 * Wars and Conflicts:
 * Kalachuri War: With Barigaza liberated, the bulk of the Sinkhara army in the west is ordered to turn east, towards Ujjain and Dhar. Meanwhile, the main Sinkhara western army is ordered to push south and west, towards Gwalior and Bharhut. This "pincer" tactic is to try to cut as many Kalachuri supply lines as possible, and starve the Kalachuri Army out in scorched-out farmlands (courtesy of the earlier scorched-earth policy). Remaining army regiments tackling the Kalachuri advance head-on are to try and defend key cities and strategic locations (e.g Delhi, Sagala), as well as torch any potentially useable farmland around the Kalachuri army. Civilians are encouraged to head out of the war zone as soon as possible, and head for the core of the Sinkhara nation in the Indus Valley, in order to avoid their deaths either by invading army or by scorched-earth tactics.
 * Events:
 * Missionary Work, part 69493838787387879487987942: With much of our territory lost to invading forces, missionary work is directed mainly overseas. Our missionaries continue spreading the Arzhist faith in the steppe hordes to our north (with a high concentration of missionaries especially in the Dzungar and Tochar Khaganates), as well as to the south, amongst the Kushites and Oromi of Somalistan.
 * The ORIA: In old age, the once-hotheaded Azarkh Rahman began to mellow, and take interest in literature, arts, and sciences. During the early 12th century, he would personally fund many scientists, authors, and philosophers personally out of his own treasury. His newfound love for the intellectual side of life would see him founding the Organization for the Recollection of the Ideas of Arzham, or ORIA, in 1117. The ORIA would later grow to become one of the leading scientific societies of medieval and early modern India, as well as the greater Arzhamite world.
 * Expansion of the Somalistan Charter (again): Further expansion of the Somalistan Charter would continue, as many merchants, traders, and explorers, many from decimated villages and towns in the east looking for a new life, would brave the long journey across the sea to Hawiyabad, for a chance at gaining wealth or fame, exploring the deserts and savannahs of Africa, or simply escaping their old, miserable lives.
