" Ours is an age of discovery and exploration, one where our previously small communities are now becoming aware of foreign nations hundreds, sometimes even thousands of miles away. Our homelands in the north, are only just now becoming aware of tremendously advanced nations far to our east, and south; quite possible, as some would argue, on par with our own. It may be some time before we come into contact with these nations, but we must prepare for the inevitable event. How will these foreigners act towards our kingdom? How must we act when we come into contact with theirs? These questions must be resolved immediately among our leaders before we run into this situation, lest we be caught unprepared. Will we look towards a martial approach to foreigners, and seek to secure our posterity's welfare by destroying and suppressing any threats? Or will we seek an approach based around commerce, so that we may purchase the means of our security? Or perhaps we will look to isolate our selves in an attempts to shut out the harmful and possible corrupting influences of the foreigners? We may very well chose a yet unforeseen course of action. Either way, several truths remain apparent for the coming era: we will be meeting foreign and yet unknown nations, we will determine a course of action against them and this action will either ensure our survival, or our destruction." - Exert from the writings of Steward Gohalying, Yahghil steward to noble house Avakarii, 3rd era 372
