Oh I call the Khazars!

Edit: @das, presumably the Khazarian Kaganate is a Khazar overclass with a majority East Slavic population at this point?

BACKGROUND: The Madanapala Empire, centered in the ancient city of Varanasi, is the third of the great Gangetic empires. The first one was Magadha; the second, Gupta; and the Madanapalas intend to best even those two. And thus far, the process is going well. Since the 14th century when the Madanapala Empire emerged from one of the petty princedoms of the Gangetic Plain, led by its charismatic first ruler Madanapala I after whom the empire and the dynasty were named, it has built up a strong buerocratic system, a numerous, disciplinned army, and has overwhelmed much of Northern India, with only Telingana and Tarushkia holding their ground. Kekapala I has prevented it from collapsing to exhausting in the 16th century, after a particularily grueling war with Telingana, and now the ambitious Gangetics are prepared to campaign once more.

BACKGROUND: Since the days of the legendary king Karikalan, the Cholas, despite occasional setbacks, only grew, both in territory and in power. Having united much of south India's eastern coast through war and marriage, the Cholas have however met their match in the Vijayabahas of Ceylon, who not only resisted the attempts to conquer their island fully, but eventually even expelled the Cholas from it and defeated them on the sea. From the 13th century onwards, two great naval powers fought indecisively; the Cholas made a few gains, but the Sinhalese Vijayabahas still dominated much of the Indian Ocean trade. Perhaps this struggle is futile, but on the other hand, no future is as promising to the Cholas as that of the colonial empire.

I thought Abaddon was claiming Tarushkia, though Madanapala could also be considered a brown color.
