The Golden Age (Siglo de Oro)

## ***The Golden Age***

The Spanish Golden Age (in Spanish, Siglo de Oro) was a period of flourishing arts and letters in the Spanish Empire (now Spain and the Spanish-speaking countries of Latin America), coinciding with the political decline and fall of the Habsburgs (Philip III, Philip IV and Charles II). It is interesting to note how arts during the Golden Age flourished despite the decline of the empire in the 17th century. The last great writer of the age, Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz, died in New Spain in 1695.

The Habsburgs, both in Spain and Austria, were great patrons of art in their countries. El Escorial, the great royal monastery built by King Philip II, invited the attention of some of Europe's greatest architects and painters. Diego Velázquez, regarded as one of the most influential painters of European history and a greatly respected artist in his own time, cultivated a relationship with King Philip IV and his chief minister, the Count-Duke of Olivares, leaving us several portraits that demonstrate his style and skill. El Greco, a respected Greek artist from the period, settled in Spain, and infused Spanish art with the styles of the Italian renaissance and helped create a uniquely Spanish style of painting.

Some of Spain's greatest music is regarded as having been written in the period. Such composers as Tomás Luis de Victoria, Luis de Milán and Alonso Lobo helped to shape Renaissance music and the styles of counterpoint and polychoral music, and their influence lasted far into the Baroque period.

Spanish literature blossomed as well, most famously demonstrated in the work of Miguel de Cervantes, the author of Don Quixote de la Mancha. Spain's most prolific playwright, Lope de Vega, wrote possibly as many as one thousand plays over his lifetime, over four hundred of which survive to the present day.
The Order of Santiago

## About

The Order of Santiago, also known as the Spanish Army, is one of the most capable fighting forces in Europe, known for its extremely efficient ability to conquest for and defend the fatherland, and to plunder and loot the lands of Spain's enemies. The sight of Spanish soldiers marching toward one's position is a sight feared in all corners of the globe, from the beaches of the New World to the harsh terrain of Siberia.

Randal McFisherman

In a more flattering state, Randal fishes in the Americas

A young lad by the name of Randal Seymour the 8th was born on July 24, 1721, on the Shenendoah River in West Virginia.

## History

### Early Life

Randal Seymour the 8th was an only child living in the wilderness off the side of the Shenendoah River in a log cabin. He lived on fish and beans, beans and fish, fish and fish, beans, and the occasional vegetable. Raised purely pescatarian, he developed great teeth, a common gene inherited by the children with the name "Randal." At the age of five, he had become a mountain man, however, as he continued to catch the same trout and bass, he wished for more. When his parents passed away of dysentery when he was only sixteen, he took this opportunity.

### Heading out on the open sea

Randal decided, at about 16, to sail to the Caribbean. He had no money, no parents, and he was 16 in the middle of Virginia. He managed to steal a ship carrying cold trout by saying he was the captain of this ship. They agreed, as he wasn't going to take no for an answer.

He began sailing south, along the coast on a war frigate. He had three other members of his crew along with him, none of which have been recorded. In journal entries, Randal wrote:

*I hate my crew.* June 15, 1737.

Randal eventually made his way to the carribean, docking at Tortuga.

There was a minor inconvenience: His baldness.

Baldness is not an attractive feature a man could have, and when he ported onto Tortuga on a hot summers day in 1737, thanks to stress and dehydration, all of his hair was gone, leaving a deep red beard on his neck. He was short, and overweight.

Coupled with his baldness, his crew also pulled a mutiny, sailing to the nearby island of "God knows" -Randal's writing on a outhouse stall.

He was homeless, poor, and only had his fishing rod.

### Fishing Enterprise

Worried that he may starve, he began to fish on the docks. He has continued to survive there for years upon years. Eventually, in the summer of 1751, he met Aurelia and her husband, Daniel, who introduced him to other members of Spain, including the beautiful Princess Akimi and Princess Halle.

He also met Kelly too, and Zeke Clemente, and Mag.

*I don't care about anyone but myself and my fish.*

He stated in his journal. He continued to be homeless, until amassing a small fortune thanks to fishing. He was able to buy a light sloop, named the Floundering Fish. On this sloop, he sells his product, and also fishes. He sleeps there too, and bathes... and just lives there.

