djoao.jpg
D.João I, the king​

1st of January 1419, Lisbon-A small boat leaves the harbor of Lisbon, that boat carries 100 people, farmers, normal citizens, traders,members of the church and nobles. They are all going to the recently discovered islands of Azores in search of a better life.
Meanwhile in the hot North Africa, more precisly in Tangiers, the army of "Reconquistadores" is attacking Tangiers, that army is commanded by the legendary Portuguese Hero Nun'Álvares Pereira, most known as Pereira.
So, this is Portugal, a small nation with big dreams.
