3 years ago - Reworked the starting political map and lore for Iran o Iran is now divided between the Shaki Khanate, the Shekhbizin Empire, the Kar-Kiya and the Timurtash Timurtash Dynasty: The remnants of the last dynasty to unite all of Iran after the splintering of the Timurid Empire. A Persianized Sunni dynasty of Khorasani-Turkmen origin, their long-standing rivalry with the Ottoman Empire over the Caucasus proved to be their undoing. The catastrophic loss of the Caucasian regions in the late 18th Century precipitated its collapse Shaki Khanate: A Turkoman polity that came to dominate the Southern Caucasus after the collapse of Ottoman authority in the region Shekhbizin Empire: The largest state to emerge from the Timurtash collapse, the Shekhbizin started as a Lurish tribe that came to dominate most of Southern Iran, including the key citites of Isfahan and Shiraz Kar-Kiya: A venerable Shia dynasty with its powerbase in Gilan-Mazandaran. Originally a vassal under the Timurtash Empire, following a series of humiliating defeats against the Ottomans they started a rebellion against the Sunni Timurtash o Re-worked pops in Iran.
