History
The territory of the dukedom was a part of the Kingdom of Granada until 1264, when it was won by King Alfonso X of Castile. The Granadans had named the castle and its surrounding lands the Qalat at Yazula, Arabic for "Castle of the Gazules", from which its Spanish name is derived.[1]

gollark: `"abcdefg" / "d"` works.
gollark: Like how potatOS implements string division.
gollark: Yes. But CC does it differently so it *is* sandboxed that way so we can do fun and ill-advised things.
gollark: CC is also extremely well sandboxed now. So much so that they can safely expose `debug`.
gollark: I'd actually expect OC to be a bit more vulnerable to that now since it uses native Lua instead of Cobalt's Java implementation.
