The War of the Imperial Succession

[Aerandariel]

@Jam: First, I was only taking a first stab at a RL comparison considering the timing of the first firearms, the Industrial Revolution and the spread of industrialization from West Brigidna to the Near East and beyond.

Second, it's probably geopolitical. Think for a second: Arreat is more war-like, so it wouldn't make a lot of sense to back them considering an Arreatian emperor could easily turn around and war with either Mestra or Carpathia at any turn. Virginium is more economically inclined, so from a financial standpoint, the Virginium Consortium might have been better. All the Legion wants to do is restore order and not address anyone's concerns, and Aiuria seems to be the one in the middle.

@Mestra: The faction that honestly would be the one where our alliance treaty stands is with the Imperial Legion. Remember, they control the Imperial City of Cathedrium and the economic heart of the Empire in Westmarch City. They also have the largest army and navy, so a blockade of the Angirisian Empire as a whole would be quite difficult to accomplish unless of course you aim your blockade at one faction over another. I cannot see any other way unless the treaty is abrogated and a new one is negotiated.
