{ARTESIAN_WELL_BODY}This first artesian well has been dug by the Carthusian monks in the town of Artois, France, so giving them there name. The technique uses percussion drilling in which a rod with a hard iron cutting edge is placed in the bore hole and repeatedly struck with a hammer, penetrating strata impermeable to water, and so reaching a lower layer of strata containing water under pressure. The water then rises in the bore hole and flows spontaneously out of it.

{ASSASSINS_BODY}A highly devout Ismaili sect leader, Hasan ibn-al-Sabbah, has taken control of the mountain fortress of Alamut for the al-Da'wa al-Jadida sect. To do this Hassan offered 3000 gold dinars to the fort owner for the amount of land that would fit a buffalo’s hide. The term having been agreed upon, Hassan then cut the hide in to strips and joined them all over along the perimeter of the fort. The fort has become known amongst the locals as al-Assas 'the foundation', and its followers as al-Assasin. They are mainly opposed to the Sunni sect, but are also known as Hashshashin or Assassins and their services can be purchase for non religious reasons.

{BLACK_DEATH_1_BODY}The dire plague that scholars have now dubbed 'The Great Mortality' is continuing its destructive trail through the west. Is the end truly nigh? Is this our judgement, and has the almighty finally decided that we are all too wretched to live?!
{BLACK_DEATH_1_TITLE}The Great Mortality
{BLACK_DEATH_2_BODY}Life in the civilised world has become more morbid and bleak than in known history. Every man woman and child is accustomed to the sight of their people stacked in piles before being burned... In the vain hope that the fires may cleanse this foul doom from the land.\n\nAlthough not everyone is falling victim to its deadly embrace, the plague is still decimating the population everywhere it travels.
{BLACK_DEATH_2_TITLE}The Great Mortality Spreads
{BLACK_DEATH_3_BODY}While the lands that were first stricken by the Great Mortality are beginning to discover a life beyond the plague, many places that had been spared this doom are now feeling its full effects.\n\nThough talk of this truly being the end is becoming less likely with enough survivors to prove the point, this creeping doom is still the most feared thing to stalk the lands of Europe for even the bravest of men, being dubbed "The Black Death" these days.
{BLACK_DEATH_3_TITLE}The Great Mortality Continues
{BLACK_DEATH_4_BODY}It would appear that the Black Death has worked most of its deadly misery upon the world, and that men of all faiths may have reason to make a prayer of thanks... We have been delivered!\n\nAside from some unfortunate destinations at the end of the major trade routes where the plague is a more recent tyrant, the risk of contracting the Black Death appears to now be negligible. Now those who rule the survivors may struggle over what remains of civilisation.
{BLACK_DEATH_4_TITLE}The Black Death Passes
{BLACK_DEATH_HITS_BODY}A plague of unfathomable proportions has made its way westward from the Far East, where it is said to have already ended an untold number of lives. The victims find their skin covered in dark blotches, as they enter a terrible fever and sickness which ultimately leads to a painful and miserable death.\n\nWhile scholars, theologians and physicians cannot agree on the exact cause of this deadly plague, the threat it poses men of all faiths is plain for all to see.

{FIRST_BLAST_FURNACE_BODY}A new way of working metal is now being practised in the village of Lapphyttan in Sweden, and adopted in western Europe. Housed in a great building, mighty water-driven bellows blast air into a furnace that produces a blaze so fierce and unworldly that the iron from within the ore flows out as a stream of molten metal!\n\nEven though the raw iron that pours from this new furnace is very brittle, vast amounts of the stuff can be made with relative ease, which a learned smith can then easily treat to produce incredibly resilient weapons and armour.

{FIRST_EUROPEAN_PAPER_BODY}Word is spreading across Europe on a new medium... Written on pressed paper! What has been an expensive luxury imported from the Middle East and beyond has now come to western Europe.\n\nA small mill devoted to pressing paper into sheets has been established in Xativa, south of Valencia. Although the ongoing Reconquista suggests that Islam is not welcome in Iberia, it is evident that some Muslim culture and innovations definitely are.

{FIRST_EYEGLASSES_BODY}Reports are coming in from northern Italy of scholars placing delicate glass lenses in a thin metallic frame to be worn on the face.

