Outcast on Broadcast

Dear Time Traveler,

My name is Zoraida and I am the lesser lord of Huffmania. I've noticed that you are not from here, so I have been watching you recently and you have some strange ways; ways that my people are not familiar of. My lord and our people have not noticed yet but once they do you will have some terrible consequences for your non-Huffmanian acts. My advice for you to remain under cover and unnoticed is for you to:
  • If you choose to become a serf do not leave your manor
  • If you choose to marry make sure she is not taken and you go to her father or lesser lord beforehand
  • Always pay your taxes
  • Learn and follow the codes of chivalry.

I have to give you acudos for at least dressing like us, but follow these instructions and should have no problems during your adventure. Be safe and enjoy our manors (You never received this letter from me, burn it and never mention of this to anyone).

Cleopatra VII

Cleopatra had many goals for Egypt which included winning back lands that Egypt had once held in Syria and Palestine. In order to do this she needed help, so she went to seek help from the Roman conqueror Julius Caesar. She wanted his help because he was in control of Rome the strongest power in the Mediterranean.



After much chaos and commotion a war broke out in Rome, Octavian vs. Cleopatra VII and Anthony. After the war rumors were spread and Anthony and Cleopatra both ended up committing suicide. Cleopatra was very serious about being a good ruler for Egypt one example was that she dated plenty of men with power to help her country and help her keep power.
