This week: the naval power, Ariselle.
As the most dominant naval power on the continent, Ariselle’s influence and trade pervades the civilized world. Though her army is typically small, the island realm is protected from invasion by its mighty fleet, and with it, can strike an offensive blow anywhere at any time. Abroad, Ariselle pursues a “balance of power” foreign policy that opposes the rise of any dominant continental power, thereby maintaining its own position of isolated supremacy. Most Realms would like to ally with Ariselle, though are frustrated by its lack of true commitment.
Special Features
• North Head is Ariselle’s main naval base. It is fortified against naval attack, and features a Landmark called the Shipbuilder’s Quay.
• Braddock is the main trading harbor of Ariselle, though it does maintain smaller dockyards for the navy, and is the site of naval exhibitions when rulers come to visit.
• Ariselle quietly maintains a “gentleman’s agreement” with the pirates of the Azure Isles. Though Ariselle publicly condemns piracy on the high seas, the two realms carefully avoid hostile engagements.
