Curly Mountain Fox

The **Curly Mountain Fox**, or **Cuachanach** or **Curly** for short, is a small vulpine critter, living all over the Mainland, but with a special cultural influence in the Silver Mountains.

## Characteristics

The Curly Mountain Fox has his name because of his curly tail (trying to unwind it causes these cuties a lot of pain) and hair on their heads, as well as because of their natural habitat, the mountain ranges and hills all over the Free Lands.

They are mostly seen as pests by the farmers, for they tend to raid the chicken coops, but flee at the sight of a human or a Grey Wolf  (domesticated or not) and are way faster then either. Those without chicken but with trees (for example apple trees) like them, thought, for birds in general are their favourite meal and they know, how to get them.

Not as cunning or with an as keen protective instinct as the Guarding Foxes, the Curly Mountain Fox is known to protect its own young even against insurmountable odds.

A few domesticated Curly Mountain Foxes can be found all over the Mainland, but since they have no real advantage besides being cute and intelligent, no one ever tried to make a big enterprise out of breeding them. Their fur, however, is very soft and comfy and can be worked into very soft pieces of clothing, but also very exclusive, thanks to their speed and the corresponding difficulty to get them.

## Health

Curly Mountain Foxes can breed with Ice Foxes.

## History

The history between the Selkie and the Curlies,

### Silver Mountains

The Silver Mountains are often assumed to be the origin of the Curly Mountain Fox,

It is a cultural standard for some people in or from the Silver Mountains to have the ears of their babies shaped into a pointy shape to some extend, in devotion to the Vulpine Mountain Deity Alisounos. They believe, that due to emulating the ears of the God will bring the grace, blessings and protection of the God. In the recent years, this worship fell a bit to the wayside, but one of the most well known recent examples of this custom is Professor Celina Ollamh of the Tribe of Monaghan.

### Curly Fur and Geansais

Due to the Curly Mountain Fox's rarity, the fur of one has become a rare and much sought after commodity as a present, showing the love and adoration of a hunter to his loved one. This also rises the prices quite steeply. Today, only four Geansais with the genuine fur of a Curly Mountain Fox are confirmed and known, one of which is in a museum.

Brecharn B-15 Morleidar

The **Brecharn B-15 Morleidar** was a Striker Unit designed for Strike Missions (a.k.a. a Strike-Striker) in service with the Muster of the High King from 1947 to 1956. Powered by turboprop magic engines, they were one of the last holdouts of propellers in the beginning age of jets, and were ultimately replaced by another turboprop-driven Striker Unit starting in 1954, the Brecharn B-22.

The Morleidar was a striker unit plagued with engine problems, in particular as the GLF-3 responded poorly to minor adjustments of the throttle and a habit of flameouts upon catapult launches - problems not noticed until then with the Slatochta S-19, which used the same engine.

A major piece of the culture of the Children of the Great Woods is their oral tradition of storytelling, known as *Dweudaeon*.

### Villages, settlements and other inhabited places

It is important to note, that the Children do not really differ between cities, towns, villages and other settlements, unlike the Selkie do. Even formally, for example, Lyloches is Lyloches, not the *Town of Lyloches*.

Head of every village is a Village Elder, who is usually assisted by a Grandchild of his or hers, similar to the Elders and their Cúramóiri.

Bore Hole Gun

**Bore Hole Guns**, or **Tollpholl Guns**, were a type of artillery produced by the Gabha Manufactories made in the foundry in Dún.

## System of production

In the previous system, which was quite prone to failure, centered around casting the canon in a single step with the molten metal (bronze or iron being the most common) being poured around a clay core. With the clay removed after the canon had cooled, the bore remained imperfect - much of the gunpowder's energy was lost due to that, as tight-fitting canonballs could not be made.

The Tollpholl System, on the other hand, cast a single, large block, with the bore being drilled into that block on a large machine, the new canon being rotated against the machine. This allowed these guns to be shorter and lighter without sacraficing range and firepower, as well as tighter manufacturing tolerances between bores and balls.

