The '''Almendra Monastery''' is a {{wp|monastery}} in the small village now called [[Figueira de Castelo Rodrigo]] (in older works ''San Rodrigo'' or ''San Castelo'') in the province of Lobos, [[Leciria]]. The monastery was founded by the {{wp|Hieronymites|Hieronymite}} Order of monks in 1432.It is most known as the monastery and palace house in which [[Afonso IV]] of king of the [[Lecirian Empire]] resided from after his abdication until his death. The monastery was first noted in the Hieronymite Census of 1456, in which it was labelled as a "Female community for cloistered nuns". In 1604 [[Afonso IV]], retired to the Almendra Monastery. His intention was to devote the rest of his life to prayer in this remote and obscure monastery, after ruling the Lecirian realm for most of his life. The monastery required no works as Afonso decided to live with a small group, including only personal and trusted guards. From time to time well-known figures would visit the retired Afonso in his isolation, including his daughter Madelyn of Leciria and her husband [[Arthur I|Arthur, King of the Anglis Empire]] as well as his successor [[John II]] of Leciria. When Afonso died on 13 February 1609 he was buried in the Monastery church and remains there until this day. ('''[[Almendra Monastery|See more...]]''')

Brayout (Zhoushi: Brajөꞇ, pronounced /braju͡oc/; historical Zhengian pronounciation: /ɓrajwəːɗ/) is a game that developed in Zhousheng and combines multiple aspects of Chess and Shogi. The game of Brayout developed in Zhengia during the so called "Zhengian Experiment", when the Bogmian settlers in Zhengia brought multiple Chess variants into the country which was predominantly playing multiple variations of Shogi, imported from Kasia. Pawns, to start the game faster, are allowed to move two spaces on their first move (as marked by the circle in their movement chart). Unlike in Chess, pawns in Brayout take the figures directly in front of them. This movement can not be used to skip a figure in front of the pawn or to take opponent's figure two spaces ahead of the pawn. Palaces are located in the squares E1, E2, F1, F2 (one palace) and E9, Eᚴ, F9, Fᚴ (the other palace). If the king is located in the palace they began in (not the opposing palace), they can do a move called "king's leap", which allows them to jump two spaces instead of one (as marked by the circle in their movement chart). That doesn't mean, that kings are not allowed to move in the palace normally, just that they can perform the jump. (See more...)
