The modern highly codified form of an embassy is indeed modern but (I'm willing to be corrected by any ancient historians here) the ancient Greek embassies could involve a delegation living in a foreign city for quite long periods. They probably did not have the full legal protections of a modern embassy but nor were they subject to the vagaries of the local laws and leadership.
Whether they fit anyone's idea of what might be fun to add to a game is entirely up to them. I would not worry too much about how it fits with Heortling or Praxian culture because Pavic culture is distinctively different to both.
