You decide to join your fellow guests in gossip. They notice you as you approach, giving you a better chance to see them. One is a male Imperial donned in a royal red robe. You deduce that this is Attrebus, considering the overwhelming amount of jewels he has adorned. There is another Imperial clad in the traditional armor of the Penitus Oculatus. Likely the Chancellor's bodyguard. The first woman is in fact a Khajiit. A bit scandalous, but she must have an invitation, else the guards would have removed her by now. Although, she is dressed rather well, but it is obvious she doesn't know the first thing of proper attire. I mean, really, that broach with that dress? The second woman is a beautiful Altmer. This is no doubt Vallina, as, knowing the Fortesias and their disdain for Mer, she is likely only here due to her relation with Count Hassildor. The last guest is a male Redguard. Lhotun was supposed to be a Redguard, but you have no idea what he would look like. Perhaps this is Lhotun, or someone else.

As you are so versed in the ways of civil society, you immediately introduce yourself before they have the chance to ask.

A) Introduce yourself, truthfully, as the Trade Prince of the Iliac Bay. A prestigous title that garners much respect, even in Cyrodiil.

B) Lie, claiming to be a lesser noble. Though it will unlikely earn you the respect of your peers that you deserve, it will be a passable lie and likely keep your true identity a secret from most.

C) Big lie. Claim to be a different noble of reknown than yourself from High Rock. Though it will allow you both anonymity and respect you deserve, you risk someone at the party knowing who you impersonate and calling you out.

D) Avoid the situation all together. Make an excuse to leave and head toward the manor.