## Strengths

* He can fish
* He can talk about fish

## Weaknesses

* Doesn't have a clue how to make potions
* Is trash with a gun
Burning of Palacio de Clemente

On May 20th, 1749, in the aftermath of the Battle of Madrid, King Philip Clemente V's grand palace, known as Palacio de Clemente, was put to the torch by Ezequiel Clemente. The Lion forces of Ferdinand Clemente VI sought to destroy the manor, seeing it as a symbol of the immense greed, narcissism, and tyranny of the Mad King. The immense palace burned for 3 days, until it was merely a smoldering pile of ash in the damaged capital city of the Spanish Empire. It was estimated that nearly a dozen members of the Clemente family, mostly the brothers and sisters of Ferdinand and Ezequiel who still supported their father, perished in the inferno, along with dozens more servants, soldiers, and guests within the palace, the most notable being Leon Daggerskull, who was presumed to have been consumed by the fire, though rumors of his survival still linger within some circles.

Extinct House of Vega

> ***"A Vega never forgets."***
>
>

**House Vega** was formerly the fourth-oldest existing Noble House of Spain. However, it would have gone extinct much earlier if not for the eldest son of Tomas Amengual, Ares Vega, choosing to carry on his mothers name. He used his father's influence to run for Governor of Spanish colony of Cuba, but lost the seat when King Ferdinand Clemente VI abolished the governor system. When arriving on the beach of Cuba, among the greeting party was a woman, Spain's Director of Military Development, Linda Dreadquick. It was love at first sight, and the two ended up getting married within the year and later having a child, Thorne Vega, who would become Duchess of House Vega after her father was found guilty of the crimes of high treason and conspiracy against the Spanish Crown. House Vega has been disbanded as of August 1751, after Duchess Thorne Vega and all of the remaining Vegas departed from Spain. The sigil of House Vega was a lone, howling wolf.

The Fall (17th century)

## ***Decline in the 17th century***

The Spanish "Golden Age" politically ends no later than 1659, with the Treaty of the Pyrenees, ratified between France and Habsburg Spain. Spain had experienced severe financial difficulties in the later 16th century, that had caused the Spanish Crown to declare bankruptcy four times in the late 1500s (1557, 1560, 1576, 1596). However, the constant financial strain did not prevent the rise of Spanish power throughout the 16th century.

Many different factors, excessive warfare, inefficient taxation, a succession of weak kings in the 17th century, power struggles in the Spanish court contributed to the decline of the Habsburg Spain in the second half of the 17th century.

During the long regency for Charles II, the last of the Spanish Habsburgs, favouritism milked Spain's treasury, and Spain's government operated principally as a dispenser of patronage. Plague, famine, floods, drought, and renewed war with France wasted the country. The Peace of the Pyrenees (1659) had ended fifty years of warfare with France, whose king, Louis XIV, found the temptation to exploit a weakened Spain too great. Louis instigated the War of Devolution (1667–68) to acquire the Spanish Netherlands.

By the 17th century, the Catholic Church and Spain had showcased a close bond to one another, attesting to the fact that Spain was virtually free of Protestantism during the 16th century. In 1620, there were 100,000 Spaniards in the clergy, by 1660 there were about 200,000 Spaniards in the clergy and the Church owned 20% of all the land in Spain. The Spanish bureaucracy in this period was highly centralized, and totally reliant on the king for its efficient functioning. Under Charles II, the councils became the sinecures of wealthy aristocrats despite various attempt at reform. Political commentators in Spain, known as arbitristas, proposed a number of measures to reverse the decline of the Spanish economy, with limited success. In rural areas of Spain, heavy taxation of peasants reduced agricultural output as peasants in the countryside migrated to the cities. The influx of silver from the Americas has been cited as the cause of inflation, although only one fifth of the precious metal, i.e. the quinto real (royal fifth), actually went to Spain. A prominent internal factor was the Spanish economy's dependence on the export of luxurious Merino wool, which had its markets in northern Europe reduced by war and growing competition from cheaper textiles.
Sacking of Madrid (1749)

> **Preceding Battle:** The Battle of Cádiz
>
>

> **Succeeding Battle:** Battle of Barcelona
>
>

The **Sacking of Madrid** was a battle during the War of Spanish Succession of 1749, on May 20th, 1749, in which Prince Ezequiel Clemente led the forces of the North Caribbean Company of the Lion Coalition to seize control of the city of Madrid from the Spanish Empire.

