This transcription is now written by the council of New Astrym.
After our defeat in the war with the Gahestian Empire, it was revealed to us that the main portion of our government was untrustworthy and corrupt, and ruled by a malevolent figure.
We have formed this New Council of Astrym, composed of our top military leaders, political figures, scientists, historians, and magicians, has declared a civil war against the corrupt government that was misguiding our so called "Republic."
A single figure has revealed himself to be an Emperor, a secret leader that was manipulating the original council. He has reorganized those remaining loyal to him into a nation known as the Empire of Astrolog. We, who fight against him, have named ourselves New Astrym.
While we have declared war, our objective is not to win. Even though we have superior military might in form of Astrym's airships, we have decided to flee to the frigid north rather than try to reclaim our lands. We want to avoid conflict if possible.
Hopefully, we will be able to preserve the free people of Astrym, its technology, it's science, its magic, its history, and its legacy as we flee from the oppressive Empire.
Turmoil boils over in the Republic of Astrym. The country splits and re-forms into two nations: The Empire of Astrolog, ruled by a corrupt emperor, and New Astrym, formed of the military officials, scientists, and political figures who were betrayed and wronged by the Empire's corrupt government. New Astrym has almost absolute control over the country's Airships, and using them, they evacuate all of New Astrym's civilians to a frigid island in the north. The remaining military of New Astrym engages the Empire of Astrolog in order to cover the evacuation to the northern island.