Aesthetes among the scholarly community are concerned that wearing such a contraption will result in being teased or shunned.

{FIRST_INQUISITION_BODY}The Episcopal Inquisition, the first of the Inquisitions, has been established to deal with all of the heretics in Catholic Europe by a papal bull entitled "Ad abolendam", "For the purpose of doing away with". Its main target is the Cathars in southern France. However it is left to the local bishops to administer, who often do not live within their own dioceses, so proves quite ineffective.

{FIRST_MAGNETIC_COMPASS_BODY}It has been discovered that an ore from the Asia Minor region of Magnesia that attracts iron, also can make a piece of that metal orientate itself to point to the north - as reliably as a devout Muslim would turn to face Mecca.\n\nThis strange phenomena has been captured in a small device known as a 'compass' that cartographers and navigators have begun embracing in earnest, claiming it will take much of the guess work out of the art of exploration and map making.

{FIRST_MECHANICAL_CLOCK_BODY}An elaborate new time-measuring device has begun to appear in several places around Europe that does not rely upon water or the light of the sun to work. Scholars have explained that it has been discovered that the motion of a swinging object can be used to drive the 'clock' mechanism.\n\nThose that have seen one of these new mechanical clocks have suggested making one large enough to see from a distance would be useful.

{FIRST_OIL_PAINTING_BODY}A Flemish painter, Jan van Eyck, is now championing an outlandish concept to produce paint created from seed oils rather than using tempera egg yolk. He claims that these 'oil paints' dry much more slowly, allowing the artist to take all the time needed to perfect each stroke and feature of their paintings.\n\nSome of the art establishment have declared that they are unconvinced as to the merits of oil paint, most likely because their specialised skills with tempera are about to become obsolete.

{FIRST_PIANO_BODY}With the Papacy no longer denouncing polyphony, the musical technique where two melodies are united, we are now in an age where aspiring musical artists are pioneering new ways to make heavenly music.\n\nThe most recent advent in the musical world is an instrument known as a spinet. A true modern mechanical marvel, the spinet is driven by row of black and white keys, just like a pipe organ, that when pressed strike varying notes on strings cased within. The sounds it produces are not so powerful or profound as the pipe organ, making it something a wealthy noble or merchant could have in their home.

{FIRST_PRINTED_BIBLE_BODY}The same clergymen that were denouncing the printing press have now made a total about face, hailing Gutenberg as a spreader of the faith. The first book Gutenberg's printing company has been commissioned to publish is the Holy Bible itself.\n\nWhether this came about as a result of Gutenberg fearing retribution from the Papacy, or because the Catholic church is one of the few establishments wealthy enough to finance such a project matters little - Bibles will soon be readily accessible to the common man& Even if he lacks the skills needed to read it.

{FIRST_PRINTING_PRESS_BODY}News has arrived from Mainz that a goldsmith named Johann Gutenberg has invented a machine capable of repeatedly printing an entire page of the written word. Called the 'printing press', this machine has rows of slots that hold raised letters on tiny metal blocks. So long as the letters are properly arranged into words and sentences, it is then a simple matter of pressing the metallic type onto ink, and then paper to do in moments what takes a scribe considerable time.\n\nThere are some members of the cloth already claiming that the mass-production of books may result in widespread literacy, which will in turn lead to the unsupervised consumption of heretical beliefs.

{FIRST_PUBLIC_CLOCK_BODY}The citizens of the city of Milan can now claim to be the most punctual in the known world, or at least, their overseers and taskmasters can claim to know when their workers are tardy. An expensive mechanical clock has been set atop a tower, so that everyone from prince to pauper may see the time displayed from the city streets.\n\nTypically, now that scholars and engineers have succeeded in creating a truly grand mechanical clock, the more malcontent members of the noble class have begun calling for a portable version of the device!

{FIRST_RUDDER_BODY}Arabic sailors have successfully adopted an old seafaring trick from the Far East, using a plate of wood called a 'rudder' at the rear of a ship to change its path through the water.\n\nSome outlandish notions are being raised by some of the more eccentric military strategists that suggest that wars will one day be waged at sea, and that the rudder is a vital step toward their vision being realised.

