Civilopedia entry

The siren's song of wealth in the New World drew many adventurous and ambitious souls across the Atlantic. One particular draw was the tale of the Seven Cities of Gold. It was said that, with the Moorish conquerors riding in from the horizon in the eighth century, seven Spanish and Portuguese bishops gathered up the relics, gold and other wealth of the Church and fled to found seven new cities across the sea. This tale of immense wealth just over the horizon would fuel many a journey into the most barren and foreboding reaches of North America, all ending in failure.

Save yours.
