History of the World 4.0

[deity]

THe Angles had explored westward and discovered a New World. Then it was revealed that some sort of competition existed to explore and settle this New World. The Serbs were vieing for part of the action and it was known that in the far East Terra Australis was being settled.

The Azadine paniced. Had they been standing on their hands?

The Uele were oblivious to these events, quite contect behind their safety barrier...

The Azande saw it all so differently, for they were the chosen ones, the ones from the stars, the ones yet to be reckoned with. It was their caravans that yielded 4x the gold of any other civilisation on the planet. They had devised a secret strategy that would dominate the world, yet only minimally settle it....

[Rasputin]

THE MAN ordered his genrals to move up over the ridge, the township below was burning , the last stand by the Egyptian army had been a wasted effort, many lay dead across the plains. With anarchy spreading across the breadth of Egypt, revolts were occuring in every city. This all pleased THE MAN who was now known throughout the world for his violence and evil. Soon he would be strong enough to ride on to Raz City and retake all that belonged to him.

[Rasputin]

In Raz City all the chiefs of all the provinces gathered with Pharaoh Rameses and discussed how to get the Egyptian revolt under control. Finally in disgust Rameses threw his crown onto the floor and shouted
"If th epeople will no longer follow their Pharaoh i will leave and live in the valley of my ancestors. "

And with that he left.


So the Chiefs were left to sort out the mess, it took them many years of internal squabllign before they fianlly settled on a new form of govenrment they called the Senate. Each province would elect a Senator to represent them and the Senators would elect a new Emperor to rule them all.

And so began the Republic of Egypt

[Rasputin]

The Wedding

In a secret location in the Holy City, THE MAN looked across at his beautiful new wife. Cleopatra would make him very happy he knew, not only in the bedroom, which he was anticipating immensley, but also her favour with the people would be his inroads back to power.

Already he knew that most Senators favoured making Cleopatra the new Empress of all of Greater Egypt. Once that decision was announced he would declare his marriage to the nation and take his palce at the side of his Young , beuatiful , virgin wife in the Forum.

[Rasputin]

The Forum

Cleopatras first action as the nations Empress was to return all the soldiers to their barracks. The mid east was in peace at last.

She sent her chief diplomat to meet with the Serbs but he was expelled whilst journeying through Turkey. This did not please the Egyptians and Cleo put it to memeory how the egyptain diploamt was treated.

Trade was offically launched and Egypt welcomed the camels from southern africa and rejoieced with the new commoditeis availalbe.

New citys were built in Western Africa and the engineers were madly building roads to link the great nation together.

Irrigatio nwas also being laid to feed th egrowing populace which had rushed the one million mark.

The first merchant ship was built and was ordered to load with egytpian finery and find suitable trading partners.

[Rasputin]

The Great Raz looked down and saw everyone rushing to the New World. Yes he hasd been wise to keep his people away from the New World. Soon there would be war in the New World as Serbs, Tartars, English and Indians fought for the right to call the palce their own, even the Azande were sailing that way too. And as for the Chinese well The Great Raz knew their ways well.

Yes his people would be safe from the war in the New World, but that wasnt to say that all would be safe in Africa and Asia, no things were just about to hot up

[Frank Johnson]

China had existed in splendid isolation, with the exception of her two allies, the Indians and Tartars. For years knowledge and trade had been exchanged between lands, and the people grew numerous and were happy in the land no matter what kingdom ruled them.

The primary route of trade led through Southern China into the Jungles of Indo-China to the Indian city of Bangalore. There Chinese goods were exchanged for those from all over India and Australia, as well as Indian and Tartar currency, which was the point of the first issue the Chinese government took up which bothered them about a foreign nation.

The powerful Kingdom of the Serbs was no mystery to the Chinese government. Basic contacts were kept with their leaders periodicly and both were commited to peace, but the great distance between the nations kept most issues relating to them on the backburner, that is until Serbian nobility became envious of Chinese and Indian trade routes. They called for the world in open forums to not allow currency to fall into the hands of the Chinese, which perplexed many within China. For years China had no need of its own currency, but had traded its own goods for foreign currency. Most labourers in China freely accepted this foreign currency as one way of establishing a set price for goods.

The Chinese Government was quite concearned about these outright rude comments made by Serbia. A special board of the top merchants in Shanghai and Beijing met along the grand canal to create the first Chinese currency. Foreign currency would continued to be allowed as well.

Fueled by the vast wealth aquired through trade, new cities were established in Indo-China, on Formosa, and expeditions were set out to explorer the artic northeast, and to find a new world of our own.

Despite all hardships and irrational outsiders China continues to promote peace and trade throughout the world, as well as open discussion and compromise.

The End of Camelot

The final years of Camelot were a prosperous, though naively happy time. The power and wealth of the kingdom grew rapidly and there was much rejoicing, no one expecting the somber patch of misery that was soon to follow.

