Expanding of The Paper Empire

Hello to all,

I have decided since my current dealings with pirates of blood acquaintance and otherwise plus the growing concerns of war among the empires plus various other finds on my journeys across the world, that the blog shall be expanded to more then the recreation of various ships and to stories and personal accounts during these trying times.

I will also be at times when possible joined by my nephew and pirate Henry along with his mate and Lylen survivor, Kenta. Plus as a special treat but of course exceptional rare to have join us from the Tri-Flame Order, Agent 0 and his master Saerine.

L.Z. 500 "Advent of the Aerial Destroyers"

Dear fellow Adventurers,

I am sorry for the delay in my posting of the final vessel of the L.Z. 100 series. I finally gathered my notes and images so that I may post them for you delight.

The L.Z. 500. It was considered a insane vessel when it first came out of the factories. No one thought it would even fly. It was a massive undertaking by the Lydon Army. With six standard cannons, one repeating cannon, and two of the new turret cannons it was a vessel armed to the teeth. As well it had armor plating to protect the gunners.

It did fly and it flew very well. It was as if someone took a fortress and had it float in the skies. However it was not completely a success in the battlefield. The L.Z. 500 was slow, very slow. It required a lot of support from neighboring vessels. the Lydon military was just not prepared for the new kind of strategy this airship required.

Of course this did not end ever expansion of large aerial destroyers. The in 1000 series(My fathers greatest and final military achievement.) the military was much better prepared and a new type of flying machine made it easier to defend the slow moving destroyers. This was the marvel known as the Fixed wing airship or for a better term the areoplane. But thanks to the L.Z. 500 the military and inventors were able to catch their follies in military might early.

P.S. I will now start my research on the areoplane. So see you in a few months.

Sorry for the lack of posting

My dear followers,

Sorry for the lack of posting. I was called away to a dig in my wife's old country in which a ancient Lylen ruin was discovered of a new source of energy of the legendary power known as essence. I was such a great find. IT is now to believed that small fragments of this stuff is spread all over the world. And I am very excited on finding new pockets of the essence ruin stones for help aid in the advancement of mankind.

As well I seem to be have technical difficulties with the aether net in my home and I am working on getting that back up soon so that a may continue. PLus my Classes at the college I am a professor at are soon to start up so postings should  slow down. I hope you will be patient and stay with me in this hectic time. Thank you very much.

Version 3: L.Z. 400

The L.Z. 400. After the Introduction to the battlefield of the skies of the L.Z. 300 "Fast attack" vessel it was seen the need for a longer distance vessel. It was short lived as the Battles between Lydon and Ermonlin Empires were mostly over open ocean and there was not much for landing sites for the 300 model.

Soon after both sides saw this need and added on the bottom of the 300 two balloons. they moved the engines out towards the wings of the balloons. It was dubbed the L.Z. 400. It was introduced into the battles that stared over the lands to the north. The first country to feel the pain of there ever struggle was Bu-gu-nan (Which is were my wife comes from.).

The battles continued over to the west to the small cluster of Northern Countries. Due to the threat of the imperial conquest the main countries Bu-gu-nan, Dai-chi-ya, Ulling, Yosai, Mongkuya, and Kunkin formed an alliance against the foreign threat. The war continued to spread further into the world. Which started to advent of larger more destructive vessel.
