Over a thousand years of chaos and struggle have gone by since the fall of Kush. Blood has been shed, dynasties have fallen and tears have endlessly watered the shores of the life-giving Nile. However, the Nubians have grown strong through the hardships, and now stand united in faith and hope. Since the Nubians accepted the one true God five hundred years ago, the Lord has granted them nothing but strength and prosperity. Trade has grown and all corners of the known world now connect through Nubia. The Arabs, misguided in faith but mighty in arms, met such fierce resistance from the united kingdoms of Makuria and Nobatia that the seemingly unstoppable tidal wave of Islam was pushed back. The price was steep, however - the baqt was signed, where Nubians were pledged to send slaves to the muslim rulers of Egypt. The humiliation of this peace would not last. In 1066, with the Fatimids losing all of their land north of the Sahara and west of Egypt, and with the Shiite rulers isolated from most of the muslim world, the ruling class of Nubia was reminded of the blood they shared with the kings of old. It was true that Kush had once ruled from the Blue and White Nile all the way to the Mediterranean Delta. How fearsome the ruler of a united Nubia must be, when his ancestors had conquered all of Egypt and fought back the Blemmyes and the Beja! How awesome the ruler must be, when he stands at the edge of Aswan, knowing that Islam was never allowed to pass this point! Behold the glory of the true King of all the Nile, chosen by the Lord Himself to lead his people to victory:
He is.. Well, he is, err, a bald guy with no friends and a tendency to solve diplomatic conflicts by hurling blunt objects.
Crap.
