It is 1766 in the year of our lord, and Christendom in order to survive has had to do something that she never thought possible - make an alliance with thooe of the Mohommedan faith in order to take on the devilspawn that lies to the west. I refer of course to those savages which inhabit South Columbia known as the Incas a beastly people who engage in human sacrifice to their false gods. A people born of a continent previously unheard of, even by the Ancients. When Pizzaro first encountered them, he expected more of the same success that Cortez had with the Astecs. But these savages were not divided as the Astecs' had been. There had been at one point two contenders for their throne; Huascar and Atahualpa. The former died in battle in the days before their father and his desigated heir died, leaving only Athualpa. With no internal division for Pizzaro to latch onto, and the constant threat of disease eating away at his men's health, by March 2nd, 1529, Pizzaro and his men were killed by the diseases of the vile continent, leaving their guns, their horses, their shipsm, and their metals to used by the Inca. They put all these things to their own use, and in March 13, July 1539, they considered themselves ready to introduce themselves to Christendom. What was seen would shock and anger us all for generations to come.
