how many days til Christmas is it?

A young lord glanced upon the missive. "Y hate adrians, they reek of spoiled milk." He spat on the missive.

The young heir sat within the confinements of Marsana’s keep, in particular his quarters. Tucked beneath his sheets. He held an expression of sorrow, both physically and mentally drained from the attack last saints day. “Y must be strong.” He muttered to himself repeatedly, as if he had been a broken record.

The ‘ker looked at the missive, barely reading even a word. Reaching the bottom he’d show visible disgust. “What the **** is a ‘Lord Commander’ and why do they feel entitled to be above the princes signature, ******* troglodyte.” Spitting on the missive, Relnol then crumbled it up and tossed it into his fireplace.

A soft smile would form upon Lujain's scarred face. "May Allah or Godan see to it that he reaches as the Canonist's would say, the seven skies. A good man, and an even greater King." Lujain would kneel before the Majlid building, setting a candle down, he would light it. "May you rest and be guided, Subhanallah." Fixating his gaze upon the horizon. "Long Live the King."

Glancing upon the missive, Relnol cracked a smile. “Mal’onn finally got some *******.”

The Senior Corporal glanced upon the parchment which had been presented to him. “Who will take this up?”

Demetrius var Ruthern, son of Gaius jumped with joy. "Papej jest more busy-er. This means Y can pull more pranks with sestra Charlotte." A devious grin formed on the young boys face.

Smiling upon the document, Lujain would offer brief words of joy. "They used the name I made!"

Instead of the usual Lujain peering upon the letter, it had been Hreidunn. "You were an excellent musin, one of my best dockmasters I'd say." Then smiling upon the document as he set it down upon the desk.

Still bashful, Demetrius his from hid newly born twins. Afraid they’d be exactly like his sister, Charlotte. Remaining in a corner, curled into a ball with his glowing whale. “No more.” He’d repeat. “No more..”

Lujain Al-Jabir blankly gazed upon the missive. ”Perhaps the Emirate will be added to the covenant.” he smiles brightly. “Might have to ask of Ledicort for such a thing though.”

Relnol danced around. “Look at me, my signature finally made it on a document.” Relnol clapped as he hopped in a circle. “Dunno what it is but I finally feel needed.”

Demetrius Laonicus var Ruthern awaited birth, for finally his father managed to pull through, as pathetic as he may be.

Good luck outside of lotc, my ban has made me realize how addicting it is. Good for you for being able to know when it affects your personal life

Relnol glanced upon the parchment. "This may be important since my mali'onn signed it, however there seems to be valah titles on it aswell." As he stated such he folded it into a paper airplane, tossing it out of his attic and quite possibly into the square of Nor'asath. "Now to the pressing matter, how do I get out of my attic, been stuck here for elven years now.."

