Struggle for Power

Struggle for Power

Struggle for Power is an Artifact in Shadow of the Tomb Raider. It is part of the Conquerors collection. It can be found in the Peruvian Jungle.

This artefact belongs to a series of letters written by the Spaniards as they struggle for power in the region.

Cusco belongs to Hernando Pizarro, rightful representative of the Spanish Cronwn. Diego de Almoagro has been captured, Rodrigo Orgonez is dead, and the rest of their heretic forces routed. We made a crossing over the mountains, and appeared in the coast outside of Cusco. Orgonez marched to meet us at Cachupampa, a poor choice for his cavalry. His falconets threw Gonzalo's infantry charge into disorder, but the swampy ground prevented his seasoned cavaliers from true advantage. Our imperial arquebusiers breached the river and unleashed hellfire on the opposition.

Pizarro and Orgonez led their respective cavaliers, each merging to a single charging column, all of the men yelling and met at full gallop! I had never seen such a thing! Somewhere in the chaos of battle Orgonez was shot and unhorsed and killed. They say the coward Almagro retreated from the battlefield atop an ass. Fitting.
