Persian estate - Qizilbash

[moscal]

One of the most important social-political groups in modern Persia was a Qizilbash. This quasi-military order was a major force in the early stages of a new Persia. Later they was a source of problems and main blocker reform.

IMO - Qizilbash should be as estates.

[Cthetheslayer]

Yes, I think this makes a lot of sense historically, can you supply some events that could fire based upon them?

 

[moscal]

I'm not good in event-conceptor, but can try

Should also have Ghulams

 

[Lysistrata]

Should also have Ghulams

Perhaps there could be some kind of decision to replace the Qizilbash with Ghulams, which requires control of a certain number of Caucasian (culture group) Christian provinces, positive stability, no regency, etc?

 

[Timewalker102]

Maybe all Shia nations could access Qizilbashes?

 

[moscal]

IMO - "Ghulams" better suitable is to iqta factions. Their numbers, and territorial force was too small to manage the provinces to other estates. Ghulams had a strong influence on the court, not in state.

Didn't that change with Abbas the great? He did significantly increase their numbers and give them more and more high ranking positions in the military and over the Qizilibash

I still think they will be better in the system of factions in iqta state. In most cases in history, they were focused on the politics of the court - not provincial politics. Situation in time of Abbas Great was an exception - not general rule.
