Hmm. I'll bite.

A beacon they seek to spread across the world, even if their neighbors may not fully appreciate the true value of the Light just yet. All will come to know the glory of the Light, or face its burning wrath if they deny it. Nation Notes * Gunpowder weaponry is known but has limited production due to very limited supply of magical blasting powder. The gunmage Order of Black-Wings use flintlock firearms and bullets as conduits for their spells, but the majority of Valkyries prefer to use traditional spells and arrows instead of unpredictable blasting powder which the alchemy guilds keep under tight grips. No cannons or serious effort to introduce muskets en masse. * Connection between the Empire and Celestial Realm is limited. The Valkyries can communicate with the higher realms and allow additional Valkyries to come to this world only infrequently. Attempts to improve the conduits between the Midrealm and Celestial Realms will be an ongoing issue. * Humans and other races in the Empire's lands are effectively second-class workers and laborers for the Valkyrian Empire. Admittedly well-treated for what amounts to being peons and serfs writ kingdom wide, but most middle-class and all upper-class positions are held by Valkyries under their "divine" rule.
