Pirates of the caribbean the fountain of youth. Is a rumoured title for the fourth pirates film. Although there are many who would like it to atleast be in production currently very little is known on this project. Although Johnny Depp has stated that he would love to re-take his role as the famous Captain Jack Sparrow, there are rumours that he has been payed $40-$45 million to play Jack Sparrow in the Fourth film.
Keira Knightly and Orlando Bloom however will not be continuing with the movie franchise. Keira stated that she has been involved with the movie franchise sinse she was 17 and now wants to move on to different things.
Co-writer Terry Rossio stated within a online interview that the fourth Pirates film
"It's like the fourth Indiana Jones picture - there are forces in play to make it happen, and forces in play to make it not happen. I think we will try to write a screenplay. I can't say if we'll be able to solve the challenge of making a good fourth film, or if our screenplay will be enough to get a film made"
And this appears to be all that is currently known of the movie franchise. With many rumours going around it is difficult to know what is true and what is false.
----
Rumours
There are a large number of rumours around which are still yet to be verified. These include, there will be no fourth film. The fourth film will be a spin off and Barbossa and Jack will both be in the fourth film. These are only a small number of rumours.
----
Possible Plot.
When watching Pirates of the caribbean at worlds end. The very jack scene sees Jack Sparrow with the navigational charts. When he turns the charts he makes the words Ponce De Leon and Aqua De Vida. When researching into the words Ponce De Leon and Aqua De Vida. The Words Aqua De Vida mean "The fountain of youth" Which is also mentioned in the final scene of the film by Captain Barbossa. The words Ponce De Leon are actually the famous Spanish conquistador Ponce De Leon. Who, in his memoirs stated that he was searching for the fountain of youth, which according to Ponce De Leon is located within Florida. Does this mean the fourth movie may be in olden florida? We will just have to wait and find out.

The sartman are a cult of people who follow the laws of Zoroastrian/ christian occult. They believe that it is there job to keep the balance between good and evil and various other things. Within the cult, there are various positions and ranks that a person can be:
The most important people in the group are on the council. This consists of 11 members:
-The Emperor
-The Master of peace
-The keeper of the code
-Master of war
-The Bookkeeper
-The Astrologer
-The Numerologer
-The Scribe
-The writer of the prophecy's (x2)
When a member of the council dies, the position is passed on to usually their next of kin, but if before the member dies, they wish for someone else to be on the council, then that is what happens.
The Sarta Codex
The Sarta codex is the rules that the sartmans follow. It, as well as containing rules, says many other things about the cult, including Funerals, rights and war. In order to get around the codex, it is devided up into sections:
- Section 1 - War
- Section 2 - The Council
- Section 3 - The rights of a sartman (norman uk rights still apply)
- Section 4 - Life and Death
- Section 5 - Fair Trial
- Section 6 - Education
- Section 7 - Book of Geoffrey
- Section 8 - The book of knowlege.
The sartman have also made it the law that in order to fully join, you would have to be born into occultism (or just been an occultist for a very long time) or, a prophet. If you turned occultist so you could become a sartman, then you would be slightly looked down on by the members.
Key beliefs
One of the main beliefs of the sartman is that Jesus will return in the year 5000 when the synergy takes place. Sartmans are very proud of their religion and see themselves onlookers of all other religions. Despite the fact they have an emperor, they do not agree with religious leaders having too much power.
Another key sartman belief is how life is set out. They believe that everyone has a default path that is made up of decisions. If you make a different decision to your life path, then you have gone astray.
They also believe that the nazcar lines open up a portal to the (15th dimension.) And when Jesus retunes, he will bring the armies of heaven and he with him, to take the good and bad people to the appropriate places (heaven and hell.)
Practices
The sartman magi practice most occultic activities such as astrology, numerology and high magick. Despite how proud they are of their cult, they do not tend to brag to the non-occult. When they are doing magick, they tend to do what they call "Circle Casting". Circle casting is where you design a magick circle (to suit your needs best) and then, using the circle, cast the spell.

