you will play as a ALTERNATIVE version of Schezerade from 'ONE THOUSAND AND ONE NIGHT'..


Author's Note: in this earlier "ficticious" version of the tale of Scheherazade,she has become a Christian 2 years after having fled to Turkey from the ruler in the original text.the year is 178 A.D,about 50 years before Christianity becomes a "thing" in the Persian empire.in this version Scheherazade having fled westward,she ends up in Asia Minor where she meets christian women in one of the many churches well established (by the apostle Paul 110 years prior),in one of the towns she has fled to in Anatolia (ancient Turkey),far away from her murderous ex-husband (which btw she was married to one week before he changed his mind and tried to murder her like the rest prior to that.) after two years of knowing the christ,being around christians 24/7,going to Bible School,etc,one of her church leaders Thomas,tell her that in a dream that Jesus has spoken to him recently to spread the Christian faith eastwards, to PERSIA,the very same country that YOU fled from, where your powerful ex-husband still is, but the way to there is dangerous! not so full of fear and anxiety anymore but still somewhat hesitant you agree to join Thomas and a selection of the best christian leaders ever lived on your way to help you serve God.and here is where your mission starts as a believer in this game you TRY to make SURE Christianity will grow so STRONG not just in Persia before the hordes of Mecca invades in the future 7th century by starting a domino effect in time that eventually will reach the king of Persia so he will defend Persia at any cost with Christianity as his main force of resistance before it's too late! but HOW you will do it is up to you (and God?).there are several ways to do this but there are also many ways to fail so w "puzzle" elements of tactical DECISIONS while being mixed w the world of craziness from the tales of o.t.a.o. nights.but this time you and your allies have powerful CHRISTIAN "magic/spells" of prayer/worship/angelic assistance to protect/aid u against your many foes!
