Still a great read, with a huge cliffhanger this time! I love the way you are combining the familiar aspects of this era with the exotic moon and fantasy stuff. My eyes shot open at "Lich King of France." This seems like such a cool world to explore even before we get to the space stuff.
If the Lich King made you open your eyes, how were you reading it before that? :P
Jokes aside: part of this universe dates back to 2009, so when I claim that I have been harvesting ideas for it for 15 years it would NOT be an exaggeration at all! Expect more soon.
Ah, I do love this science magic alternate universe you've built :) Lich king of France? Corpse Emperor Napoleon? Then what is Elizabeth, a Queen of wraiths? Can't wait to read the next chapter!
I’m playing with some ideas around a scientific breakthrough/ device that allows Napoleon to stay alive for much longer - basically becoming tied to a vast life-support throne in Paris. And yes - I know that is similar to the Warhammer 40k idea of the God-Emperor, so I am actively exploring ways to make it more unique and not immediately sound derivative…!
But that is glorious! Maybe make a second one, which is a mobile unit? Like something the size of a small house, which is super expensive to maintain, but could allow him to be moved about for a short period of time, away from the big throne? Or some devices which could project his image and allow him to see and hear others so he could distance-command armies!

(stop reading my mind!)
And yes, I have several ideas floating around for this :P
What can I say but “ehehe”!
