Afonso VI was exiled to Monte Brasil, in Angra, by his brother Pedro, who became Regent. The people of Terceira feel his presence, but they don&#8217;t see the deposed king.&#13;\nThe younger members of the local nobility strut their stuff in the streets, believing they are future members of the Court. From Lisbon, ships set sail for Terceira, they bring news of a conspiracy to return Afonso to his throne. Spies from various European ports arrive in Angra, infiltrating the inhabitants of the Universal Stopover of the Atlantic.
