  The year is 1806 – a baby boy has just been born in a small English coastal town. This child was born into a world without the lightbulb, without cars; a world in which only two years previously mankind had discovered that steam could be used to power a locomotive engine. This was a time of rapid change – the industrial revolution was beginning and one of the world's greatest and most inventive minds was about to make history. 
   
  He would become one of the leading figures of this new technological age, helping to bring the world out of the darkness of the previous centuries, and into a new era of progress. 
   
  He was a visionary – an engineer and inventor of unparalleled ingenuity and ambition. With his railway projects he would conquer rivers, mountains, and vast stretches of land. His oceanic projects would produce the largest and most powerful ships the world had ever seen – helping thousands of people to bridge the continents and bringing mankind closer than ever before. His architectural projects would serve as testament to the ingenuity of mankind and would stamp his legacy upon the landscape. But his legacy endures in more than his constructions and inventions – his genius would come to inspire whole generations of new engineers, architects, and scientists – his legacy lives on all around us. 
   
  So, join us now, as we trace his story from its very beginnings – join us on an exploration of the life and times of Isambard Kingdom Brunel.

  “A good boy like you deserves a treat.” A thin smile forms on Soren’s lips. 
  Alric steps forward and collapses upon his knees. His eyes widen as he gazes up at the gold talisman in Soren’s hands, the heavy sapphire in the center shimmering seductively. The incubus closes his eyes, channeling some sort of dark energy into the artifact. 
  Heart pounding, Alric watches as a vile monstrosity is released from the relic. This is his reward…his reward for committing perverse, wicked acts in his master’s name.

  British Empire - Details of the...

  The British Empire was an extensive network of dominions, colonies, protectorates, mandates, and territories ruled or administered by the United Kingdom and its predecessor governments. This sprawling empire evolved from England's early ventures into overseas territories and trading ports, beginning in the late 16th century and continuing through the early 18th century. The empire grew to become the largest in recorded history, dominating global affairs for more than a century. 
  The roots of the British Empire can be traced back to England’s desire to expand its economic and political influence, driven by competition with other European powers like Spain and Portugal, who were leading the Age of Exploration. These countries had established lucrative colonial empires in the Americas, Africa, and Asia, amassing great wealth and resources. Inspired by their success, England, along with France and the Netherlands, began establishing its own colonies and trading posts, particularly in North America, the Caribbean, and Asia. 
  During the 17th and 18th centuries, the British Empire grew in strength through a combination of military conquests, naval power, and strategic alliances. Following its unification with Scotland through the 1707 Act of Union, Britain emerged as a major colonial power, extending its control across vast regions. The empire's reach expanded dramatically after the series of conflicts with its rivals, including the Anglo-Dutch Wars and the long-standing hostilities with France, culminating in Britain's dominance over North America and its influence over global trade routes.
