  Medieval Conspiracy Theories:...

  Few eras are easier to let the imagination run wild than the Middle Ages, which have often been coined the Dark Ages based on a perceived lack of progress and information.[1] Indeed, we can say that it is not completely unfounded because we know less about that historical period compared to those that come after it. In addition, it is a period marked by a great number of deaths caused by plague epidemics, crusades, and inquisitorial persecutions. Often, researchers are not even sure how and why certain events happened, and these mysteries still occupy the attention of historians. 
  	This era was very harsh, difficult, and often gloomy. In that greyness, burdened by various fears, people were looking for something that would light up their lives and bring them a feeling of beauty and joy. People experienced all things and events around them more intensely than people do today. They often exaggerated the events that happened, giving them a mystical and divine character. For this reason, medieval sources are taken with a grain of salt and are first carefully examined before believing.  
  	At the same time, some historical mysteries about the era may never be solved, if only because the relevant excavated material has been lost or the archaeological site has been destroyed. In other cases, it is because new evidence is unlikely to emerge, or the surviving evidence is too vague to lead to a consensus. Of course, the lack of answers only makes these enigmas more intriguing. 	For example, the topic of witchcraft in Europe, once considered marginal and even frivolous, has become the subject of international debate among historians since the early 1970s. However, only a few of the many studies have paid attention to the sabbath - the nocturnal gathering of witches and sorceresses - even though the sabbath is clearly of crucial importance in the history of witchcraft and witch-hunting.

  By the sea of many islands, right at the edge of where the Desert of the Red Sands meets the Desert of the Black Sands, once lay the city of Gurganj, where a sly thief is sent on an errand by her Empress, to retrieve the one magical fruit missing from her garden. Bravely, the young woman sets out on her mission, but only the special juices of a witch, flowing freely from between her legs, will be able to help her withstand the perils of her quest. 
  As our young heroine travels deep into the desert, to retrieve the one fruit for her Queen that was still missing in the Palace Gardens, she encounters a fruit of a very different kind. There, at the harshed and unlikeliest of places, a princess lay sleeping, waiting to be awoken from her ancient curse by the tongue, lips and caresses of a daring, young traveller who longs for nothing more than to taste the flowing juices of her wet holes. 
  Returning from her travels, our heroine discovers that her true destination has been hidden in the Palace Gardens all along, right between the soft, milky white legs of her beloved Queen. Was the magical fruit hidden between her flowery petals all along? And is it ripe for the plucking? For Nilgoon, the time had come to find out.
