A new, dangerous era begins with Psmithania's entrance to the global stage. After centuries of perfecting their craft in isolation, Psmithania decides it is time to consolidate its power. The oligarch begins a militarization program, giving psteel to each psmith that crafts extra pswords, pshields, pspears, and psabres for the state. As their weapon horde grows, the country begins a training program for its youth psoldiers, who grow in strength and number. But Psmithania soon runs dangerously low on psteel, and must find a way to acquire more.