### Weights

The guns were available in several weights and lengths:

* Long Eight Pounder: A bit over a ton in weight, the Long Eight Pounder was less of a field piece and more of a highly mobile field piece with a range of
* Short Eight Pounder: An artillery piece of 850 kg in weight (on average, with carriage), with an maximum range of 1,500 metres (effective range 800 m with shot and 500 m with canister), crewed by 13 men and dragged by four horses. Field artillery piece.
* Short Four Pounders: An artillery piece of 675 kg in weight (on average, with carriage), with an maximum range of 1,200 metres (effective range 700 m with shot and 400 m with Canister), crewed by six to eight men, dragged by three to four horses.

Despite the possibility for it, Gabha did not decorate their guns, except when on request.

## History

The canons made their debut in 1718 during the Leuda Spring Festival.

In 1903, during the Battle of Anfa Ridge, the Younger Militia of Inis fielded two batteries Short Four Pounders, the last known usage of Bore Hole Guns in combat.
Brecharn B-16

The **Brecharn B-16** is a carrier-capable jet trainer Bebinni-Gléasai, primarilly used to train new Bebinni in handling larger, more advanced jet Strikers. Designed primarily for that purpose, and with the additional roles of light attack and reconnaissance, the B-16 remained in service over four decades.

After decommissioning by the Muster of the High King, in favour of the Brecharn B-31, many were bought by private flyers, many doing aerobatics with the Striker Unit. The B-16 is, since 1971, in service with the Polices of the High Kingdom and their Bebinni Units, being used for traffic observation and similar roles.

## Design

* engines:
	+ quite easy to handle and reignite
	+ less powerful then contemporary fighters, but more powerful then propeller trainers
* simple to operate, easy to maintain
* radio, radio compass, ejector
* oxygen mask
* upgrades:
	+ In Police Service, 2000: Heddawas Integrated Avionics System, little brother of the Cigfranna Integrated Avionics System

## Service History

### With the Polices of the High Kingdom

The Polices of the High Kingdom use the B-16 in roles suited for it, mainly in traffic control, ground support (both armed and unarmed), SAR (or more specifically, the S as the R is a tad complicated), during high-speed car pursuits, in observation roles, as air patrol, and for the control of large-scale public events and public order incidents. As the High Kingdom has no land borders and maritime patrol is the job of the Muster of Ships, the B-16 is not used for border patrol missions, however they could be used in such a role.

The B-16s in service with the Police retained their armament of two machine guns, but they usually carry other, non-military equipment on the hardpoints. Once a year, however, the Bebinni in Police Service are dispatched to train with the Muster of Horse and Foot for a week, refreshing their CAS-Knowledge (their role, should push come to shove).

The Polices consider replacing their B-16s with B-31s by 2030.

* The Soul of the beloved standing next to the own:
* The Soul of the beloved standing in the own shadow:
* The Heart of the beloved is desired:
* The Body of the beloved is desired: Simple, carnal love, based on the superficial attraction,

Carbine, Automatic, Model 2040

CAM 2040 in the hands of Miss Ramaha.

The **Carbine, Automatic, Model 2040**, or **CAM 2040**, is the newest service rifle of the SDF, introduced in 2040 (hence the name). It is the successor to the Carbine, Automatic, Model 2008 and started development in 2020, but problems with the new 5x33 mm Caseless Ammunition caused massive delays.

