Corrupt Admirals

Those who command our ships in battle or are sent to explore lands to be claimed by the our ruler should be chosen from the bravest and wisest in our navy. This is not the case today. From their very first day on a ship, sailors see money illicitly changing hands and protocol being broken as a matter of course, and quickly learn that both the letter and the spirit of the law carry little weight in our nation when silver is put on the other pan of the scales.\n\nThose who do not learn quickly make enemies. To advance through the ranks of the our navy, you need to learn to play this system, and those who rise to the top are rarely those we wished would be there.
