That's a very on the nose way to say that the emperor is a figurehead..

The emperor is kind of a narcissist, isn't he?

The Emperor sure makes for a distracting figurehead!

Emperor cherub. A figurehead is an omen for the boat. I wonder how's the emperor nowadays.

Bye bye Noah!
Oh..hi there Held.

Must be pretty disturbing to see your emperor naked like that.
Though its fititng with the Royal guards style.

Kinda odd how the 'no magic allowed' fascism king deified himself with a magical halo and unnatural wings.
But neither of those things are what I'd call the most eye-catching about that.

Aren't magic users weakened by the sea? Could be a method to get rid of them which seems silly with the whole slit your throats thing.
So probably an isolated island if Cher and the others have been "drafted" which makes sense from the viewpoint of horrible nightmare hellscape.

@Ghost
They are not, the sea doesn't do anything special to magic users. The defense it provides is purely logical - punch a couple holes in their ship with long range artillery, watch them sink and drown, and go home. There are not many magic users that can cross a sea entirely under their own power.

@Melany kinda what I meant just suck at explaining it properly.
Like throwing them into the drink and going see yahh have fun!
But just redundant with the whole sleep knife throat cutting combo the guards have.
:)

@ Ghost & Melany: Page 772 states that the ocean hinders most mages, and is a natural weakness to nearly all mages.
I believe that it has been implied, but not stated, that Magic interacts with seawater in a manner similar to Gold. In other words, direct contact neutralises magic. Ariara, the Pirate Of The Storm, was able to bypass this by magically moving metal to float above the ocean, while most Mage's don't have the ability to fly or can't carry that many other individual's with them as they fly.
