Minor Former Colonies of Kyrenaia

**Minor Former Colonies of Kyrenaia** are a number of smaller, former pieces of the Kyrenaian Colonial Empire, which became independent at one point or the other - in the majority of cases, this happened during the Decolonization Wars from 1923 to 1965.

Nations like Markaz or Lahharenyu are not listed here due to these nations having some international acclaim.

## Eadhra

Independent since 1957, the Republic of Parannilam almost immediately had to fight internal uprisings - the great enemy, which united all the factions during the War of Independence, was gone. Within the decade, the Republic of Parannilam turned into a hollow puppet and collapsed in 1971 into several successor states:

* Cutantiram.
* Malali.
* Catupram
* Puliram.
* Pulvekal.
* Pankara Katarai.

As per the Mulaam Peace Accords of 1959, Kyrenaia keeps itself out of the internal affairs of Eadhra and its successor states, until newer treaties enabled the forming of diplomatic relations with some of these entities, most notably Pankara Katarai.

In early 2020, following the first cases of the COVID-19 Virus in Cutantiram, the local dictator, President-For-Life Ravi Enrerum, used the chance to introduce new repressive measures against his population, as well as to use the outbreak, and the fact, that the first cases in neighbouring Malali were reported a few days prior, to conduct a propaganda campaign against Malali. Its dictator, General Konturamarka, responded in kind. Political experts believe, that in 2021 or 2022, both countries will be at each other's throats.

Layla is openly bisexual and has a tendency to flirt with every single-woman she comes across (and meaning it).

## Personal Relations

### Leonard Lách of the Tribe of Galway

Having grown up in Iolafara, between Scilly and Iolar House, Layla of course knew Leonard as a child and as she is two years older then him, she was ahead of him. To say, that a fierce, if one-sided rivalry, developed would be an understatement - the curious thing, however, as both realized, was, that Leonard could not beat Layla with the sword and Layla could not beat Leonard with the bow. After Layla's graduation in 2012, the two walked different paths, but remained in touch with each other.

It was not until 2015, when Leonard and Layla met again on the field, this time in a swordsman competition. Layla was surprised at how good he had become (under the tutelage of her great idol, Marla Cróimiam of the Tribe of Cork), but still emerged victorious and did so time and time again.

### Marla Faorach of the Tribe of Cork

Like for many young women in the Free Lands, who prefer the sword, Marla Cróimiam is Layla's big and great idol.

The two fought each other time and time again, with sometimes victorious, sometimes the other being on top.

### Alaina Oscailte of the Tribe of Antrim

Alaina and Layla got to know each other in 2018, actually on one of Alaina's first days at the Slácan Bar. Layla was a nice and charming customer,

While the two did share a bed with each other from time to time, they never thought about going steady.

Kyrenaian Tea Culture

The **Kyrenaians are tea drinkers**, were so since ancient times (Allat, the Mother Goddess of the Kyrenaian Pantheon, is a tea drinker herself and so are her subjects) and while the *Camellia sinensis* is rarely used, the Kyrenaians pride themselves in their herbal teas. Part of the Hammam-Experience is a cup of tea.

*Shay*, as the Kyrenaians call it, and many of the traditions around it are older then the Sultanate itself, successfully having dated back to the 1st century CE.

## Herbal Teas

### Hal

Hal Tea, or cardamon tea,

Na'na

Na'na Tea, or mint tea,

## Cultural Significance

### Tea Ceremony

#### Proper Serving

When in a prim and proper household, the simple act of serving tea by a Tea Maid, usually a daughter of the house, becomes a ceremony. While the Tea Maid can be dressed up, the less formal the occassion, the more common her dress becomes.

Standing on the ceremony is usually a sign of the strictness of the household.

While serving the tea, the Maid must not touch anyone (doing so would reveal her as someone unused to the tea ceremony, being touched would be a grave insult), placing the glass or cup of tea in front of the oldest person at the table first, then moving on onto the highest ranking guest (usually, that is instructed by the host before the ceremony), the host being last and the one to thank the Tea Maid. The Tea Maid is also to remain upright and stoic, bending her knee to set the cup down.

While the tea is served, the guests and hosts are to remain silent, contemplating.

