Abstract:
The Adventurers provides a new, fresh perspective on an important part of history. Promises of rumored riches lead a 16th century European adventurer and his followers to the new world only to find an overwhelming force of warriors confronting them. They belong to a ruthless and barbaric empire that exists solely through dictatorial methods over less powerful nations. Traveling inland, they hear pleas for relief from unjust demands of taxation and tribute, and the adventurers promise help. When they reach the empire capital, they see thousands of warriors and wonder how their small army can overthrow them. .
