Al-Mahdi Calls Upon you!

Al-Mahdi Auda Kharadeen would walk out meeting the crowds face in the musjid

 “Oh my people! 

Today im here to declare an official jihad upon the Dwarven invaders.

We have all met the aggression towards us and Empire but do not let this discourage you for Allah surely rewards those who are steadfast, Oh my People Jihad is a benefit to us all especially to those who are being oppressed by the dwarven regime.

We have wandered the world and seen much injustice and much suffering at the hands of the dwarven infidels! Therefore we are to do as our Holy Book instructs us to do!

 I call on all mumineen to rise up! I call on you to Jihad against the Injustice and cruelty the dwarves done to the world! Oh people does not matter your skin color nor your race or your gender for we have been given a duty to take care of ourselves and help others in need and protect ourselves! This should not stop with just us Muminmeen but with Canonist, and other faiths of this dunya!

In our holy Jihad we are to fight to help defend the lands of righteousness and honor,
Allah says in the Kitab Al-Salaam on chapter 14

‘Jihad is one of the Greatest things a creation of Allah can do.’
Allah says here very clearly! Jihad one of the greatest things you can do for the sake of Allah!

Allah ALSO says ‘We have then Given you the Jihad Of the Body. Jihad is declared upon these things. If you have been driven from your home unjustly, If you have been invaded, If one tries to destroy Your faith, To fight the Tyrants, to fight injustice, and to fight those who worship false gods, If they are of those who harm mankind, to fight those who oppress, and to help the oppressed.’

The Dwarves have come now and invaded! They have brought injustice and cruelty to the empire! They worship Idols and false gods and put partnership with Allah! They oppress the weak and needy for the greed of gold and silver!

Allah says here he promises me and you! ‘ Indeed Allah Is the most Powerful, So do not forget to Answer upon Jihad for those who fight Jihad and those who died in Jihad are promised the best of homes, the best of wives and husbands, the best of the best, and a spot at the dining table with Allah. They will be given the highest of status and best of things in the seventh skie and they will be cared for personally by Allah himself. Allah Is indeed the best of helpers and the best of gifting.’ Oh mumineen look how beautiful Allah has promised us if we were to become Shaheeds in our jihad! So do not hesitate! Fight for the sake of Allah! 

BUT LO!

Allah has placed upon us rules of Jihad, he instructs us clearly on these matters! Allah Says ‘We have set to you rules for Jihad, So that you may not go and do wrong. Dont cut a tree unless you need to, Do not kill a child, Do not kill old people, Do not destroy places of worship, Do not destroy a building, Do not kill those who have surrendered, Do not kill those who run away(from battle and in general), Do not kill a woman, Do not kill a sick person, Do not kill those dedicated to worship(Ie. Monks and priests), Do not disfigure the dead, Do not kill an animal except for eating, Be good to prisoners and feed them, Do not enforce the faith.’ Allahu Akbar! Look! How just Allah is! Allahu Akbar!

 I call on you oh people of Allah to come to us and prepare for Jihad! Remember Allah said in the Holy book that we have to defend ourselves when being attack by the sword, and to fight those who oppress others.

Those who are listening but not of our faith!

 I call on all races or faith to come join us to help defend the oppressed the weak and to destroy those tyrants who wish to destroy everything we hold dear!

 Let it be known that the farfolks and non farfolks stands against the oppression!

 I ask all of the men and women of not just of the Caliphate but the Empire! Rise up! Join the army! Prepare the swords , prepare the bows, prepare for Allah blessing and promise of the seven skies of which we all yearn for!

 Don't deny yourself this chance for Jannah! Don't stop yourself from earning Allah the greatest pleasure and honor! Yellah prepare! Fight until the Dwarven invaders stop their aggression!

 Martyrdom or victory! Indeed Allah is greatest!”

 Al-Mahdi would attempts to inspire citizens to join the jihad.

Smoke Rises From The Mountain 

Anwar Faheem and his family be dining at the dinner table at the cabin, losing their pepper farm at atlas they to fled the continent with others as the Vael Order marched through Atlas, once again made refugee by undead.

It had been 40 years or so since Anwar Faheem was placed on targeted list from the Sutican since his days as leader of the Amr Al-Suqur, little did him and his family knew that a reckoning had came. With what seems to them fenns and suticans alike that stormed the cabin at the dead of night. Almost all 26 family members of Anwar was killed or burned alive, only 3 of the Anwar children escaped the slaughter, and they watch from the distance their cabin burning and it smoke that filled the sky's.

The remaining 3 make their way to their fathers old beloved nation, to the great and mighty kingdom of heanse, they remember the stories they heard of stonewall Otto and how they help others even though it endangered themselves, the comrade he told of and fought beside. But on the way there they stop frozen in the tracks. A group of men and elves stood around Anwar Faheem. “You have been sentenced to death for waging a terror war, leading of the Amr Al-Suqur, resisting arrest and running from the sutican authority.” the elven man reads from the scroll “last words bastard?” a brute voice is heard from one of the men. “Aye…” Anwar would nod looking up with a faint smile “Long live the Falcon who watches his peoples nest.” He would say with a serious tone before saying “And ye can shove them paper up your ass, ye all are nothing but a bunch wu-” A loud snap would be heard as Anwar body dropped. Anwar would later become ceaseless.

Alas for the old man in the mountains has died
