Defending the Ivory Throne

After being in the first century for ten years, both Paul and John have amassed political power.
In Africa, Paul has become a King. His rise to power has brought technological marvels that were not seen in the previous timeline until the 19th century. Alongside the rise to power, Paul has made special care to build schools in order to educate the young people in reading, writing, science, technology, and loyalty to Paul. This rise to power has necessitated political entanglements and brutality. Despite the loyalty Paul has tried to instill in his people, some of his closest allies are betraying him, and he must defend his throne.
In first-century Texas, John craves the life of a homesteader, but his knowledge, abilities, and the modern crops he transported from the twentieth century has put him in the position of leadership. In order to foster peace between the tribes, John has created a trade alliance where peace is significantly more profitable than war. This is giving John the time needed to finish what he considers his great life-work; the domestication of the American Buffalo.
