control of the Order; that would not be because the Golem ended to suspect that an strange
               will inside the Order was frustrating all the plans of the Order; but, every time that someone
               was near to the truth, the Domini Canis executed him secretly and they attributed the death to
               predictable vengeances of the Occitan Heretics.
                      To  these  motivations  purely  strategic  that  animated  the  Lords  of  Tharsis  to  work
               occulted in the Circulus Domini Canis, would be added soon the pure necessity to survive, as a
               consequence of the events occurred in Spain and that I will begin to expose tomorrow. As will
               be seen, the destruction of the Templar Order, and with it the failure of the synarchic plans of
               the White Fraternity, would become in matter of life and death for the House of Tharsis. The
               last Strategy of the Circulus will take us to that exoteric cause of the enemy plans failure, that
               was Philip IV, and of whom I referred four days ago.






               Twenty-Fourth Day



                      While  the  Order  of  Preachers  was  evolving  according  to  the  plans  of  the  Lords  of
               Tharsis, something terrible would happen in Spain: the return of Bera and Birsha. And that
               event  almost  meant,  Dr.  Siegnagel,  the  end  of  the  House  of  Tharsis.  I  will  show  now,  how
               occurred the facts.
                      Remember Dr., that the ancient Onuba, the major city of the Tudertani, was since the
               VIII century under Arab dominance, who denominated it «Uelva». In the year 1011 was the
               head  of  the  Taifa's  Kingdoms,  being  its  first  sovereign  Abu-Zaid-Mohammad-ibn-Ayub,
               followed  by  Abul  Mozad  Abdalaziz;  but  in  1051  was  promptly  annexed  to  the  Kingdom  of
               Seville until the year 1241. As I already explained, during those centuries of Arab occupation
               the House of Tharsis survived without problems and reached an enviable economic power; the
               Village of Turdes, which existance depended in the essential of the properties that the Lords of
               Tharsis exploited in the region, had grown and prospered a lot, counting in that time with some
               3.500 inhabitants; apart of the direct nucleos of the familiy Tharsis-Valter, that lived in the
               segnioral residence and was composed of some fifty members, in the Village of Turdes lived
               many families of the lineage of the House of Tharsis but of collateral bloodlines. So, in the year
               1128, when Bera and Birsha were celebrating the Golem Council of Mozon, the Kingdom of
               Huelva was subordinated to the Taifa of Seville.
                      The King of Castile and Leon, Ferdinand III the Saint, reconquests Seville in 1248 but he
               died  there  in  1252;  his  son  Alfonso  X  the  Wise  ends  the  campaign  conquering  in  1258  the
               Algarve and the regions of Huelva and Niebla. The King gave this region as dowry of his natural
               daughter Beatriz, who joined it to the crown of Portugal when she married with Alfonso III. As
               such annexation affected the ancient rights that the House of Tharsis had over the region, the
               crown of Portugal compensated the Knight Odelion of Tharis Valter with the title of «Count of
