Legend of the Seven Cities
This country is all the clerics described and more. There are seven major pueblos here, each with its own dialect and its own headman, and beyond them a network of trading paths that runs all the way to the gulf and the great river to the east. The doors are studded with turquoise, the chiefs wear feathered cloaks and walk attended, and the storerooms hold gold-work of a quality not seen in generations. The treaty is signed before the next snow, Target Leader sends two riders back to the coast with samples and a request for reinforcements.

historical_info = seven_cities_cibola.3.historical_info The Spanish hope, never realized, was that a second Mesoamerica lay somewhere in the deserts north of the Mexican plateau, a region of dense urban populations with extractable bullion and a centralised political authority that could be co-opted as Cortes co-opted the Mexica. The reality was a constellation of agricultural towns with rich material culture but limited gold and no central authority to negotiate with. The fantasy persisted longer than it should have because Spanish institutional incentives rewarded the report of golden cities far more than the report of their absence.
