                      The Valentininos remained then as the unique representatives of the House of Tharsis in
               Spain; especially, the only ones who would dedicate to comply the familiar mission. From San
               Félix de Caramán accompanied them ten of the descendants of Arnaldo Tíber, who wanted to
               continue living near to his cousins. They settle down in the old Seigniorial House and made
               excellent relations with the Catalan people of Turdes, who were pleased for those new Lords
               that  came  from  the  Languedoc  and  understood  their  native  language.  The  Noyo  retook  the
               Guard of the Secret Cavern and soon he had the company of another Man of Stone who, still
               impressed by the experience with the Lord of Venus, had decided to consecrate himself to the
               Custody of the Wise Sword. In such situation were the six assistants at the meeting of San Félix
               de Caramán, but would not be possible that all could abandon the World due to they had to pay
               attention to patrimonial interests of the House. Spain became rapidly industrialized and was
               required, in the main cities, every kind of source materials; in Turdes, the new population of
               Catalan origin reactivated the production of minerals, completely abandoned by the Lords of
               Tharsis in the last centuries. Thus, as though the millenniums would have not elapsed, the gold
               and silver returned to be extracted from the mountain ranges by the Lords of Tharsis.
                      However,  the  attention  that  the  new  situation  demanded,  to  the  midst  of  the  XIV
               century all was under control: for then, five of those six Initiates were already secluded in the
               Secret Cavern.
                      When the valentininos reached to Huelva, the County belonged to Seville. Alfonso XI of
               Castile ceded it in 1338 to the Great Master of Santiago, with which reappeared the Golem
               danger: apart from being a Celtic Order eminently Golem, many Templars had taken refuge on
               it after the process promoted by Clement V, and then started to infest the region. Nevertheless,
               fourteen years later, the infant Don Pedro took it  away from the Great Master gifting it to
               María Padilla. At the end of the XIV century the House of the Cerdas, of the Kings of Castile
               gives it as dowry to one of hi Ladies and passed to the power of the Dukes of Medina Sidonia,
