The Phoenix Caliphate

The caliphate was always present as a religious branch in the deserts of the Southland's and was controlled by the Eidelkan Empire til about 832 A.D. During the year 832 the caliph at the time, Iza- Bin-Isal was threatened by the for some rather "outspoken" words against his administration. Iza took these words harshly.

The Temple Of the Phoenix called upon its sister temple, the Unending, for aid. The Unending sent war clerics, paladins and weapons of all manners to face the oncoming Eidelkan Legions.

Many men joined the Caliph's armies, the unprecedented zeal leading to the second largest army in recorded history being levied, the first being the oncoming Eidelkan legions.

The fate of Eidelko and the new found Caliphate would be decided in 'The Battle of Badun Point'. Iza took to the field, inspiring his men with holy scriptures, as well as clerics of Helm, the god of protection, blessing the warriors. Meanwhile, the opposing Eidelkan force had just completed a month ling forced march. With Iza's superb strategy, the Eidelkan's were soundly defeated. Thus, two marks are left in the books of history.

The 'Battle of Badun Point' marked the rise of the Phoenix Caliphate, and is generally considered the start of the collapse of the Eidelkan Empire.
