Broken Crescent 3 Diplomacy: Progress
The world that once every one knew was quickly vanishing. Quickly growing nations of around the Middle East, India, Asia Minor, and Africa have wiped out of all independent cities. Growing there empires off small bumps in the road. This was known the Progress Era. It though, Abruptly ended when there was no more smaller kingdoms left.
Every nation now turning to their borders, Seeing that the next movement they take would cause a major war this time, and leave there kingdom defenseless for another kingdom to attack. Now, Powers are at their peak in Military. With no words being spoke to other kingdoms, An uneasy rest came to all, not knowing when they will be invaded.
To all of the eastern kingdoms, the war between the Hindus and the Ghorid Empire have come to a standoff. If the Ghorid Empire now invades India. Then the Ghorids may be in fact one of the strongest nations in the world.
To the west of the Ghorid Empire, The Ghaznavids are now possibly looking at a two front war. With the Sindh rallying up the troops by their borders. and the Shahs doing random raids against small towns. The Ghaznavids are at a truce with the Ghorids, after a very long stalemate battle, gaining no lands and losing over half of the military a piece, For the Ghaznavids. This gets rid of one front.
To the center of the Middle East. There are no wars, Though, Small skirmishes on the Abassid Caliphate border and the Seljuk Turks. Georgia, having a rather large very well equipped army at the borders. No one knows if it is an invasion force, or a defense force.
In Africa. The Ayyubid Sultanate, once the strongest nation of the Nile, is being repelled back by one of the first African Empires. Muraka. This empire has grown from dust into a dangerous threat, taking over valuable trade posts to the Omans. and taking more ground from the Ayyubid Sultanate from Migration. The great leader of the Ayyubid Sultanate people now sets an elite army to the south, to scare away the hordes of African people,
The holy city of Jerusalem now being well under the Crusader's power. After their major victory against the Ayyubid Sultanate of Homs castle. Though, not attacking the Ayyubid Sultanate’s Damascus due to a "Cease Fire". Though, nobody knows how long peace will keep, Perhaps they are just waiting for France's army of Crusaders spotted off the coast of Iraklion to land, and break the stale mate of the Ayyubid Sultanate.
A tad bit up the north lays the Proud "Principality of Antioch." This was a result of two smaller kingdoms, The Kingdom of Antioch, and the Kingdom of Armenia. Merging due to rivals enemies. Once after they merged. They attacked the Abassid Caliphate , Winning a victory and gaining a defensive buffer zone, Aleppo. Though... The Abassid Caliphate only have towns past Aleppo, With a large poorly equipped army now at the border of the two countries, who knows if it is an invading force, or an army quickly formed to stop the might of the Antioch and Armenian people.
To the North West corner. The Turks now looking what to do, After their quick victory over a Roman Castle at the borders, while the Romans were distracted by a call that a Possible Attack from France to the island of Iraklion. The Romans are no stranger to wars in Europe. Considering that now they Divide their empire's military force. An event like this happened more than half a century ago. The western front at war with Hungry and Venice. The eastern at a dead lock between the Russians, the Turks, and any passing Crusader armies.
To the Arabian Coast line, the trade like country of the Imamate of Oman have built more of a trade empire than a military. Bribing cities to join their empire for a "Few coins" Now that they control almost the whole coast of Arabia to the Indian Ocean. They have migrated north into the Sindh lands. Possibly provoking the Sindhs, To the south, The Arabians are met with the Ayyubid Sultanate, and a rather large forces called in at the threat of the Imamate of Oman. Now they protect one of the holy cities Mecca with their lives. of course, Being a trader at best, means not being military at best. They have lost their trade outposts on the Horn of Africa, and a small island trade posts to the African nations.
The Omans now just entering the new fear of what the world has already been experiencing for the last few years. They call for a meeting for all empires to come to, At the small port city of Sur, located at the northern Arabian coast line. Easy to get to by ships from any where the Indian ocean touches. They now invite all nations to come and to discuss things easier than before. The building planning to be used is a Noble's second house, Though, The government has taken away that man's second house and declared it a Diplomatic Center. Being only a hand full of guards at the building, and a natural trade center. They hope to now, have the impossible be done, Having sent out invitations to all the empires, and have all empires sit down, and Talk.
There would be a lone Oman diplomat that was fairly young at a table with 16 chairs, Waiting for the other diplomats to come in, Seeing that no one was their yet, or even any one was going to come, He eat foods that the king supplied the house of diplomats, and took long naps right at the diplomatic table, In his opinion, No one would come out this far to just talk.
