Description
The Empire of Azhurya, from whence this soldier hails, is another nation in the same world that my original character, Queen Rashekhu of Djakhem, inhabits. Azhurya is located in a desert continent to the distant north of Djakem's jungles, and its culture and look (as you might guess from the name) are based mainly on ancient Assyria, with a few touches of the later Ottoman Empire here and there. The Azhuryans are among the most technologically advanced civilizations of the known world, especially thanks to the gunpowder technology they acquired from the (Chinese-based) Shangzhou Empire to their east. The musket the soldier here carries (modeled on our world's jezail) is a common example of the firearms used by the Azhuryan military.
