In the early 1300s, Quebecshirite Captain [[Félix Vernier]] encountered a group of islands southwest of [[New Gandor]] and named them ''Gandeur du Sud'', translated as ''South Gandor''. Vernier never stepped foot on the islands but their location was documented.

The voyage east was lead by Admiral [[Cristóbal Colón Cámarillo]] and composed of three ships: the ''[[Rey Alfonso I (ship)|Rey Alfonso I]]'', the ''[[Rey Felipe I (ship)|Rey Felipe I]]'', and the ''[[Rey Machtītin I (ship)|Rey Machtītin I]]''. The ships left the port of [[Salvador (city)|Salvador]] on 18 April 1381 and headed east across the [[Southern Ocean]]. On 12 October 1381, Colón Cámarillo landed on the largest island in the north of the archipelago which he called ''La'Isla Gran del Admiral'', later known as simply [[Admiralia (island)|Admiralia]], the island's current name. The Creeperans met with some Natives of the island and they were introduced to their village. The two exchanged gifts; the Creeperans gifted the Natives hammocks and crosses while the Natives gifted the Creeperans beads, candles, whale bone tools, and gold. After a few days, the Creeperans departed, believing that the island was rich in gold. As the ships departed, Colón Cámarillo named the islands ''Los'Islas Imperiales de San Carlos el Mártir de Creeperopólis'', translated as ''The Imperial Islands of San Carlos the Martyr of Creeperopolis'', named after Saint [[Carlos, hijo de Alfonso I|Carlos]], the youngest son of Alfonso I who died in combat in 1299. One of his patronages was gold, and since the Creeperans were gifted gold by the Natives, the islands were named after Saint Carlos. The name would eventually be shorted over time to simply the ''[[San Carlos Islands]]''.

The Creeperans then headed south and explored more of the islands of the archipelago, naming all of the ones they came across.

The Creeperans worked with the Natives there and were able to live off of food provided by the Natives.

On 17 November 1383, Colón Cámarillo commanded the same three ships and traveled to the San Carlos Islands with the mission of finding locations that would be perfect to establishing permanent settlements. The Creeperans carried coffee with them this time as gifts for the Natives and as bribes so that they would be willing to live under Creeperian rule. Colón Cámarillo and his fleet landed on the island just south of Admiralia on 15 March 1834. They established a temporary settlement and continued to San Nicolás a week later. They arrived on 26 March 1834 and reunited themselves with the Natives still living there. Colón Cámarillo established a permanent settlement at San Nicolás. They stayed there for two months, improving relations with the natives, trading goods, and building up the settlement. Of the 1,200 men on the journey, 400 stayed behind to maintain the settlement and continue relations with the Natives. Colón Cámarillo placed [[Pedro Gutiérrez Valdivia]], his second-in-command, in charge of San Nicolás and the Creeperans departed on 13 June 1384. They sailed south, following the same route as the first voyage, and again sailed along the coast of the island of Cámarillo. Colón Cámarillo continued to follow the coast and encountered a large Native settlement on the island on 24 June 1384. The settlement was home to 30,000 Natives and both had a friendly initial interaction. Both groups traded gifts and the Creeperans settled there for three months. They were treated as guests and the Creeperans helped the Natives develop the settlement. Colón Cámarillo named the settlement ''Ciudad Grande del Admiral Cristóbal Colón Cámarillo'', after himself. The city is know known as simply [[Camarillo]] with the "á" replaced with an "a" after the Creeperans left the islands. The Creeperans departed the city on 1 September 1384 and carefully charted down its location since Colón Cámarillo wanted to make the settlement the islands' capital city. The Creeperans headed west and then south, and then returned to Creeperopolis, arriving in Salvador on 13 February 1385.

The Captaincy General of the San Carlos Islands (Creeperian Spanish: Capitanía General de las'Islas San Carlos) was a colony and administrative division of the Kingdom of Creeperopolis from 1387 until it was sold to Xusma in the Guazatancillo Affair in 1749 for 15 million credits, worth around 2.6 billion credits adjusted to inflation. The Captaincy General covered the present-day state of the San Carlos Islands.

Background

Main article: Voyages of Cristóbal Colón Cámarillo
A depiction of Cristóbal Colón Cámarillo landing on Admirala bearing a banner with the coat of arms of King Adolfo I and Queen-consort María.

In the early 1300s, Quebecshirite Captain Félix Vernier encountered a group of islands southwest of New Gandor and named them Gandeur du Sud, translated as South Gandor. Vernier never stepped foot on the islands but their location was documented.

Meanwhile, the Creeperian Crusade concluded in 1345 in Creeperopolis with the fall of Shata' Albahr. King Miguel I died in 1365 and was succeeded by his son, Adolfo I, who was made aware of the islands' existence and he wanted to conquer new lands like his father had done. Internal economic issues prevented the Creeperans from sending an expeditionary force to the islands during the 1360s and 1370s, but in 1380, the Creeperian Navy was able to gather enough money, support, and resources to fund a voyage to the islands.

