Wyranth Ambassadorial Delegation
The Wyranth Ambassadorial Delegation was a group of Wyranth representatives dispatched to Rislandia City during the events chronicled in The Iron Wedding. The delegation arrived under the leadership of the apparent ambassador Andrei Zelezo—who was in fact Ivan, the Iron Emperor himself, disguised by means of a changeling net—and carried with them a marriage proposal directed at Zaira von Monocle.
Description
The delegation conducted itself with conspicuous confidence throughout its time in Rislandia City. Following their audience with Rislandian authorities, the members walked with an air of self-satisfaction: as the text records, "They walked with heads held high and smug grins plastered on their faces." While awaiting Rislandia's formal response to the proposal, the delegation planned to lodge at a local inn.
Known members of the delegation included Ando and Melker, both of whom are listed among the Minor Characters of The Iron Wedding.
Ando
Ando was a member of the Wyranth delegation present in Rislandia City during the events of The Iron Wedding. No further details about his role or rank within the delegation are recorded in the available sources.
Melker
Melker served as a member of the Wyranth delegation alongside Ando. No further details about his role or rank within the delegation are recorded in the available sources.
Role in The Iron Wedding
In The Iron Wedding, the delegation accompanied the disguised Andrei Zelezo to Rislandia City to present a proposal of marriage from Wyranth to Zaira von Monocle. During their audience, the delegation was surrounded by two Rislandian soldiers inside the audience chamber. After the audience concluded, the members departed with evident satisfaction, their demeanor suggesting confidence in the outcome of their mission.
The delegation remained in Rislandia City at a local inn while awaiting Zaira's answer to the proposal. Once her answer was given, the delegation escorted Zaira from the capital.
During a bandit ambush that occurred in the course of these events, a second carriage of the delegation arrived on the scene and drove off the remaining bandits, demonstrating that the group maintained a larger traveling presence beyond those immediately visible.
Affiliation
The delegation operated as an official arm of the Wyranth Empire and was nominally led by the ambassador Andrei Zelezo. Given that Zelezo was Ivan, the Iron Emperor in disguise—achieved through a changeling net—the delegation's true chain of command ran directly to the Wyranth throne.

The activities of the delegation are part of the broader events of The Iron Wedding and intersect with the political relationship between the Wyranth Empire and Rislandia.
