Cathay and the Orient

Members of the Honourable East India Company, and others, made journeys almost every turn to the Far East and Cathay in particular. There follows a relatively complete account of the events in those distant lands.

• Turnsheet 0 and 1 - In which the first clues to the origin of gunpowder are found and the first journey to the Spice Islands is made.
• Turnsheet 2 - In which Cathay is explored, an ambassador is acquired, and plague affects business.
• Turnsheet 3 - In which the Cathay becomes chaotic, the gunpowder factory is sighted, and trade with the Spice Islands is established.
