[b]Story:[/b]
[indent]Sultan Haafil al-Ahmed was born and groomed to the previous ruler of the great province of Al-Andalus. Like any growing lad of the time, he was told who he would marry and how he would act as well as learn how to properly govern the nation when it was his time to lead the people.  

The position would be thrust upon the boy, only fifteen years old at the time for his father was killed while suppressing an uprising. He led his people against two of his neighboring province-kingdoms, quickly annexing them before a target would be painted among him. For years he has decided to maintain the status quo of the area, but strife seems to be stirring through the lands once more and it may be an opportunity to expand his reach further. His sons await for their time to show their father how capable they truly were. Now the year is 1800, it is time for a reconquista of the old lands.[/indent]

[b]Beliefs:[/b]
[indent]Sultan Haafil believes that one should never go to war when their neighbors are at the height of their power and, instead, pick battles when those people are at their weakest point or distracted with some other war. He believes that the only way to victory is by fighting dirty and this has led to some unpopular biased towards him by other countries. This sultan does not crave glory, instead fighting to expand his own hold and reform the old Empire like so many others around him are doing.[/indent]

[b]History:[/b] 
[indent]The history of Al-Andalus is a long and complex one, at first many centuries ago, it belonged to a much larger nation as a province. In this period of Morasaar control, everyone prospered until an economic collapse occurred in the year 1345 which brought with it civil strife and a now fractured state. Al-Andalus was, in fact, the last of the nations to declare independence from the great power in the year 1421 where they continued to reign as a sovereign state, going to war and taking land before inevitably losing that land in the next war then the next. Point being, up until the reign of Sultan Haafil, the nation had known nothing but war and the reformation of the empire. 

Under Sultan Haafil’s reign, they managed to annex to provinces and, low and behold, they were kept within the folds of the Kingdom as Haafil refused to declare any wars after that for a long while. While other states fought for control of the peninsula, Al-Andalus waited for the perfect opportunity to strike out into the place that was their home, filled with brothers and sisters who wished only to destroy each other. Now, in 1800, it is time to strike against them and bring them back into the folds of the empire! For the Sultan’s wishes may become true.[/indent]
