THE BARONY OF CENTINELA

[!] The Bolivar Coat of Arms

 

 

---

 

The Barony of Centinela is the seat of House de Bolivar, an aged house that has lasted through the recent centuries as a staple of humanities unique and ever different cultures. In the most recent years the House de Bolivar has declared its fealty to the Orenian descended House de Joannes. 

 

Abridged History

 

     The Barony of Centinela finds its roots within the early 1600’s, in which the first baron, Lord Jacob Bolivar was granted the title by King Leo of Santegia. It was from this day forward that House de Bolivar would become the house that it is known as today. The Manor de Bolivar was the first iteration of the Barony of Centinela, standing outside of the city of Presa de Madera, its lavish halls were renowned around the kingdom, and was known for its active parties and activities hosted by the owners. 

     After the Fall of Santegia, and the rise of the Empire of Man, the House Bolivar declared its fealty to House Devereux and the Duchy of Curon. This time saw very little progress and stagnation from the noble house, and was quite forgettable to the Curonian people who had little interest or care for their culture or people. This stagnation lasted until Curon attempted its revolt against the Empire of Man, which saw the Bolivars declare themselves under the Empire of Man. For their loyalty they were awarded the County of Fuerte, which did not last long as House Bolivar slowly began to fade away to time. 

     House Bolivar and their titles made a return as supporters and advisors to the elder King Edward of Suffonia. House Bolivar and its patriarch, Giovanni Bolivar, took a major role in helping organize the Suffonian Rebellion and its eventual independence. The Bolivars supported mass economic and military support to the Suffolks and would even lead their armies to battle, this would continue until the eventual victory, and independence of Suffonia. After the war the Bolivars became staunch advisors to the Suffolks and would assist them with managing their new freedom. With this help House Bolivar had very little time to manage its own fiefdom, and eventually abandoned the county in favor of the Warwick Castle. With the fall of Suffonia came the Bolivars receding back into the shadows once again. 

     The most recent variation of House Bolivar and the Barony of Centinela sees them as loyal vassals to the Principality of Sedan. The Bolivars have returned to help return the Santegian culture and Bolivar name to its once great glory that it held in the times of Atlas.

 

Abridged Culture

[!] A rendition of a Santegian soldier

 

     In recent years the Santegian culture has been quiet and rarely practiced, with the similar Hyspian culture becoming more popular, though similar Santegians hold many distinctive traits that make them unique. Santegian is a term that refers to the men and women who descend from the Savinian horse lords of old. These people were known for their prowess and mastery of horse riding. Not much is known about the Savinian Horse Lords, besides that the House de Savin, would eventually unite the Savinians and eventually mold them into what Santegians are known as today. 

     Santegians are a pale complexed group of farfolks that can be found near the coast or in the heartlands. Their unique skin complexion compared to other farfolks is attributed to the long history of mingling and marriage with heartlanders. Their bright and vibrant colors of their clothing makes it easy to spot them out of a crowd. Many say that their clothing choices are what make them so recognizable. In early years of a Santegians life they tend to maintain a clear face, not interested in facial hair with the belief it makes them look disheveled. However, once they have aged, older Santegians are much more likely to be seen with beards, mustaches, anything of the sorts that gives them a wiser look. 

     Not many are sure what the origins of the Santegian language come from, however it is speculated that it simply was a mash of old Savinian and the mass use of common. Examples of some common words used by Santegians is the following:

 

Hola -- Hello

Adios -- Goodbye

Gracias -- Thank You

Hermano/Hermana -- Brother/Sister

Familia -- Family

 

     Archetecture wise, Santegians stand out from other humans that can be found in similar regions. Instead of relying on easily acquired resources like quartz and stone, Santegians find themselves building with terracotta, bricks, granite, and other colorful resources that make their homes stick out. Another easily noticeable attribute to Santegian buildings is the murals and color that compliment their buildings. Santegians believe that these murals and colors help represent history and let the people never forget its highest and lowest moments. 

     Santegians, when it comes to religion, have had many changes to their core beliefs throughout the years. Having found themselves as Lorrainians, Canonists, and even Rashidun. However Santegians have always returned to being loyal canonists no matter how far their beliefs skew away from this. Especially in recent years, the Santegian loyalty to Canonism and the seven skies can not be understated.

 

Military

[!] A Painter's Rendition of The Siege of Keintania, Citra. 1639 

 

     The Bolivian Brigade has stood as the defense of Centinela since its establishment in 1654. This fighting force has been known for its commitment to battle, and thus its high casualty rate when battle does not fair its way. Soldiers of the Bolivian Brigade dedicate their lives to the mastery of their choice of the following weapons, The war-axe, longsword, or the most popular, the rapier. These soldiers are taught from the beginning that every battle is fought like their last. Their fierce and ferocious mentality within battle make them a dangerous threat to those that are not prepared to meet them within the field. Santegians when it comes to armor prefer the heaviness and protection of plate armor. Though the sacrifice of speed is unfortunate, the brutish and close range tactics of the brigade means that they only need their strength. The leader of the military, the El Mariscal, is the commander in chief of the brigade and answers only to their liege lords.
