The Elephant KingFor as long as anyone can remember, the Elephant Lords have squabbled amongst themselves. Now, however, our leader, the Elephant King, reigns undisputed, as the great unifier of Dhugajir. Still, the Elephant Lords squabble, but at least now, they pay the one leader at least begrudging respect.
+1 Yearly Prestige

Perfect TechniqueAs the various Elephant Lords competed amongst themselves, they each developed their own specialised techniques for raising, training, riding, and strategically using war elephants. Being fierce rivals, however, these techniques were often closely guarded secrets, in many cases not even written down, and instead passed on by word of mouth.\n\nNow that we have unified the region, however, we can compile millennia worth of techniques for the usage of war elephants, and thus ascend to the peak of pachyderm-based warfare.

Festival of ColoursThe Festival of Colours celebrates the fertility and prosperity of our lands. It's a feast that arouses great joy in our people and leaves them satisfied and calm in its wake. Normally it is a yearly event, but rulers have proclaimed such feasts in the past when they wished to show off or to calm the rabble.

Establish Foreign RelationsForeigners in Dhugajir had always been one of two things; conquerors, subjugating our people, or the conquered. Once a proper state was established though, it became necessary for slightly more formal diplomacy to be established. Foreign diplomats who angered the court, however, did still have a tendency to be returned home slightly more flat than before.
+1 Diplomatic Reputation

Caravansary ProfiteeringAlthough not controlling the beating heart of Raheni trade that was the Kharunyana itself, many caravans would detour through the lands of Dhugajir in their journeys southward in order to obtain slightly more safe passage, due to the relative frequency of river piracy, as well as various tolls.\n\nAs various caravansaries were established throughout Dhugajir, although never eclipsing the mighty river itself, a sizeable number of merchants would end up passing through what came to be known as the Little Kharunyana.

Gun TurretsIn ancient times elephants were used, alongside their intimidation factor and devastating charges, as platforms for archers. These days archers have been replaced with gunmen and muskets. However, recently these platforms have also been supplied with small cannons, turning our cavalry into mobile light artillery.
+0.5 Cavalry Fire

Elephant CannonsAs cannons would become further established within the Dhugajiri arsenal as elephant-based weaponry, they would also begin to be used in larger and larger quantities as their own units. However, the unique warfare presented by the widespread use of pachyderms would require new innovations. Thus, the Elephant Cannon was born, a massive cannon of Dhugajiri design, for the specific purpose of taking down enemy war-elephants.
