"You have been seen not complying with the rules of the Republic... but there are proper punishments for such misbehavior..."

***

Officially known as the Ministry of Internal Order and Cleanliness, the Millisahriya is a national organization of the Feet Republic compiled of multiple police agencies and, like many other current Ministries, was reorganized following the decree of Chancellor Vulga Sugrifa. The primary function of the Millisahriya include guarding duties of factories, enterprises and transportation lines from illegal or harmful activities; maintaining order during mass events; prevention of civil offenses; protection of the Grazhdanin Rights; maintaining traffic in densely populated cities where private transport is available; punishing littering; and reporting suspicious activity to higher authorities. Any violators should be apprehended and walked on all fours on a leash to the nearest station – such public humiliation are one of the key instruments in preventing people from wrongdoing and hooliganism; individuals of aggressive tribes will find themselves ashamed of being seen by others in such a submissive position, and in the Matriarchal society of Feetland females would be disgraced to be on a leash held by a futale.

Besides that, the Millisahriya serves as an auxiliary organization to the Dommysahrs and agents of the Herqisitorial Police in the course of their activities, assisting both with the allocation of additional personal from own local ranks. And in times of mass unrest (which has never happened under Chancellor Vulga Sugrifa), the National Guard will be deployed.

However, the primary functions of the Millisahriya include not only the supervision of order, but it is also one of the four ways to become a true Grazhdanin of the Republic: almost all lower-ranking Millisahrs are young citizens who serve their eight years for the betterment of the nation, proving their morals and loyalty to the country, after which they officially receive the status of Grazhdanin. These young Millisahrs are assigned to duties in or near their place of residence, which gives them the motivation to maintain order, reinforced by the fear of shaming and humiliation from their community in instance of failure. After eight years of impeccable service, they may receive a promotion to a higher position and continue their honorable service in Millisahriya.

A New Year Celebration; An annual festival commemorating birth of Eight Aspects, Exaltation of Eight Sacred tribes, the end of Grievous Strife, global peace among all sistren, and the beginning of Anno Aspecti – the Age of Aspects. Celebrated through the Last Day of the Old Year and the First Day of the New Year by millions of Meora’s children around the world.

The People of Meorenell had celebrated New Year Holidays before Zhermerro, but at different dates in different region, with varying traditions and reasoning, such as Feets, who begun the new years on the first days of sowing, associating it with a cycle of reincarnation and birth of new generations, or Bosomian Fortress Cities, where celebrations are extended for two whole weeks after the First Day and The Realms are never stinted in rewarding their citizens for yet another year of selfless service and perseverance – throwing the biggest feasts for them with no delay.

In this age, the beginning of New Years falls on last cold days of winter season in the southern hemisphere, on days which are believed to be when the First Angels were begotten. It is accustomed to celebrate with all neighbors, family and friends all night long – a meaningful symbol of our united persistence to live and joy even when surrounded by cold darkness, to show the dominance of Her Light withing us.

Some parents desire for the life of their children to be spiritually supported by the festivity spirit – a new life in the new year, thus many births or conceptions fall on around the Zhermerro holidays.

Most  Zhermerro traditions have long been universal among all nations, such as wishing each other the virtues of Aspects, or decorating houses with eight-pointed stars made of the Aspect runes to celebrate the birth of each one, and adding more stars with the runes of those Aspects whose blessing you wish to receive in the new year. Speaking of other common decorations: traditional colors are white, gold, red and green, where white is for the glory of Her Light and holy Aspects, gold – for our flaming spirit and valiant hearts, red – for the beauty and health of bodies we have been endowed with, and finally green represents the surrounding goodness of nature and the existence itself; such decorations may include lanterns, either hanging alone or in group of four – one for each color; light-colored tinsel, to visualize serenity of Her Light surrounding us; large decorative ribbon bows, as they resembles Her holy symbol in a festive way; small round golden bells, to guide the souls of our ancestors towards the feast and to intimidate the Evil.

Hallow Trees became inseparable part of the celebration, as they are health and safety of Her body. Thus, resembling smaller trees with white bark, their branches, or branches painted white, become part of the decorations, in the form of baskets or wreaths. Depending on a region and the nearby Hallow Trees, these are either Birch, Aspen, Alders, Sycamore, Gum, and some others. Although in most of Southern Continent, where only two Hallow Trees blossomed, Zemerza is more popular – visually similar to Sycamore, but with a dark red bark and much more tolerant to cold climate than its relatives, it keeps light-green leaves throughout the winter and sheds them right before spouting new ones.

Celebratory outfits are usually comprise of red and green colors, with golden or white woolen rims. A common combination is red bottom and green top, with Green Capelets being popular (of course – never red).

With this, we are half way done with Sacred Tribes.

For Yamervas there will be 11 SFW Variants, 30 NSFW variants and 8 Reference sheets.

You should know my tendency to tweak previously released Artworks, and my OC stuff is even greater target for that. Especially Lore. With more new Lore being written - more old lore requires updates in facts or wording of these fact. Thus I will be writing here, in Summaries, any changes I did to previous Artworks and Lore. Four-month period is enough to make serious tweaks and present them. I already wrote few new sentences to Yamerva Lore, but whenever more is added or not - you will see in November.

This months was light on updates: I made some minor touches to Scribe And Narrator Artworks and updated background details on their reference sheets for the current standard; I changed only two non-important words in Genesis (because after writing it for a year+ it received enough re-writes for them to be happy); I updated the Map, specifically northern continent to better represent plaguelands of the Crus region, and a reason why they are plaguelands.

Major Lore post will be next months... but only part 2, which I wrote after saying that part 1 is not good to be posted this month... because It is still don't...

Sneaking-peeking at August:
