Princely States of Armenia

Ashot, Prince of Princes, Prince of the Anatolians and Protector of the Catholicos and the Heavenly Church of Christ

.

The young leader enjoyed himself in his small palace in Yerevan, with plenty of bards and younger nobles, Ashot was young and left much of his administration to Smbat, his uncle. Smbat made a promise to his brother, to take care of the family and of Ashot. Smbat was named Lord Protector by the council of Princes, thus he shall rule until Ashot has at least finished his studies, which will most likely end when he’d 17.
 

Military: About 907 men are soldiers, 14 of which constituted the vanguard, which were the honour guard of the Principality and the Prince. 54 other men are equipped with makeshift weapons, made from an assortment of pieces from other weaponry. The rest are armed with crude and ancient weapons such as swords and spears, as well as bow and arrow. In the Armenian Highland cavalry is nigh useless, thus there are little horsemen, perhaps 30 men mounted.
 

Administration: The Princely States are divided, 1,967 men lived under the rule of Ashot in Yerevan, 500, mainly Hemshin Armenians - those who converted to Islam- live in the southern highlands they are regarded as the protectors of Yerevan, and live in smaller secluded villages, the worship of Allah is allowed by the prince, but they may not preach. The remainder live in the northern highlands, they are mainly sheep herders and farmers, some even live nomadically.
 

Actions: Smbat knew that the Princedom was poor, it needs revenue, he ordered peasants from the Northern Princedom to start working cotton and tabacco, something the populous should be used to do since many of their parents and grandparents grew said plants under the communist regime. Smbat also ordered plenty of expeditions to collect any other armenians in diaspora and to get a general census on the land. [MOD PLEASE]

Nation Backstory (a nice paragraph or two.):

When the world fell into chaos and the disgustingly anti-christian Bolshevik and Muslim alliance fell the remainder of the Armenian people were freed from their bond to the USSR and the Ottoman sucessor state. The old "Armenian" Soviet Socialist Republic had colapsed, and, in it's place warlords fought for power and influence, yet none truly had the support of the remainder of the armenian people in the area, and, they were seen as unfit and brutal oppressors. An Armenian Prince, by the name of Leo Avetis, that had united his people in Anatolia migrated his willing followers to return to their homeland.

Leo having already established himself as a solid and methodical ruler was considered a blessing by the Armenian people, he quickly defeated some of the weaker warlords, establishing a solid foothold in the Armenian Plateau. Having been used to defeat several turkish hosts in eastern Anatolia Leo was a capable mlitary leader, the warlords were no match to him, those who bended were given the title of Prince, while those who didn't where driven off and their land was aquired for the state. Leo was crowned Prince of Princes by the Catholicos, but he died 5 years later after due to an infected wound after leading an army against a Hemshin revolt, lead by the brother of the Hemshin prince.

Now a young boy of 15 rules the Princely States, the eldest son of Leo, Ashot Avetis.

Salazar stood upon the balcony, as thousands of people gathered to watch the parade, a glim in the leader’s eyes would appear as he sees the future of Portugal, the small country on the edge of a peninsula, march across the scare. The Great Generation, it was called, the most instructed and physically able generation in the history of Portugal. Although manpower was desperately needed if Portugal wished to develop their land, but, Salazar did not worry about this just yet.
 

One thing that did worry Salazar was Franco’s action against britain, the last thing the dictator wanted so near his fatherland was war, by either the Axis or the Allies, Salazar sent a telegram to his friend and ally.
 

“Caudillo, General and Prime minister of Spain, Francisco Franco;
I do not write you as an ally, nor as a neighbour, I write you as a friend and partner in this peninsula, I ask, as a friend, to cease the attack on Gibraltar, this will only bring strife and war to our peninsula. My country, Portugal, would not benefit from any conflict, and neither would your people.
Best wishes;
António de Oliveira Salazar, Professor, Doctor e Primeiro Ministro de Portugal.”

Salazar then met with the Generals of the army, there wasn’t a lack of men since conscription was mandatory, but armament was needed. Salazar considered buying vehicles from both Britain and Germany, thus he met with both the Ambassadors from the Nations to propose a deal to buy tanks from germany, and weapons from Britain. [Pok and Andrew pls]

The Portuguese economy was still not in it’s best shape, even with the increase of tungsten mines and the booming of the small mining sector in the country. Salazar was worried that, once the war was over, Portugal would go back to it’s state of near poverty, the Governor-Generals of Moçambique and Angola were ordered to search both for arable land and resources underground, corporations were told that if they developed the area more they’d be given rewards, perhaps even a slight say in the local governments of the colonies. [Mod please]

The Ministers and Generals of Salazar also warned the leader, giving free access of the azores to the British might send a wrong message to Herr Hitler and the Reich, thus, the British shall now be taxed 400000 Pound Sterling per month for the usage of the airbase.

