Alla Fine Del Mondo- To The End Of The World- A Pisan Republic AAR
Prologue
Prologue
Before Marco Polo and Sir John Mandeville, at the brink of the High Middle Ages, amongst the unknown and anonymous travelers to the Near East and the Far Orient, there came to be a family of Pisan Patricians, the Visconti Family of Sardinia. A tumultuous discovery, a family book passed from father to son, from brother to brother and to the chosen heir of the Familia Visconti, this tale is an account of the wish of a dying man to his progeny to prove right what was hushed down lest not to ire the wrath of the holy order of things.
Zealous or cynical, wroth or patient, ambitious or content, lustful or chaste, each heir of the Visconti sets to fulfill the family birthright, interwoven with the fate of the Republic of Pisa, one of the competing Maritime Republics of the age.