{FIRST_WATCH_BODY}At last an inventor has found a means to create a portable timepiece! Peter Henlein, a locksmith from Nuremberg has created a small clock being dubbed the 'Nuremberg Egg' for its oval shape. Once its spring mechanism inside its shell is wound, the 'egg' will display the hour, for almost two full days.\n\nDespite still being large enough to leave an incredibly unseemly lump in one's pocket, being seen in possession of one of Henlein's Nuremberg Eggs has become 'the' trinket to be seen to possess - for the few that can afford one.

{FIRST_WHEELBARROW_BODY}Tales of a clever invention from the Far East have recently inspired European peasants to come up with a simple labourer's aid they are referring to as the 'wheelbarrow' .\n\nBy placing a wheel at the front of a wooden stretcher, it has been discovered that a lone worker can move a heavy load of stone on their own, with little risk of injury. It could be as much of a boon for lords seeking to raise castles in quick time, as it will be for the serfs who shall have to build them.

{FIRST_WINDMILL_BODY}Reports are coming in from across Western Europe of engineers who have created a miracle mill that requires no stream or river to power it. Supposedly, man has found a way to let the very winds themselves drive massive mill mechanisms, simply by catching it in sails on beams of wood. While the Windmill's effectiveness reportedly dies as the winds do, to those living far from running water, it is sure to be considered a Godsend.

{FOOTBALL_BANNED_BODY}The Lord Mayor of London has issued a proclamation of the banning of some violent mob behaviour that the commoners seen enamoured with...\n\n"And whereas there is a great uproar in the City through certain tumults arising from the striking of great footballs in the field of the public - from which many evils perchance may arise - which may God forbid - we do command and do forbid, on the King's behalf, upon pain of imprisonment, that such games shall not be practised henceforth within this city."\n\nNow that this law has been passed, the establishment are confident that these 'football' events have no chance of becoming an obsession of religious proportions.

By only using a very small quantity of this material much light can be created accompanied by a horrible fracas. It is possible with it to destroy a town or an army ... In order to produce this artificial lightning and thunder it is necessary to take saltpeter, sulfur, and Luru Vopo Vir Can Utriet."\n\nOthers soon add to this, such as the Norwegian Konungs skuggsjá, where he mentions in its military chapter the use of "coal and sulphur" as the best weapon for ship-to-ship combat.\n\nHowever its not until the Moors use it for Cannons in there wars against the Spanish that its true power is seen.

His fascination with the science of flight has culminated in his 'Ornithopter' design.\n\nLooking something akin to a windmill sail atop a horseless carriage, many other scholars are laughing, suggesting da Vinci should go back to his concepts based upon attaching wings to the human body.

{SCIENCE_DE_DOCTA_IGNORANTIA_BODY}A Catholic scholar, Nicholas of Cusa has published a series of scientific and philosophical claims, bundled together under the somewhat arrogant title of De Docta Ignorantia - literally meaning, 'Of Learned Ignorance' .\n\nHis theories include the notion that the Earth is not the centre of the Universe, and that it actually orbits the Sun. Even more fantastical, he even attests that the stars of the night sky are actually distant suns themselves!

{SCIENCE_MATHS_ZERO_EUROPE_BODY}A mathematician from Pisa by the name of Fibonacci has published a new work entitled 'Liber Abaci'. He has adopted some Hindu-Arabic theories involving a number that has no value, claiming this is a vital step for making calculations on a grand scale.\n\nDespite managing to excite western scholars, the Liber Abaci's revelations offer few insights to the common man... who typically spends all his life dealing with things of 'no value'.

{SCIENCE_WEATHER_FORECAST_BODY}An aspiring English scholar by the name of Walter Merle claims that he is able to predict the weather - unlike the mystical ramblings of yesteryear's heretical pagans who claimed to have a spiritual insight into when the heavens will open up, Merle has stated he can do this simply by scientific observation.\n\nApparently Merle's predictions are correct more often than not, but his system is still being perfected. Surely it will only be a matter of months now before man knows exactly how the weather will behave.

