Learned the Heimlich Maneuver today...

The Bloodsworn's fancy engineers has inspired the katipunan's engineers for years. As the Katipunan builds up its military and make money from Emilio's businesses and taxes, it will start working on more projects

The Israelic lands of the Himalayas begin construction of a secret project in Sinai

Confusions people have often about the Bible
The Bible does not contradict itself, contrary to most belief.
The bible is split into two parts, th Old Testament as te New Testament.
The Old Testament contains the Law of Moses, the writings of Job, David, and Solomon, and the prophets books. The entire Old Testament points toward 1 point, the Messiah returning. The Jews follow the Old Testament. Moses' law has the dietary laws, and all the other things, which were just temporary, until the Messiah came and made a new covenant.
So Jesus is believed by Christians to be the Messiah. Most Jews don't believe he was the real Messiah and are still waiting. Some Jews believe in the Messiah and still follow old Jewish Law (which the Messiah disrupted) this is ok, it is called Messianic Judiaism.
The New Testament is what the entire New Testament built to. The Messiahs life. Then, he ascended into heaven. Afterwards, in the rest of the New Testament, we see his disciples and apostles starting the church. Christians (followers of Christ) are not required to follow the Law of Moses, as the Messiah said we didn't need to anymore. So when people say "the bible contradicts itself look!" It isn't, it's actually fulfilling itself.

The Sultan sends messengers West into Africa. They deliver the following message to the leaders of each colony.

Greetings,
It has come to my attention that many of our allies in the Cult War have decided to join us as we assay to change the landscape of the great land in the West. I perceive this as good, as we are making ourselves all the wealthier and have also found new friends among the natives with whom we have shared much of our technology and are helping along as they join us in our wealth. However, it has also come to my attention that many of you have not taken my proclamation about colonizing south of the Congo seriously. As much as this conflicts me, I do find it necessary to take up my quill and ink and decree thus:
From this day forth, all foreign colonists found south of the Congo will be captured and sent to the nearest town of their home country. Foreign soldiers will be disarmed but otherwise treated the same as the colonists. Anyone who resists will be bound and carried. If any resistors inflict casualty, their life will be taken and their body left for the scavengers.
Note that this is a temporary decree. Once I am satisfied and take back this order, all foreign colonists who had once roamed the land will be able to return along with their government. However, that local government must in turn abide by Qariri law and answer to Qariri officials.
This is not an action of hostility, I assure you! This business of colonizing the Western lands has, in my eyes, become somewhat comparable to a pack of dogs fighting over a bone. What I am doing is I am divvying up the bone that is Africa and gifting pieces of it appropriately. We shall obtain the Eastern and Southern bit and our friends can work out their borders for the remainder of the land. If you think me greedy, then think again: Qarir is the closest nation to this new land. If anyone should be granted the larger part of it, should it not be us? To those who are reading this south of the Congo: you know who you are. If you leave now, you will be allowed all the liberties of a Qariri citizen and escorted to the borders peacefully with neither foul word nor action from those who will escort you. If you think this still unfair, then consider this: for each man, woman, and child who leaves willingly and peacefully without the involvement of the military, ten grams of gold will be gifted via caravan to that nation's capital.
Now, friends: choose, before we must choose for you.

Kindest regards, Sultan Amadi Karim

In secret, Emilio has ordered an extermination of all the Moro Kuges and generals for involving religion on the government and connecting ties with Moro pirates. They will be shot by the secret glider of the angelic air force or attacked by foot.

Pretty much like this below but to prevent a total takeover of the government instead.

Israel, with the support of Rhun, begins to construct a wall around the border. Beirut, Gaza, Joppa, Tyre, and Haifa are now focused on trade, becoming large ports

Relations begin to deteriorate with the Himalayas due to the embargo on the Bloodsworn and the "deportation" of the people in Israel back to Qarir.

Learned how to give CPR today...

Happy fake holiday #34!

Gotta love how we all our treating the natives as gods and we learned not to murder and fuck them up and shit. xD

Ologor commissions a group of the best engineers in the North to look into making a large city on the western shores of Lake Balial. It will prove to be very useful in defending the southern areas of Bloodsworn land and will act as a trade capital. It will be put under the command of Clan Gondolin.

Trade has reopened once more, with the Winter Guard being renamed the Frontier Watch, with the same purpose as before.

Adding on to what Szuc said about his project, the Katipunan has finished their secret project (no one knows this except Gamer).

Rebels fighting against the current Katipunan government are tracked down and interrogated. They ask to speak with the leader of the opposition for they wish to supply weapons and men to the rebels and Majapahit. They are to be trained and suited in iron weaponry and become Muscovite soldiers in every way.

The Duneshifters arrive in the lakeside town of N'Djamena. To any onlookers, they would appear as sand-clothed men with no outward signs of being armed. Their leader, a man whose only distinguishing feature is an orange shoulder-cape, is immediately escorted to the governor's house. He and the governor chat in low tones for about forty five minutes before the strange man emerges. He gives a few hand gestures to his men and the Duneshifters disperse, heading in all different directions before seeming to disappear altogether. Being masters of stealth and assassination, they would be next to impossible to follow, not that anyone in their right mind would ever want to follow a Duneshifter.

Hebrews of the Israelic Himalayan colony begin to prepare for war.
Major cities, such as Jerusalem, Capernaum, Tel Aviv, Jericho, Hebron, Joppa, Tyre, Beirut, and others, begin construction of walls and gates. Hezekiah's Tunnel is dug beneath Jerusalem. A fortress is built in the Valley of Jezreel. A mighty temple begins construction in Jerusalem, as well as synagogues across the land. The Sanhedrin Court is reestablished, and weapons and arms are beginning to be stockpiled. Religious Qarirites and others are sent back to their homelands, to avoid messing up the bloodlines. Himalayan soldiers and representatives are only allowed in certain areas, to preserve Jewish culture

The Himalayan colonies adjust to the natives, and form a culture which is half native and half Himalayan. We form peace treaties, and implement our weapons into enemy fighting styles. Seeing the colonists treating the natives as equals makes a strong bond, making the natives another strong link of the chain of Himalayan cututes

Rhun begins doing basically whatever it is Muscovy and the Bloodsworn are doing. kek.

Muscovy does basically the same native leaders as the Bloodsworn, but are given piles of wealth and new food in exchange for their allegiance (old British Empire trick). Native battle strategies are tweaked and incorporated into Muscovite militaries such as guerilla warfare.
