Semi-Coercive Imperialist

──────

In the Empire, how great was the standing of Maximilian, a Sentinel knight?

The question itself was wrong.

What should be asked was how far the name Ebenholtz, and the capital behind it, had spread through the Empire.

It began in southern Hermes.

Before Maximilian drilled into the mana stone vein, there had been more than seventy small mining operators in the south.

Four years later, how many remained?

Six.

And all six effectively flew Maximilian's flag.
