1200AD
SALADIN: Legendary conqueror and ruler of Egypt, Syria, Mesopotamia and Palestine. He is very wise and clever. Under Saladin, the people of the middle east are unified and strengthened through commerce and custom. They are ultimately too strong for the invading European Crusaders. RICHARD: "the Lion Heart" King of England. Never at home, always on crusade in Palestine, Richard is a real glory hunter who wants the whole of Mondo to act and think just like English people.  MARION: Camp follower on the crusades. She is a delightful and entertaining member of Richard's huge travelling court. Despite the difficult conditions on the road, Marion always manages to look great at the evening banquet in the King's tent.
