Setting Background Description
Transport yourself to the Age of Exploration, a pivotal era in the late 15th to early 17th centuries, marked by European adventurers venturing into uncharted territories across the globe. This period was characterized by breathtaking voyages across the seas, driven by the pursuit of riches, trade routes, and new lands. The invention of navigational tools such as the compass and advancements in shipbuilding allowed explorers to traverse vast oceans, leading to the discovery of the Americas, unexplored islands, and new trade partners.
Famous figures like Christopher Columbus and Ferdinand Magellan undertook historic voyages that changed the course of human history. Settlements began to sprout in newly discovered lands, leading to the establishment of colonies that would reshape cultural exchanges. Every journey was filled with peril, from treacherous storms to encounters with indigenous peoples, and the quest for treasure became synonymous with adventure. As explorers pushed the boundaries of the known world, they relied on maps (or atlases) to guide their expeditions, with many becoming pioneers in their own right.
