Ok for real this time, Grand Navy founding date + reason for its founding + info on Nero

If you didn’t know already the Grand Navy receptionist outright lies to your face and tells you that Astoria became the Grand Navy twenty years ago. Operating under the impression that the GN was formed twenty years ago things like Nero’s arrest and the timeline of Winterveil’s fall and what not were super confusing. Now things make a lot more sense with this date in mind. I’m guessing what the receptionist said was just a typo or something cause it seems like a lot of stuff Tech and Vetex said were both based on the GN being formed 100 years ago.

I brought this mistake to Vetex’s attention and got him to fix it, I’m basically part of the dev team now.

Finally some new info on Nero:

Yeah no more underestimating Nero, bro is quite literally the main reason that the Grand Navy exists. He is straight up responsible for the current state of the War Seas. To that guy who said he was top 5 in the War Seas, I doubted you, I doubted you and I’m sorry.

Lastly for any Phoenix magic fans:

Rare Nero W

Honestly I’m kinda surprised they allowed Ravenna to continue to exist after this. They didn’t even remove Nero’s line from power. Guess they thought they taught them a big enough lesson already?

Probably because if the grand navy went around deposing kings and destroying kingdoms by what they deem too be the greater good, no kingdom would have treaties with them (they’d be like the arcane government)

I mean it was a coalition of kingdoms at the time if they decided to depose Nero’s it wouldn’t be like it would have been Astoria’s call alone.

And the other kingdoms realized it could be them next…after all, genocides seem exceedingly common and it was only a matter of time before one desperate kingdom committed one only to be annihilated by a coalition of kingdoms with the navy at the helm

Okay so this is the reason Vetex put out

By the wording it seems like the Coalition thought the problem was strictly with Nero being a maniac and his line would be more sane. I might be biased cause I really like the lore and story of this world, but I can kinda understand that even if I wouldn’t make the same decision.

i wonder if the rest of ravenna was actually involved or at least glad that nero was arrested because of how much of a monster he was, then again the rest of the family arent much better

Well like you said the rest of the family wasn’t much better. Octavious and Calvus both wanted to continue killing Winterveilians. I’m guessing that Octavious played up his innocence here in order to really make it seem like Nero had just gone insane and he wasn’t involved or shared his sentiments.

octavious and calvus were more secretive about their evil happenings but nero was very public about it so yeah probably

I wonder what pre Nero Ravenna was like

nero founded ravenna so nonexistent

The island bro, it’s not like the island just loaded in once Nero was born along with it’s population

ohhh

uh just wilderness then

imagine its current state with no human geographical features

No natives? Then the ravennans migrated from somewhere else?

ravennates*

also good question, idk

i love crimes against humanity
