HMS High Queen Katherine II of Atmora
Kirishima, Fusoese Empire
7 October 2016
Katherine II, looked out the window as her Fokker C-150 Polaris made its final descent into the Fusou capital of Kirishima. With tensions rising in Halkeginia between Atmora and Vozh and across the Emporic Ocean in Rohane with Aravaea over Ghelen. The High Queen made the decision while the Chancellor and her Warhawks may beat their chests for war with Vozh and Aravea. That is her duty to ensure that Atmora survives any potential conflict with Aravea. Just a month ago the High Queen was in Aellyria meeting with the Aellyrian Emperor of maintaining Atmoran bases in southern Aellyria. Along with making headways to secure Aellyrian neutrality between Aravea and Atmora.
However, it is now the time for the High Queen to turn her attention to the south to the jewel of the Anemoisic, Myria. Katherine is more than smart enough to know that she cannot court the Fusoese and the Aldians to her country's cause against Aravea. For why would Myria care for Northern Emporic affairs when they can remain neutral and collect the tolls from both sides at the Myrian Canal.
That does not mean, though that Katherine II cannot gain favour with Myria in the least, that Atmora is not here to force the hand of Myria. But Atmora comes as a valuable trade partner. Katherine hopes that her and Empress Moerukaze can be close allies in the Anemoisic region.
As the Polaris finally lands at the capital airport, Katherine II looks out the window seeing the Fusoese officials at the tarmac there to welcome her to the Fusoese Empire.