Relations with the Serbs were renewed greatly. The First Ecumenical Council was a great success. Pope Leo I and Ras Patriarch Danilo I issued a joint declaration outlawing Arianism and several other heresies of the faith. Bishops throughout the British kingdom enforced the new dogma from the pulpit.

Shunned and in many cases excommunicated, the newly persecuted Arians found themselves strangers in their own land. Seeking refuge this religious minority boarded the great fleets of Leif Ericson and John Cabot bound for the new world. These settlers, and practicers of other heretical sects, tamed New England through the establishment of several colonies. From Arthurtown in the south to Quebec in the north, the English controlled the rich coastline.

The Arians increased in number, both in New England and in the motherland. To appease the interests of a few wealthy Arian merchants, the Arian lord Oliver Cromwell was appointed to the Round Table. He took over the position of Domestic Advisor from the late Stephan Uros.



King Arthur was by this time very old and ailing. His reign was very long and prosperous. Despite his old age, he was rumored to have no trouble pleasing the beautiful (and much younger) Queen Guinevere. With the well known, and by now legendary impotence problems of the long dead Egyptian King Tut the English Bishops used this to their advantage and began circulating explanations behind both Arthur's prowess and Tut's impotence.

As a way to promote marital fidelity the Bishops blamed Tut's trouble in the sack on his many concubines, and credited Arthur's monogamy for his great ability (rumors the Queen was having an affair with Lancelot were violently stamped out).

The Round Table, was finally ready to unveil the great monument in South Paris to the voyage of Leif Ericson. By this time the great stories and exploits of Ericson's voyage had been made public. Everyone prepared for the great celebration of the monument's unveiling on October 12 the following year.

Sadly the King would not live to see the celebration.

Arthur died on a Tuesday. It was the 6th night of rain and Camelot felt collective anguish upon hearing the news. For two weeks Queen Guinevere rarely left his side. Princess Ann and her twelve sisters tended to their father as best they could in his final days, but to all things there must be an end.

Sadly, despite his great virulence Arthur did not produce a male heir. Those close to the Round Table knew the truth behind the myth, it was not his monogamy but rather the sorcery of Merlin. Now that the reality of being without a son has struck the court, this magic was deemed not a blessing but a curse.

With no clear successor the kingdom was in terrible turmoil. There was great doubt and uncertainty in the once confident nation. Seizing upon this, the Domestic Minister, Oliver Cromwell immediately took to the streets denouncing the foul witchcraft of Merlin. Condemning the mystic for placing a curse on the house of Arthur that cost him his heir.

Whipping up the public into a frenzy of hatred, and using the long standing Christian objections to Merlin's pagan sorcery, Cromwell at the head of a mob had Merlin put to death by sword. He was executed in a public square in London.



Terrified by the turn of events, several members of the Round Table fled the city. One of the few to remain was Sir Lancelot. His attempts to retain order and the principles of Camelot were destroyed after Cromwell accused Lancelot of having an affair with the Queen and further contributing to Arthur's lack of an heir. For this offense Lancelot was also put to death.



Cromwell packed the Round Table with his supporters Atawa, Elfboi, Mordred and Morgan le Fay among others. Soon they had a majority of members at the Round Table. Cromwell declared that as no heir could be found, the monarchy was over and rule of the nation would be by the Round Table. Supposedly representatives of the people, the members of the Round Table, now known as "Roundheads," would vote on legislation.

This new restructuring was announced to the nation and the great English Civil War began.

[Rasputin]

The MAN entered the Empress's bed chambers and smiled. Yes he maybe headig towards 1000 years old but his wife was only 16 and she kept him feeling young at heart. He studied her body under the sheets in the bed and knew that he wanted her. Nut he didnt hav etime for that, he had to get her to take action on the military front , but she was too nice to want to fight, so his new proposal might elleeviate that somewhat. He would take control of al lthe military and leave her to domestic duties.

He had already overseen the construction of new training ground sfor his troops to improve their readiness and soon his master scienctists told him they would be able to train in new and wonderful technologies.

Yes the homeland was well protected now, but still the Egyptians lagged behind the world and it was THE MAN's desire to gain respect and respect only came from power and the sword.

The Azande and Azadine were what worried him now. If they found out his evil desires they would turn on him, already he felt their prying eyes turning on him, and he knew they would soon see his evilness and begin their magic , which he and he alone knew was real. The rest fo Egypt may have forgotten how it all began , but he hadn't. He knew the Azande people well, and he feared them.

The only one he feared more was the Priests of The Great Raz, the religous zealots who referred to themselves as Raslims. The holy Khoran of Raslim spoke of the evil he was performing, the priests knew him, but with the passing of the Pharaohs all power had been stripped from the Priests and he knew that till the people returned to their root faith, The Great Raz would not return, so he was free to infiltrate the world even more so.

Yes, if only the people realised that even his name was misleading, he laughed as he though tof it , THE MAN. They didnt even know he wasnt a man at all !!!!!!! He was not born of this world.