The army also was considered very meek in comparison with other European countries, Portugal would now have at least 200.000 men at all times in the continent, and more when in war, if need be.

Salazar also started to invest in railways and in infrastructure, building various roads and a line that connected the Tungsten mines to Porto, the biggest port city.

“Deus, Patria, Familia.” - The lesson of Salazar

Portugal had been the greatest power Europe has ever seen, from the Americas to Nagasaki the flags of the small maritime country had been planted and a trading empire which eventually brought riches and prosperity to the land had flourished, but, all things must come to an end. The once proud nation now stood as a forgotten piece of land, almost as poor as it was before the great age of discovery.

There was a long and arduous task ahead of Salazar, a task of betterment, not only of Portugal but of his own personal character. For many years the Portuguese economy had been dependent on other countries, from wheat to coal, this would be no more. “Felizmente sós” that was what the name of the Salazarist doctrine was called, Proudly alone, Salazar ordered the country to be closed, no food imports all farmable land would be farmed, all workable mine would be worked, all damable river would be. This would be needed to sustain an independent country, which fell neither in the grasp of the Nazis nor the Allies.

But, an economy cannot survive solely on food, thus a country must establish economic ties. Salazar met with the German Ambassador proposing a deal. Tungsten, a resource that the Wehrmacht now needs if it wants to create explosives. Salazar wishes to sell Tungsten to the german war machine, for a price of course. Either german money or german equipment. [Pok please]

Salazar also wanted a more instructed nation, children in the Mocidade Portuguesa now had to go until 6th grade, with breaks in summer to harvest the wheat fields. New propaganda films where shot, showing great nationalism and patriotism

Dr. Atónio de Oliveira Salazar, 100th Prime Minister of Portugal.

- Things to keep in mind when writing (Troop count, resource pool, some weapons/technology)
After the unstable government that was the First Republic, and the ever rising prices of common goods and food, General Óscar Carmona on the 28th of May 1926 overthrew the failure of a Republic. Shortly after the General was re-elected as the President of the Nation, he closed the parliment and began a Military Dictatorship. Though, this new government did not bring stability in the first years, it actually changed little for the first years, no prominent figures govern with the General, the state is govern by a small posee of lower ranked military commanders. In the 25th of March 1928 however General Carmona organized a Presidential election and he's elected for another five year term, on the 18th of April he appoints José Vicente de Freitas as the new prime minister, and instituted António de Oliveira Salazar as the Minister of Finances. Conflicts between the Military faction of Freitas and the Catholic Faction of Salazar grew so much that Freitas left the government. Artur Ivens Ferraz was made prime minister but Salazar's influence grew more and more. In 1930 Ferraz was fired due to conflicts with Salazar, and was replaced by General Domingos, which allowed Salazar to gain more and more power, both in the finances and in politics.

In 1930 the military has stabilized Portugal and had to think about the future. In what way would the dictatorship continue? In 1933 Salazar gave the answer: Estado Novo. The New State (Estado Novo) was an highly conservative, anti-communist government headed mainly by Salazar as the Prime Minister. Salazar strived to make the country self suficient so it wouldn't have to rely upon Germany or England. Salazar also made some success in making all children go to school until the 4th grade, which improved the literacy rates, yet many parents decided not to let their children persue an academic career.

(Again, troop numbers are nigh impossible to find, yet the equipment is basically german and italian left overs).

Franco was known as the Caudillo, the equivalent to the Italian Duce and the German Führer. Francisco Franco was instituted into power on 1 October 1936. In 1937 became the leader of the Falange, assuming control after Manuel Hedilla and soon after he merged the Falange with many carlist groups, creating the Falange Española Tradicionalista y de las JONS which became the official party of Spain.

Franco won the Spanish civil war by using a methodical war of attrition, he imprissioned spaniards found guilty of adhering to republican liberal values, which Franco called a product of Bolshevik and a Judeo-Masonic Conspiracy which had been taking place since after the Reconquista.

(I couldn't find specifics on the military power of Francoist Spain, but their equipment is basically German and Italian older material.)

I would say true to this if it was not because that would require the fifth prophet to 1) Either be a follower of the church of canon or have a certain knowlegde of the church of canon. 2) this mostly prompts the acceptance of the other religions prophets as parts of your own eg. Muhammed said that Moses and jesus was both prophets of god (allah) but that they misunderstood the message and Muhammed/the coran gets it right. 

