Maps of Théah:

Central Vaticine City

This area represents the heart of Vaticine City, and houses most of the important buildings.  Locations described are modified from those listed in the AEG Church of the Prophets sourcebook.

1. Jardínes Reales: Gardens.  Originally a hunting ground for the King of Castille, the Church has declared these gardens open to all residents "as a testament to the beauty of nature."  Picnickers and visitors can be found strolling along the paths, and the grassy fields become quite crowded every siesta.  The Church Guard maintains a strong presence in the area.
2. Residencia de los Cardinales: Cardinals' Residences.  The ten Cardinals traditionally maintian homes here, though only the Castillans live in the city full-time.  Each estate maintains a large number of servants, as well as a staff of priests to assist the Cardinals in their needs.
3. Hierophant's Estate.  This impressive estate has served as the residence of the Hierophant and the headquarters of El Concilio de la Razon since the days of the Third Prophet.  With the Hierophant dead, the Cardinals have converted the entire estate for their use, and now use it solely as an instrument of the Church.
4. Barrio de Santa Petronella: Servants' Quarter.  The vast number of clerks, gardeners, cooks, and other servants attending the Vaticine elite make their residence here.  Many of them are ordained priests, though some are simply devout Castillans selected for their skills.
5. Alcázar de los Lobos: The Palace of Wolves.  This Crescent designed artifice serves as the hub of Castillan politics.  The twisting, labyrinthine palace was supposed to house Good King Sandoval until he came of age (and could return to San Cristobal) but has since transformed into the de facto capital of the nation.  All pertinent government decisions are made here, as well as deadly politicking among Castillans and foreigners alike.  The recent attack on Vaticine City by Montaigne and other rogue sorcerers left the palace half ruined, although it is rapidly being rebuilt.
