It very much reads like you are dismissing him.
I wouldn't let him within 100 miles of our Salamander allies if I didn't expect this to work out, and him to be reasonably well-adjusted and diplomatic.
Amrelath is an ornery bastard that sat in a tower-wall for a few millennia. He was prissy about the fact that the book we had him write would be read by regular humans, considering them unworthy. Just now, he called them mayflies.
What are you even arguing against? Or for, for that matter?
Please take down the straw-man. Seriously.
Don't get salty when people automatically like Angels. You guys are doing exactly the same to Amrelath.
Look at what was actually said: he wants to serve under us, in our empire.
You guys are telling him you will allow him the honor of carving a realm in the PoF in our name.
That's all but spitting on his offer.
Look at Relath, once the pecking order is properly established, it's been smooth sailing.
So you guys are voting to throw away powerful, valuable vassal.
Because you don't trust the single most punished Dragon alive to not be a raging asshole, when even as a enternally-tortured undead, he isn't one.
He is smart and has been more than humbled. He has played along with everything we demanded so far.
And you guys don't want to give him a chance to excel during the next years and prove he has what it takes. To rule in our name, under our laws.
I'm arguing that Dragon racism is as bad or worse than angel/devil ones, and that Amy especially proves the exception to the rule, and people are saying "lol can't trust a crazy psychopathic Red".What are you even arguing against? Or for, for that matter?
He was stuck into that tower for millennia with barely any sensory input or any kind of social contact. That he isn't a raving lunatic from the isolation alone is rather impressive, but how you try to shoehorn this into any kind of advantage for him is beyond me.
This is nothing about trust, but about the need to get him outside of a bit and interact with people he actually accepts as people instead of vermin before putting him in charge of anything bigger then a lemonade stand.
And this point in particular. I'm trusting him to be right next to a bunch of rather proud and prickly allies of ours and for him to speak in our name. Would I even contemplate to do this if I considered him a raging asshole by default?
Is the plane of fire not a good place for him?

Fine. Whatever.
Because I want him doing something productive and there is nothing productive for him to do on Planetos. We don't need a full-time beatstick of his size here and he has shown very clearly that sending him on diplomatic missions against humans is a bad idea, not because he is a dragon, but because he is an ornery old coot. His behavior has spoken volumes there. He will get on much better with the Salamanders then, say, Summer Islanders.
That's unlikely to achieve anything except making him grumble when we don't go along with his suggestion.
