Governor-Praelate Alaricus

Iberia

Relic of Saint Iago
The jawbone that answered artillery and kept its receipt from Heaven

Toledo
The city taken by cannon and kept by ash
Toledo is the Synod-held Iberian martyr-city where a lost siege became custody, ash became law, and time itself learned tariffs.
