In Ar’s Station, an Ambassador (or Legate) is a protected entity under the "Laws of the Home Stone," but they are also viewed with intense suspicion. These documents ensure that a visiting dignitary has the legal right to traverse the city, speak for their own Home Stone, and—most importantly—is granted immunity from local harassment unless they commit treason.
