Nation Background: Khazaria has always been a strong power, which however was not always a good thing for it as its various neighbours kept uniting in coalitions to stop the Kaganate's expansion. The fact that their southern neighbours participated in this has only proven that they are ungrateful dogs, for without Khazar help the Caliphal forces would never have taken Constantinople. Still, though often enough kept at bay, the Khazars made gains in most directions, over time. Recently revived and reformed by Kagan Iyas IV, Khazaria, despite some backwardness, is ready to press on, but the problem is that of choice, for the southern Bulgar lands and the access to the Mediterranean, Central Asia and the control of the Silk Route and Swedish Baltic colonies and the access to the Baltic look equally seductive.

It is a dangerous continent, this Europe. It seems we share common interests, perhaps we should ally to protect these interests?

From: Kingdom of Sweden
To: Poland

We request a non-aggression pact of 5 years, unless you wish for the Baltic to become a bloodbath again.
 
When Sultan Saddam rose to power in Andalusia..

"Rafiq" means gentle in Arabic. And Sultan Rafiq was indeed a gentle man; his Andalusian Empire had not been in any wars during his lifetime. Gently yet firmly they had spread the word of Islam throughout the world and sometimes with swords, though, but it wasn't the same as going to wars.

Rafiq was loved and respected.

Sultan Rafiq

***

Rafiq had a son named Saddam. "One who confronts", it meant.

And as Saddam grew older, the more it became obvious that he would make a great Sultan when Rafiq would pass away.

Finaly the day came. Altough Rafiq's death was not the usual kind. It appears he stabbed himself to death - or that is how the public story goes, altough it is almost too obvious that Rafiq was murdered. By Prince Saddam? Perhaps, that we do not know.

Either way, Saddam was coronated the day after, at the age of 34. And his reign would be long and quite interresting...
