Turn 90 to Solver ---

The Native American people are happy. Plenty of food, good wages, no riots. N/A scientists are burning the midnight oil to find ways to make life even better! Soon we will build great ships of the line to search out the Indian and German folk of this world, so we can all be friends!

Turn to King Thor

[King Thor]

Amar looked upon the vast ocean and took in its glory. Yet he did not have a smile upon his face.

Amar had spent 20 years of his life on the frontier of civilization. He had grown accustomed to the sea on his journey to a new land to form a colony, so he had abandoned his life as a colonist and decided he wanted to become an explorer.

He spent 12 years of his life in expeditions into the forests of the new world. For 5 years he headed the expeditions as he had become a man of great repute among his people. Stories of his discoveries and fights with barbarian tribes were the talk of every Cafe in the colonies. The great High Priest himself had sent him a medal to honour his bravery and achievements for the Indian people. However, Amar had tired of this and longed for the sense of adventure and bewilderment that he had felt in the open seas. The new world had become too familiar to him after all those expeditions, he yearned for something new.

He left the new world colonies and departed for a new journey into the open ocean. He knew not what he would find and he knew not what to expect. He had travelled for many years along the coast lines of islands and discovered many lands that he had never known even existed. He kept the details of his journeys in his journal with immaculate precision, knowing that all he learned would be of great knowledge to the High Priest when he got back.

However, of late he had been wondering about how all these lands he had discovered, were always uninhabited. Wild, uncivilized and mysterious. He had come across barbarian tribes before, but they invariably fled into the jungles as they saw his fleet approach. This disturbed him.

He new the stories about how the Indian people were the only civilized in the entire universe, and that is why they were superior to all other creatures. However, he found it hard to believe that none of the other humans he had met had developed culture, or writing or art. Were the Indians truly superior? Couldn't it be that somewhere far far away other people had banded together and buit empires as great, or perhaps, even greater than India? Was it possible that the stories of the Haito , a barbarian tribe that he had come across in the forrests of the new world, were true. They spoke of great empires in the far corners of the world, with cities of solid gold, and where trade, science and religion flourished. Empires that had built amazing structures as a symbol of their strength and wealth, structures that could only be classified as wonders.

He was indeed troubled. He had sailed for years and never come across these people. Where were they? Infact, did they even exist? From all he could see, the Indian people were alone in having accomplished a civilized society. But his heart told him to keep going and keep trying.

And so he followed his heart. He made up his mind, that he would sail until the end of the World looking to find these civilizations and to prove to himself that they exist, and if he didn't succeed in finding them, then he'd die knowing that he had tried and spared nothing in his pursuit....
