oes the King hate you? You've shown him nothing but undying loyalty, been his most valiant defender of country and Faith, and your success as an explorer and expander of the kingdom is unequaled. Why, oh why, after all this has he given you such an impossible task? All you asked His Highness for was the chance to retire from your travels and commit totally to the expansion of the Faith as a minister of the Gospel. Although he agreed after assigning you this one last mission, it appears to truly be the one that will lead to your demise. Never have you been given such a small ship, so little supplies, inexperienced crew, no weapons, and almost no money. Conquer and acquire Every island in His Majesty's name, indeed! How? After all, the enemies have established on every sound island. The waterways are narrow between the islands making passage treacherous, if not totally impossible. Jealousy and envy vary from slight to brutal among the heathen enemies. And what is this you hear? Your cowardly crew tremble at reports that the pirates have destroyed entire Armadas and fared so well in looting and booty as to have almost as much wealth, supplies, and goods as your dear King! Dealing with pirates and the enemies of your King just to survive, oh the anguish of kissing their feet in shame! But the King assures you that he is so certain of your victory and return that he shall immediately begin building you the most glorious church in all the realm. But he requires a city of 10,000 Aristocrats and a return of 30,000 gold pieces for doing so. His last admonition was clear, "Show me you are truly worthy of such an assignment in the clergy; harm not the natives, but inhabit each of their islands with a mission and lead them to the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!" Truly to accomplish all this with so little and to come home to support the Faith, you will have to be it's staunchest believer in everything you do. God Bless and keep you, dear brother, you will need Him!
