Description

Around the Mediterranean lie 4 great powers in 814 AD. From West to East we have :
- The Emirate of Corduba, ruled by the Umayyads. The Umayyads were a great family who once reigned over the entire Muslim world. Until came the Abbasids...
- The Carolingian Empire, ruled by Charles I. The emperor is dead. His son Louis is about to succeed him. The kingdom of the Franks has expanded a lot under the Great Charles !
- The Roman Empire, ruled by Leo V. A peace treaty is going to be signed between Constantinople and the Bulgarians. Iconoclasm is restored. The situation is stabilized for now...
- The Abbasid Caliphate, ruled by Abu al-Abbas al-Mamûn. His reign has just begun. Revolts are already spreading...

What a great idea to present them all together! It really puts things in context! Awesome! :) Perhaps you could add the Bulgarians as well at some point...though I guess the Bulgarian "Golden Age" is a bit later...Also I'm really lookng forward to the cities as well, I think it would be fascinating to see where the major urban centres were.
