The Empire of Araby

Stretching luxuriously across lands once ruled by the Empire of Augusta, the Empire of Araby lounges like a great cat-beautiful in its apparent indolence but ready to spring on its enemies with lightning speed should it be taunted. Its tributaries include some of the most ancient civilizations in the world-from the trade-rich ruins of Ērānšahr in the east to the contentious cities of the northern Ifriquiyan coast to the west. Unlike the savage barbarian kingdoms of Ereba in the northwest, the Land of Al Aqubar is the richest and most civilized land on earth-ruled by a Caliph who is the wisest, most civilized of all rulers. The roads are well-patrolled, taxes collected without oppression, and the caravanserai in even the most provincial towns can offer luxuries of which the barbarous princes of the north can only dream. For this the land of dreams, the land of righteousness, and above all the land of marvels.
