Adventures From the Ottoman Empire:
The Sultan had had enough of being peaceful and contemplating things, he needed to kill some infidels and heathen to ensure a top spot in heaven and with it all those lovely virgins.
And so war was declared upon the Persians, men of heresy and goat loving disposition and victory seemed assured until 60,000 persians marched into Dulkadir to take up defensive positions on the mountains behind a river guarding the only route into Persia. I can tell you that the Sultan was quite angry that day, promises to convert to buddism if those men died were the least offensive that I heard.
Happily for all the palace servants the Persians decided to attack us, crossing their own defensive river to meet our heavily superior cavarly army in plains. By allah's glory we were granted victory and thousands of heathen corpses ensured that the mountain folk would not go hungry that winter.
After this victory was swift and bloody as the causcaus's and Baghdad were ceded to the happ Sultan. His dances when that was offered were a sight to behold, I never knew a man of the sultans *cough*size*cough* could do so many backflips.
Elsewhere the Armenian's felt the wrath of our armies and were annexed, Georgia and Ak Konylu were vassalised and Astrakhan saved from the marauding Muscovites by our brave janissaries, and Crimean muslims set free of their orthodox christian oppresors.
Peace when it came was brief and soon enough Persia was attacked again, Mosul and Kerbala falling to us. Bosnia had been annexed and peace was present once more. Elsewhere conversions had gone very well with many new converts to pay donation to the mosques, although to be fair those donations are lower than the Christian-Scum-Tax that is also implemented.
Cordial relations were set up with more infidel filth thanks to the diplomatic corps comprimised entirely of women, who seem not to share my Sultan's hatred of infidels and also have certain physical attributes that endear them to the weak and decadent infidels.
The mameluks were annexed by us in the infidel year of 1510 with much rejoicing as more slave-warriors were added to our ranks. A masterful campaign by the Sultan involved precise planning and time awareness the likes of which had never been seen before. The Venetians had the guts to ask for Venice, something that made us laugh in their faces, yet such bravery was to be rewarded and the Sultan gave the Venetian's 60 new galleys as a gift.
Finally the Sultan ordered the declaration of war upon the Hungarians whilst their suzerain's were off fighting in France, losing as the case turned out to be. The war was sharp and painless, well for us-the hungarians probably disagreed. The ports of Krain and somewhere else and Vesperzyn were added to our realm, followed by immediate conversions of 2 of them with precipated much rejoicing amongst the Sultan.
However all that rejoicing killed him and a new Sultan was dug up, called Selim the Grim by many I found him a delightful leader, always ready to play a practical joke or sing a naughty limerick. Still anything that scares the fearful infidels is a good thing, something he has remarked upon many times.