## Design

* complicated, but reliable mechanism: Magazine on top of the weapon, rounds vertical to the bore, fed downwards into rotary chamber, turned, cocks hammer, *trigger pull*, pin ignites primer, which ignited the powder booster charge, bullet is pushed down into the barrel, recoil reloads mechanism, rinse and repeat
* highly advanced polymers and alloys, keep weight low and costs up

### The Ammunition: 5x33 mm Caseless

* caseless ammunition, four compoments: solid propellant, primer, bullet, cap
* half the weight of previous ammunition
* less lethal due to less tumbling

### Design History

* looks like a normal rifle, intentionally - new technologies, from caseless ammunition to new materials
* troubled development of ammunition - cook-offs, mechanism breaking, lots of improvements before release
* started development in 2020

*The term Carman Fea redirects here. For other meanings, please see Carman Fea (disambiguation).*
The **Cult of Carman Fea** is the Selkie-Pagan Cult dedicated to the worship of Carman Fea, the Goddess of War and Science, as well as other aspects, in the Selkie-Pantheon. Her principle temple is in the City of Ironcastle, High Priest is Glynn Uisinn of the Tribe of Westmeath. Her heraldic animal is the Red-White Eagle.

A common blessing amongst warriors, which is derived from her nicknames of Fire-Goddes and Archer-Goddess, is: *Fire for the Fire-Goddess. Arrows for the Archer-Goddess. Let the Raven Ashes cover the remains.*

## Myths

### Character

Carman Fea is usually characterized as an polite, graceful person, both in language and in manners.

Compare and contrast to Rhiannon.

## History of the Cult

In the past, during the Ages of the High Kings, Carman Fea was indeed seen as primarily a War Goddess, the Swordmaidens being testament to that. With the Death of the Last High King, the worship shifted to her other aspects, the cities now putting more value on her as a Goddess of Commerce and Science rather then War, while Rhiannon stayed a more rural Goddess.

### Contemporary

Held in high regard amongst scientists, philosophers and other people, who work in scientific of engineering fields, as well as amongst soldiers and everyone fancying oneself as a warrior, Carman Fea is one of the most worshipped goddesses, right after Rhiannon. Most of her worshippers indeed are scientists, dimplomats, traders and doctors.

While many foreigners tend to see her as primarily a War-Goddess, that is not the case amongst the Selkie - in fact, Carman Fea's aspects are manyfold, namely Sciences, and all belonging to, including wisdom, Diplomacy, Medicine and Commerce, the latter together with Ladra.

Bebinni-Gascioch

The **Bebinni-Gascioch** (literally 'Warriors of the Bebinni', or 'Witch-Warriors') is the traditional term used by the Selkie for their military witches - be it of ancient High Kings or of modern witches.

The Muster has three kinds of combat witches: **Bebinni-Bitseaghi** (literally 'Female Wolf Witches'), they serve as ground combat witches, **Bebinni-Iorlai** (literally 'Eagle Witches'), they serve as flying witches, and **Bebinni-Siorcai** (literally 'Shark Witches'), they serve as special operations operatives. The Muster allows only for people, who finished their mandatory education, read Middle School, to join, so the minimum age of enlisting is 15 Springs.

## Doctrine

### Supplementary Service Bebinni

Supplementary Service Bebinni are basically reservists, mobilized as the last line of defense or to supplement active service Bebinni. Starting with the introduction of the Scuacaillí SC-16 in 1965, simpler, lighter Bebinni-Gléasai. From 1940 to 2000, every Bebinni reaching the age of 15 was trained in their handling and had to recertify once every year und 25. Additionally, the SC-19 and the Gawala are used in training roles. More grounded Supplementary Service Bebinni use older Striker Units as well, currently the Marcach XII BG-BB and the Dragani VII BG-BB.

Starting in 2000, this was changed into a (well-compensated) voluntary task. Aside from said compensation, many Witches joining the Musters are fast-tracked through their career path's training, for instance, Supplementary Officers are fast-tracked through officer training. If a Supplementary Servicewoman one career path wants to join another one, for instance a Supplementary NCO wanting to become an officer, said fast-track does not apply.

