Ok.  Here's what I'm thinking...<br/><br/>Your character works for Prince Mithos, the youngest of the king's three sons.  Being the youngest, he's fairly distant in the line of succession, but still has a significant amount of power and influence.  The king seems unconcerned about Nadesh, but Mithos thinks the city is critical to the kingdom's continued war effort, which is why he sent your character to the city.<br/><br/>Initially, your duties will be to find out if any spies from Tamalir are in the city and what they're up to, find out why Lady Keira suddenly decided to support Tamalir, and help "convince" Lord Belthir to show support for Damascus.