## Battle Timeline

* Prince Ezequiel Clemente leads his men into the sparsely-defended city of Madrid.
* Ezequiel gives his men free reign, and they sack the city of Madrid, pillaging and plundering the city and slaughtering the few remaining Spanish soldiers within Madrid and any and all Pearsonic loyalists that they can find.
* Ezequiel enters Palacio de Clemente and escorts his grandmother, Former Queen Pearl Petalbee-Clemente, out of the palace.
* Ezequiel Clemente puts Palacio de Clemente to the torch, killing the remaining members of House Clemente loyal to Philip, and quite a few other vital Pearsonic loyalists.

#### Outcome:

* The Lion Coalition seizes the entire Spanish treasury, bankrupting the Spanish Empire.
* There is a severe decline in the numbers of Pearsonic loyalists.
* The common people of Spain lose a bit of sympathy for the Lion cause.
* The Lion Coalition takes the city of Madrid.
* Lion victory.
Fort Paradox

**Fort Paradox** is a fortress in the Pyreenes Mountains in northern Spain, that has been the location of multiple important events within the history of the Spanish Empire.

## History

### Origins

Fort Paradox was first constructed several hundread years ago, during the Crusades. It was used as a stronghold for crusading ancestors of the royal family, who were knights that fought back against the spread of Islam within Spain. For centuries, despite a multitude of attacks both foreign, Fort Paradox had never fallen or failed its occupants, providing safety and shelter to members of the Clemente family. Its remote location and strong build were large contributing factors to the impenetrable nature of the ancient stronghold.

### The 1700s

During the 1700s, two major events happened at Fort Paradox. The first event was the Battle of Muerte de Clemente during the War of the Triumvirate, in which a coalition of anti-Pearsonic rebels led by Ferdinand Clemente, French soldiers sent by Queen Grace Goldtimbers under the command of Francis Bluehawk, and East India Trading Company forces under the command of Samuel Harrington attacked the fortress in hopes of capturing and killing King Philip Clemente V. The forces of the Spanish Empire prevailed, defeating the coalition that had risen up against it, and ending the third rebellion that was started by his son, Ferdinand Clemente. After that, Fort Paradox was abandoned once again for a time.

Later, in 1749, Fort Paradox became the site of an event that would forever change the course of Spanish history. It was here that the last battle of the War of Spanish Succession of 1749 was fought. Prince Ferdinand Clemente VI sieged the fortress, and did battle with the forces of his father, King Philip Clemente V, tricking the Mad King during the heat of battle and catastrophically defeating his armies. Ferdinand proceeded to kill Philip, and seize the Spanish crown for himself, bringing about the end of the Pearsonic Era, leading later to a new time of prosperity for the Spanish Empire.
Cutthroat Isle

## About

**Cutthroat Isle**, known to the Spanish as *Isla de Asesinos*, is a Spanish territory in the Caribbean that has been overrun by the forces of Jolly Roger's Undead armies. Despite its state of pure anarchy, the Spanish maintain control over the island, dedicated to putting to rest the bodies of the Undead Spaniards that have been rudely awoken from their peaceful slumber by Jolly Roger, and keeping their former comrades from escaping the island.

Cutthroat Isle is the headquarters of the Order of Santiago, who are tasked with the destruction and containment of Spanish Undead forces on the island. Cutthroat was an uninhabited island for many years, before the Pearsonic Wars. The Spanish Empire under King Philip Clemente V used Cutthroat as a burial ground for their fallen soldiers, however, Jolly Roger subsequently began raising the dead Spaniards back to life to serve in his Undead armies. After his self-imposed exile from Spain, Sir Guillermo Ortez served as a caretaker of the graveyards on Cutthroat Isle, defeating and re-burying dead Spaniards that Jolly brought back to life for several years. Ezequiel Clemente brought the body of his younger brother, Silus Clemente, to Cutthroat Isle and buried him in a crypt on the beach after he was killed during the Battle of Muerte de Clemente.

### Early Life

Born on April 20th, 1727, in Seville, Spain, Samuel never knew his parents, as from the accounts of the head of the orphange, all Samuel had from when he was baby was a small scrap of paper that read: "Take him."

