Sorry for the late reply, I've been quite busy unfortunately! Well you certainly have a multitude of interesting ideas, so I'll go through them. First of all, thanks for liking Erissare's page, she's quite a unique character in my fiction, so the occasions in which she appears in stories is always fun to write. So you're free to use her in the story, just let me know when you're about to start and I'll write some dialogue for her.

As for Carandial, that sounds like a good idea to me, it adds an interesting dynamic to the battle. However, as you later said, Basileus independence would not be on the table for the Empire. It had already been attempted during the New Wars, and in the decade since the war ended, Basileus nationalism has been largely superseded by intense Imperial patriotism, so there'd be no native desire for independence from the Empire. Nevertheless, it's an interesting idea!

I do have a recommendation though. Perhaps before beginning the battle in earnest, you could concentrate on establishing your fiction into Cyrannus by expanding on your pages. My approach would be to first establish characters, ships and worlds prior to introducing them in a story. Nevertheless, it's ultimately up to you. If you need any help in that regard, just let me know.
