A younger Nur, back when he had not suffered his injury yet, training with his dad and twin brother. Unfortunately Nur is pretty terrible at melee fighting, which is why he ended up being a rifleman. XD
In Nur's society, each male has to serve in the army for 5 years (or more in case of dire need), and even once their time ends, they still have to train at the barracks once every five days in order not to get too rusty and still be able to pick up arms in case of conflict. After the 5 years of draft, a soldier can choose to keep serving in the army full-time, and in general these are the ones who rise in the ranks and become among the most respected members of society. Nur's father is one of such highly regarded warriors, so he is trusted to teach his sons even without supervision.
Also, for those wondering why Nur's brother is saying "moms", the Ajshar are often polygamous, with a "dominant" male as the head of the household and one or more "wives". The "wives" in question are generally female, but can me males as well, though in a more subservient position. So, to make it short, from a human perspective Ajshari families are weird as hell and Nur has two mothers.
Sorry for the lore dump, I'll eventually go more into detail in a more suitable piece. Hope you like it. :P

Hm I wonder how many fans auto-faved because of Nur. I mean I didn't do that. Nope, never happening.
Seriously though, please share more lore, and oh my gosh Nur has a family! And his family is poly! At least he'll have more than one mom tending to that busted nose x3

Oh!! I love the background here and the cats are always amazing! Also thanks for the lore! It’s always fun to delve more and more into your worlds. Also a word from mama Yuri.. “today you learned an important lesson… next time.. duck..” (she’s pretty hard in her own cubs too)
Read again:
> train at the barracks once every five days
To put it in perspective, this is a risk of major injury every five days, and pulls workers out of circulation every five days, which necessitates constant transfer of duties and cycling. Every five weeks would be more sensible, if it's a mass levy - alternately, with the caveat that richer citizens may instead contribute financially to fund arms and provisions for the militia, while poorer citizens would be obligated to train (so that everyone contributes in a way, but making the system imperfect enough to drive social conflicts inspired by historic plebeian/patrician strife in early Republican Rome).

Nur city (more of a village, really) is a bit of an exception in this case, since it's in an area of constant high tension. The way this part of the setting works is that there are main city states built around the larger oasis that control several smaller settlements around them. In the main cities, which are generally peaceful, this 5 day rule is not implemented, but Nur's village is pretty far away and it's right next to the territories of other occasionally-hostile city states, newly arrived humans, nomadic tribes and probably more. So it's an extremely militarized area, and they get supplies from the main city.
Though 5 days may indeed be too much, I may change that later on, at least 10 days

Lovable windows to world building and culture.
Oh Nuuur! XD
Poor of him.
Im guessing, that much like some Arabic cultures (from what I understand) the number of wives a male can have is directly determined and propositional to his capabilities to sustain them in terms of wealth.
The other thing is that, much like those family structures ...is often the case that there are favorites among the wives, as well as the offspring having more attachment their biological mother incited of the rest.

Excuse me but this sounds adorable as hell! I love it when you share your lore.
Lovely stuff! I adore the way you do their bodily traits and clothing designs!

Not really, as the society is patriarchal, so a man is the one in charge of the household. However this applies specifically for Nur's society (and he lives in a pretty backwards heavily militarized village). Just like with humans, the Ajshar have extremely diverse cultures, some more gender-equal than others, or even more matriarchal.
