so, uhhhh, new hood just dropped.
Welcome to Veridia!
I'm going to make some posts showing off the lots and Veridia's inhabitants. If you're not into historical-flavored games, go ahead and add 'Eulalia: Veridia' to your blocklist and I'll see you when I inevitably bounce back into Middleground!
Ages ago I was messing around with my medieval CC folder and was like, 'what if I make an iron age neighborhood?', and then it morphed into being inspired by Iron Age Britain specifically. Heavy emphasis on the inspired. (Also, I hate building roundhouses in this game.) So I'm pretty sure at this point it's just 'generic medieval'. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ oh well.
Anyway, this is actually pretty different from how I normally play. I'm actually having to balance taking care of sims' needs and their wants. There's a lot of Sun & Moon sets I'm learning to use, but we'll see how in depth the trade economy gets, lmao. Veridia also is a lot smaller than Middleground—just seven households, plus four townies in each age group.

Plant of the Day
Monday 4 November 2024
In late autumn and remaining into early winter the flowers of Miscanthus sinensis var. condensatus 'Cosmopolitan' (eulalia, Japanese silver grass) add interest to the border. This tall deciduous grass produces arching green leaves with white margins and pale green midribs. It will thrive in a fertile, moist but well-drained soil in full sun.

Today (September 24th), the city of Barcelona celebrates its festa major (Catalan holiday for the local patron saint), dedicated to the Virgin of Mercy (Mare de Déu de la Mercè, in Catalan).
Usually, on this holiday of La Mercè, or at least on the days around it, it rains. The legend says that it's not rain, but the tears of Saint Eulàlia —old patron saint of Barcelona—, who cries because the city forgot her.
In this post I'll explain who was Eulàlia (according to the legend) and what happened that made her lose the position as the city's main patron saint.
1. Saint Eulàlia of Barcelona, martyr
Saint Eulàlia is believed to have lived in the 4th century AD, when the Roman emperor Diocletian was persecuting Christians. Eulàlia lived in Sarrià (village near Barcelona, nowadays a neighbourhood of Barcelona). She was only 13 years old, but she knew she was a good speaker so she went to see Dacian —the Roman governor in Barcino (modern-day Barcelona)— to try to convince him to stop the persecution of Christians in his territory.
The Roman governor accused her of going against the emperor's orders and sentenced her to suffer as many tortures as her age: they beat her on the streets, teared her skin off with hooks, marked her body with burning irons, forced her to stand on her feet on top of a burning grill, cut off her breasts, scratched the inside of her tights with rocks, threw boiling oil in her injuries, poured melted lead on her, locked her naked in a prison cell full of fleas, and tried to burn her; but during her whole tortures she had been praying, and by the time they tried to burn her, the flames moved away from her and attacked her torturers instead.
The most famous one out of the tortures was when she was put inside a barrel full of broken glass, knives and nails, and she was thrown down a hill 13 times to roll on them.
In the end, she was crucified naked on a cross shaped like an X to make her die in an dishonourable way. Then, a miracle happened. Some say that her hair grew quickly to cover her breasts and sex; others say that a snow storm suddenly appeared and covered her in snow. The thirteenth torture killed her, but the passerbies saw how her soul turned into a white dove that came out of her mouth and ascended into heaven.
Two scenes from a Medieval altarpiece that explained Saint Eulàlia's story, by Bernat Martorell. Nowadays it's in Museu Episcopal de Vic (Vic, Catalonia).
She became a local hero, was canonized as a saint and declared patron saint of Barcelona.
Centuries later, during the Islamic invasion in the Middle Ages, her body was unburied and hidden to make sure the Muslim armies wouldn't profane it. From then on, the location of her body was lost until the year 877, when Bishop Frodoí found her hidden tomb under the church Santa Maria de les Arenes (nowadays Santa Maria del Mar). Her remains were moved to the Cathedral of Barcelona, where they remained until the Cathedral was sacked during the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939).

2. Our Lady of Mercy
Our Lady of Mercy is one of the aspects of under which the Virgin Mary is worshipped. She became popular in Catalonia in the 13th century, after a night of August 1218, when she appeared in the dreams of the king James I and two religious men who would later be canonized as saints (Pere Nolasc and Ramon de Penyafort), ordering them to start a new Order destined to rescuing Christian prisoners who had been kidnapped by Saracens.
In the year 1687, a terrible locust plague attacked the city of Barcelona, as well as much of Catalonia. The desperate population of Barcelona asked the Virgin of Mercy for help. The City Council promised that they would nominate the Virgin of Mercy as the city's patron saint if She freed it from the locusts. Soon, the locust plague ended, and the City Council kept their promise, though the change didn't receive official permission from the Pope until 200 years later, in 1868.
3. Protest and change
Barcelona's population didn't forget that for so many centuries there was great devotion for Saint Eulàlia. A group of citizens showed up to the Church of Mercy and threw stones at the city's authorities, asking for Saint Eulàlia to be the patron again. After this event, the City Council decided that Eulàlia should be co-patron.
4. The holiday
Since then, and particularly since the 1900s, the day of the Virgin of Mercy became the most popular festa major (Catalan holiday celebrated with big parties and folk culture on the day of the local patron saint) for the whole city together. Though each neighbourhood (nowadays they're neighbourhoods of Barcelona, but most of them used to be towns that became attached to the city with the industrial expansion) keep their own festa major and Saint Eulàlia is also still celebrated in February, La Mercè is the biggest festa major in Barcelona.

best beloved @philtstone tagged me in SEVEN SENTENCE SUNDAY so here are seven sentences from a future chapter of the grown up eulalia fic
Oliver would hate it. The thought gives her kind of a kick. She sips her drink and listens to her parents talk about Bea’s college applications and the baby’s art classes. It occurs to her that her parents actually like each other, like, as people. Every silence that falls between them is companionable, every tease is good-natured and met with laughter. When the food arrives, plates steaming, they split it like they said they would. Her dad always gives her mom the bigger half of the sandwich.

Work hard, party harder. 🤘 The sims of Veridia have built a festival square in the heart of the village for their annual celebrations and other parties, with space for music and dancing, feasting, and, of course, games! Complete with anachronistic public bathroom, because I'm running out of places to hide toilets in this neighborhood.
Weddings, however, are always celebrated at the handfasting tree up in the hills. How romantic!
#TS2#eulalia: veridia#eulalia: exteriors#Veridia has five festivals on its calendar: three knockoffs of Beltane/Samhain/Yule#a generic harvest festival#and a 'shortest night' midsummer festival
