M'y kingdom for... More information
« on: April 24, 2022, 06:58:59 AM »
After looking for a planet, I am looking for information on the rulers of Nueva Castile ( ??? this name doesn't make any sense in Spanish) and the Umayyad Caliphate.
And when they ruled would be a bonus.

Each chased the Ice Hellion, hunting it down.
All failed to match the predator's speed and grace.

Nueva Castille would translate simply via English to me as New Castille. This meant to me that it is a spaceborne successor to the Kingdom of Castile likely settled by Spainards.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingdom_of_Castile

Seems to be a theme of the Coreward proto-states of the Periphery to name yourself after an ancient empire of Earth.

I'll do more research on a BattleTech basis and would be happy to chat about it with you as always. ;)

Just an admittedly quick browse over on sarna.net reveals this page which is quite informative.

Right now, I am torn between going for something à la Cid (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/El_Cid_(film)) or something more swashbuckling (à la https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Captain_Alatriste or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/7th_Sea_(role-playing_game)) but it will have to include Reconquista 'Mechs and other Primitive things, revenge, exile, honor...