{SPANISH_INQUISITION_BODY}The Inquisition starts in Spain and ultimately surpasses the earlier medieval Inquisition, in both scope and intensity. Conversos and New Christians are targeted because of their close relations to the Jewish community, many of whom are Jews in all but their name. Fear of Jewish influence led Queen Isabella and King Ferdinand to write a petition to the Pope asking permission to start an Inquisition in Spain. Tomas de Torquemada is the inquisitor-general for most of Spain, he sets tribunals in many cities. Also heading the Inquisition in Spain are two Dominican monks, Miguel de Morillo and Juan de San Martin.

{TEUTONIC_ORDER_BODY}After the loss of Jerusalem in 1187, some merchants from Lubeck and Bremen took up the idea and founded a field hospital for the duration of the siege of Acre, which became the nucleus of the Teutonic Order. Celestine III recognized it by granting the friars Augustinian Rule. Based on the model of the Knights Templar it is, however, transformed into a military order and the head of the order becomes known as the Grand Master (Magister Hospitalis). It receives Papal orders for crusades to take and hold Jerusalem for Latin Christianity and defend the Holy Land against the Muslim Saracens.\n\nHowever, it is the pagans of Lithuania, that will feel the full force of the Order’s zeal and the sting of their swords first.

{THE_GIRALDA_BODY}The rulers of Seville have completed a masterpiece of architecture – an enormously tall Minaret which is rumoured to be the tallest building on earth. The building is a composite of numerous cultures, including some Roman ruins. The tower is served by many ramps, which are wide enough for the muezzin to ride his horse to the top of when going to call the Adhan. It is an outstanding example of the Gothic and Baroque architectural styles.

{THE_MONGOLS_EMERGE_BODY}It is easy to become comfortable with the enemy you know, our familiar foes. But to discount the menaces that lurk beyond the known world is to risk a rude awakening that can become a nightmare. This nightmare is the Mongol invasion.

{THE_MONGOLS_EMERGE_KWAREZM_BODY}	Oh mighty Sultan, the Mongols led by their great lord Genghis Khan has arrived on out lands.  It seems he feels insulted by our actions and is intent on destroying us.

{MONGOLS_BLUE_HORDE_CAUCASUS_BODY}	A body of Mongol forces has thrust into the Caucasus, posing a threat to all states in the area.\n\nIn 1220, under orders from Genghis Khan, Subutai led a fierce, battle-hardened Mongol horde out of the steppes into the Caucasus on a reconnaissance mission. In that same year, they defeated a Georgian-Armenian army, many times the size of their own, at the Battle of Khunan. Subutai continued to plunder Georgian territory until, in 1221, his army was repulsed by another force of Georgians. The Mongols withdrew to the Caspian Sea and proceeded to march North into Cuman territory, where they now stand, ready to raid and destroy Cuman and Georgian lands alike. This is undoubtedly the toughest challenge any of the Russian or Caucasian states have faced. Can they withstand these fierce steppe warriors and maintain their freedom?\n\nHistorically, Subutai and the Mongols defeated a coalition of Rus/Kipchak forces in the Battle at the Khalka River, before returning to Genghis Khan and the main Mongol force in Asia. 
{MONGOLS_BLUE_HORDE_CAUCASUS_TITLE}	The Blue Horde Arrives in the Caucasus
{MONGOLS_BLUE_HORDE_KIEV_BODY}	A vast horde of battle-hungry Mongols has stormed into Kievan territories, slaughtering any who resist them.\n\n14 years after the initial raid on the Caucasus, the Mongols have returned in greater numbers with the single aim of destroying the Principality of Kievan Rus. Having annihilated the Volga Bulgarians and the Kypchaks, Batu Khan (leader of the invasion) leads his vast horde of fierce Mongol riders to the gates of Kiev. The horde seems unstoppable but were an alliance of Russian states to occur, they might halt the unforgiving advance of Batu and his army.\n\nHistorically, Batu and the Mongols mercilessly swept through Russia, sacking fifteen major cities and defeating any Kievan forces sent against them until, in 1240, after a long siege they finally sacked the capital, Kiev.
{MONGOLS_BLUE_HORDE_KIEV_TITLE}	The Blue Horde Returns
{MONGOLS_BLUE_HORDE_HUNGARY_BODY}	The Mongol Blue Horde continues to ravage across the land, now striking into Eastern Europe and threatening the kingdoms of Poland, Hungary and the Balkans.\n\nAfter the destruction of the Principality of Kiev in 1237/38, Batu Khan began the planning of the largest invasion yet. It’s target: Eastern Europe. The invasion began in 1241 and consists of two main forces – one striking into Poland and the other into Hungary.\n\nHistorically, the Mongol army in Poland annihilated Polish resistance in the Battle of Legnica and continued to pillage Silesia and other Polish territories, before combinging with the main Mongol forces in Hungary. This combined Mongol army inflicted a decisive defeat on the Hungarian King at the Battle of Mohi, before the Eastern Europe advance was halted due to the recalling of the major commanders (including Batu Khan) to Mongolia.

