Military[]

The island of Khenarthi's Roost is sparecely populated, save for the city of Mistral itself. The scattered settlements and keeps of the island supply levies when called upon, though they are typically only sufficient for minimal defensive battles, and do not fare well on land.

The Xs of Mistral have traditionally maintained a sizable navy to make up for what their forces lack in the field. Seven war galleys are anchored in Mistral's harbour at all times, while eight other gallies are kept among Mistral's vassals, making for a relatively formidable naval opponent without a greater force.

Without Mistral's support, the Dominion will have precious little defense on its southern coasts. But we are not here to conquer anyone.

Razum-dar about the strategic importance of Mistral to the First Aldmeri Dominion

Look around you. What great armies do you see? Our survival depends on knowing when to fight, and when to please. The treaty brought us prosperity for generations. I will not be the one to break it.

—X Harrani Kiohin in the 2E 582 about the prospect of breaking the Treaty of Khenarthi's Roost
