El Dorado was founded by Spanish conquistadors who were on a quest for new land. When they reached the shores of South America they found something marvelous. A who castle made of gold towering over the city below. As they began to venture forth and guard stopped them. The conquistadors were immediately disarmed and were taken to the palace before king ElDorado. He was covered in gold and demanded the reason as to why the Spanish were on his land. The Spanish explained how it was a quest to find new land and riches, which they seemed to have found the perfect place for it. ElDorado had heard legends of how the Spanish took over kingdoms and took away freedom from those who called that land home. But ElDorado saw the opportunity to create an alliance with Spain. ElDorado sent the Spanish conquistadors back to Spain with a message. The message sent was “Shasta debent ad Carolum Quintum te ipsum, si vis ad semper legatorum societate consiliorum confugerant.” (Charles V you yourself must come to El Dorado if you ever want a diplomatic alliance.)