Theocracy of Rogue Protoss
History
History has it that the Protoss were orignally created by the Xel'Naga a pantheon of ancient gods. we now know them to have been an advanced race bent of aiding other races to achieve their true potential
The Xel'Naga were initially revered as gods, as the Protoss looked towards their creators with respect and a lust for knowledge. However, as the understanding and personal awareness of the young Protoss grew, they began to place greater pride in individual achievements rather than the benefit of the community.
The tribes began to fear treachery from their masters, and in seeking to sever themselves from the rest of their race, attempted to lose the psychic link that they shared. This dissolved whatever remnants of brotherhood or unity that the Protoss had shared. Feeling that the greatest attribute of the Protoss was lost, the Xel'Naga began withdrawing from Aiur. However, the suspicious Protoss responded with an attack on the Xel'Naga Worldships, which fended off the hasty attack and left the system. The Protoss Tribes then turned against each other, beginning what is now known as the Aeon of Strife, a devastating civil war that lasted hundreds of years.
The war was finally ended by a Protoss named Khas, who had rediscovered the teachings and technology of the Xel’Naga. Using his discoveries, which he called the Khala, he was able to restore the psionic link with most of the Protoss. With this done, he divided the Protoss into three castes; the Judicator Caste (Politicians), the Templar Caste (Warriors), and the Khalai Caste (Workers and Artisans).
The Rogue Tribes
The Dark Templars were exiled from the Protoss homeworld long ago for their refusal to follow the dogma of Khala. Instead, they have wandered the world, learning new ways to channel their formidable martial powers. These beings are enigmatic and distant, but are not the demons some would make them out to be. Indeed, upon learning of the attack on Aiur, the Dark Templars have returned to protect their homeworld and race from the onslaught of the infidels and lesser races. Whether their service will be appreciated by the Protoss hierarchy remains to be seen.
Philosophy
Protoss religion takes its roots from the wars that plagued Aiur following the retreat of the Xel'Naga. United under the teachings of Khas after several generations of warfare, the Protoss began to adhere to Khas's teachings of the "Khala", or Path to Ascension. When Protoss warriors die in battle it is believed that they have reached the "Khala's End."
* Khala ("Path of Ascension"): This is a personal philosophy that emphasizes inner peace and communal brotherhood. It is also reflected in the caste system of the Protoss where all the castes are different but equal and working towards the same goal.
* Dae'Uhl ("Great Stewardship"): This is the official policy that the Protoss developed concerning other races encountered. It is a strict code that above all protects life, while simultaneously mandates an inarguable policy of non-interference with the races they watch over.
Castes
The Judicator Caste is primarily responsible for the functions of Protoss government. Their elites meet in the Judicator Assembly, which is headed by the Conclave, a small core of Elders. The lower members of the caste fill most roles for administration and bureaucracy for the Protoss. They tend to be highly organized, deferential to those in authority, and a bit uptight (even among the Protoss).
The higher members of the Judicators are extremely powerful. The elites make decisions in secret and have the power to order Templar forces into battle. As with any bureaucracy, their motives may remain mysterious and are in danger of being corrupted. But most Judicators believe they act to protect the Protoss race and will do any to achieve that goal.
Some of the Judicators have been chosen to crew the powerful Arbiter warships. The Judicators use these vessels to lend their hand to the Templars in times of war and, most likely, to keep a presence of authority over the Templars as they carry out their campaigns.
Protoss citizens are as diverse as any sentient race that actively pursues intellectual growth, domestic harmony and spiritual development. They are scientists, industrialists, teachers, merchants, parents, neighbors. The Protoss have a deep sense of pride, and most believe that they are a superior race, destined for greatness in the world.
PROTOSS TRIBES
United under the disciplines of the Khala, the old Protoss Tribes together strive to protect and advance their species. With the Judicators serving as the ruling caste, the Templars filling military needs, and the Khalai forming the industry and bulk of citizenry, the Protoss society functions with a well-developed efficiency maintained by a rigorous adherence to dogma and conformism.
