History

Vera Cruz

The sea port of Veracruz was founded by Hernán Cortés, who first landed there in 1519 at the start of his quest to conquer Mexico for Spain. It was named 'La Villa Rica de la Vera Cruz' (The Rich Town of the True Cross; the name is also occasionally given as La Rica Villa de la Vera Cruz).

Veracruz was New Spain's main port, where silver and wares from the Manila Galleons transported overland from Acapulco were loaded onto the Spanish treasure fleets for shipment to Spain. The port was harassed by hostile powers and by pirates, who succeeded in pillaging the city in 1653 and in 1712. In response to such dangers the large fortress of San Juan de Ulúa was built on an island in the harbour, beginning in 1565 and substantially expanded several times later.

Map and Locations

Map of Vera Cruz

Vera Cruz is Spains starting port, therefore new players will be greeted right at the docks by Rosalinda Diaz and get their first missions. Other places to look for missions are the Tavern and the Magistrate's Office.
