, and to prevent secrets from causing misunderstandings.
