Wow, I wish I had my vanilla disc. I will be looking forward to reading more insanity.

This must be like, what, ... a very fast SG. Keep the personalities rolling and finish this baby off by tomorrow morning!
Isabella was confused. What was she up to again?
Ah yes. Now she remembered. She worshipped animals. Sheep, cows, deer, piggies, she loved them all. And they loved her. The llama though, the llama. Oh the holy llama. She told her warriors scour the land, not to return until they sighted him.
She had dabbled with Hinduism, but vowed to convert her growing populace to the love of the animals as soon as she could convince them. Darma this, karma that. ALL WRONG. People should live the way of the Llama.
And finally after 120 years her people did see reason. No official state religion for these animists!
She sent a group of settlers out to pay closer attention to the cows. Cows were nice. A little plump, and with necks shorter than optimal. But they had a friendly personality and could whistle a decent tune. The Spanish civilization founded their first new city, saLLAMAnca:
Our capital began training another animal carer.
We met Asoka, who had founded Buddhism.
Mining was finished. Isabella desperately wanted to research Llamaback Riding, but her governors insisted on Pottery. Boo!
Her warriors had yet to find the holy llama. They were still looking though. In search of more animals to befriend, she started training another settler party. Those elephants in the east sure are funny creatures! Have you seen the size of their ....

AHA! Claimed!
I will try to have this done by approximately 10 a.m. EST Friday.
I hate to break the trend of rapid reports, but I just can't miss my chance!

Oh how this would be a grand time to steal a got it, but alas if I did, I would not be able to continue this spectacular turnset rate
I'll be back...
EDIT: AHA! Another has claimed. Alas, we are no longer on a roll. Sir Clovis, what have you done?!

Sorry, just couldn't pass up the opportunity...
I hate to break the streak, but, somehow I couldn't resist.
It is possible I could do it tonight but we'll see.

Well, he apparently wouldn't be able to play that quickly either, and I've already started my report, so...
I'll do my best to have it done at 10 a.m.

SaLLAMAnca?
Clovis, don't be irritated by the others; you are still perfectly within the rules. Be aware however that we have to skip you if you don't post your report during the next few hours.

Isabella came slowly awake, dusting the cobwebs off her blasted memory. She hadn't been feeling so well over the past several thousand years. Augh!
What was that with its nose in her face!? Get out of here, you stinky creature! Llamas, llamas, everywhere! Get out, out, out!
This country of hers was too small, too sickly, and too weak. Did they not understand that they were the rightful rulers of the world? The chosen race?
Superior to all others?
This land needed a monument, a great symbol of their power and superiority. What was that they were training in Leningrad, an animal carer???? Stop! Now! Don't you stupid people understand? She quickly ordered them to build a great temple, one that would inspire people to be great for thousands of years to come. Hmm, how could she make it build faster? We must know how to work bronze, so we can chop forests to speed the work. She quickly ordered both cities to emphasize science.
One of her scouts comes upon another of those painted popinjays that call themselves leaders. Ha! The nerve of her! So she considers herself beautiful, eh? She obviously does not understand that Spain is the finest civilization of the world, and therefore its leader must be the most beautiful. Ha! The nerve of that woman!
In 1600 B.C. She notices that SaLLAMAnca has completed a granary. They try to sneak past her authority and build some thing they call an obelisk, but she will have none of it. She immediately orders them to start stacking huge stone blocks in a rather odd shape. She doesn't know what it's good for, but her advisors tell her it will be revered for many years. She herself secretly suspects that it is some sort of pagan ritual connected to those, those animals, but if it causes her to be more revered, well, then, she won't stand in the way.
One day, an odd-looking man with a stoop and burn marks on his hand is brought to her. He claims to have discovered how to shape this shiny thing he calls bronze into useful tools. She immediately has him make axes for her workers and they set to work chopping trees to help build her beautiful wonders. She also declares a state of slavery. If she can whip her people, maybe they will work harder. No?
In 1360 B.C. This new fellow Peter tells her she is not as foolish as she looks! These insulting buffoons get on her nerves sometimes.
Disgruntled, she goes to bed, already wondering why she is not so anxious to finish those wonders.

To the dismay of her loyal subjects, Isabella is struck down by a mysterious disease, which baffles leading tribesmen. Unable to fulfil her duties to the Spanish Empire, she reluctantly gives temporary control to her husband King Ferdinand II of Aragon.
However Ferdinand is unsure of his authority. What if his decisions anger Isabella if she recovers? He doesnt want to be on the wrong end of one her mood swings.
Paralysed by doubt, Ferdinand decides to leave things as they are, until he can summon further courage to exert his own will over the fate of the Empire.
After 60 years, Isabellas condition hasnt improved and Ferdinand realises he cannot dodge responsibility any longer, he seizes the opportunity to stamp his own mark on Spains History.
The work on the Parthenon is halted in favour of expanding Spains empire and far away scouts are recalled to ensure the Empires safety from the Barbarian threat. Not wanting to displease sickie Izzy too much, he continues her work on mysterious stone circles.
However he soon learns that these stone circles have been built elsewhere in the world. Not understanding the use of them anyway, Ferdinand merely shrugs his shoulders and carries on.
A strange form of communication called, writing becomes known to Ferdinand, can this help cure his beloved Isabella? Scholars assure him that it cannot. Seeing that the scientists cannot help her, Ferdinand turns to the Spiritual, can the beginning of a Priesthood appease the gods and save his wife? He must try
Meanwhile, the Barbarous men of the other races come to meet the new ruler of Spain. One of them is certainly unexpected.
A new city is founded to the East, in honour of Izzy it is named Ciudad Isabella.
The establishment of a Priesthood in Isabellas name begins its prayers and the miracle occurs! The fever that had afflicted Izzy so long vanishes and Pouty Pants quickly shoves aside Fickle Ferdy to sit upon her throne once more .
