The Middle East

The territories beyond Europa are considered by civilised opinion to be exceedingly dangerous places. From the vast expanses of Africa to the fractious Holy Lands, to darkest Sinae and Seres - which were abandoned by their native populations, to disastrous effect on the continent of Europa.

Except for Carthage and Aegyptus, not much is known about these nations. What is known is that the Scaleson Caliphate occupies Jerusalem – to the great anger of the Riteguarders and Revelationaries across Europa – and Constantinople – to the rage of the Roman Empire, in particular Graecia. It is also known that the Caliphate has ambitions for Aegyptus, and the wider Middle East.

Less still is known about the Persian Empire beyond the Caliphate, except for the epic tales told about their past battles of these Lizardmen with Greek city states.

The Scaleson Caliphate
Ruled by Suleiman the Magnificent, it is the most stable state in the Middle East. Its heartland is Turkey, including Anatalia, with its capital in Constantinople. It also enjoys a clean sweep of the Holy territories - Israel, Mecca and Medina - as well as Iraq, Syria, and two strips of Arabia.

Arabia
A province beset by warring states, the Scaleson Caliphate pushes its ambitions in this region but faces fierce resistance. Many mercenaries in the Middle East and North Africa are attracted to fight for the various states of this region.

Traditionally the largest/most significant states exist in Yemen and Oman. But the most interesting development has been the rise of Ibn Saud. They are gathering strength fast around the foothills of Riyadh - their use of tactics and shunning of magic is causing waves and flocking followers to their cause. It is thought that if nothing is done they will soon overtake Riyadh, and storm across the Middle East.
