"OH GOD, IS LUTHER DEAD?"
- Martin Luther Burns at the Stake, 1521.
In October 31, 1517, Luther posted his 95 theses at a door of the Wittenberg Castle. its Ideas were hardly revolutionary, for what he preached was simply a continuation of other rebel monks. Luthers Ideas were expected to remain local, and not a threat to the Pope. However a new invention, the Guttenberg printing press made him a celebrity, soon his ideas were mass produced and circulated...the reformation had begun.
In the afternoon of April 17, 1521, Martin Luther was brought to a meeting in Worms on the Rhine. He was questioned by Charles V, a close relative of the present queen of Bavaria. Luther gave a 10 minute speech in german and then repeated it in latin.
However Charles V was not impresed, he disregarded Luthers safe conduct and said "One does not keep faith with heretics!". The next week Luther burned at the stake among other "heretics" of the catholic church.
Luthers Martyrdom at Worms did not became the early end of a reformation, but the catalyst that jump started a movement. Peasants realised that their lords had no right over them and raised in arms. In bavaria the large ammounts of forces made it impossible for a movement, but Brandenburg is in a high scale civil war, the peasants and even new-protestant nobles are in the verge of winning, soon the smoke will clear out and the results will be seen...
THE NILE, THE FRUIT OF THE SAHARA
- Mamluke and Ottomans claim the heart of the Nile area
Sent at similar times with similar goals, the explorers of the most important muslim nations set to re-discover the land of once ancient egypt, they found a great place, one of the most (if not the most) fertile area in all north africa. antigonism has once again developed between the shia and sunni empires.
GREEK ARMY DIVISIONS LAND IN THE NEW WORLD
-Aztecs running out of time?
The greeks have landed a massive number of divisions in the new world, more than any in the history of the colonisation. The spanish galleons are also on the way, time is running short for the aztecs who continue to wait for the english promises.
STORYS MIGHT BE TRUE AFTER ALL.....
-The legends of distant civilizations
In north africa the Ottomans are on the verge of finding the remnants of the ancient nubians, the ethiopian empire.
In asia a byzantene explorer party never came back, the byzanteens have easily expanded through the deserts of the middle east easily, but now havecompletely halted, every explorer that enters the grand forests of the east never returns. An advanced and rich civilization is believed to live behond the Indus River.
In america more storys are digged out by the mamlukes of a gold civilisation futher east, a civilisation that lives in the mountains....the Inca.

-PRIVATEERS REMAIN UNFOUND
Despite continued search the spanish or greeks have been able to find the privateers, however the greeks have captured english ships on claim to stop them from helping the aztecs. Due to this the english colonisation might take longer than expected.
