200 years after coming back from Jerusalem, the Knights Templar could only be safe in Portugal and Scotland. Powerful institutions turned against them. Having to escape persecutions, they look for the safe land to start over, the prototype of a country they had created 200 years before. They traveled home, to PortVsgRal and a new Era began, changing the world forever!
