Hi folks,
I guess by now, you have thought me insane to do what I have started... But let me explain...
Believe it or not, several small SLs were in the making before the switch from 1329 to 1333... and in doing the switch, things got a bit outta hand trying to catch everyone up... then people started asking me if they could have a piece of a SL... well, it seems that Skye cannot do without its villains... so here we are...
Beth & Co. have been doing a FANTABULOUS job with France (On Civility and others I think)... and
Liv & Co. have been doing a FANG_DANG_BANG-up job with Hidden Wars...and
I & Co. have been doing a great job with Desert Destiny and the gig with Roger and Isabella...
Soooo... things started to cross a bit, and I got an idea to bend some of the... I have always had an idea to do a TRADE WARS SL...but with the year switch I got scared... but being reassured I just speeded up my timeline a bit....
Desert Destiny is actually a love story between Kam and Bri... but it will involve an overthrow of the leader of the Marinid Dynasty... that will influence things because of the control of the Strait... Kam will also have to ask for help from his family in Egypt... hence luring Egypt to be involved... eventually this "Muslim family" squabble will involve Spain...
Now with Spain involved, Skye sees a choke hold on the Strait... cutting off vital trade routes... Now we vcannot have Skye messed with now can we? Of course we can...
Hence the Maubreys...::laughs:: William is wanted and is too caught up with his wife..er...assassin... or the loss of... so he introduces Roger Mortimer, a longtime friend, to James... oopps, I forgot to tell yu James loves the French, cause his Dad messed up England... and he despises his brother... a bit jealous I think of his Father's attention to his half-brother... Meanwhile, Roger is pissed at Adam, and wants revenge of sorts... he wants the Isles of Lewis and Harris... Opps, James owns them... ::places his hand at his mouth:: sooo...
Now James, being a businessman... a greedy bastard by all measureable standards, sees how Morocco is able to control the Strait... convinces those responsible in France, they need to be involved... and with Isabella's influence he could sway the Spaniards too...
Stirring the pot, causing havoc in the Mediterrean, keeping Adam's sight forcused on the Mediterrean, he and Roger can maneuver on the Isles...
All this over the control of trade... oh of course, a lil greed, a smidgen of jealousy, a tad of revenge, and a whole lot of money...
This will be breweing over a period of three years, late 1329 to early 1333... so don't think you will miss out... I am trying to bring all my SLs to 1333, where the Trade War finale will be...
Hope this helps... This SL is NOT manadatory...lol. You can join in on some level... or yu can wait as the years pass before your very eyes and jump in then... or you can just watch an old man have fun...
Enjoy !!
Will
