Hi Steve first off big fan of Lion Blood and Zulu Heart, but since you have not written anymore in that world and setting so I have taken apond myself to create my own series,
I'm using Abbasid Caliphate for my southern Isamic nation that claims the southern parts of America and Egypt Empire for the North.
Now in Europe most of it's slave source of Caliphs of Bagdad and other oversea colonies, but they bump heads with the Chinese Empire in there slave dealings, and Japanese Empire as well.
The Egypt empire on the other hand has allied it sell with most of African kingdoms and nations such as Abyssinia,
The Shah of Persia owns he power to the Caliph of Bagdad,
Also this version of White slaves have kept Latin as there slave speech, due to the simple fact that those Islamic and Eqyptian masters they consider Latin to gutteral to speak in cultured company Greek yes Latin no,
I'm also adding Mormon touches to my slave Chirstianity, like how they go to this America's Utah to build this world's first Cadtheral.
I could use some help on this?,
LW

What is your jumping off point? Where does history turn? How do you speed Africa's development up, and slow Europe's down...and this requires a solid theory of how cultures develop in the first place. In other words, why, in our world, did Europe conquer Africa rather than the other way around? Those would be my first questions.
