National Introduction:

The ruler of the Salander Sultanate was the Hakim Sultan, and their symbolic animal was the eagle. The national flag color is an eagle on a yellow background. National proverb: Insults cannot make the enemy retreat, and struggle can drive the enemy away.

The Salanders are the masters of the 'Salander Desert' region in the southern part of the Calradia continent. The contender for the throne is Alva the 'Pearl Light'.

Alva was very beautiful when he was young, although he was born as a slave, but he was favored by the old Sultan of Salander, Aizal, after the death of Aizal, the country was ownerless, so the nobles elected the chief of Baibak to take care of state affairs, and the chief of Baibak married the old sultan's favorite concubine 'Pearl Light' Alva.

Under their rule, Salander's power grew stronger, the booming economy attracted the coveted wolves, and the Kujit began to enter the desert to raid caravans, all with the support of Gerak Khan.

After a long period of unsuccessful negotiations, a formal military clash finally broke out between the two countries, and Chief Baibak was tragically killed in an encounter. After the death of Chief Baibak, the nephew of the old Sultan Ezhar, Hakim, drove Alva out of Salander and became the new Sultan himself.

According to Hakim, although Alva was the wife of Aizal, he was still having an affair with Baibak, and Alva was also involved in state politics, and was even preparing to serve as sultan and rule Salander.

As mentioned earlier, the aristocracy was often very divided on whether women could rule a country, and at that time, Salander and Kugit had been at war, and Alva, as a woman, had much knowledge of war, so Hakim's approach should be tacitly approved by many nobles at that time.

The rulers of the Salander were called sultans, and the local lords were called chiefs, and each chief had a separate palace and army. The lords of Salander were very united compared to the lords of other countries. If you want to go to war, you basically rush to the front.

During the reign of Drake the Great, the greatest conqueror in the history of the Karad Empire, he organized several expeditions to Saland, but each time he failed to return. It was not until the Battle of the Menaye Desert, when the exhausted two sides signed a trade agreement, that the so-called war against the infidels came to an end.

To this day, even in the library of the Royal Knight Academy in Suno, there is no complete documentary record of the origin of the Salander Sultanate, and only various legends can be heard from traveling merchants and bards.

No one can tell the ancestors of the Salander people and their history, and the ancient Salander civilization is said to have existed years ago, much longer than the ancient Karand Empire. Some say that the heart of the desert is buried with countless treasures, but few dare to plunder their wealth.

The vast desert in the southeast, dotted with several oases, on the basis of which the Salander people have survived on this land for far too long. Slavery made freedom difficult, and the Salander Legion, which consisted of half-slaves and half-soldiers, was a force to be reckoned with in its desire for freedom.

The barrenness of the country united the lords of the country, and the wise Sultan was loved by the people. Several times of fighting off an invading enemy made the Salanders understand that the fruits of victory were not only up to themselves, but also to their companions.

The Salanders, like the Virgians, had a very balanced army. However, the two were different in their strengths, with the Vigians represented by archers and the Salanders represented by Mamluk heavy cavalry.

Militarily, the heavy cavalry Mamluks of the Salander Sultanate were famous all over the world. The Mamluk cavalry of Salander was unstoppable like a steel devil galloping across the desert, and even the knights of Svadia could match it.

Although Salander's military is more comprehensive, the other branches of the country are not very effective. Due to the excessive strength of his Mamluks, the importance of Salander's archers and infantry was relatively reduced.

The slave cavalry Mamluks, who were the best of those slaves, were the heavily-armored cavalry of the most skilled slave scimitars, and the proportion of each legion even reached one-fifth.

These powerful cavalrymen, who were uniformly equipped by the state, only needed a small subsidy to escape the status of slaves, and they could die on the battlefield.

Salander's infantry were much weaker than the cavalry, and their thin armor and slender bamboo spears made them difficult to deal with the cavalry. That's why Salander's archers have the thickest armor of any ranged class and skilful melee abilities.

After all, it is located in a flat desert, and it is impossible for your own cavalry to completely stop the cavalry on the opposite side, and the infantry is not powerful, so you can only rely on yourself, and the range of the longbow also ensures that you can shoot a few more waves of arrows before being outflanked by the cavalry.

Jerak Khan wanted to cross the Gobi and cross the desert to conquer Saland, but a Kugit expeditionary force of nearly 20,000 men led by Pakuratunayan mysteriously disappeared into the long sea of sand, and even the bones could not be found.

The country is home to many desert bandits on horseback and javelins, and the land is barren and the villages are unsustainable. Salander is the third least safe country on the entire continent. The second is the snowy bandits of Virgia, and the first is the ringing horses of the country of Kugit Khan.

The Sultanate of Salander is located in the southern part of the continent on the Karadia continent, bordering the Principality of Rhodok on the western coast, and the northern part is separated by continuous mountains between Salander and the Kugit Khanate, and is only connected by mountain passes in the central part of the country and the northeast of the Fort of Sharava.

