	Memories of the Past
		Jezail rarely ever said “I love you” to her husband, she’d been brought up to believe that love should be subjugated to the warrior ideal and her dominant mistress-slave relationship with her mate.

		Jezail Truestrike had two lives, one of the warrioress who was a tower of strength and devoid of weakness, and one of the vixen, a simple creature like any other, who needed the love and compassion of her mate to survive.

		Also, I googled "jezail" and there are some similarities, especially with regard to the brass band wraps around the wood and the barrel.

		Jezail's coming along nicely, I've added a only a small number of buildings since last update.
		First, Jezail is a type of old Afghan musket and just plain old sounds cool.
		Second, the old name (originally chosen because it reminds people of dust and organics, maybe...) was overall undescriptive, somewhat boring, and would probably remind people of the upcoming Need For Speed Carbon.

	THOUGHTS OF XANADU: The Case Of the Jezail Bullet
		In the study in scarlet, Dr Watson informs us that it was during the Afghan campaign, when he was posted with the Northumberland Fusiliers, that his shoulder, the left one, was hit by a jezail bullet in the Battle Of Maiwand.
		We got lucky that he was, otherwise he might not have been discharged and become late of the Army Medical Department, thus allowing him to return to London and then meet the great detective afterwards.
		Watson quite often moans about the weather and we are made aware that he likes heat better than the wind and cold.

		A good wake is always about two things: remembrance of times past and a renewal for times to come.
		In this respect I think both The Jezail and Squib are as good a wake as you can get.

		Unless it was a magic bullet (or two separate Jezail Bullets) and his statement that it was in only "one" of his limbs, this is a debate that is unlikely to ever be solved.
		A Jezail bullet, FYI, is not a specific type of bullet but rather any bullet fired by a Jezail rifle, the local Afghan name for a light, accurate, long barreled, slender-stocked rifle in and around the mountains of Afghanistan.
		Information on the Jezail rifle and bullet comes from the Kentucky Rifle.

	Plastic Soldier Review - RedBox Afghan Warriors (Site not responding. Last check: )
		An assessment made at the time estimated that perhaps a little over half the warriors bore a firearm, with the rest having edged weapons, and this split is properly reflected in this set.
		Basically the wealthier tribes had the more modern weapons, so in places the jezail was rarely seen by the 1890s.
		The edged weapons are again difficult to make out, but should be from a variety of swords and a much-feared weapon called a chora (the third figure in row three may be holding this long-bladed knife).

		Where we stood we were a bit far away from the top of the wooded hill for a jezail shot to carry and once we began to climb the slope we found ourselves in dead ground.
		Not more than twenty paces down the slope an old, white-bearded, wicked-looking Enemy was aiming at me with his long jezail from behind a fallen log.
		Luck was with me. At that very moment bang went the jezail and when we dug out the bullet next morning and marked the line of fire, it became evident that had I not so turned I would never have sat spinning this yarn.