Supplementary Service Bebinni are organized into their own units, akin to a militia or replacement squadrons, two of them being the Supplementary Armoured Squadron Tyddynna Castle and the Supplementary Armoured Squadron Traeth Beach (a.k.a. the Cat Maid Squadron).
Cleanóiril-class Sloop

### Armament

2x twin 76mm guns, 4x ASW-rocket launchers, 4x ASW-Torpedo Tubes, Rails for mines and depth charges

The **Cleanóiril-class Sloop** was a class of sloops and ASW-ships introduced into the SDF-Navy in the 50s and 60s as a replacement of the Miodóg-class Sloops, which were getting older and older. They were part of the same modernization process as the Nocht-class Corvettes. In the 90s, they were replaced by the Sciath-class Corvettes.

Plagued by mechanical failures due the complex machinery arrangement and compact living conditions, the Cleanóiril-class Sloops were hated by their crews.

## Design

### 1976-Refit

The 1976-Refit of the Cleanóiril-class Sloops was less of a refit and more of an overhaul - with the money sparse and military expenditure unpopular due to the Yard Crisis, the SDF-Navy had to set priorities - and these were not with the Cleanóiril-class Sloops, but with the larger and more capable Nocht-class Corvettes.
Dobhareach Amphibious Tracked Vehicle

In the water. The aircraft is a Shane Airworks Lódálaí.

The **Dobhareach Amphibious Tracked Vehicle** was a tracked amphibious vehicle in service with the SDF-Army from 1940 to 1969, when the Crogall Amphibious Armoured Vehicle went into widespread service.

*Dobhareach* means hippo.

## Design

Since the foundation of the SDF, the armed forces have been aware of the need of a vehicle, which could support amphibious landings directly, move troops ashore and provide fire support - experiments were made and concepts tested, but in 1938, the breakthrough came: The Dobhareach Amphibious Tracked Vehicle.

Both Army and Navy working together, they soon came to a chassis, which would be used by a variety of amphibious vehicles. This was one of the only armament projects, which were carried out by the SDF itself and not an external company, although parts, like the main gun, were developed by external companies.

The Dobhareach was constructed of an all-steel hull with rubber seals. Seals of tree sap were tested, but found to be insufficient. Parts of the hull were hollow to allow for buoyancy. These parts were also separated into smaller, watertight compartments to minimize the effects of damages. These compartments could not be removed. Additionally, the Dobhareach was equipped with bilge pumps and radio.

Two small propellers, powered by the tank's engine, propelled the vehicle at speeds of up to 8 km/h over 140 kilometres. The commander steered via two small rudders. Once on land, the tank switched back to powering the tracks and being driven by the driver.

### Variants

The Dobhareach was produced in several variants, the three most popular of which were the actual ATV, the APC, which removed the turret and made space for a troop compartment of eight men, and the Armoured Engineer Vehicle, which removed the turret in favour of an excavator arm powered by the engine.

Additionally, a demiliterized version of the AEV enjoyed some popularity in the 60s and 70s in harbour construction projects, but nowadays, they are usually only found on scrapyards. The Iris Boarding School Complex Sensha-Do Team has five of these vehicles as part of their Historic Fleet.

### Armament

The turret houses the main armament, a high-velocity Gabha G-18 47mm Anti-Tank Gun and a Gabha R-22 light machine gun. Another machine gun was situated at the bow. While at first, it was planned for the Dobhareach to have a 20mm or 30mm gun in the turret, the SDF decided, that the 47mm gun would be more capable in this role. The gun had a total of

Condition as built

The **Brise-class Destroyer** was a class of destroyers built for the Navy of Ridderli in the 1930s and, after a refit in the late-40s and early 50s, they served as anti-submarine vessels.

They were, in the 1960s, replaced by the Pfeilfisch-class Frigates. Nowadays, there are only two vessels of this type left, *RRS Brise* and *RRS Zugs*, both at the Seefahrtsmuseum Broodeheim in Broodeheim.

