Now under Sky King Cluligula's rule ( after he went mad)
life tended to be unstable for everyone,mainly because
the huge wyverns ( all appointed Citizens by Cluligula)
were fast flyers capable of carrying heavy loads long
distances.
Hence if the third Sky King wanted to thump his
fist ( figureatively) in some distant outpost
he had the means to do it,
However the more savvy citizens ,such as
Cluul's brother-in-law
Duke Stephen
who just happened to own a piece
of sea side real estate with docks,warehouses,sea walls,etc
got to be friends with the deranged Sky King
either by
a)being a friend of horse pegasi appointed Senators
b)being a enemy of the Sea God Neptune
In Duke Stephens case a rough sea storm had
demolished that
sea wall of his
so when he sent his request for aid to the Sky Castle
he declared that Neptune,had made a armed incursion on the Kingdoms
property but Duke Stephen and his men had bravely held back the
enemy forces by
piling sandbags around the place of battle.
And could His Royal Excellency please send Duke Stephen some additional troops
to bolster up the defenses against the enemy Neptune.
And so Cluul,along with many other Citizens drafted to the cause
found themselves repairing Duke Stephens
seawall free of charge at the time of Azaviel the Wyvern's alleged murder
of some foreign Corrupted Paladin
