Siam 1650

An anachronistic alternate Thailand in the 1650s in the setting for my next game.

Some interesting background about 17th century Siam:

• Europeans travelled there in great numbers as sailors, merchants, missionaries, ambassadors, company employees, artisans, and just plain old adventurers. 
• The capital city, Ayutthaya, had over 1 million in habitants and was one of the wealthiest and most cosmopolitan cities in the world. 
• Threats surround the kingdom with Burma threatening to invade from the west, Lanna raids from the north, and internal city state rebellions from within. 
• Great wars are fought with Elephants. 
• Magic Tattoos
