Let's check out the newspaper to see what's happening in the world of Atlas...

'Mere weeks after the conclusion of the Imperial Civil War and the Homefront Liberation Army's victory over the Alexi imperial family, riots and protests are already breaking out across the Empire in opposition to the crowning of Duke Mikhail as Emperor in the wake of Emperor Cyril Alexi's death at the hands of Loyalist extremists.

Although the Homefront rebel faction was supported by much of Judec's working class and disaffected military, many Loyalist forces remain across the Empire. With mixed reports of civil disturbances, peaceful protests, and violence erupting across the cities of Marzantium, Eskelgrad, and the Imperial Capital Constantine, the Imperial Army (much of which was formerly the rebel forces) find themselves in the ironic position of being on the other side of the same table they sat at just months ago.

Among the most egregious of rumors floating around the Empire are the whispers that Duke Mikhail's ascension is in fact illegitimate, and the former Emperor Cyril was actually murdered by rebel forces, looking to boost the Homefront sympathetic Duke Mikhail onto the Imperial throne.

As tensions with the Alliance rise, it remains to be seen how these developments will impact future events in the continent.'
