The Empire was a means of combining two guilds with the a singular purpose. Having felt that purpose achieved I dissolved the Empire, now should by some fluke of nature the church actually becomes a threat you can rest assured that we will once again
put
you back into your place. So yes in a way the church did have a part in the dissolvement of the Empire, your incomptence led to us dissolving it. Very good, next time try to beat us with skill.