Credits : The Farfolk Cultures: Qalasheen _______________________________________ _______________________________________ Qalasheen farfolks are defined as desert dwellers who speak the language of Qali, follow the cultural traditions of their tribal ancestors, and have faith and follow the teachings if I’imam Rashidun. These farfolk are the most common cultural, organized group within the human subculture. The Qalasheen found their prominence during the age of Athera with the establishment of the Caliphate of Khalestine. This group of people have a unique look and culture that differentiate themselves from their human cousins in the north. _______________________________________ Physical Appearances Qalasheen are easily identifiable compared to heartlanders and highlanders. Their skin holds a dark, olive complexity that helps shelter them from the harsh rays of the desert sun. These people maintain a lean body figure to keep them agile and fast. It is unlikely to see a Qalasheen dawning a light color of hair, instead they tend to have dark brown, and black hair. For male farfolks beards are revered as a sign of strength and wisdom among their peers. Beards are grown as long as possible and groomed to keep them looking good and sharp. Qalasheen clothing differs significantly from their northern cousins. Farfolks are found wearing light, airy clothing that covers them from the sun but does not cause overbearing heat from the sun. Instead of wool or cotton, qalasheen prefer to use materials like silk when designing their clothes. It is common to see qalasheen men wearing turbans to help protect their heads from the heat of the sun. Women in contrast, wear hijabs, which hold a similar function, but also have religious representation that many follow. Names حرية Farfolk names consist of religious and cultural meanings that take major importance within the culture of the qalasheen. Like other humans, Qalasheen hold a first name, these tend to be unique, religious names, used to differentiate family members between each other and give them a unique identity as they grow up throughout the world. Common names that can be found are Abdullah, Hakim, Omar, and Fatima. Following the first name comes a familial name. These names hold more importance within a household and represent a major point within a bloodline. These names can consist of a tribe, a major ancestor, or a cultural figure that has impacted the family in memorable ways that are remembered for generations. Weapon Preferences It is unlikely to see a Qalasheen wielding a broadsword, longsword, Mace, etc. Instead these people tend to dedicate their lives to the mastery of more light and curved weaponry like the shamshir or scimitar. The shape of these weapons are not the only unique feature they hold. Most metal weapons the qalasheen use are forged using kadarsi steel, a metal that is unique to the regions of the desert and the qalasheen. This alloy creates beautiful textures across the blade of any weapon it is forged in. Instead of a strong steel or iron being used for armor to protect the body, qalasheen instead tend to favor leather and other light materials to protect themselves. As stated, qalasheen are lean, fast people, meaning that their armor reflects this and gives them a speed advantage within battle. Homesteads Due to the desert areas that qalasheen tend to settle in, their structural designs help make their hot and humid lifestyles more bearable. The art of constructing with sandstone has become a well acquired skill, adorned by the leadership and people alike for its mass production and abundance within the desert. Though sandstone is the primary usage for buildings, it does not mean that towns and cities lack beautiful colors. Dyes and terracotta are used to add beautiful and vibrant colors to buildings, streets, palaces and any building possible. The colors are unique and help distract the locals from the hot sun and dreary atmosphere that surrounds their walls. Throughout the centuries the qalasheen have been praised throughout the world for their extravagant palaces that they built for religious and monarchical uses. The palaces are always easily distinguishable from all other buildings within a city, towering over everything else, covered with spirals and hanging gardens for the people to enjoy. They are the centerpiece of every qalasheen city, and the function of governmental business that is done. It is said that when the first outsiders had seen a qalasheen palace, they reported back to their homes that they had found the seven skies itself within the physical realm. The Arts The qalasheen are obsessed with the music and arts. Many men and women dedicate their lives to creating poetry, painting, music, stories and much more. These creative pieces tend to take religious or historical stances that help educate the youth and give moral concepts in more receptive ways. Vast books of poetry have been published from qalasheen poets who wanted to share their works within the world. Any library found in the Qalasheen town or city has shelves upon shelves of works, all being used heavily. Music is used as a way to rally the qalasheen together through their mutual love of the arts. Even when marching into battle the farfolks sing songs and hymns to keep a cheery and united tone before meeting their enemies in battle. A life dedicated to music is considered highly honorable and desired by many common born qalasheen across the desert. _______________________________________ All in all, qalasheen are a unique and vibrant culture that is incomparable to its other human counterparts. Their vast history, culture, and religion make them a hearty group that have stood the test of time. They shall continue for as long as the realm and race of humanity survives and will not falter from any obstacle that stands in their way. _______________________________________ Al Badawi _______________________________________ Emirate Directory _______________________________________ Al'iiman Rashidun's Book of Peace _______________________________________ Qalasheen Language _______________________________________ Oasis Cuisine _______________________________________ Akhlaq Etiquette _______________________________________ Badawi Celebratory Traditions Signed, Lujain Al-Jabir.

Relnol stopped dancing, tossing his spike and sword down. “Ne fun in Nor’Asath.”

Hreidunn, Member of the Shields of Ablution remained confused at what the Shields of Absolution were.
