Editing 7th Sea (section)

===Castille===
Spain simultaneously experiencing their post-armada-calamity malaise, one of their many wars of succession, and the Reconquista, save that they're hoping to reconquer their country from France rather than Muslims, whom they beat a while ago. The supplement highlights the nation, but also has large sections on the Vaticine Church (their version of the Vatican) and the nation's nearly-extinct racial fire magic. Instead of Sorcery, (though, unlike many examples of nearly extinct sorcery, El Fuego Adentro ''is'' available to player characters, if something to keep secret), Castillan characters and nobles get access to their nation's high-quality public education, which is nice, if not necessarily fair trade. The Los Vagos secret society is based out of Castille, a vigilante group somewhat akin to Zorro and somewhat akin to Anonymous who protect the king from the external threat of Montaigne and the internal threat of the rampant Inquisition by serving as a support network for the swashbuckling vigilante El Vago.  

A decent nation beset within and without by threats to its good-hearted and intelligent but woefully-inexperienced king, whose position is not helped by having one of his top advisers literally be the head of the Inquisition. As of Second Edition, he has a twin sister who used to sub out with him sometimes, but the villains have her under house arrest. 

While Castille's culture is kind, open, and even somewhat-accepting to outsiders, with a high standard of living thanks to the Church's advanced science and a culture of duty and proper conduct among the nobles, Montaigne's invasion and the rampant Inquisition are squeezing the country like a vice between them.  In particular, the head of the Inquisition firmly believes the Fourth Prophet (who will usher in the end times) is right around the corner, and he and his literally-Cobra-masked henchmen need to save as many souls as possible by setting everyone on fire. 

's a good job that there's a dashing, benevolent nobleman to serve as the king's other adviser to counterpoint him, and that dashing hero El Vago is there to foil his evil plans.  

...What?  They definitely aren't the same person.

All Castillian fighting styles make use of the fencing sword, but in drastically different contexts.  For instance, a Gallegos duelist is an expert defender, a Gustavo cavalier fights from horseback, a Torres fights with a cloak in his offhand for blocking and parrying, a Soldano uses two fencing weapons at once... the only exception is the Zepeda school of whip-fighting.  Rumors of an Abuelita school revolving around the use of ''la chancla'' are unsubstantiated, and would make your grandmother cry if she weren't too busy taking her shoes off.

Second edition also completely removed and replaced El Fuego Adentro with a new national "magic," namely alchemy, which works just like in your anime.  Need a healing potion, fire bomb, working prosthetic leg?  Alchemy can do it if you got the hero points for it.
