You have chosen to go home to Europe in the hopes of seeing your family again.

With all the money from the sale, it was an easy journey back home, and home was not the same.

Apparently there had been a terrible disease that struck and killed a ton of people. It killed many of the noble people, and because of that feudalism was all but dead. I visited the town I came from and found a small city. Most of my family was dead but I had a sister who had survived and she filled me in.

Apparently the disease killed our old lords entire family, this freed our family from our obligation to serve him, Course many of the peasentry died as well.

Then there was the 100 year war between the English and the French (apparently it had been going on since before I was born). Some girl named Joan D' Arc helped liberate France from the English.

Of course I saw the failure of the crusades first hand.

What was most amazing however, was that many of the wonderful things we had in Jerusalem and Arabia were now available her in Europe. Apparantly crusaders had been bringing this stuff and ideas back with them. France, England, and Germany were all growing and clean. They had books and schools. People were paying artists to do more work. The peasentry were becoming more that peasants, in fact some of us "lesser Born's" were wealthier and more educated than the nobles. They came to us for advice, and money, which gave us power.

This Europe was more like Arabia, and I was glad I had come home to see my country and family (what remained of it anyway), and share the benefits of what I had seen.

Thus ends your journey.
