1869 CE
Orélie-Antoine de Tounens, also known as the possibly self-proclaimed King Orelie-Antoine of Araucania and Patagonia, sails back to Araucanía through Buenos Aires in 1869 after having spent the past seven years in France.
The Mapuche are surprised to see him because Chileans had told them that they had executed him.
De Tounens proceeds to reorganize his realm and again attracts the attention of the Chilean authorities.
Colonel Cornelio Saavedra Rodríguez promises a reward for his head but the Mapuche decide to defend their unusual ally.
