- historical map of the khwarezmian empire, around the years 1220-1230 during the rule of jalal-ad-din (he was the latest Shah (=King) of the empire) and shortly before the mongol conquest.

- large map, 12 regions, 65 territories

- the style aims to slightly mimic the persian/muslim art at that time. also remember, mislims read from roght to left.

- the writings that are (probably) more difficult to read are for design purposes and have no gameplay relevance.

- all writings that are relevant to game play are made easier to read (names of territories and regions).

- as much as i understood this political entity wasnt arabic/levantine/semitic. It was persian, indo-european with influences from turkic tribes.
