The Decline of Delhi

While a great tragedy to many, Timur's sack of Delhi in 1398 was one of the most important events in the history of our sultanate. It is what propelled our ancestors from mere governors of the east (Malik-us-Sharq) to Sultans in their own right. Since that day we have watched with great interest as the Delhi Sultanate has gradually been torn apart by inner struggles and claimants with outside support, using every opportunity to slowly eat away at their control over northern India.\nDelhi's situation is now worse than ever and as yet another power hungry local strongman marches on the capital an increasing stream of Delhian nobles and officials pour over our borders seeking new employment and offering to help us secure what remains of the Delhian lands.