 

yes these 2 could both indeed have been true where the second is in the fact that the Iman al-Rashidun leaves room for other religions and the first is likely but most comepelling is the fact that it would make no sense for people of the Iman al-Rashidun to call him the "fifth prophet" instead of just "the prophet" when this is an independant religion - seeing as there is nowhere it states that the 2. is true. (in the scroll of the fifth prophet the church of canon and prophets are not mentioned)

The fifth prophet does not have to be part of the church of the canon. He can simply have been messaged by God or be part of a long oral tradition that tweeked or viewed the scrolls of the other prophets a different way. Canonism and the religion of the qalasheen (I don't remenber the name nor can I be bothered to look it up) have similar roots. The same way Islam says that Jesus is a prophet and has a reverence for him ( I am aware they differ on a few points specially on the matter of Jesus being the son of God). Thus sharing prophets with another creatorist religion should not be dismissed.

Just now, Prieur said:

Still the word of "allah" by the fifth prophet leads me to believe that there must have been someone to spread the faith of Allah? I mean it could be that he where refferring to canonism but that would not make a lot of sense for the future "Iman al-Rashidun" and how pork and alcohol suddently where outlawed

Yes. But Allah simply means God, cultural tweeks here and there, plus a fifth prophet, bam you have a new religion.

I found this too but it would be weird for us to call then prophets if they are from canonism? There is no explanation so therefore i assumed that it refers to earlier prophets. Especially since the 5th prophet already know of Allah as the true god (https://www.lordofthecraft.net/forums/topic/142273-the-scroll-of-the-fifth-prophet/) which must have meant that there have been a previous prophet to tell of Allah

 according to this

The prophets can still be shared as the faith of the qali is still a creatorist religion.

please no

Rain fell from the skies as a weary and aged veteran entered the halls of of Geldren. As per usual he gave the lord who sat upon the Lord’s chair a salute, his chest puffed in an outwardly fashion, his messy grey hairs escaped his helmet and his white amice embroidered with a golden cross of lorraine seemed more worn than usual. The aged chaplain stepped forwards, heavy bags under his eyes, he coughed violently into his arm, before resuming his walk towards the Count. A wrapped object laid upon the aged Chaplain’s hands, he fell to one knee  before raising himself. “With your permission my lord.” The Count looked upon him, giving a single nod, Jürgen step upon the dais he unwrapped the object, a pristine and golden lorraine cross was revealed.

 “As my father gave it ‘pon your brother in the day of his departure, I give it ‘pon you in the day of mine.” The Count looked perplexed but took the cross examining it. “Your departure?” Jürgen responded swiftly and with vigor, his visage was a sickly pale yet the man’s blue eyes gleamed with a God given strength. “Ja mein Herr, my departure, my departure from your service into another’s.” The combat hardened and aged veteran looked down, a slight tone of sadness appeared in his features. “God bless you my count, God bless this land, God bless Savoy. Ave Lucien, Deus Vult.” His last words filled with vigour and strength. Jürgen made his way upstairs towards the barracks, he fell to one knee as he coughed violently into the ground, he grabbed his throat almost if choking. Emery, a young knight paced forwards. “Everything alright, Chaplain?” The nigh dying man smiled as he was helped up. “How could I forget? I give you the task to keep and protect the relic which lays upon the chapel. Be its Custodian for me in my absence.” Without another word he made his ways up towards his private room. He laid upon the bed, and closed his eyes, said his last prayers and goodbyes and never opened them again.

Initially known as the Temple of the Faith, the Church as it is today was formed by King Horen I after he was contacted by the Aenguls and granted the prophecy of his line and the Scroll of Virtue.

I read that to mean that Horen was indeed a king.

 

Moreover, since they are not of the same family/race/clan, like Abraham and the Jews, how does that make non-Canonists gentiles? There is no bloodline involvement.

Humans are all from the same 'tribe' of Horen if you wish to call it that.

Just now, Bogrin said:

He was incorrect, I responded but all the OOC posts were deleted. As far as I know, the followers of the Church of the Canon are not the descendents of King Horen I, otherwise they would be royal

Horen wasn't a king. He was the leader of the humans, like Krug was to the Orcs, Uruguan to the Dwarfs and Malin to the elves. You might be confused with House Horen which, I believe, claims to be the direct male line of the prophet. By no means does that mean that every human is royalty.

Just look at Cracker's explanation for the usage of the word.
