Ruminations

[Victor Steiner]

The younger man spoke with an accent not unlike his brothers At this point ma'm, the Enclave has retreated and reorganized themselves into a core of fanatical supporters devoted to not only Charles, but the ideals of absolute monarchy. Destabilizing them from within would be exceptionally difficult as the Enclave is highly xenophobic. We are attempting to find their weakest link and exploit it, but from what we can see, the only way to truly destroy them is by military means. Gaia has resources that would allow for a major population increase, but it will take time for them to exploit those resources. Rest assured your majesty, we are doing what we can to collapse the government, but we are hampered by factors outside of our control. The brothers stole a glance at one another, unsettled by Bretonia's situation when put into straight words.
