The Rise of our ruler

Ever since the sack of its capital in 1398 the Delhi Sultanate has been in a constant state of decay. Within short time the sultanates of Bengal, Gujarat, Malwa and even Jaunpur were proclaimed independent by former governors, while our own Sayyid dynasty took the opportunity to seize power over the city itself. Since however we have been unable to consolidate the fracturing sultanate and our direct influence does not extend far from the city walls of Delhi itself.\nThe Lodi family in Sirhind has been our last great supporter. With influence over most of the Afghan nobles in our kingdom they have been able to bring order to the few lands that still remain loyal. In return our predecessors have granted them what influence and power they could. However, with the rise of Bahlul Lodi as the head of the family, Delhi is once again at risk. Word has reached us that Bahlul is planning to march on Delhi, to impose his will on the Sultan and possibly end the Sayyid dynasty.
