The 1763 Berbice Slave Revolt was a rebellion that took place in the Dutch colony of Berbice, which is now part of Guyana: 

Who led the revolt: The revolt was led by Cuffy, a Coromantin man who was enslaved and trafficked from West Africa, and his deputy Akra. 

When did it happen: The revolt began on February 27, 1763 and lasted until 1764. 

What happened: The rebels set fire to plantations, killed Europeans, and took over food stores and households. The rebels gained control of the colony until the Dutch army arrived. 

What was the outcome: The Dutch regained the colony and executed 125 men and 3 women. 

What caused the revolt: The revolt was caused by extreme labor conditions, tropical diseases, food shortages, and planter brutality. 

What was the impact: The revolt had a significant impact in the Dutch Republic, where it was widely reported in the press. It also foreshadowed later insurrections, such as the Haitian slave rebellion. 

What is the legacy: The anniversary of the revolt, February 23, is Republic Day in Guyana, and Cuffy is a national hero.

'Besides! Didn't you say you have the same problems?! Lightning being tied to emotion and all that?!'

Okay time to talk about Akra (Akravidae)

Akra was formally a member of the great khans supposedly lost during the taking of red rock. Once a proficient fighter using a spear/mantis claw combo however between radscorpions and cazadores many fell to the venom. Buried with honors, Akra laid in a coma like state. The pain wracking through her body as visions gripped her mind. Sights of a new order, a world in red. Pulling herself from the grave some weeks later, Akras eyes damaged by the posion leaving her near blind. Only being able to see shadows and bright lights. Taking the broke shaft of her once great spear Akra began moving into the wastes to find her new gods.

world record - the discovery of ixtas

AIE 290

About 10 years ago, Akras Summoning Hall (i will now be referring to it as ASH) detected the existance of a world named Ixtas that possessed a highly advanced civilization.

ASH had already been conducting research into other worlds besides Grand Gaia and Ishgria since the time of the Legendary Summoner, and after the collapse of the Abel Faction of the Elgaia Federation, the rate of knowledge increased by absorbing some of its information and technology that it had possessed. They then succeeded in developing a system to detect the existence of other worlds.

Suddenly, a large otherworldly presence signal appeared in the system in an area that had previously been deemed empty. The reason its existence suddenly came to light was because a local scientist, Gustav Fabraska, had shut down their shield system (which hid Ixtas' existence from other worlds) in order to defect.

Having learned of Ixtus' reaction from Ana, Noel, Lugina, and Roy went to the location using the interdimensional travel system.

Coincidentially, high-ranking officials of the Ixtas government were shaken by the brutal murder of the guards who had been sent to capture Gustav, and Akras succeeded in establishing relations through an exchange of technological and military power.

Afterwards, Gustav Fabraska remained missing, and the identity of the murderer of Ixtas' guards remained a mystery. However, around this time, ASH became aware of the existence of an organization operating secretly in several other worlds, and continued to investigate under the leadership of Lugina, who also serves as the head of the Otherworldly Investigation Department.

Through the interactions with Ixtas, the technology of ASH improved dramatically. Until then, the positional relationships between different worlds had only been roughly understood. The dimensional location information of each world is called the Boundary Coordinate. By synchronizing the Boundary Frequencies, two worlds are able to connect and people are able to travel between dimensions to a precise location.

Joint research and development has progressed in recent years, with one result of this being the invention of a portable gate generator. There are still many issues with this technology, such as its limited energy capacity, time constraints, and the limited number of times it can be generated, making it unable to transport large amounts of people or goods. The accuracy of targeted locations is also low, so it only can be used for rough inter-dimensional travel.

The devices themselves are still very expensive and rare, so only a very small number of people (such as Elder Summoners) possess them.

On the other hand, large fixed devices have been able to keep gates of a stable size open for some time now, allowing for the movement of people and goods. Operating facilities and generating energy at this level is still extremely difficult, so it's not something that ordinary private organizations can own.

For this reason, the cooperation of ASH is essential for the people of Elgaia to travel to Grand Gaia, in terms of interdimensional travel, safety, and crisis management, and the Hall provides services in cooperation with private companies, such as Elgaia Travel.

I heroforged the entire Blackscale clan (sans the kids, including Lambda and Reownha) as royal guardsmen, for my Princess Lambda roleswap AU. I think they turned out great. Notable changes include swapping weapons– mostly dexterity-based weapons for strength-based weapons, and I added a shield to Quespa's kit. Sekkala and Nethox keep daggers in their off-hands for the main gauche effect with their sword in the main hand.

Please do notice that Madre is in this overconfident 'come at me bro' pose with her huge chest and hips. Listen. She is still the group thot, and regrets nothing.

An 'Akra Devi', a standing female figurine, adorned with bangles and a heavy beaded necklace, in coarse pottery with a dark red slip, standing without feet in an oval frame, hands raised in Añjali Mudrā. This last characteristic is very common in the Akra Devi range, but some of these devis have their arms by their sides. The back is flat and plain and the base is always concave and exhibiting broken edges as here. It is likely that this figure was arranged standing, in a row of others, on the shoulder of a large pottery vessel (see Khan, Knox and Thomas, 2000). These items are known only from Akra and adjacent sites in the Bannu area, and have never been discovered in a strictly dateable archaeological context. The piece is marked on the back with 'Akra', a great ancient city site in Bannu district of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan, about 110 miles south of Peshawar. The origins of Akra are iron age, through the Achaemenids, and all that follow, to its demise in the 10th century under Mahmud of Ghazni. Archaeological context: presumably unstratified and from a surface collection. These pieces are difficult to date and may be as late as the 3rd to 5th centuries, though it is argued that there is a sequence detectable in the corpus ranging from the early more sophisticated types to the later less well made.
