Cardinal's Bulwark

spl_cardinals_bulwarkin_game/common/advances/culture_median.txt:230

Cardinal Albornoz built the Rocca Albornoziana not as a gesture but as a declaration — a fortress of such impregnability that every petty lord between Rome and Perugia understood that central power had returned in earnest, and that Spoleto stood as its most fortified instrument in central Italy. We have inherited both the structure and the institutional role it embodies, maintaining our city as the most orderly and disciplined administrative center in the region through every upheaval of the age. This combination of military solidity and civic order keeps our population unified, our burgher class literate in their civic duties, and our walls resistant to the storms of revolt and rebellion that trouble less well-governed territories.
