It is now 95 AD. The two men sent back to 70 AD have been changing the timeline for twenty-five years, and drastic changes to Earth’s history are taking place.
In North America, John has long succeeded in making bison into draft animals. His success has changed the face of the continent. In the great plains of North America, tribes with access to buffalo are enslaving those without. In the south, where the great Mesoamerican Empires remain strong and whose religion demands human sacrifice, one nation finally got their hands on buffalo and are creating their first buffalo riders. In the midst of those changes, John’s sons have rejected his ways and are creating their own nations.
In Africa, Paulsland is still at war with the Himyarites of the Middle East. Paulsland is far too weak to defeat their enemies, so if King Paul does not want a temporary victory, he must find a way to convince other nations to fight his battles for him. During this war, King Paul recognized his mortality and so created a constitution designed to protect his new nation and his children once he was gone. Paul’s greatest fear is not for himself but for his children. He is all too aware of the times in history when everyone in a King’s family was executed when they died, and so King Paul works to reform his government so that it will not happen when he is gone.
Meanwhile, one of King Paul���s sons continues playing Roman politics to get revenge on a family that wronged him.
