Chapter One- Prologue

In was night when Al-Kahari stepped out of his cow hide dwelling onto the parched land of Anatolia, a vast plains region with two rivers, the Tigris and the Euphartes, two large rivers that flow into the Sea of Mamara, toward the East. He saw the sun just barely peek over the sea. He knew that it was time to herd the cattle outside of Istanbul. He made his way with his companion, El-Jaz, traveling on an old trail to the Tigris river.

Once there he and and soime other workers began constructing a road to link the cows. This road will make it possible for the cow herders, large robust men, to trade skins and other products to the city's redidents.

Unjack was a leader of the tribe of men who controled the city's actions and progress. They discussed where should the new houses shoud be placed and what military the city builds. the arguments were feverent, with men on sides on a particular issue. But this was tireing work. So on his break he decided to take a walk on Palace Street in the heart of Istanbul. On the street was the royal residents of Osman I, a young man with the wisdom of an elder.

Osman had a team of poor farmers that farmed in the large sugar fields south of Istanbul. There they would farm and grow massive amounts of sugar and sugabeer, an alcoholic beverage made from sugar.

The sugar fields extened upstream from Istanbul for almost 10 miles, the workers cut and grew sugar, putting it onto mules that will carry it to the city for manufacturing.

Al-Kahari ventured beyond the herding fields of the cattle. While traveling, he saw a tributary of the Tigris. he called it the Tigris Minor, which flew north from th e Tigris Major. There, he saw a small range of tall mountains which were called the Taraus Mountains.

Chapter 2- Exploring
(just for fun, Im gonna put one piece of something to do with Pink Floyd (lyrics, albums, etc.) in the chapters. :))

The first couple of years were rather uneventful in the Istanbul. But, they were receuiting another regiment of warriors to explore. They were called the First Regiment Warriors. Hal-kaz was a person in the army. He enjoyed the exercise he got while in the training process.

The training process was simple, take 500 or so men, and narrow down to only about 200. Only the fittest and the strongest manage to make it into the army, the hrest were sent home with nothing. But, Hal-kaz was a sugar farmer that worker in the southern farm, there it was rather hilly but not like the Taraus Mountains' foothills.

While therre he meet a old friend of his, El-Kwazeer who was his childhood friend of his. But they were seperated after a couple of years. El-Kwazeer had to become a cattle rancher like his father. But, once again, they were reunited.

The travels of the first regiment included climbing the steep mountains. They traveled along the ridge of the mountains, but it was comparitvely easy to the trek though the plateau!!! The plateau was a tall endless stream of garbage but they did find cows and cows alone. A fine position for a city...
