1646, midsummer!
Despite being in the midst of war, the Northern Border Region was still immersed in a mood of jubilant excitement.
Lately, the steam dailies of the Northern Border Region had been continuously publishing stories about the Otan Grelle Steam Empire's great victory in the April war for the Steam Spirit Realm.
This served as a much-needed shot in the arm for the front lines, which had been steadily retreating.
Between April and May, the front line actually stopped its retreat and even launched localized counter-offensives.
During this time, the heroic deeds of several Tower Guardians who defended the Newborn Steam Empire's Steam Spirit Realm with their lives, vowing to live or die with the Spirit Realm, were featured one by one in the Otan Grelle Steam Empire's steam dailies.
Each Tower Guardian was given their own dedicated section in the steam dailies, with detailed reports on their actions.
