Geschichte Chronicles: the Saga of Tercero Padilla

Geschichte Chronicles: the Saga of Tercero Padilla, often shortened to Saga of Tercero Padilla, is a Renesian action-adventure animated TV series featuring the sea adventures of the Ventoran explorer Tercero Padilla in the 9th century and his voyage from Serat to Salia, it was also the last animated series directed by Caroline Abt before leaving the animation industry. The Saga of Tercero Padilla was well-received internationally and the Tercero Padilla story continued through comic books created by Caroline Abt. The story is based on multiple accounts and Tercero's diary, however, there was embellishment for the story's sake.

Setting
The setting is the world as is in the 9th century historically, with no change to the political situation or deviations. A lot of research has been put into the setting to get it as historically accurate as possible, however, not all information was readily available and the studio had to make up any missing information.

Plot
The main plot follows Tercero Padilla's adventure in a condensed manner compared to his real-life adventure. The story starts with Serat and ends when he reaches Salia, with two extra episodes entailing his other adventures. In the story Tercero finds himself in a place he barely calls home and leaves to find a better one, after going to many port cities he and his crew finally found a place to call home in Salia. Tercero in this series is a bit fantastical, overpowering many opponents on his own which did not happen historically.

The plot also focuses on Tercero's friends and crew and how they helped him in their own ways, from navigation, cooking, supply management, trading and even critical thinking. Tercero's family quickly became unimportant after the first few episodes and was barely ever mentioned again.

Reception
Internationally, Saga of Tercero Padilla was well received and many fans wanted to see a second season, however, Caroline Abt did not want to direct another animated series but continued the story through a comic book series that goes by "Saga of Tercero Padilla: Continue!" which started in 2007 and saw its conclusion in 2016.

Historical inaccuracies
This is a list of historical inaccuracies in the show:
 * Tercero was a great fighter and duellists, but he did lose some duels which were not touched upon in the series.
 * While Tercero's brother did hire the crew, the ship itself was given by their father in an effort to end their rivalry without having to pick sides.
 * There were no official records of Tercero naming his ship, the studio gave his ship the name the Tercero.
 * There are no records of the mentioned governor ever existing in Mitruhmoer in Mudruvese records and it is only ever mentioned in Tercero's diary.
 * The fight with pirates in the second Mudruvese port is likely sensationalized from Tercero's diary which referenced a harrowing escape from a dangerous and corrupt port.
 * Tercero never mentioned they were transporting a Germutrak noble specifically, he only mentioned that he took with him people from Germutrak to Asidama.
 * Tercero never mentioned the city he went to in the Varic empire, there are other port cities that Tercero could've gone to and Renes is an unlikely option as it requires the crew to navigate a river to go there.
 * The series does not document the full travel of Tercero, there are some places that Tercero went to that were never mentioned in the show and were skipped over.
 * Although Asidama was a hub of maritime trade at the time the show is set, the treasure fleets mentioned in the episode "To Asidama" would not set sail for another five centuries, during the reign of King Furuttiibana XII.
