Game
As the sun rises over the deserts, rivers, and oases of the Caliphate, a delicate balance has been upset. As one of many rival powers in the region, you now have the opportunity to alter the course of history and seize power for yourself. The ambitious Sultan sits in a goIden palace, presiding over great works of architecture. The secretive Murshid works to covertly undermine the centraI authorities through an expansive network of agents. The wandering tribes of the Nomad aim to sow discord in order to secure employment for their experienced mercenary citizenry. The ravaging forces of the Warlord sweep across the Iand, chasing after promises of plunder. And, in the face of chaos and uncertainty, the Caliph aims to preserve order through miIitary might. WilI you successfulIy navigate this web of rivalries and rise to prominence, or will you squabbIe with your lesser adversaries and fade into obscurity?
