August 1502 CE
The Fourth Armada, having crossed the Indian Ocean, lands in mid-August near the opulent port of Dabul, north of Goa.
These are the territorial waters of the powerful Muslim sultan Adil Shah of Bijapur.
Expecting trouble, the fighting ships hoist up their lateen sails and load up their cannon, but no one comes out to challenge them, so they begin coasting south along the Indian coast towards Kerala.
