With the grudging acceptance of Duchess Janali's discoveries by the church as non-heretical, the science institutes of Crenla have hundreds of exploration trips proposed by students and staff monthly. Before an expedition can happen the Empress and House of Ladies must be convinced the expedition is safe and worthy of support or a wealthy House must provide the necessary backing for a private expedition. Regardless of whose backing an expedition, the military will be watching for new technologies and threats to the empire; and the church will be vigilant for voidal activities or influences.
