The Sun and the Lion

The Timur Empire fell apart, the Ottomans were struggling to expand, and the Europeans had opened up new routes, and decades had passed since Tumu Fortress. On the Iranian plateau, the former Persian Empire has long since turned into ashes. Now the Aries Dynasty and the relics of Timur have divided the plateau. Earlier, the Mongols, Turks and Saracens either conquered the entire plateau, or Divide the plateau from other regimes. But in the mountains of Azerbaijan, in an obscure town of Ardabil, an empire that would rule the entire Greater Persia and even more territories would be born here, playing its own music at the crossroads of the old world.