The voyage east was lead by Admiral Cristóbal Colón Cámarillo and composed of three ships: the Rey Alfonso I, the Rey Felipe I, and the Rey Machtītin I. The ships left the port of Salvador on 18 April 1381 and headed east across the Southern Ocean. On 12 October 1381, Colón Cámarillo landed on the largest island in the north of the archipelago which he called La'Isla Gran del Admiral, later known as simply Admiralia, the island's current name. The Creeperans met with some Natives of the island and they were introduced to their village. The two exchanged gifts; the Creeperans gifted the Natives hammocks and crosses while the Natives gifted the Creeperans beads, candles, whale bone tools, and gold. After a few days, the Creeperans departed, believing that the island was rich in gold. As the ships departed, Colón Cámarillo named the islands Los'Islas Imperiales de San Carlos el Mártir de Creeperopólis, translated as The Imperial Islands of San Carlos the Martyr of Creeperopolis, named after Saint Carlos, the youngest son of Alfonso I who died in combat in 1299. One of his patronages was gold, and since the Creeperans were gifted gold by the Natives, the islands were named after Saint Carlos. The name would eventually be shorted over time to simply the San Carlos Islands.

The Creeperans then headed south and explored more of the islands of the archipelago, naming all of the ones they came across. They landed on the island of Chirikov and established their own settlement called of Saint Nicholas. The Creeperans worked with the Natives there and were able to live off of food provided by the Natives. Creeperian Catholic priests taught the Natives Creeperian Spanish in order to better communicate with the Natives and many were even converted to Catholicism. The Creeperans traveled north along the eastern coast of the archipelago. The Creeperans then returned to Creeperopolis and arrived to Salvador on 18 March 1382. Colón Cámarillo showed Adolfo I the gold they were gifted and he immediately began preparations for a second voyage to begin finding good locations to make permanent settlements.

On 17 November 1383, Colón Cámarillo commanded the same three ships and traveled to the San Carlos Islands with the mission of finding locations that would be perfect to establishing permanent settlements. The Creeperans carried coffee with them this time as gifts for the Natives and as bribes so that they would be willing to live under Creeperian rule. Colón Cámarillo and his fleet landed on the island just south of Admiralia on 15 March 1834. They established a temporary settlement and continued to San Nicolás a week later. They arrived on 26 March 1834 and reunited themselves with the Natives still living there. Colón Cámarillo established a permanent settlement at San Nicolás. They stayed there for two months, improving relations with the natives, trading goods, and building up the settlement. Of the 1,200 men on the journey, 400 stayed behind to maintain the settlement and continue relations with the Natives. Colón Cámarillo placed Pedro Gutiérrez Valdivia, his second-in-command, in charge of San Nicolás and the Creeperans departed on 13 June 1384. They sailed south, following the same route as the first voyage, and again sailed along the coast of the island of Cámarillo. Colón Cámarillo continued to follow the coast and encountered a large Native settlement on the island on 24 June 1384. The settlement was home to 30,000 Natives and both had a friendly initial interaction. Both groups traded gifts and the Creeperans settled there for three months. They were treated as guests and the Creeperans helped the Natives develop the settlement. Colón Cámarillo named the settlement Ciudad Grande del Admiral Cristóbal Colón Cámarillo, after himself. The city is know known as simply Camarillo with the "á" replaced with an "a" after the Creeperans left the islands. The Creeperans departed the city on 1 September 1384 and carefully charted down its location since Colón Cámarillo wanted to make the settlement the islands' capital city. The Creeperans headed west and then south, and then returned to Creeperopolis, arriving in Salvador on 13 February 1385.

When he returned, he arrived to a country fighting another war against the Deltinians. While he was gone, in 1384, the Deltinians, under the leadership of Caliph Orhan III bin Abu Zaidi, revolted against Adolfo I in the departments of Abdan, Helam, and Jakiz. As a result, plans for a third voyage were put on hold, but plans were made nonetheless.Adolfo I died on 2 May 1385 and was succeeded by his son, Miguel II. Under Miguel II, the Deltinian rebellion was mostly crushed with some holdouts in Abdan that would be fully defeated in 1403. In 1387, Miguel II authorized the third voyage to officially claim the San Carlos Islands as a colony of Creeperopolis.

History

Under Colón Cámarillo

Conversion of Natives.

On 1 June 1387, Miguel II proclaimed the establishment of the Captaincy General of the San Carlos Islands to govern the San Carlos Islands in representation of the monarchy. He proclaimed Colón Cámarillo as the Capitan General of the Captaincy General and he began his final voyage to the San Carlos Islands. He would never see Creeperopolis again. The same three ships were taken, but six additional ships were also carrying hundreds of Creeperian families to settle the islands. Around 4,500 Creeperian men, women, and children were aboard the nine ships.

Colón Cámarillo's fleet arrived at the northernmost tip of Admiralia and continued south until they reached San Nicolás. There, 1,000 of the settlers departed and permanently settled in San Nicolás. Colón Cámarillo replaced Gutiérrez Valdivia with Francisco Villagra Velázquez as being in charge of San Nicolás and appointed him as Mayor, the first Creeperian Mayor in the San Carlos Islands. Colón Cámarillo and Gutiérrez Valdivia took seven of the nine ships to Cámarillo where 3,500 more settlers permenently stayed. Colón Cámarillo appointed Gutiérrez Valdivia as Mayor of Cámarillo and made it the capital city of the Captaincy General on 15 September 1387. The name of the city was also officially changed to Cámarillo. One ship with 500 men commanded by Diego Kassandro Moreno was sent to continue exploring the archipelago and continue mapping the are and return to Creeperopolis. The ship continued to navigate the archipelago and returned to Salvador on 3 February 1388, ending the three voyages of Colón Cámarillo.
