Imperio Hispania

= Hispanian Empire =

Quiet temples in Barcelona.

Hispania: Sea-Faring. Everyone has rapiers. Their architecture is Spanish. They have Saints and Martyrs. (And Angels?). The Lord of Light.

Political System
The Hierarchy of the Fire-Winged possess huge power.

Carlos the Dragonking rules with an Iron Fist, but his nobles and bishops are also powerful. The nobles have Bishops as their senior advisers, and some Bishops rule over their areas too. Carlos’ chief adviser and enforcer is… (come up with powerful Spanish pope or bishop or whatever). Carlos will be swayed somewhat by his closest nobles and cardinals/bishops, but when he picks a path he is tough to dissuade from this path. There is a College of Cardinals!!! Whatever the Cardinals decide will ultimately be what Carlos decides, Carlos considers them to be the enforcers of God (Bahamut) on Earth. (Or maybe have the Cardinals decide who the Pope is and the Pope is the enforcer of God on Earth, basically the same thing but Carlos would take advice from the Pope). But this way the players can go around the country convincing Cardinals.

Rulers and Pretenders
Rulers: Carlos the Dragonking, who was anointed by the Fire-Winged (Based on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_V,_Holy_Roman_Emperor).

Main settlements
Cities: Spain has Madrid, Barcelona and Lisbon. Southern France has Bordeux, Toullouse.

The stuff about Oman/Muscat too? I think it's probably just planned... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Afonso_de_Albuquerque

Demographics and Borders
Races: Dragontouched (humans with slight Draconic features)/Dragonborn (most common, at least half)/Fire-Winged (like Dragonborn but have actual wings) – many will be partway between Dragontouched and Dragonborn or Dragonborn and Fire-Winged.

The Dragonbloods of Hispania: The Dragontouched are humans with slight Draconic features due to Dragonborn heritage, these are one of the most common races of Hispania and are considered blessed by Riteguardians. The Dragonborn are also common in Hispania, and there are rumours of humanoids even closer to Dragons than the Dragonborn. I’m not listing stats for these because there’s a blurred line between the Draconic races, it will depend on how much human blood/dragon blood your character has.

Plothooks for Spain
Pirates (Kidnapped at some point?)! Also the unease some feel with the Angels living among them (the Angels may give missions as well). Also just religious artefact hunting. Also the 9 planes of hell. Possible False Atlantis/Murloc raids. The Fountain of Youth and Christopher Columbus. Tension between the Fire, Frost and Thunder Draconic races.
