RISE OF ARSACIDS
The year 272 BC the descandants of Alexander turned to each other.
The Greeks were busy to fight to ignore other factions that will rise.
In the west Romanis are about to unite whole Italy.
Pyrrhus looks like to give up his Italian territories and left the fate to their own will.
The phonecians built a city named "New City" and became one dominant power in African Coast even
they were about to dominate Iberia. Celtiberians were in hopeles situation without any unity in the peninsula they do not promise a bright future. Like other Celts relatives in Galia.
Casse faction trys to unite whole Island. Sweboz also trys to unite all German tribes.
Getai looks like an isolated land but very dangerous to face them.
Epirus, Macedons and Greek Federation have unceasing war between each other.
Arche Seleukeia struggles to survive both in east and west but She has many enemies Ptolemic Egypt has still dreams to have Syria. Pontos and Hayasdan do not look like very loyal. Saromaute is stopped by Hayasdan but how long?
As that is not enough Bactrian Rulers and Parthian Straph rebels....
but The Arche Seleukeia did not meet their worst enemy yet.
Dahaes as the greeks call them as robbers slowly puts their eyes into territories of Arche Seleukeia that is still trying to wake her death bed.
Old King Phrapates the father of Arshak the elder, crown prince of pahlava and The grandfather of young Army Commander of Arshak.
He thought he had an enough hard life and wanted to spend his last days in his Capital city , Nisa.
He left the administration to his son and left the army to his young grandson Arshak.
Arshak the elder chose to live in Khiva and were busy to save his state from bankrupcy.
His son Arshak the younger ordered all of the Generals and his man to mobilize in the capital. No one was sure what was hidden in his thoughts.
Before the winter he managed to unite all of Pahlava Armies in Nisa.
Then an unexpected thing happened.
Arshak passed the boundries of Arche Seleukeia lands and most of his men thought he would raid the lands of Arche Seleukeia and come home but Arshak went into deeper and deeper into the heart of Margiane Province.
When the Garrison of Antiocheia-Margiane saw the Pahlavan Riders they alarmed the Old General Achaios; but he was sure the pahlavans would raid and go later. He collected the civillians into the city and closed the Gates.
But When he was awake next morning. Arshak and his "0ne Thousand soldiers" were still there and one forgot the close the gates.
Old Achaios was to late to respond.
As his spies manages to open the gates for him Arshak ordered his "One Thousand Men" to start the arrow rain.
Civillians were panicked. Puny garrison melted under the arrow rains but although Old General Achaios saw the inevitable end, he ordered his men to charge!
When the arrow rain stopped and the streets of Antiocheia-Margiane were saturated with blood.
Arshak found old Achios lies dead.
When The King heard the raid become conquest, at first he was happy but later he was lost in thoughts.
Next days The King got many messengers.
Pontos, Hayasdan and Baktria had broken their alliances with arche Seleukeia and were ready to support
Pahlava.
Everybody wanted to see Arshak the younger but he didnot return to Capital even he left his first conquest and rumours spread than he was on the way of Marakanda.
When The Great King heard the news of fall of the city and the betrayal of his allies. He swore to wipe out all Pahlavans.
But the Great Rebellion already started and and Marakanda was under attack and all knowledable Generals of Arche Seleukeia knew that hard times for arche Seleukeia just began!
