'''''Ligmaceratops''''' is a genus of herbivorous ceratopsian dinosaur that lived 145 to 135 million years ago during the Late Jurassic and Early Cretaceous epoch in modern day [[Levantia]] and [[Sarpedon]] on what was then the supercontinent [[Sarpolevantia]]. It had four to six long parietal spikes extending from its neck frill, a smaller jugal horn on each of its cheeks, and a single horn protruding from its nose, which may have been up to 60 centimeters (2 feet) long and 15 centimeters (6 inches) wide. The function or functions of the horns and frills have been debated for many years, thought to have been used for self defence and possibly to settle questions of leadership in packs.
Shazitnâmeh has a unique genealogy of Imams originating from the prophethood of Muhammad and tracing through the marriage of his daughter Fatimah to his cousin Ali and their son Hussein. However, the line of succession deviated in 633 when the Muslim apostate Musaylimah established a caliphate in Zaclaria and the lineage continued through him to other male Imams. The lineage became ambilineal with the rise of prophetess [[Soraya Al-Fassara ibn Hedayati]] during the [[Battle of Apostate Zaclaria]]. This deviation was an early step in the formation of Shazitnâmeh, making it different from other branches of Nizari Isma'ili.


''Ligmaceratops'' was a relatively large dinosaur, reaching lengths of 5.5 meters (18 feet) and weighing nearly 3 tonnes. It stood about 1.8 meters (5.9 feet) tall. ''Ligmaceratops'' possessed four short legs and a bulky body. Its tail was rather short. The skull had a beak and shearing cheek teeth arranged in continuous dental batteries, suggesting that the animal sliced up plants. Like other ceratopsians, this dinosaur was likely a herd animal travelling in large groups, as suggested by bone beds discovered in the [[Greater Levantine Formation]]. Although ''Ligmaceratops'' remains come chiefly from central [[Levantia]], they have also been discovered in [[Caphiria]] and even as far away as the [[Loa Republic]] and [[Faneria]], suggesting the animal had considerable spread over [[Sarpolevantia]].
One of the most notable aspects of Shazitnâmeh is its approach to gender equality. The doctrine views men and women as equals in the eyes of God and this is reflected in its religious laws and practices. Unlike in some other branches of Islam, women are allowed to lead prayers and hold positions of spiritual and religious authority in the community. This also extends to the role of the Sultana of Zaclaria, who, as both head of state and the "Commander of the Faithful", presides over the Council of Ministers and serves as the leader of Islam in Zaclaria. To further its emphasis on gender equality, Shazitnâmeh has made specific changes to traditional Islamic laws that promote equal treatment and opportunities for both men and women. For example, women have the right to initiate divorce in Shazitnâmeh and there is equal inheritance for both male and female descendants. Additionally, the education of both girls and boys is highly valued and considered a religious duty.


==Name==
Another unique aspect of Shazitnâmeh is its focus on community service. The Imam, whether male or female, is charged with serving the community of their era and striving for their physical well-being to the best of their ability. The community pays the zakat (tithe) dues to the Imam, who in return imparts them with religious and spiritual guidance.
''Ligmaceratops'' takes its genus name from the proto-Gothic  ''*līmaz'' meaning "lime" as the holotype was discovered in [[Great Lime Quarry]], [[Anglei]]. The name thus translates as "lime horn face" or "horned face from lime". The specific name ''L. sugondesenus'' is named in honour of two of the chief members of [[Jour & Leon]]'s 1931 dig that uncovered the first ''Ligmaceratops'', [[Anglei|Ænglish]] paleontologist Carl Sugon and [[Urcea|Urcean]] geologist J. Desenus.

Shazitnâmeh (Audonian:شذیت نامه) is a branch of Nizari Isma'ilism followed by the Sultanate of Zaclaria. The Shazitnâmeh doctrine defines the political, religious, and spiritual dimensions of authority concerning Islamic leadership in Zaclaria.

Shazitnâmeh has a unique genealogy of Imams originating from the prophethood of Muhammad and tracing through the marriage of his daughter Fatimah to his cousin Ali and their son Hussein. However, the line of succession deviated in 633 when the Muslim apostate Musaylimah established a caliphate in Zaclaria and the lineage continued through him to other male Imams. The lineage became ambilineal with the rise of prophetess Soraya Al-Fassara ibn Hedayati during the Battle of Apostate Zaclaria. This deviation was an early step in the formation of Shazitnâmeh, making it different from other branches of Nizari Isma'ili.

One of the most notable aspects of Shazitnâmeh is its approach to gender equality. The doctrine views men and women as equals in the eyes of God and this is reflected in its religious laws and practices. Unlike in some other branches of Islam, women are allowed to lead prayers and hold positions of spiritual and religious authority in the community. This also extends to the role of the Sultana of Zaclaria, who, as both head of state and the "Commander of the Faithful", presides over the Council of Ministers and serves as the leader of Islam in Zaclaria. To further its emphasis on gender equality, Shazitnâmeh has made specific changes to traditional Islamic laws that promote equal treatment and opportunities for both men and women. For example, women have the right to initiate divorce in Shazitnâmeh and there is equal inheritance for both male and female descendants. Additionally, the education of both girls and boys is highly valued and considered a religious duty.

Another unique aspect of Shazitnâmeh is its focus on community service. The Imam, whether male or female, is charged with serving the community of their era and striving for their physical well-being to the best of their ability. The community pays the zakat (tithe) dues to the Imam, who in return imparts them with religious and spiritual guidance.

The current head of state and Imam in Zaclaria is Sultana Arabella IX, who presides over the Council of Ministers and is the ceremonial head of the Royal Defense Forces.