{MONGOLS_HORDE_BAGHDAD_BODY}	A huge Mongol Horde has set forth under the leadership of Hulagu Khan to attack the great city of Baghdad. In this they are aided by Christians as well, seeking to weaken the Muslim Infidels who occupy Bagdhad. These include Franks from Antioch, Georgians and a large force of Armenian infantry. The horde is the largest ever fielded by the Mongols and is a force to be feared by all, no matter how distant the threat might seem. Should the city fall, many fear for the works within its Great Library and the ancient architecture present within its walls.\n\nHistorically, the Mongols attacked with great ferocity and the city capitulated after a short and painless siege for the Mongols. Once inside the city, an orgy of bloodletting ensued, conducted with great efficiency by Hulagu Khan. It is estimated that hundreds of thousands of citizens were massacred within a single week and the Caliph and his family were publicly executed.

{THE_WHEELLOCK_BODY}	Wheellock was the next major development in firearms technology after the matchlock and the first self-igniting firearm. The mechanism is so-called because it uses a rotating steel wheel to provide ignition.The invention of the wheellock is sometimes credited to the German Johann Kiefuss of Nuremberg in 1517. However, this is impossible, as Kiefuss lived about 100 years later, and there are many references to wheellocks existing before 1517.
{THE_WHEELLOCK_TITLE}  Wheellock discovery
{THE_MATCHLOCK_BODY}	The Matchlock was the first mechanism or "lock" invented to uncomplicate the firing of a hand-held firearm. This design removed the need to lower a lit match into the flash pan by hand and made it possible to have both hands free to keep a firm grip on the weapon at the moment of firing, and more importantly to keep both eyes on the target.The famous Janissary corps of the Ottoman army were soon using matchlock muskets as early as the 1440s. The matchlock appeared in Europe some time in the mid-1400s, although the idea of the serpentine appears some 40 years previously in an Austrian manuscript. The first dated illustration of a matchlock mechanism dates to 1475, and by the 1500s they were universally used. Despite the appearance of more advanced ignition systems such as that of the wheellock and the snaphance, the low cost of production, simplicity, and high availability of the matchlock kept it in use in European armies until about 1720. It was eventually completely replaced by the flintlock as the foot soldier's main armament.
{THE_MATCHLOCK_TITLE}	Matchlock discovery
{THE_SNAPHANCE_BODY}	A Snaphance or Snaphaunce is another type of mechanism for firing a gun (or a gun using that mechanism).The snaphance first appeared in the late 1550s as a development of the earlier snaplock. The main improvement was that the pan-cover opened automatically (to keep the priming dry until the exact moment of firing), as in the wheel-lock. (The snaplock had a manually operated pan cover similar to that of the matchlock. Some definitions class the snaphaunce as a sub-type of snaplock.) Also like the wheel-lock, the snaphance used a lateral sear mechanism to connect trigger to cock. Later models had a variety of safety mechanisms to prevent accidental discharge of the gun.The snaphance was used from the late 1550s until modern times (in North African guns), but by about 1680 it was out of fashion everywhere except Northern Italy where it persisted until the 1750s. In Europe, and especially France, the snaphance was replaced by the flintlock with its combined steel/pan cover starting from about 1620. In England, a hybrid mechanism called the English Lock replaced the snaphance from the same date. Both the flintlock and the English lock were cheaper and less complex than the snaphance.
{THE_SNAPHANCE_TITLE}	Snaphance discovery
{THE_FLINTLOCK_BODY}	The simple serpentine of the arquebus has been replaced with a more advanced snaphance lock which uses a spring operated trigger or lever to lower the slow match into the priming pan which opens automatically (so keeping the priming dry until the exact moment of firing).  The firearm that utilizes this device is known as a Musket. (c. Mid 16th century)