When she is finished serving the tea, the Tea Maid is to take the tray in front of her body, bowing deeply to the assembly. The host is to relieve her of that by a bow of the own head, then the Tea Maid is to rise, make a step back and retreat to the wall behind the host (or in some households the edge of the carpet, it depends on space and local customs), walking backwards and settling down. She is to settle down on knees and feet, head slightly inclined, tray in front of the body, eyes closed as if meditating, ready to provide refills at a moment's notice.

Military History of Kyrenaia during the Colonial Era (1632-1852)

The **Military History of Kyrenaia during the Colonial Era (1632-1852)** covers the military history of the Sultanate of Kyrenaia during more then two centuries of Colonial Expansion and various wars both abroad and within, most famously the Fenchu-Rebellion of 1655 to 1660.

The era began in 1652 with and ended in 1852 with the establishment of the Armies of the Five Deserts, which replaced the more private armies of the Beys, Khans and Ilkhans.

## History

* 1652-1655: Substantial reforms initiated by General Laila Sariqalead take shape and root.

## Distinctive Types of Troops

### Sepahi - Heavy Cavalry

The Sepahi was a land-user under a Bey, who worked for him as a soldier for a reduced tenure (be that tenure be paid in money or in tithe). With progressing centuries, they were more of a rural militia, comparable to the Rural Police of modern times, responsible for keeping the streets and highways free of bandits,

   Many Khans and Ilkhans also had their own corps of Sepahi, known as the Sepahi al'Khan or Sepahi al'Ilkhan, Sepahi of the Khan or Ilkhan respectively. These men were salaried professional soldiers and heavy cavalry, armoured and equipped with lances, swords and jevelins.

Over the course of the 18th century, the Sepahi's importance in the way Kyrenaians waged war more and more declined and the economic factors of land tenure became more and more important. With the foundation of the RKA in 1852, the Sepahi disappeared finally.

### Qizilbashi - Militia

Usually Rifle-Armed, although that could range from ancient arqebuses to modern muskets

### Samazani - Swordsmen

The Samazani, also known as Kyrenaian Dervishes, were a

### Fellahini

   Originally Subsistence Agriculture, then men recruited from that social level and armed with muskets, the core of the infantry

## Organization

Most of the forms of organizations were formed in the organizational reforms initiated by General Laila Sariqalead between 1652 to 1655

### Alaya

The term Alaya is often translated as Regiment, usually used for Cavalry Units.

## Mercenaries

### Selkie-Mercenaries

By 1863, the last contracts for Selkie-Mercenaries ran out.

Trying

**Trying** (or **Trying to do Things Better**) is a song from Calling All Engines!

## Extended Lyrics

Anything that Diesels do
Steamies know that they can too
Diesels! Steamies! Engines who
Try to do things better
They both have a different role
"We need oil!", "We need coal!"
All of us have just 1 goal
Trying to do things better!
Who can shunt the most trucks of bricks
On trains that are much longer?
Steamies may get up to tricks
But Diesels are much stronger
Who has gleaming piston rods
And paintwork bright and shiny?
Who can pull the longest train
And still keep perfect timing?
Anything that Diesels do
Steamies know that they can too
Diesels! Steamies! Engines who
Try to do things better
They both have a different role
"We need oil!", "We need coal!"
All of us have just 1 goal
Trying to do things better!
(*instrumental solo*)
Who goes bumping into trucks
Causing so much trouble
Who can lift those heavy loads
And clear the lines of rubble
Who can only honk their horns
While Steamies whistle loudly
Who's that straining up the hill
While Gordon steams by proudly?
Anything that Diesels do
Steamies know that they can too
Diesels! Steamies! Engines who
Try to do things better
They both have a different role
"We need oil!", "We need coal!"
All of us have just 1 goal
Trying to do things better!
Who can shunt the most trucks of bricks
On trains that are much longer
Steamies may get up to tricks
But Diesels are much stronger
Who has gleaming piston rods
And paintwork bright and shiny?
Who can pull the longest train
And still keep perfect timing?
Anything that Diesels do
Steamies know that they can too
Diesels! Steamies! Engines who
Try to do things better
They both have a different role
"We need oil!", "We need coal!"
All of us have just 1 goal
Trying to do things better!
All of us have just 1 goal
Trying to do things better!

The **Lapa**, also known as the **Sea Fox**, is an animal species endemic to the Free Lands, in particular to the Oileánra-Archipelago.

