The Ancestors of Teműjin: A Chagatai Khanate AAR
This is my first AAR so don’t be too harsh, just trying to have some fun. Now to cut to the meat I decided to try the Chagatai Khanate because I am getting sick of playing as European nations. I chose this nation over Mali, Navajo, and the Incan Empire.
I will be playing In Nomine with the Total World Mod.
Here are the options. (I chose to change lucky nations from historical to random to give this History an entirely new spin)
Chapter 1: Rediscovery of a Forgotten History
“The title Khan means in our language ‘Great Lord of Lords’. And certainly he has a right to this title… He is indeed the greatest lord the world has ever known.” – Marco Polo, The Travels of Marco Polo, 1298
“In military exercises I am always in front and in time of battle I am never behind.” – Genghis Khan, 1224
On October 14th, 1399 Khan Shams-I-Jahan moved into that which would now be his, the Great Palace at Moghulistan, a place of great history passed from one ruler to the next for several hundred years. As a first order of business he made sure the political position of his country was in order:
All seemed to be as he saw fit and he continued on to the Hall of Khans where an advisor was presented to him. Abd Al-Karim Altan Ula was immediately hired to serve as the mind of the Khan on days where he was not able to do his duty.
The Khan knew his place in the world and those around him feared his presence. To the North lay the Kazakh nation, to the West the great Timurid Empire, brothers in our just cause. To the south lay the infidels of Kashmir and Delhi, nations that would soon come to tremble under our might. In the east lay lands long forgotten, a place where our ancestors rode but that has been long since lost from scriptures.
“The mighty look to the west, into the rich nations of Europe and the open coast of the Mediterranean, we will succeed where our ancestors failed,” said the Great Khan as he entered the hall and the doors were shut behind him.
