Sorry, what I meant is why Ravenna, of all nations, decided to mediate a peace between Sameria or Keraxe
This question extends to the Order itself: Why does the Order choose to prevent wars in the War Seas? As Calvus states that the Order is actively keeping the War Seas from falling into chaos. How does keeping order benefit them?
As of right now… I actually cant give a proper explanation. Maybe its what some of the people in this group want to do (as Rill Hendrix would tell you that not everyone in an organization is the same). Maybe its how they resurrected from the brink, by taking advantage of the chaos and provide a way out, allowing their influence to spread amongst the kingdoms.
It might be the latter. Or both.
Ravenna during Calvus’ reign was at its weakest. Its not unreasonable for him to want the closest kingdoms, both of which are more powerful than his kingdom and one is run by a conqueror, to sign a peace treaty that will at least last during his life time so neither of them steamroll Ravenna while its unprepared.
There are possibly order related reasons too and Calvus may have been the only ruler of those three kingdoms that was actually in the order so they just kinda had to go with Ravenna making the treaty. But its possible this is mostly just what Calvus wanted rather than something the order cared about.
Calvus states that the War Seas need the Order to function after mentioning the treaty, so it implies the treaty was also in the Order’s interests
i get the feeling wotan won’t be a boss fight, and instead we’ll fight one of his sons at the end of the vimir sea story- that son might be a high lord that needs killing
yes i’d love to have story in a randomly generated area that we have 0 purpose to go to whatsoever!!1
Yeah, Calvus was left in the worst era for Ravenna, they had the crown thrusted onto a child, they had lost many of their strongest Generals at Cassia Town, and they no longer were the hegemon of the Bronze Sea. If you really think about it, Calvus is a great leader for having restored some form of a Ravennan Power, being “strong” enough (or just close enough to the Order) to have Sameria and Keraxe sign a treaty.
I mean, I’m still a massive believer that the Grand Navy (and the Kingdom that preceded it) are under the control or the Order, and that’s why peace is maintained. I assume the Order made the entire seas sign treaties with the Grand Navy to allow for them to access the best possible candidates, or else I’m not sure nations would be too keen on losing citizens with high potential to greatly serve the nation being kidnapped.

Dude it can just be like the grand line for one piece
errr i have no idea how are we saving a kingdom taking down a government base and fighting the fake god of the sky in the dark sea
we’ve already done most of those though.
we saved Ravenna from the Order, and Frostmill from melting, and Redwake from losing their main food supply, etc. etc.
We’ve taken down something greater than a government base; an entire kingdom.
We’ve not only gone to a sky island, but we’ve also fought various people who have blessings from the Gods (Magics and Curses, with the only semi-Curse user we’ve fought being Calvus, but that’s still someone), which could easily make them seem on a similar power level to a false god.
Yeah we’re literally Luffy.

I don’t see why we wouldn’t go to the equivalent of the grand line tbh
Because theres nothing but death there
I don’t see why you couldn’t make some game mechanics canon like making it so going to the dark sea is a massive risk but successfully doing so could make you like a millionaire
Or as other people have pointed out you could have some regents that could make powerful potions to cure injuries and illnesses
Like look at hunter hunter for example the dark continent is a place there that’s practically suicide to visit but has things like plants that cure diseases and so on

not in the dark sea though

Is this information directly stated in the game, inferred from game content, elaborated on by Vetex('s friends), or gotten somehow else? I’m not very caught up on what the story is supposed to be thus far.
On Blasted rock you can find a journal next to a dead body detailing how Ravenna barely managed to fend off an invading kingdom and ended up losing two generals, one of which with a pretty good curse, as well as Calvus’ father which caused Calvus to take the throne at 15 I believe?
And I believe during the part of the game where you’re in the mines one of the prisoners tells you how early in Ravenna’s history they went to war with Winterveil and they did succeed and took them out, but I’m pretty sure Nero(Calvus’ grandfather) died in a fight with Kessler who is Neviro’s ancestor and former ruler of Winterveil. Not sure if I’m remembering that right, but regardless Nero isn’t around no more and as a result Ravenna no longer has the apocalypse curse which is a pretty bad loss. Not as crippling as the losses at blasted rock, but still not good.
It’d be extremely funny if Wotan somehow turned out to be a good guy that’s just been seeking to destroy tyrannical rulers and Nilah has been puppeteering us around to complete her dirty work for her.
