Timanukum III
On 1500 Timanukum III, the son of Magat I was able to replace Magat I, who was quite uncompetent as a ruler in Selurong, Timanukum III was very happy to recieve the crown which he was waiting for since he was young, he prefered to be a simple man rather than a King but his own duties matter more than that and he was able to attack Southern Selurong or Lower Selurong, Upper Selurong became known as the Kingdom of Irraya at this point other than the Kingdom of Selurong, the Kingdom of Irraya was able to have peace with Lower Selurong and Brunei after he attacked Lower Selurong, however the people of the Kingdom of Irraya was always wishing to get Lower Selurong to reunite the Island again and free it from the clutches of Bruneian domination but Timanukum III focused on his countries' external affairs rather than the conflicts, he welcomed some Chinese people who were envoys of the Emperor of China, Yung Sheng of Ming.
Timanukum III was wondering when he heard of the White Explorers in Visayas, he is thinking would these Explorers bring luck to the land or cause disaster, his son Domogan said that every thing would be fine and that Selurong would be fine and Timanukum III was happy of that.

Ripples in the Horizon

Ferdinand Magellan (1480 – April 27 1521); Portuguese: Fernão de Magalhães; Spanish: Fernando de Magallanes) was a Portuguese sea explorer. He became the first European who sailed on the Pacific Ocean, and the first to sail a ship around the entire world. Magellan's voyage proved that the Earth was round.
He was born in Oporto in 1480. He worked in a royal court where he learned many important skills, including map making, navigation and astronomy. In 1505 he joined the navy. When he worked for Portugal, he went to many parts of the world, such as India, the Spice Islands, East Africa, and Morocco. After he lost his job for the King of Portugal, he went to work for the Queen of Spain, Maria, the daughter of Margaret of Habsburg and Juan, Prince of Asturias.
He was also the first to sail through the Strait of Magellan, so it was named for him. Magellan himself was killed in the Philippines, because he had traded with them with iron and fruits and thought, somehow, they were stealing. He ordered his crew to start a fire and some islanders died, which started the fight. The other 18 sailors, led by Juan Sebastián del Cano survived the entire voyage and returned to Spain in 1522. This was the first ship known to sail around the world. One of the crew, Henry, a Malay interpreter who was picked up by Magellan on his earlier trip for Portugal, became the very first person known to travel all the way around the world, when they reached his home country and he stayed there.
King Timanukum III heard about the battle in Mactan, the defeat and was wondering about the White Explorers in Visayas, he is thinking would these Explorers bring luck to the land or cause disaster, his son Domogan said that every thing would be fine and that Selurong would be fine and Timanukum III was happy of that.
