In a shocking move by Emperor Otto Von Anselm, his majesty has declared him self abdicated, and taken his airship to Fort Van Dyke with little explanation. To everyone's surprise his newly appointed Regent was the automaton known as the Fiend. The machine has begun increased production of war machines, and quickly laid claim to many surrounding regions. (Been meaning to do this forever now, but basically I gave Gryph leadership to Fiend.)
