The Kingdom of Makuria, A.D. 1174 Summer
A land steeped in ancient tradition and presence, Makuria had converted to Christendom but a few decades before the arrival of Islam, yet so brief a moment of connection with Christian Byzantium and Egypt has not led to their faith to waiver. On the contrary, in the face of the Caliphate's armies it was only in Nubia where at the Battle of Dongola in 652 AD, the Arabs suffered their only major defeat in the first century of Islamic Expansion. Truly, facing a reality of being surrounded on all but one side by Muslim powers, the resolve in their faith and sovereignty has been strengthened. The Kingdom of Makuria does not stand alone as a Christian Power of Africa, having merged with the kingdom of Nobatia in the north, and holding a strong kinship with Alwa in the south of the Sudan, and powerful Abyssinia even further south.While the Islamic world experienced upheaval and disruption by the rise and fall of successors to the fracturing Caliphate, the Makurians experienced a prosperous and stable growth, becoming the one who would interfere in the affairs of their neighbors instead of the other way around. Rumours abound of a Nubian army sacking Cairo in the eight century to defend their Coptic Brethren, who had looked to the Nubians for protection. Such a golden age continued for the Makurians even as the waters of the Nile were calmed, and the Fatimids came to rule. Truly, the enemy of an enemy was a friend, and for a Shi'ite Dynasty seen as the heretics by their fellow Muslims, African Christians would have seemed as close to their faith as the Sunni Dynasties which saw Egypt as Infidels to Overthrow.But the warm relations of Makuria and Egypt would come to an end with the fall of it’s Shi’ite Dynasty at the hands of Saladin and his Uncle Shirkuh in 1171. With strong intent to oust the Christian Franks from the Holy Lands, it would come as little surprise that the eyes of Saladin and the newly born Ayyubid Dynasty look with suspicion upon a kingdom friendly to its two greatest foes. As the last vestiges of the Fatimids vanish with the death of their Caliph in 1171, it has come to be a question not of if the Ayyubids shall face the Makurians but when.Once more do the waves of Islam crash upon the shore of East Africa, and once more are the Makurians upon the vanguard of the defenders, assuming their historical destiny as the sentinel of Nubia and Abyssinia. Never has a kingdom of Nubia or lands further south ever extended into Asia, yet never were the Arabs in the first hundred years of Islamic Expansion beaten in a major battle save for when they fought the Makurians.
非洲馬庫裡亞王國, 公元 1174 夏
馬庫裡亞是一個獨立王國,位於今天的蘇丹共和國北部和埃及南部。努比亞人和施特人一直主宰著該王國。馬庫裡亞原本涵蓋面積是順沿尼羅河的。她也有龐大的貿易路線,從東部礦山到西部綠洲。它的首都一直是棟古拉。在公元六世紀,她已皈依了基督教。但在公元七世紀,摩爾和埃及的穆斯林阻斷努比亞與其餘的基督教國家聯繫。在651年,穆斯林軍隊入侵,但被擊退。並簽署稱之為「baqt」的一個條約,創造了一個相對和平的外交關係,這一直延續到了13世紀。13世紀開始,馬庫裡亞開始擴大,被稱為「馬庫裡亞黃金時代」。但是由於國家急速膨脹,使之引來鄰國埃及的侵略。在14世紀,馬庫裡亞內部發生大規模動蕩,這直接導致國家政權的崩潰,被鄰國瓜分。
