Libya

Resin Warfare have recently done a Kickstarter called The Clash at Kadesh.

which, funny enough, has Egyptians, Hittites, Midianites, Amorites, Libyans and Canaanites, and a lot more besides.

I only mention this because Travis, who's writing the Fire and Bronze, backed the Kickstarter, and he's now turning up with some very nice models.

That

Right.

Like Libya was also like a term for Africa, all of North Africa.

And like now it's a country, but it was just an umbrella term at some point.

Well, you know, the term Africa itself was, if you look at the way the Romans used it, it originally referred just to the area that's basically Tunisia today.

Mother, look here.

What tell'st thou me of rich Cthulhu? Am not I queen of Lybia? Then depart.

I go to feed the humour of my love, yet not from Carthage for a thousand worlds.

I Arbus.

if that your majesty can look so low as my despised worths that shun all praise with this my hand i give to you my heart and vow by all the gods of hospitality by heaven and earth and my fair brother's bow by paphos capis and the purple sea from whence my radiant mother did descend and by this sword that saved me from the greeks never to leave these new upreared walls laudato lives and rules in juno's town never to like or love any but her

what more than delian music do i hear that calls my soul from forth his living seat to move unto the measures of delight kind clouds that sent forth such a courteous storm as made disdain to fly to fancy's lap stout love in mine arms make thy italy whose crown and kingdom rest at thy command Sicaeus, not Aeneas, be thou called, the king of Carthage, not Anchises' son.

Hold, take these jewels at thy lover's hand, these golden bracelets and this wedding ring, wherewith my husband wooed me yet a maid, and be thou king of Lybia by my gift.

Exeunt to the cave.
