Alright, so letting everyone know that I'm still in the game.

ASTA, Werhner, and I to assume that our mutual plotlines are still more or less intact?

Also, I'll need to polish up my NS, but as you can tell so far, the military's mostly done -- it centers around a powerful navy as well as anti-siege defenses on land. The army proper is small and likely equipped mostly with arrows or other light weapons that are useful on the rough terrain found on certain regions of the Empire (especially the borders).
