Its 1584AD ( or thereabouts) and King Charles VIII has sent his Spanish Armada
up the Coast
to conquer NOT England and Wales
which he has no interest in wasting ships and troops on
but the northern end of Scotland and surroundings
Queen Elizabeth the First
Francis Drake
William Shakespeare
and various other Royal Courtiers of England and Scotland
are milling around
the other
Xing Wa Sky Castle craft
accessible from land approach.
Pieter Paul Ruebens the Belgian Painting Master is there
as well as
Doctor John Dee
a Elizabethan courtier and dabbled in the dark arts
is also there
and Thomas Cromwell and his soldiers
have cannon and mortars positioned on top of the nearby hills
to repell any Spanish invaders
who might wish to capture this
Xing Wa Sky Castle
for the Holy Roman Empire
As you can imagine most of these higher up Elizabethans are
just as clueless on what
a Xing Wa Sky Castle
is then the surrounding peasant populace
but the Spanish Armada is forcing Elizabeth the First
and her most trusted inner circle to
open the sealed manuscripts to other specialists
in Europe and England
