The White King's Mountain
After eight months in the Chaco, the column has reached the foothills the Guarani guides described as the country of the silver mountain. The country is harsh, broken by salt flats and dry rivers; the foothills, when reached, are bare red rock; the streams that come down from them carry no silver. The guides, when pressed, say they were sent by the Guarani council to lead the column as far from their own country as possible, in the hope that the column would not come back. Target Leader hangs two of them and dismisses the rest. The march back will be hungry.

historical_info = seven_cities_sierra.1.historical_info The legend of the Sierra de la Plata, the silver mountain at the heart of the South American interior, was credited by the Spanish crown for most of the sixteenth century and was the principal motivation for the founding of Asuncion, which was intended as the staging post for the expedition that would conquer the silver country. The actual silver of the southern Andes turned out to lie further west, at Potosi, and was reached by a different route entirely; the river-and-grassland country between Asuncion and the Andes proved as poor as the early explorers had hoped it would be rich.
