Battle Standard of General Cyrus
Civil War in Sind!
In a shocking move, the Shah has decided to move from the traditional isolationism of Persia and intervene in the recent civil war in Sind. The tribes of Sind, who united previously to fight off Afghani raiders, have splintered and now fight bloody wars against each other. The Shah has decided to support Chief Abdul al-Awarzi's claim to rule Sind. He has sent the Immortals, Persia's Special Forces, led by General Cyrus to assist al-Awarzi...
From the Journal of Mahmoud Kabad:
Sind is hell. Having only arrived last month, our numbers have already been diminished to half. I don't blame General Cyrus, but these damn Sinds. You cannot trust them. The ones who offer us shelter in the evening offer us daggers in our throats in the morning. But we have had some successes. Thanks to General Cyrus we have conquered Karachi, the largest city in this region. We have done so in the name of the devil al-Awarzi, but I am no fool. The Shah will never surrender this land and al-Awarzi is truly idiotic if he thinks we will surrender this land in the future. Already Persians have moved into old Sindi towns and villages, freshly cleansed of enemy tribes. These Sinds truly are bastards, murdering their own brothers. We Immortals have done little real fighting, mostly training the locals in how to fight for themselves. I lead a troop of 100 Sindis. I can't even trust my own men. Well, I must stop writing now. General Cyrus calls. It is time to move. We will finish this damn mission if it is the death of me, and it most likely will.
