@Rensslaer: Thank you very much. That's very gratifying to hear. The next update is in the works, but I don't have an exact release date in mind yet. I'm still getting adjusted to my new work/life balance with my new job.

@Rensslaer: Haha, just a smidge. I expect I’ll settle into a routine eventually and be able to get back to regular updates soon.
Just a reminder that the Q3 ACAs are in progress, so please go vote if you've enjoyed this story so far.

Very enjoyable first few chapters. I didn't know Crockett was a politician before he came west. Hopefully, he has a much longer life now that Santa Anna won't get in the way.

@jak7139: Thanks for commenting! Hopefully, you'll enjoy getting to know our next two protagonists once I'm able to get their updates written!
The next chapter of Sundered Nation is in the works and will be coming eventually, but I just wanted to share with my readers that the Leonid meteor storm from "The Night the Stars Fell" will be visible once again this weekend. Granted, it won't be nearly as grand as it was in 1833, but it should provide a good opportunity for stargazing nonetheless.

This, again, reminds me I need to get a proper telescope one day.

Hopefully it clears up here soon. I don't recall seeing any meteors the last time it was clear a few days ago. (Last month one night I saw five in ~15 minutes, but they didn't share a common radiant nor was there a meteor shower at the time that I was aware of. Just got lucky. One was quite bright and green colored.)

@Emissary of the Prophets: For what it’s worth, they’re supposed to be at peak visibility around midnight where I am. If you’re a few hours ahead of me, I would think it would be the wee hours of the morning for you.

Don't have the telescope.
And it's rain for the next 3-4 days.- 1
Which I cannot see.Yes, a rain shower of... meteors!

I will, however, show you what I saw a week ago, when I placed my cell phone on the ground and used 30 sec exposure and 3200 ISO! In one you see Andromeda, in another Jupiter and the Pleiades.
Jupiter and Pleiades:
Andromeda (and a plane, in form of a long strip!):
Milkyway:

@Nikolai: Lovely! If you can get those clouds of yours to clear up, I bet you could get some terrific shots of the Leonids.
Yeah, I'm in Eastern time so that makes sense. I usually do my stargazing when I take litter trash out sometime between 21:00 and 23:00 so probably too early then.
@Nikolai Stunning! I've lived in an urban area until very recently so I was very excited when I first ID'd M31 with my own eyes a few weeks ago.

Dear friends and readers,
Now that 2023 has drawn to a close, it's time to vote for your favorite AARS in the Q4 AARland Choice Awards (ACAs) and the 2023 Yearly AARland Year-end AwAARds (YAYAs). If you've enjoyed Sundered Nation, please head over and vote! And even if you don't vote for this AAR, please, please head over and vote for some of the other great authAARs out there, any number of whom would love your support and recognition.
Please note that Sundered Nation is not eligible for the Q4 ACAs, as the latest update was in Q3. Please don't let that stop you from voting for other well-deserving AARs though! In the 2023 YAYAs, it is eligible for Narrative AAR of the Year, Graphics of the Year, Character of the Year, Writer of the Year, and AAR of the Year. Voting ends at the beginning of February.
Thank you again for your continued friendship and support. It truly means so much!
Best wishes,
The Kingmaker
