Eldership Spain 2025 - Finestrat

After their successes securing additional territory along the coast, we ordered our VEFS mercenaries to turn their attention inland. Their initial mountain conquest was the town of Finestrat. Finestrat Municipality is odd in that it has a detached piece of coast land that was given to it by a King as a reward for deeds done for the crown. However, the mountain town is the true center of the city. 

Like so many places along the Costa Blanco, there is a heavy expat population, both residents and people like ourselves who come for various lengths of time. It was Wife's turn to be Commander of the Eldership so the VEFS leaders wanted to show her around their latest conquest for the Re-Reconquista. 

Welcome to...

Excuse me! You're an Enlisted Person today.

 

 

Here is where the local forces had their last stand

 

We sent them all to the de-I Sandia Outfitters Tour as punishment.

 

According to our records, they need two tons of ensaladilla rusa a week, to be a peak efficiency.

 

 You again? No this Ensaladilla Rusa is not for you!
