Throwing axemen

(Image)

Axemen make up a significant portion of Tusajleir's army. They are especially deadly when lined up in formation. They, like their name implies, throw their axes. They have one battle axe, which they weild with two hands, and they have a couple of smaller axes, in which they throw.

As a staple of any nomadic nation, these horse archers are the embodiment of Tusajlei. They are the most respected in the tribe, and most feared in central asia. Coupled with The Lehta, they have be most troublesome for the unprepared tribes of the steppes. They typically circle around the enemy and fire from all sides.

They are bred specifically for traveling vast distances and raiding the many villages of the Asian steppes. They were light armour as there was no need when fighting the small tribes of the steppes. They wield a scimitar-type sword, showing this tribe has been in contact, or rather conflict, with Arabic tribes.

NS Nation Name: Ceannairceach
RP Nation: The Holy Principality of Outremer
Leader: Joyce d'Outremer, Prince in Outremer and Defender of the Faithful
Religion: Predominantly Roman Catholic, with many Orthodox and Eastern Rite Christians, Muslims and some Pagans filling the gap.
Government Type: Theocratic monarchy
Number from of provinces from 1-20 and location: 20, in pink.
Population: 575,000
Army size: 35,400
Military Specialty: Great access to funding, skilled heavy infantry, highly professional army
Military Weakness: Very few horses, army is smaller due to its professional nature, inability to replace troops at a very quick level and must rely on traditional recruitment or on donated forces.
Unique Units: -Turkopoles and Turkomans; Mounted and dismounted archers, the Turkopoles and Turkomans make up much of the ranged portion of Outremer's military. They more or less control all the horses in the nation, using them to either ride into battle or to ride them through cities to get to the walls. Armed with a longbow and a short recursive bow, they are some of the finest horse archers in the region, and though not amazingly skilled on foot, make fine regular archers if prompted. The former are Christians Arabs, and the latter are Muslims.
-The Soldiers of Christ Almighty; These men, and a few women, are pilgrims who, either on their way back from or on their way to the Holy Land, stopped and settled in Outremer to ensure that their faith is preserved and to redeem themselves totally in the eyes of Christ. They are very versatile, arming themselves with a short bow, a shortsword, a buckler and a javelin. They wear light armor, and are quick to move, acting as light infantry. Well trained, they're main downside is the fact that they have no great specialization and rather choose to know a good bit about all things rather than a lot about a few things.
-The Bleeding Hearts, Knights and Squires of the Holy Militant Order of St. Jude, Brother of Christ; These knights, member of the Christian military order of St. Jude the Apostle, fight on foot, most using large, two-handed axes or claymores. Though not officially bound to the throne of Outremer, they are housed and supported by the Principality, the Prince's own son being a member, making them an unofficial wing of the Principality's army. Squires are those who, though not of noble birth, are trained to fight alongside the knights in equal skill and ability.
Brief History since 298 BC: Its not required, but in a nutshell, a Crusader kingdom without the Crusade part, merely having established itself in the Holy Land during a time of turmoil that allowed it to seize power, the Prince being crowned by the Pope himself. The Principality is very tolerant of foreign beliefs, necessitated by its proximity to Muslim states and its existence as foreigners ruling in a foreign land.

New application.

I do suggest you take Sicily, we have someone who has their eyes on it so plenty of action and glory for you as a Muslim kingdom there, and we need more powers in the Mediterranean.

All of France couldn't be done in 20 provinces, but I could give you, say, a good chunk from Labourd to Languedoc.
