Rasputin,

There's no real time frame for the game but don't wait too long before playing and posting. I think two or three days is plenty. Please post here and be imaginative when you write your journal. No one is expecting great writing (mine certainly isn't) but make it interesting to read. As you probably read, MBloomIII has been conscripted by his domestic government and won't be able to take his turn this week. So, you're up. Good luck and try to find someone for us to fight with

[Rasputin]

In the Year 1AD a strange apparition appeared over the city of Persoplois, the Persina Capital, Many later described it as some sort of great light , others denied that anything had actually happened at all.
But soon after this event a new leader rose to the throne of Persia, King Rasputin I. Claiming to be led by some divine force he soon had a large following as he promised great expansion for the nation. All the elders of each city sent their virgin daughters to the Palace to become the harem of Rasputin I.
The first act of King Rasputin was to deal with the unhappy people in Susa and with this accomplished and all citys ordered to send out new citizens to found even more citys. The first decade of King Raz was finished.

10AD The National census was undertaken and it was discovered that Persia had grown to 600 000 citizens . A national holiday was decalred and King Raz settled down with his harem for the day. During the 2nd decade of King Rasputin I , Rasputin prophesied of a far off nation known as Romans being destroyed by another bnation known as Carthoginians. But the people disregarded this proclamation as they knew they were all alone in htis world. But King Raz oredered one fleet home as an escape for him and his harem (just in case). The rest of the fleet continued to explore the North East seas.

20AD Another national holiday proclaimed and a new city built between Pasargadae and Antioch , which was to become home of Rasputin's harem and where he sujourned during the long summer months, this new city was named Raz Beach.

30ADWord arrived back from the fleet that our trusty Diplomat team had negotiated with some natives they found in a local hut on islands to our east , the natives graciously gave 50 Gold in tribute. Another new city was built on the south coast of our small island home, this city was named Tyre ( King rasputin told the people in years to come this place would be home of a great invention called the wheel, aslo known as tyres) agai nthe people jsut smiled knowingly and ignored him

40AD Citizens from Gordium and Pasargadae decided to split and find their own citys, this was greeted by celebration from King Rasputin who once again went to Raz beach.

50AD The following annoncement ws made by the Persian Scientists " The Persian People are fascinated and awed by the forces of nature surrounding them. Earthquakes, storms and other phenomena are generally regarded as signs from heaven. Individuals and groups have arisen and formulated explanations for these events, they have now passed that knowledge along to the nation. The priests and priestesses of Persia, often called oracles, claim union with the divine through meditation and trance-like contemplation. This primative mysticism offers the people of Persia the first, tenuous links with the powers that shaped our world."

60AD Warriors were set to garrison Raz Beach after many citizens had joined this lovely holiday resort.

70AD The city of Tyre also was garrisoned by Warriors. Fleet continues to sail north , but discovers magical forces to the north preventing further travel so they head south east.

80AD Citizens from Antioch head out to found new city. The people of Susa who for the past century had been building a great Statue to be named "Colossus" suddenly discoverd their construction had fallen down and now resembleds some form of Pyramids, King Rasputin visited the site and decided this would make a great place to store the nations excess food. another national holiday proclaimed. The wandering citizens of Gordium discovered a great new city site with plenty of fishing spots and settled to make a ne wcity called Sardis (this was the name later given to a small form of fish found of the coast Sardines became a wonderful delicacy especially on toast). The wandering citizens from Pasargadae also found a new home and built a city called Samaria on the island to the east of Persian Central. (This city was so named as the people when they arrived there declared ' Wow this would be some area to build a city in')

90AD The people of Arbela sent forth a load of camels loaded to the hilt with some of their finest wines. Word had come to them that the people in Antioch were Wine Conisgours (Antioch of course was later to be World wide headquarters of A/A)

100AD Very quiet on the home front , while the fleets explored eastwards

110AD Much population increase, much activitiy at Raz Beach

120AD Persian Scientists announce a new form of government , to be called The Republic, but King Rasputin I rejects calls for a change, he says it will only make the people sad.

130AD Paragadae has another town meeting and resolves to split again, the happy citizens of Tarsus build a new city of Hamadam (no particualr reason for the name)

140AD Another census reveals the population is now 700,000 The camels from down south arive in Antioch and much wine is consumed, the best bottles sent to Raz beach for the harem. Word of barbarians near Gordium arrive at palace , but everyone was drunk so disregarded the info. Fortunatly the local governeor of Gordium had trained up two battalions of hosremen to protect his domain. The barbarian archers were soon dispatched.

150AD Further revelling and merryment across the nation, fleets stil lat sea

160AD King Rasputin I orders more citizens to go looking for more city spots. Expand expand expand

170AD New cities founded on more islands to north.

180AD The people are growing tired of their old king who is rumoured now to be over 200 yrs old, no sign of him for the past twenty years. Word arrives of some foreign nation building a major wonder called the colossus.

190AD Further barbarian activity near Gordium causes loss of one battalian of horsemen. Still no sign of Raputin I , rumours abound that he is actually dead , and that his harem are now running the nation. Another city built by citizens on main island

200AD Persians are very unhappy now, the larger citys are now very frustrated with the missing Rasputin. Rioting breaks out in various towns


In the 200 years of his reign 8 new citys had been built, a magnificent food storage area knows as the Pyramids were built and the population had grwon from 600 000 to 1 060 000 .....