## Characteristics

Adult Lapas reach an average height at the brow of around one metre and can reach around 2.5 metres in length from tip to tip. They weigh less then thirty kilograms.

The quadrupeds with three small toes and webbing between them are excellent swimmers and runners, fully amphibious and relishing in it, both as hunters and as prey - it has been observed, that especially the young can and will retreat into the water when threatened on land and out of it when threatened in the ocean. Lapas, however, do not have gills, so, much like whales, they need to take air before diving and usually prefer either lakes or shores.

- poison glands, secrete poison through their skins - irritating for humans, deadly for mouses

### Genetic Disorders

In 2015, Amy Ramallae of the Tribe of Monaghan found a Lapa with a birth defect, which led to him having no poison glands, which made him mostly harmless. Research on him concluded, that such a defect could be reproduced and fox breeders began their work.

## Health

Lapas are omnivores, prefer a diet of meat, however.

## History

From 2017 onwards, Lapas became available as pets due to selective breeding,

## Notable Specimens

* Cealg, under the ownership of Amy Ramallae of the Tribe of Monaghan.
* Ga, under the ownership of Asteria Aoibhiúil of the Tribe of Wicklow.
Christmas Time is Here

## Lyrics

Christmas time is here
Happiness and cheer
Fun for all that children
Call their favorite time of year
Snowflakes in the air
Carols everywhere
Olden times and ancient rhymes
And love and dreams to share
Sleigh bells in the air
Beauty everywhere
Yuletide by the fireside
And joyful memories there
Christmas time is here
We'll be drawing near
Oh that we could always see
Such spirit through the year

Machine Gun, Light, Model 2009

The **Machine Gun, Light, Model 2009** (**MGLM 2009**) is a bullup light machine gun designed to be used in close spaces like houses.

## Design

The MGLM 2009 is a bullup squad support weapon, designed to provide fire support to infantry sections. As such, it is a relatively light, high powered weapon using the same gas-operated open rotating bolt as the  CAM 2008. Development began in 1999, at the same time as the  LRM 2006, and suffered from the same problems, mostly the high costs.

This problem was solved in the same was as with the LRM 2006, less elusive materials.
Due to the higher stress put on the barrel, reinforced stainless steel with octogonal grooving was used, while the internal workings are made of normal stainless steel. Like with the LRM 2006, stock and grip are made of polymers over a frame of light steel.

Derek

## Bio

The Fat Controller realised Bill and Ben needed help and sent for Derek, but Derek's cooling system overheated on Gordon's Hill and BoCo had to come to the rescue. The news of the rescue went through the North Western Railway's rumour mill in due course, until a confused Percy informed Bill and Ben that Derek had a toothache. Bill and Ben were apprehensive of Derek as a result, but forgot their fear when Derek's cooling system overheated yet again and they had to help him home. Derek was then sent to the Works to be mended.

Derek returned later in Calling All Engines!, pulling a goods train up Gordon's Hill.

According to the Official Website, Derek now spends most of his time at the quarries and clay mines near Brendam Docksworking with Bill and Ben.

## Persona

Derek is a jolly, enthusiastic diesel engine, who was brought in to assist Bill, Ben, and BoCo at the China Clay quarry. Unfortunately, due to his engine, he is highly prone to teething troubles, namely overheating and suffering frequent breakdowns, for which he is apologetic for the inconvenience. As a result, he spends many a day having his engine tended to. But Derek is a likeable chap and even Bill and Ben decided that they liked him due to his friendly nature. Derek has an infectious charisma, is keen to help anyone around him, and has a passion for sorting things out in a jiffy - if his cooling system lets him.

## Basis

[1]

Derek is based on a BR Class 17, also known as the Clayton Diesel-electric Type 1. Derek's problems were undoubtedly inspired by those of his basis, as the twin Paxman engines of the real Class 17s were unreliable, being prone to problems with the camshaft, cylinder head, and other areas. Because of these problems, all Class 17s were withdrawn by the end of 1971, after less than 10 years of service. One Class 17, D8568, is preserved at the Chinnor and Princes Risborough Railway in South Oxfordshire.

## Livery

Derek is painted in the British Railways Brunswick green livery with yellow warning panels. His window frames are lined white and he has the BR "Ferret and Dartboard" crest on his sides.
