End of the Timurid Dynasty

Centuries of conquest, patronage of the finest arts, and iron-fisted rule by Tamerlane himself were not enough to ensure the survival of his petty line. Despite the man's brilliance in all matters of state, be it conquest wherein he led his armies as far as the doors of the Rus, be it matters of administration wherein he ruled a vast empire with impressive elegance, or be it the sponsorship of arts wherein he funded artists, poets, and architects, none of his successors held even a spark of the fire of this great man's brilliance. As a result, his line has ended with the final remnants of his homeland falling apart before the might of our grand armies. A new day for Khorasan and the people formerly under Timurid rule!