In the orphanage, he learned to read at the age of 7 and write at the age of 12, Samuel was fascinated by the teachings of John Locke, Montesquieu, and Rousseau, instilling the sense that any man, of any background, and any lineage, could be important.

At the age of 16, Samuel ran away from the orphanage he was left in, as he feared never being adopted. From there, he took a caravan to Switzerland, where he had been approached by then-King of Switzerland; Matthew O'Malley. Matthew then took the young Samuel under his wing, where he learned how a government worked. He saw great kings such as Matthew O'Malley, Tyler Crossbones, and William Seasteel rise in power, and lead Switzerland into the golden age, despite the war that ravaged Europe; The Paradoxian War.

Extinct House of Le'Overalines

The history of **House Le'Overalines** is an interesting one. For many years, the wealthy Le'Overalines family, originating in France, was a Noble House that was unwaveringly loyal to the French Crown. However, the members of House Le'Overalines were highly critical of, and highly vocal about, the marriage of Queen Grace Antoinette-Goldtimbers to King Philip Clemente V of Spain. As a result, King Philip dispatched members of his infamous Ranger Order to quiet the mouths of House Le'Overalines--permanently. Many members of House Le'Overalines were killed, including Paltron and Maria Le'Overalines, and their daughter, Louise. The only surviving members of House Le'Overalines lived in Denmark, out of Philip's reach. Years later, the son of Paltron and Maria, Magtongen Le'Overalines, came into the service of the Spanish government, starting out as an ambassador to Spain from Denmark-Norway, and later joining the Spanish after the fall of Emperor Kwagar Ocata. For their extreme loyalty to his mother, King Ferdinand Clemente VI declared House Le'Overalines a vassal of House Clemente. Later, Kingd Ferdinand Clemente VI would raise House Le'Overalines to the nobility for its loyalty to the Crown. The sigil of House Le'Overalines is a dagger inside of a sun.

The Mansion of House Le'Overalines is useful in the fact that the Cortes Generales is hosted there. Members of the Senate will reside at the mansion for a day, enjoying food, beverage, and comfort until ~7 PM, where they will then debate proposals. Clemente's, Diaz, Fernandez, Aveiredes, Lupos; all will come to voice their opinion.

Parties are also occasionally hosted there, which will last until the morning. There is rumored to be a list, including the Archbishop, of people who are always invited.

Extinct House of Cuervez

**House Cuervez**, also known as **House McMorrigan**, was a Noble House of Pearsonic Spain, that served King Philip Clemente V. It was led by Duchess Molly Cuerves, who was a close associate of former Lord Admiral Benjamin Clemente (now King Benjamin Clemente of France) and a high-ranking officer within the Spanish Empire's naval forces. Cuervez was known for its prestige on the seas. House Cuervez was vital to the Spanish Armada during the days of Pearsonic Spain, and was an invaluable tool of King Philip's conquests all throughout his reign. House Cuervez died with Spain's defeat in the Paradoxian Wars. The sigil of House Cuervez was a raven's foot, with sharp talons.

Spanish Inquisition

**"Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition."**

## About

The Spanish Inquisition was founded on November 1, 1478, for the purpose of purifying the people of Spain. In its early days, it was responsible for holy work, driving out Jews, Muslims, Protestants, and other non-Catholics. For years, it served as a court of detection for heretics, and was a means for the Catholic church to enforce orthodoxy. Often times, when heretics were caught, they would be subjected to hours, days, weeks, or even months of torture, or simply executed for their heretical beliefs or practices. In the most rampant cases, the extremity of the Inquisition extended to not only punishing non-believers and outright heretics, but those guilty of lesser sins as well. The holy organization, at times, had the citizens of Spain living in a constant state of fear of sinning, or fear of standing accused of sin of any kind. The moral implications of plunging the people into such a state of fear have been debated more in recent years, but some attribute the continued domestic peace and harmony within the nation of Spain to be a result of the rigid philosophies that the Inquisition instilled in people.

In recent years, however, the Inquisition has been used for much different purposes than it was originally intended for. Rather than falling directly under the control of the Catholic church, the Inquisition has fallen under control of the Spanish Crown. Under the highly righteous King Ferdinand VI, the Inquisition's use expanded greatly, with the monarch making his devout younger brother, Prince Ezequiel Clemente, the Grand Inquisitor, in addition to his many other duties. The Inquisitions new functions included intelligence operations for the nation in addition to their religious enforcement purposes, with the Prince claiming that work to uphold a nation with such a devotion to God was always the Lord's work. The modern Inquisition has become such a secretive group that, aside from the Grand Inquisitor, all of its other members are classified to anyone but the King, the Hand of the King, and the Inquisition itself.

