Imperialism Histoires

In the heart of the vast oceans, beyond the vibrant blue expanse, lies a place of breathtaking beauty known as Hawaiʻi Nei, the land of kamaʻāina, children of the earth.

The word "nei" means a sense of intimacy and belonging. It means our own . For Hawaii has, and always will be our own

In an age when maps can conquer more than armies, Elena Valenti learns to draw the world in secret. Born in sixteenth-century Venice to the royal cartographer of the Portuguese crown, she grows up among compasses and parchment - tools that decide the fates of nations. But Elena's gift is more dangerous than her father ever imagined: she alters the maps that feed empires, hiding villages, sacred sites, and entire peoples from the greedy eyes of kings. When her deception is exposed, Elena's world collapses. Her father is executed for treason, imperial fleets are dispatched to hunt her down, and the cartographers she once idolized become her fiercest enemies. Armed with nothing but ink, stolen charts, and a secret atlas written in codes no conqueror can read, she flees across oceans - pursued by soldiers, spies, and rival mapmakers who would kill for the knowledge she carries. From the markets of Lisbon to the gold-dusted cities of West Africa, from the palaces of Mughal India to the misty peaks of the Andes, Elena's journey becomes more than a flight for survival. It is a mission to rewrite the world itself. Along the way, she forges unlikely alliances - a priestess who encodes landscapes into song, a ronin who reads the sea like scripture, a rebel princess who believes maps are prisons. Each teaches her a truth the empires fear: that land does not belong to those who claim it, but to those who remember it. Sweeping from Renaissance Europe to the uncharted edges of the known world, The Mapmaker's Daughter is a story of courage and betrayal, ink and blood, and a young woman who turns cartography into rebellion. It is about how maps do more than chart the world - they define it - and how one woman dares to redraw its lines.

In an ancient matriarchal empire where cultivation power decides life and lineage, Yun Xueyan - a cold-blooded heir cast into a cruel novel's plot - must survive court intrigue, demonic bloodlines, and the obsessive love of an immortal elder sworn to break her frost-bound heart. As betrayal weaves through sect and palace alike, her only chance at freedom is to master the story's poison... or be devoured by it.

A century ago, the world was ravaged by famine, impurity, and greed. The 'gods' came down from the heavens to intercede and gave man an important task:To gather all the women and offer them to the gods. This was to restore balance on the world. The 'gods' built upon the new age of humanity and governed the new society to achieve perfection. Today, the world is divided based on function and this is the story the elders have passed down for decades. These 'god' are to be thanked. Birth is controlled. Children are educated and sorted. Death is mediated. Hardship is minimal. Life in the new age is close to perfect. Altus is an aspiring scouting scholar who yearns to seek the truth of their existence. He is finally assigned to his first batch of students where he encounters Dante who claims he is the heir to Dei's name (the highest 'god') and is requiring his assistance.

Short story project for my social studies class. I like it so far so I thought I would share it. (I still might delete it though idk yet) The book is exposed to be about Imperialism. Btw the story is fake. Not inspired by a real person in the time period (yes this might be obvious but I just want to point out just in case). The country that the main character lives in is not a country. just had a point that out sense I have not said the name of it.

The state of Affairs of Pakistani Society

A collection of political musings & analysis from an American citizen.

"Predators roam the wilds beyond civilizations struggling to survive a primordial age during a time of great upheaval. Empires clash against one another, enemies plot treachery by candlelight, and dragons slumber in distant lands. A prophesy warns of the return of Ouroboros the Tyrant filling each of the races with dread of what is to come. Turmoil sweeps across the many nations forging legend out of the growing chaos. Insurrections simmer amidst old hatreds bubbling up in the cauldron of fear spreading across the lands of Leviathia. Tales of fire and blood during an age when a Slayer shall arrive who will lead Levantia to their liberation. A black winged warrior who alone can slay the great tyrant who rules over all the dragons. This warrior is destined to end millennia's old cycle of destruction. Some fear this prophesy, others rely on it, but none know the truth of what is to come. Does salvation lies on the edge of this warriors sword or is the Slayer an omen heralding darker times to come if the dragons are defeated. Time is the greatest of warriors, and ages like dragons do not fall away without blood, tears, and sacrifice."
