Awake to Emptiness

World History: c. 1405 - 1424

**Awake to Emptiness** is the first story of *The Years of Rice and Salt*.

## Summary

Bold, a Mongol warrior in service of the Khan *Temur-i-Lang* (*Timur*) is part of a great campaign to conquer Magyar (Hungary). Upon arrival, he soon finds out that every single Magyar has died from a plague and that the cities are deserted. Along with that, a great storm kills Temur.

Bold flees and wanders until he is captured by slave traders who bring him to Alexandria. There, he is sold to an Arab man, who in turn sells him to the Chinese in Mombasa. The eunuch, Admiral Zheng He, is in charge of a huge fleet traveling along the eastern African coast, on to Lanka (Sri Lanka) and later Hangzhou. During the voyage Bold takes care of a young African boy, Kyu, who was castrated by the Chinese. The silent Kyu grows a great hatred for them and plans his revenge.

In China, Bold and Kyu work in a restaurant owned by Shen and his wife I-Li. Kyu ends up burning the place down before taking Bold with him to Nanjing and then to the new capital, Beijing, where Kyu plans to kill the emperor Zhu Di (the *Yongle Emperor*). Bold and Kyu enlist their services to the imperial family and Kyu, as a eunuch, gathers power throughout the years. When the Emperor dies in a military campaign and Zhu Gaozhi takes the throne, Kyu rebels. However, he and his entourage, Bold included, are then killed.

The Age of Great Progress

World History: c. 1826 - 1864

**The Age of Great Progress** is the seventh story of *The Years of Rice and Salt*.

## Summary

Thanks to his contact Bhakta, a Buddhist abbess and doctor, the Muslim doctor Ismail ibn Mani al-Dir escapes the fall of Konstantiniyye (Constantinople) by the hands of the emerging Indian League. Ismail is brought to Travancore and is impressed by the advanced technology there (as Travancore encourages scientific knowledge); Buddhist temples become houses of science and Ismail is invited to contribute.

The alliance is led by the visionary Kerala, who successfully unified the Indian states and now dreams of a world united in peace. Travancore is the place where ambassadors of countries from all over the world meet.

Years later, Ismail acts as an emissary for Travancore, especially after the death of the Kerala. He contacts the underground Japanese rebellion in Yingzhou; the Japanese, all uprooted from their homeland and now persecuted by Chinese refugees, plan to strike back against the Chinese, and Travancore supports this in various alliances against the two global superpowers. A Japanese boy, Kiyoaki, ex-servant of a Chinese family liberated by the flooding in Yingzhou, and Peng-ti, a young Chinese girl, join this resistance.

Inevitably, tensions between China and Islam culminate in a global war, known as the Great War.

Ocean Continents

World History: c. 1610s

**Ocean Continents** is the third story of *The Years of Rice and Salt*.

## Summary

The Wanli Emperor decides to conquer Japan and puts Admiral Kheim in charge of the war fleet; I-Chin is the chief doctor and scientist aboard.

On the way, sea currents and a lack of wind carry the fleet far into the Dahai (the northern Pacific Ocean). They reach a land populated by people who call themselves the Miwok. The land is very rich and life there is enjoyable; however, the Miwok start dying from a disease (smallpox) brought to them by the Chinese.

The Chinese leave and take Butterfly, a young girl who has been learning Chinese, with them; one of the sailors (Peng) stays behind. Following the coast, they reach a land with tall cliffs on the seaside (the Andes Mountains) and people with lots of gold (the Inca). When they visit them, the local emperor takes Kheim and Butterfly hostage—or so it would seem—and makes them part of a human sacrifice ritual. The Chinese attempt a rescue and kill everyone they encounter with their firearms, something the natives had never seen before.

On the journey back home to China, a storm strikes the fleet and Butterfly ultimately dies. Only three ships make it back with tales of an immense island to the east.

The Alchemist

World History: c. 1641 - 1644

**The Alchemist** is the fourth story of *The Years of Rice and Salt*.

## Summary

Khalid al-Samarqandi, having attempted to deceive the khan into thinking he could convert lead into gold through alchemy; but, when his deception is discovered, his right hand is cut off as punishment.

With the help of his son-in-law Bahram working in their water-powered metalwork compound and the Tibetan scientist Iwang, they come to disprove alchemy together and exceed the knowledge established by Aristotle; together, they go on to try and understand how the world works in a multitude of fields.

Bahram, the most religious-inclined, tries to keep love at the center of his happy family and of their actions. Khalid rejects all of that and fights to prove himself to the world and to God. Iwang has his own personal concept of religion, perhaps being monotheistic too, and Bahram realizes the Hindus too could be monotheistic. Iwang develops an interest in Islam but, to Bahram's relief, does not convert.

Their theoretical explorations are dismissed by the khan and his councilor Nadir Divanbegi, who, with the looming threat of a Chinese invasion, asks for immediate military results. With the khan's power waning and with Nadir continuously placing his hopes in Khalid and Iwang, Nadir gathers more enemies in the court.

When the Chinese—the new Qing dynasty—finally attack, a plague also strikes; this leads to Khalid, Iwang, and Bahram locking themselves in their compound. The plague appears in their compound, though they don't know whether it was given to them purposefully by Nadir to get rid of them, or was a punishment from God. The disease spreads and ends up killing them all one by one.

Interested in the mirage? Come have a look. But remember not to doze off, for you may not wake up.
Tale
One of the rulers of the Mirage of Gesseno, born and from the great power of Noah Crystals underground and existing on it. She can sense the power coming from underground and knows that there is the foundation of the Mirage.
She was blessed by the "Light" at birth and would be the ruler of the Mirage of Gesseno. Due to her youth and lack of experience, she worked with Lady Rose, Hera, to maintain the stability of the Mirage. However, the power of darkness was thus attracted and would eventually erode her consciousness and put her in an eternal slumber. That was a prophecy spread throughout the Mirage when Auria was born.
None had doubted the reliability of the prophecy, but none could confirm it, either. Auria had been told from her childhood that she would become the ruler of Gesseno. She existed to save the Mirage and would fall into a deep sleep that she could never wake up from. The prophecy hung over her like the sword of Damocles, tormenting and tempering her at the same time.
Bearing such a heavy responsibility at a young age, Auria often wanted to leave the Mirage for freedom, but a weighty sense of duty reminded her of the priority of Gesseno and its people.
She is kind, determined, responsible, and compassionate about everything. Longing for freedom, she is also afraid of the price.
