Sarranid Empire Reworked Submod for Mount & Blade: Warband

The Great Sack of Shariz in 1727 was a great blow to the prestige of the mighty Sarranid Sultans. The Last words of Sultan Farouk III as he lay dying of grief of such a huge loss in an old hospital of Ahmerrad echoes in the hearts of all Sarranids but specifically, his three sons.

"This Empire shall not fall so easily" . Shariz was lost. The Janissaries were in dissaray. In the midst of all this, The eldest of the brothers Shehzade Farouk rises to the throne and becomes Sultan Farouk IV in 1728. The new Sultan inherited a state that was steeped in debt and under invasion of the Kessick-Khergits.

But all is not lost. The second eldest, Shehzade Usama rallies the Janissaries in 1735 to fight a bloody battle against the Kessick-Khergits in the last moments of the Kessick-Sarranian War. With a new head, the Old Corps feels a breath of new life and, even though they field older equipment than the new nations of Calradia, They push the invaders back to walls of Tulga.

In 1739, The Swadian Empire and Commonwealth of Alvion intervene and hold the Narra Conference calling for an end to the war and for The Sarranid Empire to repay its debts. Crippled by The Narra Conference which forced it into Constitutional Monarchy. For 40 years, from 1740 the New Republic of Sarrania will rule the Empire from their Government Headquarters in Ahmerrad with the Sarranid Sultan only a figurehead, until the Empire can repay its debts.

This Empire Shall not fall so easily. After ruling with little power, Sultan Farouk IV and his brothers, Shehzade Gazi Usama and Shehzade Omer topple the Foreign installed regime in Ahmerad in the Revolution of Thalath in 1768. And Calradia stares in shock as the new Sarranid Foreign Policy takes shape.

Sultan Farouk constructs the new government capital Yenishariz by 1780 and Refuses to pay the debt to The Rhodok Republic, thus plunging the state into war.

In the new City of Yenishiraz, Shehzade Omer carries out a reformation amongst the soldiers in 1799 by creating the Sarranid Jedid Corp as a modern army with help from Castillo and Ancian captains.

And in the east Shehzade Gazi Usama prepares for another war against the Kessick-Khergit Hetmate with his old yet Invigorated Army.

The Empire Stabalises with military aid and guidance from the ageing Bhelerbey of Ahmerrad and the Emir of Bariyye. Their Mamluke Corps will also prove useful in the upcoming turmoil.

In 1800 a young officer appears near Yenishariz. He has arrived after studying abroad for some time. With him comes hope
