There was a reason why, out of every nation, only Zyphran possessed a fully dedicated naval regime.
The Zyphran Dominion was the sole Empire built along the open sea, with its capital and major cities located on the portside coasts. While the other nations battled monsters and demons across the land, Zyphran had an additional threat to contend with.
The Cthulhus.
Where land was plagued by fiends, the ocean belonged to these abyssal creatures.
And so, the Dominion had created a navy not merely to traverse the waters, but to wage constant war upon them. Their fleet was built to withstand storms that could swallow cities, and their soldiers were trained to fight upon ever-changing tides and frozen seas.
Naturally, anyone hearing the story for the first time would think the Emperor who founded the Dominion had been a reckless fool for choosing to build an Empire beside the most dangerous waters in the world.