Cruinneachán SPAAG

* Weight: 9.6 tons
* Length: 7.23 m
* Width: 2.35 m
* Height: 2.95 m
* Crew: 3 (driver and two gun operators)
* Armor: Aluminum
* Main armament: 2x Gabha G-116 30mm Revolver Cannons with 900 rounds (Mark IV Mount)
* Engine: 6-cylinder inline air-cooled diesel with 110 hp (82 kW) at 2,200 rpm
* Suspension: torsion bar
* Operational range: 550 km
* Speed: 75 km/h

The Cruinneachán SPAAG is a relatively new addition to the SDF-Army's Arsenals, a light SPAAG on the rear of a 6x6 truck with its own little radar and the ability to optically aim. The cannon can be dismounted from the truck and be used against infantry and lightly armoured targets on the ground (the gun can be aimed against either while on the back of the vehicle as well).

The Cruinneachán is a stopgap until the Sciath Air Defence Complex is widely available and integrated, which is estimated to be the case around 2025. After that, it is planned to use the remaining Cruinneachán SPAAGs in rear-duties such as base-defense.

Contrary to popular belief, the Cruinneachán SPAAG is not packed onto the back of a Gabha G 22.
Boatwright's Song

The **Boatwright's Song**, also known as **Chip's Song**, is a song of the Selkie about the boatwright Chip and a deal he made with the God Gavida.

## Lyrics (English Translation)

Chip worked as a boatwright,
As line from the very start,
Working in a boatyard
Building on the mighty Imeall.
One day Chip was lazy on his job,
As Gavida appeared to him,
He held a roll of silver
And a bucket full of nails.
Gavida said to little Chip:
'Take these nails and silver roll,
But you'll have to take this rat
And I will take your soul!'
Chip hated the rat with heart and mind,
The rat squealed and hissed
But the bucket full of nails and silver
Were too much to resist!
Chip went lazily to work
To get rid of the pesky rat
And there wouldn't be a problem
With its death after the fact.
But Gavida's rat rather wouldn't die,
No matter what Chip tried,
And the rat attacked the boatwright
And he bit him in the eye!
It seemed as if the Imeall's rats
Fell under Gavida's spell,
They ran after Chip no matter where he went,
they made his building life a living hell!
He slowly lost his mind,
He slowly lost his family,
He quickly lost his job,
He had to join the City's Navy!
A tree grows from a pip,
A yard will build a ship,
As Gavida is my master,
I will get you, Chip!
A tree grows from a pip,
A yard will build a ship,
As Gavida is my master,
I will get you, Chip!
The rats chased poor Chip
Up the gangplank of his rivership,
They bit him up the rear in its tender flesh
Until Chip finally flipped.
He cried to his Captain
To turn around the rig,
The Captain spied the madness
And they chugged in the brig.
Now Gavida's rat had his man,
He knew what he was to do,
He commanded the other rats
To chew through all the planks.
The water rushed in for the coldest caress,
The ship went down,
She was smashed around on rocks,
On which the rats danced around!
A tree grows from a pip,
A yard will build a ship,
As Gavida is my master,
I will get you, Chip!
A tree grows from a pip,
A yard will build a ship,
As Gavida is my master,
I got you, little Chip!"

Diplomatic Relations between the Sultanate of Kyrenaia and the United Island States of AHSCA

The **Diplomatic Relations between the Sultanate of Kyrenaia and the UIS** began on the 26th of Novembre 2017, with the Sultanate formally requesting permission to open an embassy in the UIS. Following shortly after that, Duchess Marcella Villa was on a state visit in Kyrenaia.

## History

In 2017, the Sultanate declared guarantees for the independence and safety of the UIS, including assistance in case of natural desasters. During the same visit, the relations also gained another angle, as Princess Aurelia and Duchess Marcella fell in love with each other, a relationship, that had to go through the first test in the following year.

Also part of these guarantees was the establishment of Naval Base Mokastana Northeast of the RKN.

In Mid-2021, the diplomatic relations broke down in the light of the Sultana ordering the breakup between Marcella and Aurelia. Within two days, the Embassies were called back and Naval Base Mokastana Northeast of the RKN was called back home, its facilities rendered unusable. The 2021 International Incident following the breakup of Princess Aurelia and Duchess Marcella soon emerged.
