Azari
Shah Azari (a.k.a. Khan)
Born to a slave, Azari was abandoned by his clan to avoid feeding him. He was captured and enslaved by the clan that had abandoned him, but he was eventually able to escape. He soon began making alliances, building a reputation as a warrior and attracting a growing number of followers. Going against custom, Azari put competent allies rather than relatives in key positions and executed the leaders of enemy tribes while incorporating the remaining members into his clan. He ordered that all looting wait until after a complete victory had been won, and he organized his warriors into units of 10 without regard to kin. Though Azari was an animist, his followers included Christians, Muslims and Buddhists. By 1205 he had vanquished all rivals, including his former best friend Jamuka. The following year, he called a meeting of representatives from every part of the territory and established a nation encompassing the Karakum desert. In order to suppress the traditional causes of tribal warfare, he abolished inherited aristocratic titles. He also forbade the selling and kidnapping of women, banned enslavement, and made livestock theft punishable by death. Moreover, Azari ordered the adoption of a legal system, conducted a regular census, and granted diplomatic immunity to foreign ambassadors.
