The Siddi state of Habsan

Versions seems to diverge on exactly how it happened, some say they came in the dark, some that they had hid in big boxes disguised as gifts, but somehow the commander of one of our coastal forts have managed to lose control of both his island fort and the entire region under his control at the same time. The perpetrators are a group of Siddis, former slaves of Ethiopian origin that have become a quite common sight in the navies and armies of this region.\nThe leader of the Siddis has sent an emissary to our court today, asking that we allow them to stay in control of the fort that they have taken in return for their loyal service to our state.
