People were curious and decisive to explore science and numbers as the Moorish were, yet religion raised fear and confusion as to prevent them from going beyond the knowledge, just as what the neighboring countries of Christendom had implemented. When the mighty emperor of Aldhambra died because of a plague still unknown to many, inexplainable phenomena started to occur, thus causing the first huge rally in the history of the empire. What they wanted was a change of the royal family as the heir to the throne was perceived incompetent to rule. Lord Josiah of Swynwick castle, the richest man in nobility and the son of the late emperor's brother, was the best candidate to replace the crown prince.
