The Diplomat V.1 : Ancient Mesopotamia

It is ancient Mesopotamia around the year 2500 BCE, and Adab, a modest city-state, has recently come under the control of Kish, the burgeoning hegemonic power of Mesopotamia. Nestled between the fertile Tigris and Euphrates rivers, Adab is now a strategic asset in Kish’s expanding empire. As a lowly diplomat in this nascent phase of dominance, you find yourself at the crossroads of opportunity and uncertainty. In your role, you are uniquely positioned to navigate this complex landscape. Will you forge alliances to solidify Kish’s control while addressing the grievances of Adab’s citizens? Negotiate trade agreements that could benefit both Adab and its powerful patron? Or uncover and resolve the sources of unrest that threaten to destabilize this delicate period of transition? Or perhaps even vie to place yourself on top of the social ladder of Adab, and beyond?
