I did, lol. I wish I had a more ruined kind of paper though. If you notice, I like using portraits, paintings and authentic images for the major stories.

How do we still have a treasury after losing gold at such an appalling rate?
That's Misr's economical management. Trades and conquests fueled our treasury enough to support this cost.
What's indeed true is that we need to think in economy now, but that is a topic for the council, Nidham. We will meet there soon.
BTW I'm back from my vacations, but I must sleep now because tomorrow I'll start my new job early in the morning. Tomorrow I'll try to catch up with the most I can. It's great to be back!

We start with the Andes.
As we know, the invasion of the Andes, as coordinated by the explorers of the Ummah, turned out to be a grand success. The cities that were captured were vital to the Inca, as they supplied the mountainous regions with food. The Inca agreed to meet up with the explorers, and unconditionally surrender:
The Inca believed that they were doomed by what they saw as mere conquerors. To their surprise, after they surrendered, all the cities that they have lost have been evacuated and given back to the locals of the area. Not only that, but the Incas received the city of Tuqumeh, which did not belong to them before. This may be a start of a friendly relationship between the Ummah and the Inca:
Meanwhile, in Yu'qataan, the locals who helped the Ummah were given back their just reward: Autonomy. The colony of Tuitan is now a major hub that is shared by all the local tribes, as well as Tenoshtitlan. For now, they have embraced Islam, believing it to be more just than the religion they were previously following. We also gifted them our iron-working methods. Though they mistrust us a bit:

The Ethiopian Kingdom met its demise when a local king traded the entire treasury and promised to change his entire government for sea navigating technology. The people were of course outraged at this decision, as well as the many other kings of the region. So the region fell into civil war:
As a response to the instability, the Ummah offered local kingdoms who supported the cause of Islam their help, and the condition would be that they joined the Community. Aksum was the first city to be secured from the civil strife:
The next city invaded was Addis Ababa, a city full of Taoist worshippers. They defended as hard as they could, but could not overcome us. In desperation, they left the city, but before they did that, they destroyed it, burning down their own houses and salting their crops. They left us with ruins, and we had no other option but to remove the city from the pages of history:
Finally, we secured the city of Muqdisho, which was an Orthodox Christian fishing community. We needed this city to finally be able to open up the coast connected Zanzibar to the rest of the Ummah. The locals tried to resist, but ultimately failed. Many of them fled to the nearby city of Moyale, where they will no doubt be organizing a larger resistance:

I apologize for doing this, but I need to spend some time on self-reflection and self-improvement, and this will take time.
Therefore, this story will no longer be receiving updates. In addition, I am going to quit the CivFanatics forum, at least for a time. If I return, then I will do that in the summer. If not, then it was nice meeting all of you, and it was a pleasure to give you guys something interesting to read for a little while.
Fare well, and I hope for everyone the best of outcomes.

From here on I'll keep the Summary Sanguiv has started. This has happened because our dear friend had to face new adventures in his life, and this story couldn't be handled with his new assignments. He has left the story's life in the hands of the Shura, the council of the Caliphate, to keep with it without him. We all bid him farewell.
You may use the Opening Post (which got you here in the first place) to check on all the chapters Sanguiv himself has divided the story. From here on we will add the new chapters that continue this saga. Let's see how our Arabia will deal with this new reality.
Chapters:
A retrospective of Balayzi
The tale of young Ayzur
The expansion of Trades
Plague, Wonders of the World, Herodotus, Military Mobilizations, Banks and Pirates! The Ummah on the end of the XIIIth century
Persia: The Fall of the Seljuqs and the expansion of the Ummah
The Turkish rebellion from within: The plot of Harun
The Promise: A Tale of the Khodadads
A traitor within the ranks
We Watch
The Throning of a new Caliph part I
The Throning of a new Caliph part II

A section dedicated to tell historical facts of the Caliphate.

Very well. Spirictum, if you would like, you can take control of the story as Caliph. I will remain for the rest of today, though I will leave by tomorrow.
I'm honored by your trust and this appointment, but I won't take as Caliph if the council doesn't want that. I'll bring that matter there and see how we can conclude this.
It's sad to know that you'll leave. Curious as I am (and I'm not alone in this), I've seeked reasons for your departure, and I hope that what I found, and the consequences of that on my imagination, don't fall on your shoulders in a way that it saddens you. Some are born or end up in a harder place then others. I hope you can find your place and feel well with it.
And I also hope to see you again. The internet is big, but time and our lives are bigger. If we keep avoiding death, we shall meet again. Farewell Sanguiv, good luck on your new quest!
One last request: If you may, put a link on the Opening Post of the story redirecting the Summary to my previous post, the one I stated it's the recovery post. From there we may keep the Summary alive without much trouble.

Damn that was beautiful. I would say you are regent and write the story for now while we discuss further.
It's impossible to understand the Caliphate without understanding Balayzi.
Balayzi stepped out of nowhere, bringing words of wisdom. At first none understood his motives, but the Ummah was tired of old Caliphs and decided to make a revolution: Name the stranger the new Caliph.
If that was the right decision, nobody may know it. What is true is our reality right now, more then 300 years later.
Balayzi not only administered the Caliphate greatly, but opened the way to the Majlis ash-Shura, the Council of the Caliphate, which rules to this day. Balayzi got his line to govern the Caliphate for a long time already, but not everything lasts forever.
There was a time which still requires a lot more studying to uncover its secrets, a time when Balayzi's line simply vanished. Now, that the truth was uncovered, Balayzi's reign is no more, and the Shura is deciding what to do. Everyone knows that the Counselor of Misr was governing in the Caliph's absence, but for a long time now we believed the Caliph had returned. Has that truly happened? Has the Caliph really returned and got all his duties back? Or was this some kind of ruse used by Dar Misr to keep his control?
It is well known that the council is majorly debating a return to our roots, making the Caliph a democratically elected charge. The Ummah has to decide who will be the Caliph, that's what most are saying, and what Dar Misr is also saying.

You misspelled "administered." Sorry if my grammar-fixing annoys you. Also, nice banner!
I actually prefer that people correct me. I didn't know it gained an 'e' when in this form, I thought that if it's Administration it would be administred. Thanks for the correction!
Yeah, now this is the official banner/flag of Misr.

Yeah English is weird sometimes. Administred just doesn't work