The Salander Sultanate is located in a desert region with relatively harsh natural conditions, and the country's main economic zone is an oasis in the sand sea. Abundant sunlight in the desert is very conducive to the growth of crops, but water is the most important resource.

But the industrious people of Salander were not intimidated by the harsh environment, and high-quality wines, abundant iron ore, fine cloth, open-pit salt mines and other resources supported the straight backbone of this nation. When night comes, a sip of barbecue and a glass of wine, followed by a burst of cheerful singing and dancing, the brightly dressed Salanders never complain.

The country was also rich in precious stones and rare metals, so peaceful trade was of paramount importance to the Sultanate of Saland.

The wealthy and powerful Sultanate of Salander has recently extended its territory to the borders of the steppe, and has built a magnificent new capital [Sharitz] on the bay adjacent to Rhodok, and has also built the most luxurious tavern on the continent - the Pearl Hotel of Saland.

The great merchants of Salander said that the beds were made of pure gold and ivory, that the floor was covered with bright velvet carpets, that the dome was inlaid with precious stones, that the fountains were spewing fine wine, and that dozens of bewitching Salander girls were waiting for their guests with tenderness, as if they had ascended to heaven.

The royal palaces of Suno, Parabun, could not compare to the luxury of the Pearl of Saland, and only the wealthy merchants could afford to live there.

The hinterland of the Salander Sultanate is a vast desert. The scattered oases in the desert are the main settlements of the people of this country. Castles, villages, and towns are built on or adjacent to these oases. It has four large cities: Sharitz, Dukuba, Amerad, and Barryya.

Shariz is located on a large oasis on the western coast of the Salander Sultanate. The sea route here is convenient, the sun is abundant, and the water is abundant. For hundreds of years, it has been an important economic and cultural center, not only for Salander, but also for the whole of Calradia.

The city of Sharez was a thriving place for trade, and it was here that Salander's gems and pearls flowed into the interior of Calradia. The city has a permanent population of more than 100,000 people, and the most famous building is the court of the Sultan of Salander.

The central part of the entire oasis is Dukuba Lake, and the desert commercial town Dukuba City is built on the lake. From west to east, at each end of the city of Dukuba are large and densely populated and economically developed villages: Shiba-Zumo and Tanum. Life in the oasis is generally comfortable and pleasant.

The pastures around Lake Dukuba were the most important livestock base of the Salander Sultanate, which was not only rich in the famous lamb sausages, but also a breeding ground for the Salander desert horses, which produced excellent military horses due to their good endurance and toughness. The Mamluks, one of the most powerful hoplites on the mainland, were all the best desert horses.

The city of Amerad is known for its smelting and metalware-making. The vast majority of Salander's weapons are produced here. The Amerad region does not have much of an oasis, and agriculture and animal husbandry are not well developed. However, it was the industrial center of the Salander Sultanate.

The smelting techniques of Amerad City are so advanced that it can even be used to calcine steel of great strength and hardness, and the elite scimitars forged from this steel are extremely sharp, cutting gold and jade (see Damascus scimitars).

It is also home to one of the best craftsmen in the entire continent of Calradia, where almost all of the best jewelry trade unions are located, and the jewelry produced here is a luxury item for the aristocracy to compete with each other. The village of Maviti, in the mountains northwest of Amerad, is an important iron ore mineral.

The Barrière region is a large oasis with the largest lake in Salander, Lake Barrière, and the most important grain producer in Salander, producing grapes, olives, date meat and cabbage. The area is mainly made up of three parts: the town of Barryeh, the town of Chibay and the town of Faisala.

To the east and south of Barriya is to the end of the continent of Calradia, and to the east and south is the boundless desert, known as the Sea of Death, because no one can cross it alive, so there is no way to know what is on the other side of the desert.

Mamluks:

Known as the 'Blade of Allah', the Mamluks originally meant "slaves" and were also translated as "Mamluks".

Non-Muslim nomads, mostly from the interior of Calradia, were caught by slave traders and sold to the Salander region, where they were then organized into mercenaries by the sultans.

For a monarch, a strong and obedient army is undoubtedly the best choice, if you can't have both, then an obedient but not strong army is acceptable, and a strong but disobedient army is absolutely unacceptable!

The Mamluks were slaves, often non-Muslims, had no tribal background within the empire, and had a lowly status, leaving the monarch with nothing, so they were very loyal to the monarch, and in the event of war, they were often more handy tools than their own national army.

During Drake the Great's southern expedition to Salander, the Mamluks first told the Swadia knights that they still had opponents. In the desert, the Mamluks and Svadia knights were evenly divided. The sword in his hand was stained with the blood of the invaders, and the eyes under the veil shone with the light of a saint.

After Hakim became the Sultan, he vigorously developed his military power. The Mamluks gradually replaced their own army as the main force of the dynasty. The Blade of Allah may soon appear on the plains of the continent of Calradia.
