Prince Nakan Ossan of Jabba Hal decided to settle in the central lands and chose the kingdom of Argane for the start of his conquest. To clean up this region and establish a bridgehead before his arrival, he hired the most famous but above all the cruelest mercenary in the world of Bicolline, the much-feared Gorgor Baey. The news had a devastating effect on the population of the kingdom of Argane, a wave of panic seized its inhabitants, many of them had already begun to flee to find refuge in the lands of the Kingdom of Andore. Prince Nakan Ossan would have paid a colossal sum to Gorgor Baey for the needs of the cause, the figure of 12,000 solars has been put forward. A gigantic army of mercenaries equipped with several siege engines is gathering along the Bonaguil River north of Argane.

To face such a threat, the kingdom of Argane called on the Castenza mercenary troop, led by General Armand Mc Allister. The entire defense of the territory is based on Fort Pamoise, an advanced post located in the center of an essential parade, an obligatory passage to reach the center of Argane. General Armand Mc Allister has the difficult task of guarding the Pamoise outpost and preventing the invasion of Argane. The king of Argane, Léotaut I, sent emissaries to the neighboring provinces to obtain their support and he gave Armand Mc Allister a very large sum of money.

Today, Emir Jazzaar Hezaam Al-Maqad is given the role of Ambassador of Jabba Hal and representative of the Transcendent Prince Nakkan Ossan in the Argane Liberation campaign. The Beneficent Prince Nakkan Ossan having seen the troops led by Viakta defend freedom and be annihilated by the tyrannical forces of the imperialist lords, His Majesty decided to establish himself in the Central Lands in order to share the Wealth coming from Freedom and of Tolerance, which are virtues acquired in the Land of Sands. He chose the area of Argane for geographical proximity, but above all to take it as an example, since taxes there are three times higher than even in the surrounding monarchical regimes. The Great Prince intends to offer this country freedom from totalitarian oppression, but also economic prosperity through the unparalleled trade possibilities of Jabba Hal, as well as cultural prosperity through the exchange of science and good graces between the 'Argane and the Magnificent City.

His Splendid Majesty also emphasizes that no harm or harm will be done to the good people of Argane, and that his armies will only fight those who raise arms against them. The Salvetier Prince Nakkan Ossan intends to bring freedom and prosperity to the people of Argane, and he has taken the means of a quick and decisive victory to avoid causing them harm. The Exalted Prince is also counting on the enthusiasm of the liberated peoples, who are invited to take up arms against their oppressors. It has happened many times in the past that Jabba Hal's troops were welcomed with open arms by the people they came to liberate, and that these people fought on the side of the Sultan's armies against the monarchs who should have been their protectors. For this represents the very spirit of the Land of Sands; take the weak and the oppressed and make them Strong.

And to those who do not fight for their freedom or for any cause other than their own, he reminds that he paid 12,000 solars to the Horde of Gorghor Beay so that the latter assembles a force capable of realizing the virtuous intentions of his Generous Magnificence.

The Land of Sands is divided into 6 Emirates, three in the east and three in the west, separated by the desert and the inland sea. Each emirate is divided into a number of principalities, the equivalent of "fiefdoms" in the Empire or Andora. The majority of the emirates in the Land of Sands are relatively wealthy, although there are large disparities between rich and poor emirates. Sultan Nakkan Ossan rules the country from the capital, Jabba Hal the Magnificent. The Sultan is the undisputed leader in all areas of life in the Land of Sands.

The Land of Sands has a very particular political system. There is a tradition that the children of enemies are captured to be raised in a special contingent of the army, called the Janissaries. The title of Sultan is not hereditary
upon his death, his successor was chosen from among the Janissaries.

However, this tradition is not always respected and it has happened in the past that the Sultan's son succeeds his father. In addition, the assassination of monarchs and coups d'état are more frequent than in other regions of the world, although the current Sultan Nakkan Ossan reigns in a certain serenity.

1015 - aeadim wujud alshsharaf!

This is what the close advisors of His Serene Highness Nakkan Ossan said when the precious camel arrived in the city. Several years ago, His Highness gave Aljaml, the largest and strongest camel, to Emperor Karl I. Unfortunately, the beast returned to the country in a somewhat lamentable state and a decree of dishonor was pronounced.

The advisors of Emperor Karl I responded that the creature was too frail and too weak to be seen as a worthy gift. It was decreed that the Sultan had to withdraw his remarks and that men would ensure this. An imperial contingent under the command of Ragnarok therefore headed towards the city of sand, the Sultan's defenses awaiting them to protect their sovereign from this threat. (Gift dishonor)

1010 - he Cité des Sables is at the dawn of a new boom, after having experienced, in recent years, a significant wave of new arrivals in Tessali-el-Nail and Annaba-Jabel. This new population base initially created a cultural shock, but also caused strong tensions between the recent arrivals. For several months, the situation has calmed down, even allowing a wind of stability to blow over the region. His serene highness Nakkan Ossan, judged the moment opportune to invite not only the emirs of the City of Sands, but also dignitaries from other regions of the world, to this sumptuous celebration which will be held in Khadîdja, the pearl of the desert. Obviously, this evening will be an opportunity for the Sultan's representatives to announce important news affecting the City of Sands, but also to honor, as the Sultan wished, personalities established in his emirates.

In order to underline his new openness and vision of the world, His Serene Highness Nakkan Ossan intends to mark the spirit of the invited dignitaries, and this in a masterful way. During the evening, the post of Emir of Khadîdja will be given to the one who can demonstrate his or her devotion to the Sultan. To do this, he will have to seduce his guests through rhymes of meshmesh poetry, so dear to the ears of his serene highness. In addition, he must succeed in surprising them with an unusual present.
