ExpeditionAcross the pillars
Search for the City of the Caesars
Dispatch an overland party from La Plata south into the Patagonian interior, on the report of survivors from a lost galleon who claim to have seen a city built between two mountains, its inhabitants speaking a Castilian Spanish no living court would recognize. The Patagonian winter is bitter and the survivors are unreliable witnesses, but no inquiry has ever been made.
