Chapter One: The Beginnings of Man
It was a long and cold winter as el-Qwazeer stepped out of his hut and into the world. He stepped toward the Euphrates River where he sat down. He thought is was time to create a society that will spread into all of the known world.
He called for a meeting with the elders of the village, he said Its time for us to leave our nomadic life and into permanent citites!
The elders thought and discussed about his idea and finally they said, Sure, only if you create a civilization that will last the test of time. El-Qwazeer jumped up and ran into the homes yelling, if you want an adventurous life and not moving place to place, come with me! Some men, women and children came out and followed him, to the river. There some masons and bronze workers the people had achieved while in the nomadic life. Then a young man headed toward el-Qwazeer, he was not strong and heavy he was just normal. But he was smart. Veeeery smart. He said to el-Qwazeer, Whos going to control the known world when we get powerful? El-Qwazeer turned around and replied, I dont know. Im not sure if were going to get that far.
He ordered the men to start building houses and the women to start farming. Soon he had a town. The only thing missing was a large home the Sultan. He made the workers to start a palace for him. He thought he should rule since it was his idea. After 3 years, the palace was finished. He named the town Istanbul for his uncle.
He wanted people to have a way of writing down communications. So he ordered the wise men to study Alphabet. Then some workers appointed by him, set off to the other side of the river to find a rich land with rocks. They called these rocks shields due to their shape; they look like shields of a spearman.
A couple weeks later once the workers were there. They started to road this area to the city. Soon, people could come here and live here. Soon after, the workers were done. They wanted more of these shields so they started to make a mine.
Istanbul, during that was making a regiment of warriors. These warriors were fearless and wander to the outsides of the world. The warriors ventured west to see if there was any land that was good. Later, el-Qwazeer wanted more to protect his marvelous city. So he got more men to join the regiments. The exploring warriors found some animals that feed them well and a river they called the Tigris. The sultan thought about sending people over there when the population gets too big.
The workers were done mining and thought the land was improved enough, so they went to another place were there were shields. The exploring warriors found more animals. They lived in the forest and could be hunted for food. Also they saw shiney rocks that they could wear. They sent messnagers to Istanbul and tell e-Qwazeer about it. When he saw these rocks, he was happy. He showed these rocks to the friends and they were amazed at these rocks. He issued a speech to tell everyone about a new chance to get adventure. But the bad part was not enough people could go for a successful settlement. Another regiment of warriors was made to protect Istanbul. He predicted the population wouldnt grow enough to send people to the new city site. So he order more warriors to explore south.
The cities culture had grown so much, that it made the people go farther out. Meanwhile the warriors made on to the top of Mount Ararat. Where they could see the ocean and a tribe that didnt want to expand like the Ottomans.

These things become awesome once you're late in the game. Is el' Qwazeer going to live forever? Or are you going to have him die of old age and be replaced by a younger king? It might make the story more interesting. I'll keep reading if you keep posting.
