The Knights of Rhodes

1521 has arrived. A new year in a new world with new nations, new continents, new knowledge, and new rulers. Never before had so much power been gathered in such young hands. The tenth Sultan, the twenty-six-year-old Suleiman, ascends to his fathers throne in one of the worlds most powerful empires. The rest of the world hopes that the eastern threat has faded. Rhodes is Christendoms closest and most defiant outpost against the East. There the Knights of St. Johns Grand Master has died. Strife and treachery await his successor. Some hundred knights have the task to defend the outpost. Their Grand Masters motto is "Victory or Death."
