The Emirate of Kizad
« on: January 23, 2022, 10:07:08 PM »

In the 10th Century Muslim's from Rayyu made the decision to further try and spread the Muslim faith to the pagans living on the island to their South. The initial expeditions found people resistance to the faith and so in 983 AD the Emir of Rayyu ordered an invasion. This invasion failed and was a disaster for the Emir. Two years later a General of the Emir who had retired four years before the failed invasion called Mahmud Mansur Karim gathered a voulenteer army together and crossed the Strait of Auraxis and was successful in conquering the island. He had been expected to hand the island over to the Emir but instead he refused. There were several attempts by the Emir of Rayyu to conquer the island but each failed under the defense commanded by Mahmud Mansur Karim. In 987 AD it was agreed that the Emir of Rayyu would recognise the General as Emir of what was now called Kizad so long as he promised to pay an annual tribute. This was agreed and the tradition has stood ever since.

The Island of Kizad is however sadly not as developed and wealthy as its Northern cousins as it was discovered much of the island was swampy and low lying. The island is famed for growing dates which grow in low quality water. The island is also famed for fishing which makes up a great deal of its income. Many of the nations young men actively look to leave the island and as such journey to Rayyu to join the The Rayyu Foreign Legion
