The Charisian Empire, given birth to in warfare, has always known it must combat because of its very success. What most of its subjects have no idea nonetheless, however, is how a lot more it's struggling for. Emperor Cayleb, Empress Sharleyan, Merlin Athrawes, and their innermost circle of most trusted advisers can say for certain. And because they actually, they know the charges if they lose will be very good worse than their own fatalities and the damage of all they know and love. For five years, Charis has survived all the Church of God Awaiting and the corrupt men who control it have tossed at the island empire. The price has been high and paid in blood vessels.

How does it prevent that large opponent from rebuilding its fleets and attacking yet again? Charis has no response to those questions, but needs to find one... quickly.
