 * Wars and Conflicts:
 * Thanesar War: With the conflict against Valabhi won, the majority of our troops are sent to the front lines to the east. Orders are given to push towards the city of Mathura, and again, looting is to be discouraged, only allowed in the event of severed supply lines. A dead infidel only goes to Hell, a living infidel may yet still see the light of Allah.
 * Events:
 * Establishment of the Somalistan Charter: After scouting the coast of Arabia and East Africa, we decide to become more active in trade in that region. A trading post is founded in an area called Somalistan, as it is roughly halfway between the Arabian Peninsula and the coasts of East Africa, as well as relatively close to the main Sinkhara port at Patalena. A small town, Hawiyabad (otl Hobyo, Somalia), is founded, serving as the base of operations for the nascent Somalistan Charter. Although it houses barely 150 people for now, only time will tell as to whether it prospers.
 * Ser Heroik of the East: Confronted with news of the rising Ser Heroik and his Azarkhate of Rum, the newly-coronated, young and headstrong Azarkh Rahman aspires to achieve glory greater than even the great conquerer of the Greeks. His reign would see continued military campaigns into India, as he himself styled himself "Ser Heroik of the East".
 * Missionary Work: The Azarkh, being a pious man, personally funds several missionary trips, as well as focuses the government's resources more heavily into spreading the word of Allah. Missionaries are sent into heathen towns and villages under our countrol, as well as abroad, into the other Indian kingdoms, and even to the various steppe peoples of the north via Tsangat. A small contingent of 15 imams was part of the founding of Hawiyabad and the Somalistan Charter, preaching the Quran to the native peoples of the region.
