Eversun Civil War Nearing A Tipping Point - The Tessen Speaker
Despite the long time the civil war has raged between the two major and several minor factions of the Eversun, most fights had stalled after a few years as each side concentrated forces and materials for decisive pushes into their adversaries' territories and their industrial centers. Even with the significant casualties and collateral damage, the nation took in materials and people, now estimated at around 20-45 million, including civilians; no side has budged from their position as the only rightful inheritor of the Eversun and their will upon Calynth. Yet, nearing the Eclipsed Festival, a holiday of ill omen in the Eversun, a final confrontation is about to begin as armies once more march in the open against each other rather than creep around fortifications and underneath inhabited towns. The cause of this is the reveal of what appear to be recovered airships made functional once more after the news of the discovery of Suspendium in the Forest of Rust made its way down to them. Only time will tell what this will mean for the Empire's security. Yet, they will have a hard time overcoming the already significant progress made by Emperor Elianus toward the creation of a second air fleet.

Second Airfleet Announced By Emperor Elianus - The Truthful Observers
After several years spent recovering, refurbishing, dedicating, and upgrading recovered airships from various Necropoli' within the Empire, Emperor Elianus has announced that the First Fleet, named "Slatnans Shield," is completed and fully ready to begin operations outside of the nation if called to war. In total, the fleet numbers 3 "Diadre" Class Dreadnoughts, 8 "Mariv" Class Destroyers, 15 "Si-Jukim" Class Hunters, and 30 "Al-Nazur" Class Spears, each ship featuring a blistering array of weaponry resurrected by the ceaseless efforts of the Forge-Clans of the Capital, while dozens upon dozens of novel and new technologies and ideas are being tested fleet-wide for wider implementation into the second fleet being raised from the decaying carcasses of those ships left from before the Collapse. Though supply issues have made themselves apparent, it is estimated that the fleets will be able to operate for around a hundred years before requiring a dedicated overhaul or replacement due to a lack of components that cannot be created by current means. In any case, this is merely one more step toward a brighter future for humanity, as even the skies now belong to the Empire!
