ExpeditionAcross the pillars
Search for the Sierra de la Plata
Push west and north from the Plate into the Andean foothills in pursuit of the Sierra de la Plata, the silver mountain the Guarani guides describe and the survivors of the Solis expedition swore was real. If the mountain is found, it will not be a discovery of one mine but of an entire bullion economy waiting to be opened.