{EE_ENGLAND_PEASANTS_REVOLT_BODY}	Due to the change in the law created by the Statute of Labourers (restricting labour movement and wages following the Black Death), the third Poll Tax, and what many see as a corruption within those who advise the king, a great unrest has happened within England.  This has culminated with a uprising of the peasantry within Essex and Kent, and them marching on London to demand a farer system of government, and the slaying of those most associated with the corruption - the High Chancellor, Archbishop of Canterbury, and the Lord Treasurer.  The end result of this was the execution of the leaders of the revolt, and its suppression, but briefly there was a moment when the king could have been overthrown, and the term Poll Tax was hence forth not to be used.

{CONCENTRIC_CASTLES_BODY}Fortifications design has entered a new era with the building of castles based on a concentric design. Unlike older square keep castles, concentric castles had no central keep, but a very heavily defended entrance and the central core being defended by a series of curtain walls. The outer curtain wall has the smallest height, while the inner curtain wall nearest to the castle being the highest, so giving the defenders the maximum advantage over those attempting to take over the castle.

{HANDGUN_BODY}Early handguns are short and stocky with a barrel length of 165mm and a bore of 15mm.  Manufactures soon learn though that an increased barrel length allows the gunpowder to completely burn before the bullet leaves the muzzle, and guns become about 375mm in length with a bore of 21mm.   Such weapons have no true stock, but are set on a wooden stave which is held under the arms while a smouldering match or hot wire is applied to the vent. (c. late 14th century).  Later versions use a stock and a simple matchlock firing mechanism called a serpentine,  
{HANDGUN_TITLE}Handgun Developed

{MATCHLOCK_BODY}A simple matchlock is a device called a serpentine which was essentially an "S" shaped piece of metal with a central pivot attached to the side of the gun. By pulling on the bottom half of the pivot you lowered the upper half, which held a burning slow match (hemp or cotton rope soaked in saltpetre) into a pan containing a priming charge of powder to fire the gun. This allows the shooter to place the weapon on his shoulder and use both hands to aim, while allowing him to concentrate on firing, rather than a match. The firearm that utilizes this device is known as the Arquebus. (c. Mid 15th century)  A variety of matchlock was also developed called the snapping matchlock, in which the serpentine was strongly spring-loaded, and released by pressing a button, pulling a trigger, or pulling a short string passing into the mechanism. As the match was often extinguished after its relatively violent collision with the flash pan, this type fell out of favour with soldiers, but is often used in fine target weapons.

{ADV_MATCHLOCK_BODY}The number of firearms in European armies begins to rise, while those who had previously dismissed the weapon are forced to re-evaluate their decision to ignore it in favour of shock and cold steel.

{VENETIAN_RUMOURS_BODY}Sire, our contacts in Venice have reported that the Venetians have been contracted to transport a large force of French soldiers to Egypt to fight another crusade. But the French are apparently unable to muster as large a force as was initially agreed upon. Needless to say, the Venetians are not happy at the prospect of not being paid. It is assumed that the crusade will crumble and possibly Venetian-French relations along with it.

{1101_CRUSADE_BODY}After the success of the First Crusade, a second wave of crusaders made their way towards the Holy Land. This small force continually gathered those who had not found their way to the Holy Land or who had abandoned the First Crusade. Encountering fearsome fighting in Anatolia, this Crusade was almost annihilated before reaching their objective. However the crusaders persevered and, under the guidance of the Norman noble, Stephen of Blois, finally arrived in the Holy Land. Their meager numbers did much to bolster the strength of the fledgling Crusader States, which had been in a state of constant warfare with invading Muslim armies coming from Egypt, Syria, and Persia.
