I really looking forward to this new mod coming out so im going to post the dev diarys here to see if it interests people, i have no affliation with the mod simply trying to spread word of it. I'll post them each day if people are fine due to image rule count. This is an after the end old world mod.
Well, we are finally here with our first official Dev Diary. And as the title suggests, we will look at the Iberian Peninsula, the kingdoms and lord that rule it, and the peculiar state of christianity.
Brief note before we start, the coat of arms of the various country aren't ready yet, so consider them a beta of what it's going to look like. Similarly, we yet have to make an icon for the new religions.
Without further wait, let us see what the map of Spain will look like
Spain in 2555
The Catholic Kingdom of Portugal
Portugal is the only Kingdom in spain that still holds on the Catholic church. Ruled by the Avril dinasty since the 2200s, can a Catholic Kingdom survive, surrounded on all sides by a different church, and tormented by the pirate lords?
King Vinicius Avril, King of Portugal. With his first wife recently deceased, he is now depressed. Can he survive for the sake of his kingdom, or will his sons have to take up the crown?
Castille, the broken kingdom
At one point, Castille was close to restore ancient Spain, ruling over Galicia and the Asturias and all it's de jure land. Then, under a tyrant king, it lost more and more land, ending with Galicia y Asturias and Extremadura seceding. After a century of losing land to Andalusia and Catalonia, can the Palmarian King retake the lands he once ruled?
56 years old and yet without child, King Alfonso, of an ancient family that claims descent from the Bourbon of pre-Event fame, has however an heir in his distant cousin, his vassal the Duke of Leon
The King of Galicia y Asturias and the Duke of Extremadura
Those two rulers, tied by the marriage of the King's sister to the Duke, have a rather short history compared to the rest of the Iberian Kingdoms. Once ruled by Castille, they together claimed independence little over a century ago. While Galicia y Asturias claimed a crown on it's own, Extremadura remained under the more humble title of Duchy. Can those two young Palmarian countries survive, or will they be swallowed back by Castille?
Duke Hernan III Cortes of Extremadura. Currently without heirs, he is however protected by the powerful ties to the Palmarian Church. His marriage with Urraca will bring more land to his domain, and an ally. But will this all be enough to resist against Castille?
King Ramiro of Galicia y Asturias claims to descend from the Jimena that once ruled over most of Spain. While his claim is feeble, he has an heir in his son. However, part of his lands is owned by his sister Urraca, who is currently married to the Duke of Extremadura.
The Kingdom of Andalusia, home of the Palmarian Church
It is in the Kingdom of Andalusia that after the Event the Palmarian Church first rose to prominence. When before the Event the Palmarian Church was but a minor split group, during and after the Event it rose to more and more prominence, becoming the only recognized church in Spain (but never breaking into Portugal). The Andalusian Kings have always been loyal to the church... even if the same can't be said of all their vassals.
King Ordono de Vivar, whose Family claims descent from the legendary hero of Spain, El Cid. The King of Andalusia is cynical of the value of the Church. He may even have set his eye on Seville, the home of the faith. Will his intentions become reality? (side note, the screenshot shows him to have a family, but that is because I accidentally left "creat family" on. Sorry for the blunder)
And let us look at the Palmarian Church itself. Currently one of the most powerful Christian faiths, it's endemic of the Iberian Peninsula, only expending in recent years in Aquitaine under the Basque Kings. The current Pope is Pablo Cortes, uncle of the Duke of Extremadura
Controlling or partially controlling four of their five holy sites (note, Carmona and Lepe will actually be El Palmar and Palos) the Palmarian Church is in a strong position to expand and convert. But will they?
The Kingdom of Catalonia, ruling over both Catalan and Aragonese
The Kingdom of Catalonia is the most multicultural of the powers in Spain. Where other kingdoms rule over one or two cultures, it's the Catalan that control four: the Castilian of Murcia, once a Castilian port and still ruled by a Castilian duke, the Occitans of Rosello, and more importantly the Aragonese the Pyrenees and Zaragoza. With so many different cultures, can the Catalan hold together the Kingdom?
King Pere II Posas rules from Barcelona, controlling the second biggest kingdom in Spain. But will the Kingdom hold, or crumble?
The Basque Kingdom, a growing nation
Only calling itself Basque Kingdom, the country in the north has been for a long time the smallest, weakest of the nations of Spain. However, in recent years, the Basque Kings have set their eyes of French, a broken, war thorn region where many powers grow and die. Will they achieve great conquests, or will they crumble and fall?
King Antso VII Aguirre still holds on the military prowes of his ancestors. Will Basque Kingdom expend under him, or fall and perish?
