It's the future: the small kingdom of Versailles, in what could have been a united France, lies on the border between the impoverished Christian regions of northern Europe and the flourishing Muslim-dominated world to the south. The industrial revolution never happened, men with sharp spears are still a valuable part of armies, and slavery is still commonplace.
