Cardamom Dreams: An Introduction

A land of many nations and cultures, each hugely varied and containing their own little, diverse systems.



In the south, a resistant Vijayanagar continues to hold out against the tide of Muslim invasion; its kings resolute in guarding its independence, all the while oblivious to nobles scheming in the court.


The Deccan remains home to a vast number of Shi'a Sultanates, each one possessing different goals and priorities concerning their kingdoms.


The west sees the Sultanate of Gujarat, a haven for the Afghan ruling elite....standing alone in this role.


In the east, minor kingdoms continue to hold out in the face of a grim fate, long after the fall of Bengal.


The Rajputs continue to feud between themselves in the northwest; the Rathores and Sisodias undecided on their fate, as Pratap Singh continues to wage a war to conquer the entire country.


On the ocean, a kingdom from a faraway land begins to get comfortable in various ports around the subcontinent, as they become a massive force on the seas of India.


And the north, where the Turkic Empire born from a Tiger and killer of another continues to prosper, stretching from the cool, mountainous cities of Afghanistan, to the dry, almost arid Delhi and beyond.


A land of kings. A land of diversity. A land of culture. A land of conflict.


Completely untamed, unstable and on the brink of war...welcome to India, 1562.
