Before the Beginning

Before coffee can be forbidden, banned and criminalized, there are things that have to happen.

There was an earthquake, and one of Usame’s volcanoes had an ash eruption.
Everybody was scared. Many thought the gods’ were angry.

A shaman found an explanation while meditating: coffee is an addiction which undermines people’s health. This addiction caused the gods’ wrath, and therefore the earthquake and the volcano ash.

A sly leader takes advantage of the situation: Arbusht’o forbids, bans and criminalizes coffee trading and consumption. He gives a coup d’état. He asks for special powers to handle the crisis, and for money to train more soldiers and make more weapons.
