Sirdabi Caliphate

The Sirdabi Caliphate is one of the preeminent powers of the lands surrounding the Adelantean Sea, encompassing numerous provinces and emirates spanning Near Ruleska and northern Idiri. It represents the community of the Azadi faithful, united under the rulership of the caliph who is considered the successor to the Prophet Azad. Perhaps the most cultured society in the known world, the Sirdabi Caliphate is renowned for its poetry, literature, and calligraphic art in addition to its faith.

Regions

The Sirdabi Caliphate is made up of the heartland of Rahoum and its seven provinces, along with two emirates that operate with some degree of independence but ultimately owe allegiance to Sirdab.

• Rahoum, the Sirdabi heartland, land of vast deserts and rugged coasts, and home to numerous nomadic tribes.
• Marzum, a narrow strip of high mountains and fertile coastal plains overlooking the Sea of Salaah.
• Saramat, the mountainous border province that has long been on the front lines of conflict between Sirdab and the Kalentoi Empire.
• Irzal, a former great empire and still the source of much learning, as well as insurrection and intrigue.
• Raziya, gateway to the Idiri continent and home to the great port metropolis of Omrazir.
• Amunat, another great kingdom of ancient times, still renowned for the piety and pride of its people who call the River Tamarat their mother.
• Ifru, a province reliant on the fruits of trade through the eastern Hazari Desert, and otherwise considered something of a backwater of the caliphate.
• Tessere, a land of harsh deserts and temperate shores, considered the homeland of the people whose name it derives from.

• The Emirate of Eladje, a withdrawn and somewhat mysterious land centered upon the inland sea of Mir Eladje.
• The Emirate of Koumbasi, a wealthy nation of northwestern Idiri, as rich in the learning of its universities as it is in gold from the trade routes it controls.
