The Atheran Times began on June 26th, 2019 on a server called AtlasMC (the server on which [[Cortesia Del Mar]] played from January to September 2020); it was the passion project of Morvian (Morvia; a country on AtlasMC) Minister of Foreign Affairs [[Vedd]] and Morvian Justice Minister tsun123. For its first two issues (released June 10th and July 12th of that year), tsun123 contributed disproportionately, leveraging the inexperienced paper for outreach and power. Following the collapse and subsequent recreation of Morvia the following November, the Atheran Times was restarted on AtlasMC again by [[Vedd]] and [[yodabird19]] (whose nations by this point were allies) on June 1st, 2020, and released an issue on June 17th. On September 6th, 2020, [https://www.atherantimes.com atherantimes.com] was launched, and ran until [[Cortesia Del Mar]] (of which [[Vedd]] was by this point a member) left AtlasMC on October 5th.<br>

The Atheran Times intended to reform on whatever server [[Cortesia Del Mar]] settled on from the day that it went into hibernation. Following [[Cortesia]]'s settlement on CivClassic, serious work began on restarting the site in April 2021; three months later, on June 26th, this work paid off with [https://www.reddit.com/r/civclassics/comments/o8owyl/the_launch_of_the_atheran_times/ the relaunch of the Times].
