Skilled herbalists come from here as well,<br /> although not quite the masters as those from Ancient Ireland. Thieves find<br /> Lima as welcome as any place in which to live, with a good cross section of<br /> skills available to them. Mages from here are only capable of the most<br /> rudimentary spells.<br /> <br /> \ |----------------------------------------------------------------------| /<br /> /__| 'VICEROYAL LIMA' 'VICEROYAL PERU' LIMA PERU |__\<br /> '----------------------------------------------------------------------'<br /> The city of Lima, often called the City of Flowers, was the very heart of the<br /> Viceroyalty of Peru, Spain's richest holding in the Americas. The conquered<br /> Inca Empire left behind a legacy of silver and gold, and the Spanish<br /> conquistadors wasted no time in creating a lovely city financed by those<br /> riches. A massive irrigation project led to a desert along the Rimac River<br /> becoming a lush city renowned for its olives, its pisco, and its flowers.<br /> <br /> Spanish architecture took a sunny turn here, with the closed wooden balconies<br /> hanging off of the sides of buildings gradually giving way to more open, airy<br /> structures. The great Cathedral, despite its use as a center of the<br /> Inquisition, was nonetheless a masterpiece. Although the technology was fairly<br /> limited, Lima enjoyed a rich culture that was highly civilized. The medical<br /> arts and knowledge of nature were both highly developed, and so was liberal<br /> thought that eventually led to the rising tide of anti-imperialist sentiment.<br /> <br /> During the viceroyalty the Spaniards had to cope with those among them who<br /> sided with the native Quechua and Incas, whose living conditions were<br /> terrible. The remnants of the Inca empire managed to fight a guerrilla war for<br /> several years from their hidden cities in the Andes. At the same time, the<br /> social stratification of the area intensified as the mestizos and Quechua were<br /> relegated to squatter villages outside the beautiful city, and the hidalgos<br /> took over the land, building plantations and exploiting the poor. They took<br /> refuge in their reminiscences and superstitions, but the magic was gone from<br /> Peru, despite all the efforts of the Spaniards to keep the mystique alive.<br /> __ __<br /> &gt;__|----------------------------------------------------------------------|__&lt;<br /> '----------------------------------------------------------------------'<br /> &lt;/pre&gt;</div>
