The Grand Sanctaphandri Navy
Overview
Server: NA-W
Kingdom: Kingdom of Ashlands
Duchy: Sanctaphandri
Purpose
The Grand Sanctaphandri Navy is at all times at the disposal of Grand Duke Ambrosius Ais Seleucrei. It is the naval power of the Duchy of Sanctaphandri and will always serve as the protector of its inhabitants. This is a formally commissioned by Grand Duke Ambrosius and is in no part a privately run organization.
This is all contingent on domain selection, if by chance the Duchy of Sanctaphandri does not have a coast line then the navy cannot exist.