## Appearance

### First Breath–– Childhood

In 1730 David Alonso (Also known as David Stormspark) was born. Growing up, David was always trying to please his older sister Raven, while trying to set a good example for his younger brother Simon. David's parents were hard working blacksmiths and were never home much, which meant Raven was in charge. Raven cherished her two younger brothers very much, and they listened to and respected her––rarely fighting with each other. Raven's only wish for her two brothers was for them to learn that there was more to life than just trying to please other people.

One fateful day while sailing on the family boat, Simon and David were horsing around when the boat hit a giant wave, knocking both of the boys into the water. a sudden storm came about, separating the boys. When David recovered consciousness, he awoke with no memory of who he was or where he came from. Drifting from place to place, he finally met a nice family on Padres Del Fuego who took him in as one of their own, thus giving David the last name Diaz. David then soon came to be best friends with his new found brother, Robert Diaz.

Extinct House of Avaricia

House Avaricia was an incredibly short-lived Noble House of Spain. Duke Isaiah Avaricia was raised to noble status by King Ferdinand Clemente VI in October of 1750. Just two months later, in December of 1750, Isaiah and his House would betray the Crown, siding with the Kingdom of Denmark-Norway-Haven when the Kingdom of Spain declared war upon them in order to secure the independence of Sweden and Finland from the fledgling empire, with Isaiah Avaricia even going as far as to secure himself a position as the leader of the forces defending Haven from Spanish invasion. In the end, the Kingdom of Haven submitted and bent the knee to Spain, but the damaged had already been done. The day of House Avaricia was over, and what a short day it was. The sigil of House Avaricia was a skull sitting next to a tombstone.

Castillo del León

**Castillo del León** (*Castle of the Lion* in English) is a castle near the city of Gerona in northern Spain. It is currently occupied by Prince Ezequiel Clemente, who makes use of the keep as his home, headquarters, and personal residence.

## History

Castillo del León was not always called such. It was formerly known as Castillo del Guardabosques (*Castle of the Ranger* in English), the headquarters of the legendary Ranger Order, and was constructed to serve such a purpose. For decades, the castle was used to train members of the Ranger order, house said members, plan Spain's military operations and campaigns, and, during the short period of time that Spain was ruled by the Ranger Lords Council, the castle was used to rule over the entirety of Spain. However, with the disappearance of Lunius Sargento, the death of Hector Wildhayes, and the turning of King Philip Clemente V's attention to greater concerns, the order fell, and Castillo del Guardabosques was abandoned.

In 1750, after the Restoration of the Spanish Monarchy, and his promotion to the rank of Hand of the King, Prince Ezequiel Clemente returned to Castillo del Guardabosques, and put a significant sum of his own funds towards restoring, renovating, and refurbishing the castle, which had fallen into disrepair. After the renovations were complete, Ezequiel moved into the castle himself, renaming it "Castillo del León" in honor of the lion sigil of House Clemente. He spends his time living either in Castillo del León or Fin de la Tormenta, the castle of his older brother, and the center of the Spanish government, in Cádiz.

Noble House of Diaz

> ***"Strength as an individual. but unbeatable as a whole."***
>
>

**House Diaz is** the second-oldest existing Noble House of Spain. It has a rich history of closeness with the Spanish Crown, and House Clemente. Duke Rodrigo Diaz, a wealthy Spanish trader and the father of the legendary Spanish conquistador Humberto "El Patron" Diaz, was elevated to the aristocracy by an ancestor of King Ferdinand Clemente VI, to whom he was a close adviser, holding the rank of Hand of the King. Much of House Diaz's fame and prestige comes from the fabled conquests of Humberto "El Patron" Diaz, who founded the Spanish colonies of Cova de Cuervo and Padres del Fuego, and his legendary cache of weapons, as well as his stash of mythical supposedly "cursed" blades. House Diaz is well known for being a strong, well-minded House currently led by original member Clara Pond. The sigil of House Diaz is a white rose.
