To: Our Illustrious friend the Lord of Babylon
From: Your humble servant King Raskim of Dilmun
Greetings to you, old friend. It pleases us that the outpost of Bakran on your shore brings us both prosperity. However, our success is coveted by jealous neighbors. The land of Elam looks upon my lands with jealous eyes.
If they were to war with Dilmun, then both of our economies would be greatly disrupted. Because of their history in your lands before your ancestors pushed them out of Babylonia, we believe that they're greed would turn to your lands next.
We wish to sign a defensive alliance with the mighty state of Babylon. Should one of us be afflicted by war, the other will come to his rescue. Together, we are greater than any threat. May the Bel Marduk shine upon our friendship.

It is where the Orange nation and the Red Aryans, Near the norhern Border... and affectes them so much that they convert!
A dusty caravan arrives in Jemen, led by a tall, imposing but jocular man. His caravan bears goods from Dilmun, Babylon, and beyond both.
To the Great Lord of Jemen, from his friend to the north, the King of Dilmun,
Word has reached us of the business that you do in the south and samples of your wondrous spices have pleased our lords. We wish to arrange a protected caravan route between our great empire and yours so that we might both profit from wider markets.
My servant, Rasifa, who bears this message has scouted a suitable caravan trail to the town of Larci, our greatest hub of trade on the mainland. We look forward to a great and prosperous friendship in the future.

Good update. Shorter (chronologically) than I expected it to be, but it's for the best. When is the next deadline?

To the mighty King of Dilmun,
Our people are amazed by your initiative, and we greatly except your offer to expand trade between our nations. We look forward on an even bigger cooperation between our two empires!

It is with sadness that I record the death of my predecessor. His memory will live on with their record. I am honoured though, to be chosen to continue this legacy. I will record the revival our realm until such a point as I cease to draw breath.
Year 852
The great and noble King Rashim IV did decide to go on a grand tour of his realm to serve justice to his people and give all a chance to marvel in is splendour. The King did first set out to Larci and from their travelled the interior.
Year 853
The King’s progression took ship from Larci and left for the outpost of Bakran on the Babylonian coast. The settlement has grown much since the land was given to the King’s father, the blessed Khalidi II, blessed be his name. The King was greeted in full royal majesty by the lord of Bakran who showered upon the king and his progress the goods of the west.
The King did then take ship a second time to visit the Gates of Tarn. The Gates had formed two towns, South Gate and North Gate. Both did prosper in the days since their founding. There the lord of both gates did give to the King samples of the goods flowing through the gates. They were not as numerous as those that flowed through Bakran.
Year 854
The King did return home to the glorious news that a son had been born in his absence. The child was named Khalidi, after the great king and father of King Rashim IV. His great deeds will live on until eternity in the books of history just as does that of his namesake.
Year 857
The King’s advisors did note that a the tribes who came to Larci did bring with them large amounts of spices. These spices were of excellent taste and quality. The tribesmen did say that they acquired the spices from a nation called Jemen. The name had been talked of before in the King’s presence and he did decide to send word to the kings of Jemen so that they might both benefit. He did put out the call to brave men.
His call was answered by many men, but one did stand out amongst the rest. He was Rasifa, the son of the chief of the Bweman tribe. The Bweman were ancient allies of the Dilmuni. Rasifa’s grandfather led his tribe with King Khalidi II against the Beouni at Larci, while his family had service as far traders for generations before.
Rasifa did take the best men of his tribe and load them onto the best camels. The King gave him gifts to present to the Jemeni.
Year 860
Rasifa did return from his journey to the Jemeni. He returned laden with the treasures of the south and the best wishes of her king. Along the way Rasifa did gain oaths of loyalty to the King of Dilmun from the tribes of the interior and arrange for safe passage and mutual defence against banditry along the path he tread. With him came the first caravan from Jemen along with promises of many more to come.
Year 864
In this year the great King, Raskim IV, did send messangers to the great King Ammirapi of Babylon. The two great kings did continue the co-operation of their fathers and did sign an eternal pact to defend each other against anyone who would dare to oppose their kind rules and peaceful ways.
King Raskim IV did perform the ceremonies to bring about the blessings of Bel Marduk and all the other gods of Dilmun and Babylon upon this eternal bond of friendship.
Year 867
Three days of celebration were declared throughout the kingdom in honour of a most auspicious day. The King, seeing that his servant Rasifa was deserving of a reward for his years of service and that his youngest daughter was yet unmarried he did decree that his youngest daughter, Reibya, would be married to Rasifa of the Bweman. In this way, the royal family united with the Bweman for eternity.
Year 869
The King and his family be blessed! Prince Sibasad’s wife has given birth to a son who shall be named Raskim in honour of his grandfather.
Year 870
In this year the Bweman did settle in the town of Larci, there to become lords of that town. Some stayed in the deserts, continuing their nomadic ways under Prince Rasifa’s brother. In this year the royal family was doubly blessed as both Rasifa, the prince my marriage, and Sibasad the Prince by birth, did have sons born to them through their wives. Rasifa’s son was named Khaladin. Sibasad’s son was named Rasifa.
Year 875
The King did send out word to all wise men of the world to come to Dilmun. Great riches and open minds awaited these men and they came to Dilmun, Bakran, Larci, and the Gates of Tarn to spread their knowledge.
Year 881
The Kingdom mourns. Sibasad, the great traveller, adventuring, sailor, warrior, and diplomat has departed from this world. Tears came to the eyes of King Raskim as he performed the services to see him safely to the afterlife.
Year 883
King Raskim IV, now very long in years, became greatly ill. Declaring himself unable to perform his duties to his people, he stepped down as King and High Priest to the Dilmuni people. Though there were great protests for him to remain, he would not allow his reign to continue if he were unfit to carry on.
[Historian’s Note: It is not known whether the aging Raskim IV had actually taken ill or was forced out of his position. Later events seem to suggest that either Sibasad forced him out and his brother rectified the situation, or that Raskim IV really did leave the kingdom to Sibasad and his brother was angered at not being the chosen successor.]
His son, Sibasad, now King Sibasad I, succeeded him as King. He declared great celebrations in honour of his father so that he might see how the people loved him.
Year 885
Raskim, once known as the King and the fourth of his name, passed into the world beyond. King Sibasad prepared the ceremony to send him on his way in full view of the public in Dilmun
Year 886
King Sibasad followed his father into the afterlife after a short reign after a tragic accident during sword practice. Still a young man, he will be remembered for continuing his father’s work. His first son, the young Raskim, shall rule with his uncles, Rakhim and Rasifa, to advise him. He was crowned King Raskim V and great will be his deeds, as he follows his grandfather in name as well as in deed.
[Historian’s Note: It is likely that Sibasad was murdered. Whether by his twin brother Rakhim or the clever courtier Rasifa, or both, will never be known.]
Year 895
The King did send away his uncle, the great prince Rakhim, was appointed as the lord of Bakran. He took to the position with great zeal, though he is said to lament leaving the city he has lived in since his birth.
Year 897
At the suggestion of the King, Rasifa, the great and wise courtier, retired from public service to write his memoirs.
Year 898
The king unveiled his program for the middle years of his reign…
[Historian’s Note: Here the record is damaged. It is unknown what king Raskim V declared, though his reign made it rather obvious what his plans for the kingdom were. It is suggested that Raskim V could not take any great action in the kingdom until his regents Rasifa and Rakhim were out of the way. It is a credit to Raskim and to the Dilmuni system of kingship that he did not have both executed, as they surely would have done to him had either of them taken the throne.]
