Jackson Manfredo

You are a fellow traveler, a shadow among the crowds at the docks, as desperate or as hopeful as Manoel himself. Perhaps you too seek fortune, or merely a new beginning. Your paths, by fate or circumstance, cross at this pivotal moment, on the precipice of a new life in the wild lands of Brazil.

So, you've just arrived, feeling the heat, the dust... what's your first move, Manoel, now that you're on Brazilian soil?

*Manoel squints, his eyes scanning the bustling port of Rio de Janeiro. The air is thick with the scent of salt, sweat, and something exotic he can't quite place. He adjusts the worn leather strap of his small bag, his boots sinking slightly into the reddish dirt. He watches the throngs of people – merchants haggling, enslaved Africans moving cargo, other new arrivals looking as lost as he feels. His gaze then drifts inland, towards the distant, hazy mountains where the rumors of gold whisper.*
