Finally got it right this time
If I recall correctly they did lose like a lot of stuff in that fight. So it’s not like this was easy for them. More so attests to how big they were than anything.
Technically not the Grand Navy, they wouldn’t come into existence until 2 years later. It wasn’t really casual either it took a coalition to take him down. It seems that Astoria was the kingdom that kept custody of him and then became the Grand Navy later.
It’s unclear if it’s like the enitre upper command using them or more just specific corrupt individuals within the Grand Navy. There’s a lot of mystery around the corruption in the Grand Navy. Same sorta deal with Edward being ordered to bombard civilians.
As for who they would’ve sicked the assassins on, I’m running under the assumption that it’s just corrupt individuals using them. Thus I’d say probably any political enemies, people they think might cause them trouble, or people they just straight up don’t like.
The note at blackreach does seem to indicate that most of them agreed to it out of a shared desire for the death of piracy. Now granted that note is from the perspective of a GN soldier, so that might not be the whole story. I’d imagine the more we learn about the GN and their corruption, morals, and motivations we may find that the kingdoms really were intimidated and strong armed into signing those treaties.
I think really this all comes down to curses. As far as I’m aware the AG only had like 5 being Valencia and the Grand Table. Not sure how canon the Grand Table is I’ve only ever heard of it recently and while the first mention I can find was from 2017 which was before AR I’m still not certain how concrete their canonicity is. Regardless though it seems to be a fairly beatable number, though the GN could also just have really good mages as well. That said I’d bet on the GN to have somewhere between 6-10 curse users especially if Keraxe already has 5.
oh yeah the first grand navy bases have very powerful npcs too (kai and amelia) while the ag just has captain baron and uhhh the earth magic vastus which are way weaker
Average forumer lore yap thread 
(although I would’ve expected crusade to be here by now…)
The only two wars I can think of are the Cursebeard War and the One-Shot Pirates v. A.G. And most of the population just go on with their daily lives while these things are happening in the background.
The War Seas has constant conflict; Ravenna v. Winterveil, Sameria v. Keraxe, Ryujin v. Thorne, Thorne v. Ravenna, the Corsairs v. Grand Navy, and the Syndicate stirring up as much chaos as possible on top of that.
Crazy new pfp
So
- It was not casual at all
- It wasn’t even the Grand Navy that arrested him, it was a coalition of multiple factions and kingdoms
According to this image as well, it is implied that Nero was the one who orchestrated the assassination of the Astorian king and queen. Likely by hiring some pirates to kill them for whatever reason.
The opposite actually, the Grand Navy were the ones who agreed to not interfere with the Kingdom’s affairs. The letter clearly lays down that the reason the kingdoms agreed to let the Grand Navy do their thing was because there was a rampant pirate problem that the kingdoms couldn’t be bothered to deal with, their authority is one made from mutual agreeance; not absolute power.
The Grand Navy was treated not as a foreign force, but as a universal solution to a universal problem. If they had the power to make every kingdom fear them, then they wouldn’t have agreed to not interfere in any of their conflicts in the first place.
Of course, this doesn’t mean the GN is weak. By all means they’re likely stronger than any individual kingdom, as they are more of a widespread organization. However, their power is in careful balance and consideration with their environment. It isn’t as something as absurd as the One-Shot Pirates.
yeah liam get your stuff right you dumbass
i hope that storm only has one bolt of lightning that only kilsl you directly
this is very disingenuous, both of these conflicts are literally the LARGEST since the Olympean War, and have casualties so far ahead of any War Seas conflict it’s weird to think you would consider thorne vs ravenna even close
And yes, EVERYBODY is affected. May I mind you that ALL OF AA (and by proxxy AO) literally starts because Argestes, an AG Admiral throws a tornado at a OSP ship, and the tornado continues to fly though several seas?
Literally everybody is affected. It’s a Hyper-war that starts centuries before AA and continues until nearly the entire cluster has died.
not funny kid. i fought in the finno-korean hyperwar, this is NOT a laughing matter
i think their called the WAR seas for a reason…
yeah its the sea where wars last 1 second, get mediated then nothing ever happens 
i will take this honor with humility and admiration for those who got me here
thank you all, im honored that i would be considered for such an illusive and venerable title…
im shinji and raz you’ll be my asuka (
