>>6003034>PICK UP THE TORCH - ENTRY 1>1405- Timur, the Ruler of the Timurid Empire has died. Timur, Tamerlane, The Sword of Islam, Timur the Lame; he carried many names although you knew him as brother. You are Kartal (we can vote on this, Eagle in ancient Uzbek), and you were there since the beginning. Ever since that faithful day young Timur and your small band began raiding travelers for food and their herds, and the glorious leader took the injury that started the name that has casted the darkness of fear in the hearts of all men of the known world. Though the true Mongol Empire has not been fully reconstituted, Timur was close. From Delhi to Aleppo, the empire stretches. Surrounded on all sides by ravenous dogs such as the bastard Ottomans, the Golden Horde, or the other worthless Sultanates. While they might be cowed for now with the pain and devastion your old master inflicted upon them, it will not be long now with his death that they will seek revenge.
Your old leader appointed his various sons to positions of power, and while some are certainly useful; they tend to squable more than cooperate. The non-related higher ups are just as likely to sodomize you in a field as they are to come to your aid. As Timur's old second in command, they seek to take your place for the next Emperor.
