Residenzschloss, Erfurt, Thüringen - Wieserreich
The urban palace that housed the Hersbach dukes of Thuringia long predated the duchy's control over its capital. For over 400 years it serves as the residence of the Thuringian monarchs, though only since 1782 was it actually in the duchy itself; until then, the city of Erfurt remained under the powerful prince-bishopric centred in it. Today, though it served as a Hersbach residence still, it was circumstantially open for meetings of national or international importance.
This was one such occasion. Under high security, Duke Joseph II Ferdinand had agreed to host a meeting between Imperial Chancellor Rudolf Reichsfürst von Schwarzenberg and his Karlovian counterpart Chancellor Jan Beran, mere days after the Karlovian media had published a leaked memo from their country's foreign ministry that could drastically change the Wieserreicher-Karlovian relationship.
The guards present in the city were wearing colourful uniforms, including the ceremonial white and red uniform and shako caps of the Electoral Guard, the similar colours and pickelhaube of the Landespolizei, and the dark blue and white of the Reichspolizei, who also wore their ceremonial pickelhaube as well - Wieserreich's traditional police helmet. The whole city was more colourful than it usually were indeed, as the Wieserreicher and Karlovian chancellors met behind closed doors.
For Schwarzenberg, this was an important meeting. It was not as important as it were for Beran, however the Wieserreicher prince had his own agenda; and that agenda openly involved a rather bold game of thrones to be played, with political support and firm pressure both equally ready for Beran. As he had told his aides a mere hour before the meeting, "today is a day that may mark a new foreign policy for the Reich".
