Araby (WAR Lore)
Araby corresponds to the real world near east and middle east. Much of its history is based on the mythology of the Arabian nights.
Little background attention has been given to Araby compared to the Old World. Its sultans are said to wealthier than Dwarfs and its cities rich in spices, gold and slaves which are traded with the Empire and Norsca. The principle cities of Araby are Lahiek, Corsair city; Copher, the Spirit Port; Martek; and WAR Zone:Al-Haikk, the City of Thieves. The cities are nestled on the coast of the continent, the center being dominated by the Great Desert of Araby where nomads dwell.
The early years of Araby's history are not well documented, but it is known that it suffered invasions from the Land of the Dead after the fall of the Khemri civilization at the hands of Nagash.
In the Imperial year 1448 the Skaven convinced Sultan Jaffar, a powerful sorcerer, to invade Estalia, sparking 200 years of conflict and crusades between The Old World and Araby, and initiating the foundation of the Imperial Knights Panther (among other knightly orders).
