Rutba

Rutba was a nation in Multi's AHOE. It is his second official nation after Urfa.

Early Period
The kingdom of Rutba was formed when the Mesopotamian city of Cordania expanded into the area of Sumer. The Rutban army conquered Jordan, and formed the Ayyubids.

Middle Eastern Wars
The Egyptian Empire and Urfa declared on the Ayyubids. Vordalkien and Carthage helped the Ayyubids. The war progressed and the war ended with Syria and southern Kurdistan ceded to the Ayyubids.

The Ayyubid Empire
After the Middle Eastern Wars, a dictator took power in the Ayyubids. He formed the Ayyubid Empire and invaded and annexed Hafai, Kozan, Egypt, and Urfa. Vordalkien then declared war on the Ayyubids. The Ayyubids advanced into Anatolia until they were halted at the battle of Trebizond. After this, the Vordalkien army pushed back into Syria, Mesopotamia, and Anatolia. The resulting peace lost these areas to Vordalkien.

The end of the Ayyubids
The Ayyubids spent most of the next 30 years modernizing the navy and army, and many scientific advancements were made. The end came when the Ayyubids declared war on Axum. Axum called in Nejd, and even though Axum was annexed, Israel and Arabia were lost. Suddenly, a coup killed the dictator and the Ayyubids fell collapsing into about six different kingdoms.
