300 awesomness ..
looking forward to see the final result

I have a great game storyline lying around featuring teutonic and templar knight orders that you might find interesting.

You've just found the right person.

I don't think they had the strength to hold the entire region of France, so it would have just ended in turmoil, but as you can see in the southern part of Spain, it might've affected Mediterranean culture a lot.

they'd be able to go further than where they were at if they axed the gaiety sense and were more careless about sumptuous stuff, tempting .The part of spain you're talking about (when was included to Arabia) was called Andalusia.

to be honest, i actually was not going to give a big attention and be strict to make this games' objects basing on historical facts,
but now i'll be punctual to keep it stand the right way.

As for the art, would you like a palette edit? I can try to pull the colors together a bit more...

that'd be great

Heh, I got shut down!  Right down to a picture of 5 men and no horses and a big sign above their head saying (فريس) yell  That's a really great lesson though.  I've actually saved all this for the examples.

it's not فريس fiyrs.. it's قريش - Quraish ..

How does the knight become definite without al- or written diacritics like you have in the last few examples?  Is it purely by it's relationship to assahra'?

we call it (Edhafa - additament) which is a grammatical rule.Faris As-sahraa' it's an additament ,Faris is the additive word ,As-sahra' is additive to word. means "yea, that guy is the desert's knight ;the knight of the desert." we don't add (Al) to the first word because we know him/it, we add (AL) to the second word.
another example : The Pixelation's prince --> Ameer Al-Pixelation أمير البكسليشن

I always wondered how to continue out of a word ending with a hamza as in Assahrawi.  I know you aren't using it, but could you write it out? (i'm not sure exactly what letter combos a-w-i means).  Is it generally "w" or is it like those other hamzas, which can change sound with the letters around them?  What I wouldn't give to go somewhere where these things were just lived and spoken naturally rather than studied as rules and systems...

oh, i thought you meant assahrawi صحراوي ,which is an adjective, but it seems like you meant ( الصحرا(ء with the hamza which is a noun. there are more than one hamza, but the one in assahraa' is the singled one, which is put at the end of the word.
you can't say (assahra(a'o)) or (assahra(a'i)) when they're placed at the end of a sentence or a title.
Assahraa'a <<-- Fat-ha
Assahraa'o <<-- Dhama
Assahraa'i <<-- Kasra

It's great that you have a relationship to Arabia far beyond what my university has been able to offer.  I'm envious.  And I'll stop reading to you out of books what you can look around to see

xD

Good to see you've got a northern (syrian? perhaps even persian?) reference to balance out my berbers.

berbers (persian people)'s clothes' style was actually similar to the arabian, being persian traders selling goods and slaves at arabian bazaars   usually caused them to be getting some epithets and clothes style from eachother .

If you're looking to round out the references, i suggesting looking for the elite guard as well, which were called (unfortunately, because it makes them impossible to find) "غلام" warriors.  Maybe they were sons of noblemen?  Or perhaps there is another meaning aside from "boy" that I don't know.  I don't know how late you want, but janissaries will come to prominence in turkish lands about the 1430's.

غلام means (a boy),غلمان (boys) were known as servants. according to the scans you posted i see you're talking about the 15th century,Andalusia <3 i like it.
yet i am not going for it, i'm going back to the 7th century.
and i don't see any arabian sword.they all don't have the originality of the arabian swords.
i think they're mongrel ones.

here are some scans (of series of books of an encyclopedia . the book i took the scans from talks about the world's civilisations ) showing the arabian clothes during the 5th century.
portraits :-

An arabian manager reading a massage loudly to a group of people .

an arabian travler .

An arabian leader/ prince. /faris ,taken as a rank as well as an adjective here.

scenes :

an arabian camel rider.

An arabian horseman/knight/rider

A battle's scene shot, called poitiers .

anyway,i'm supposed to be studying now.
I have exams to study for, lots of studies !!! omg. so i'll be gone for a while ,i might not be able to post anything during these three weeks.

awesome, i see you know how to speak arabic and how its words are pronunced, really interesting. 
but in case you don't know,I'm an arabian muslim guy, and the arabic is my native language. so don't worry about the translation's part.
Faris Assahraa' ,means (the desert's knight) as (The desert's rider) .which the knight is definite

I suggest something simpler like the desert rider (al faris sahra'i), the rider in the desert (al faris fissahra') or the rider from the desert (al faris manissahra').

*The desert rider : Faris assahra' فارس الصحراء
*The rider in the desert : Al-Faris fe assahra' ,which could be (Faris(ُ ) fessahraa') فارسٌ في الصحراء
*The rider from the desert : Alfaris min assahra', <-- it's not suitable.( Fairs(ٌ ) min assahraa' ) is more suitable فارسُ من الصحراء
it can't be Al-Faris Assahrawi because assahrawi leads us that he completely lives in a desert,or like a desert race car.
and if i'd go with (Al)-Faris, it'd be written alone ( Al-Faris - The Knight) which ease the desert idea.




here you can see how the arabian soldiers functionally look. but mine isn't a soldier, he's doing the play and everything hiddenly in order to get to the responsible man for all what's happening.


i might take a bit of this one, you see how sharp it is ?

Arabian Nights puns, also known as one thousand and one nights, it's inspiring .
