==Pharisedoms and the Burgoignesc Colonial Empire==

The traumatic experiences of the expelled Protestants during the [[Great Confessional ~~Wars~~]] and the subsequent atrocities of the [[Dragonnades]] left an indelible mark on their collective consciousness, shaping a resilient and unyielding mentality that was defined by a profound sense of perseverance, devotion to their faith, and an unwavering commitment to the Protestant Work Ethic. Fueled by a persistent belief in their own righteousness and a profound sense of collective identity, the exiled Protestants channeled their deep-seated trauma and determination into the formation of a massive colonial empire that would come to span vast swathes of the earth.

The enduring memory of their near extermination and the constant sense of siege instilled in them a pervasive mindset of perpetual vigilance and the necessity for expansion to ensure their survival and prosperity. Driven by a potent combination of resourcefulness, resilience, and an acute awareness of their vulnerability, the expelled Protestants harnessed their collective willpower and determination to carve out new territories and establish formidable colonies across distant lands. Bolstered by their unwavering devotion to their faith and a resolute adherence to the principles of the Protestant Work Ethic, the exiled Protestants infused their colonial endeavors with an unparalleled sense of purpose and discipline. This steadfast commitment to hard work, diligence, and self-reliance laid the groundwork for the rapid growth and expansion of their colonial empire, enabling them to establish thriving settlements and robust economic networks that would ultimately form the backbone of their burgeoning dominion.

Despite their history of persecution and displacement, the exiled Protestants displayed remarkable adeptness in forging strong alliances with individuals and communities that welcomed them with open arms. Leveraging their shrewd diplomacy, strategic foresight, and a keen understanding of geopolitical dynamics, they forged enduring partnerships and alliances that served to bolster their influence and extend their reach across various regions of the world. Combining their diplomatic finesse with a pragmatic and unrelenting militaristic approach, the expelled Protestants demonstrated a remarkable capacity for expansionism and territorial acquisition. Their resolute determination to secure their foothold in new lands, coupled with their formidable military prowess and tactical acumen, enabled them to overcome formidable challenges and establish a sprawling colonial empire that spanned continents and left an indelible imprint on the global geopolitical landscape.

The experience gained from their participation in the [[Great Confessional War]] served as a crucible that forged the expelled Protestants into a formidable band of disciplined and battle-hardened soldiers. The harrowing realities of warfare had instilled in them a strict code of discipline, resilience, and strategic acumen, honing their combat skills and fostering a deep-seated sense of camaraderie and unity among their ranks. Drawing upon the lessons learned from their tumultuous history, they embraced a culture of military excellence and steadfast determination, laying the foundation for their future conquests and endeavors in the lands they colonized. While their defeat in the [[Great Confessional War]] was a bitter pill to swallow, it also served as a catalyst for a profound transformation in their approach to warfare. The resounding loss compelled them to reevaluate their military strategies and tactics, fostering a newfound openness to learning from the indigenous peoples in the lands they sought to colonize. Recognizing the need to adapt and assimilate local knowledge and fighting techniques, the expelled Protestants displayed a remarkable capacity for cultural exchange and assimilation, blending their own expertise with the wisdom gleaned from the native populations. This process of mutual learning and adaptation culminated in the development of a unique and formidable way of war that was characterized by its adaptability and versatility. Drawing upon a diverse array of tactics, ranging from traditional [[Levantia|Levantine]] warfare techniques to the specialized knowledge acquired from the indigenous inhabitants, the expelled Protestants forged a distinct military approach that deftly navigated the complexities of various terrains, climates, and adversaries. This adaptive and resourceful approach to warfare endowed them with a significant strategic advantage, enabling them to overcome formidable challenges and emerge victorious in a wide range of military endeavors.

Their ruthless pursuit of military dominance was underscored by a relentless commitment to achieving their objectives at any cost. Unencumbered by traditional constraints or conventional norms, the expelled Protestants displayed a willingness to employ ruthless and unorthodox methods in their military endeavors, effectively leveraging their combined military expertise, adaptability, and unyielding determination to secure their dominance in the lands they sought to conquer.

In the early days of the [[Burgoignesc Colonial Empire]] the Protestant men were few in number and their military hardware was left over from the [[Great Confessional War]]. It wasn't long before their incursions in [[Audonia]] were met with stiffening resistance from established power players with the military vestiges of the late [[Oduniyyad Caliphate]]. Warlords, local strong men, and regional lords who could afford larger armies and fortified defenses were the scourge of the efforts at expansionism under the trappings of set piece [[Occidental]] battles. Soon the [[Bergendii]] shifted tactics, out of necessity, to make the most of their smaller numbers and increasingly archaic weaponry.

====TerreRaubeuers====

Creating numerous small units of men were specially selected and trained (often by local natives) to participate in [[Wp:sorties|sorties]] and [[Wp:razzia|razzia]] against much more numerous and fortified enemies became a fairly standard practice by [[Audonia|Audonian]] based [[Bergendii]] colonial governors. These were contemporaneously called the governor's land rovers ([[Burgoignesc language|Burg]]: TerreRaubeuers),and were a purely offensive force. These units were never standardized but often shared common themes, they were meritocratic, not restricted by class, race, or creed. These units adopted the weapons of the area in which they operated so that resupply through raiding allowed for long-range raids deep into the enemies interior. Uniforms were eschewed in favor of traditional dress of the area of operations. Due to limitations of communications in the 17th-19th century, governors would give these units general objectives and targets and most importantly a timeframe, but leave it up to the leaders of the units to adjust to the realities on the ground. The timeframe became increasingly important as negotiations would be planned around these timeframes. Treaties or agreements would be stalled until the TerreRaubeuers would return and damage to a new alliance or arrangement after the fact wouldn't occur.