Ara Tribe
Caste: Judicator
Station: Conclave Praetor Guard
The first to follow the teachings of Khas, the Ara control who will serve upon the elite Conclave Council. Despite its revolutionary origins, the Ara now seems cemented in the dogma of the Khala. It will pursue Protoss protectionism and interests without hesitation.
Akilae Tribe
Caste: Templar
Station: High Templar Command
During the Aeon of Strife, the Akilae warriors brutally dominated the other Protoss castes. With the rise of the Khala, the Akilae learned a new sense of honor and discipline, ceding control to the Judicators and pledging their armed might to protecting all Protoss regardless of Tribe. The Akilae now lead the Protoss forces into any battle against their species’ enemies. The Akilae fight honorably and willingly die to protect Protoss interests.
Shelak Tribe
Caste: Judicator
Station: Librarians, Keepers of the Khaydarin Crystals
The ancestral Shelaks were the closest to the Xel’Naga and retain responsibility for maintaining the remnants of knowledge from that ancient race. Today, the Shelak also study the properties of the Khaydarin Crystals and discover new uses for the Protoss.
Sargas Tribe
Caste: Dark Templar
Station: Enforcers/Assassins
Always fiercely independent and resistant to the imposition of the Khala dogma, the Sargas stand a bit aside from all other Protoss Tribes. Less controlled by the Judicators and less rigid than the Akilae, the Sargas also have a long tradition of skill in the martial and stealthy arts. As such, they have become known as the assassins of the Protoss.
Auriga Tribe
Caste: Templar
Station: Protectors of the Great Fleet
From the Protoss’ infancy, the Auriga have always been the first to construct vessels of exploration and scout into the unknown darkness of the wilds. On Aiur, the Auriga were the first to circumnavigate Aiur, and the first to launch rockets into orbit. Today, the Auriga continue to produce the best pilots and mechanics of the Protoss starships. They are fiercely loyal to the Judicator leadership.
Furinax Tribe
Caste: Khalai
Station: Weaponsmiths and Technologists
Though not warriors, the Furinax are the brilliant engineers and weapons technologists that arm the Protoss military. The Furinax are masters of developing new techniques to merge machines, the Khaydarin Crystals.

With the rise of the Khala, the Akilae learned a new sense of honor and discipline, ceding control to the Judicators and pledging their armed might to protecting all Protoss regardless of Tribe. The Akilae now lead the Protoss forces into any battle against their species’ enemies. The Akilae fight honorably and willingly die to protect Protoss interests.
Shelak Tribe
Caste: Judicator
Station: Librarians, Keepers of the Khaydarin Crystals
The ancestral Shelaks were the closest to the Xel’Naga and retain responsibility for maintaining the remnants of knowledge from that ancient race. Today, the Shelak also study the properties of the Khaydarin Crystals and discover new uses for the Protoss.
Sargas Tribe
Caste: Dark Templar
Station: Enforcers/Assassins
Always fiercely independent and resistant to the imposition of the Khala dogma, the Sargas stand a bit aside from all other Protoss Tribes. Less controlled by the Judicators and less rigid than the Akilae, the Sargas also have a long tradition of skill in the martial and stealthy arts. As such, they have become known as the assassins of the Protoss.
Auriga Tribe
Caste: Templar
Station: Protectors of the Great Fleet
From the Protoss’ infancy, the Auriga have always been the first to construct vessels of exploration and scout into the unknown darkness of the wilds. On Aiur, the Auriga were the first to circumnavigate Aiur, and the first to launch rockets into orbit. Today, the Auriga continue to produce the best pilots and mechanics of the Protoss starships. They are fiercely loyal to the Judicator leadership.
Furinax Tribe
Caste: Khalai
Station: Weaponsmiths and Technologists
Though not warriors, the Furinax are the brilliant engineers and weapons technologists that arm the Protoss military. The Furinax are masters of developing new techniques to merge machines, the Khaydarin Crystals.
