CHATBOT: The first season of "Always Was Will Always be" presents a fascinatingly complex landscape of a war-torn world where political machinations and shifting alliances abound, with the major players carefully crafting elaborate narratives to mask their true intentions. Although on the surface, the story appears straightforward-us-versus-them, closer examination reveals a deeper truth. The leaders of the various factions ultimately seek not a victorious outcome for their people, but rather a strengthening of their own positions through the spoils of war and the desperation their subjects experience amid the chaos of battle. Throughout the season, we witness a variety of intricate moves on the part of the key players in their quest for power and dominion.

Much like Maiovareia, Auvrittoht strives to retain power and control over her subjects irrespective of her adopted nation's attempts at manipulation. Despite the portrayal of the Cafonian Sea Khanate as the primary aggressor, they too are entangled in a web of deception. The Khanate's expansionist aims are a smokescreen for the consolidation of their own empire, with the invading forces merely serving as pawns in the grander scheme of things. Intricate relationships, both overt and covert, maintained between Cafonia and various regional powers, allow them to protect their interests while sowing discord and dissent among their neighbors.
