Dār aṣ-Ṣaqāliba

saqaliba_barracks_advance

The old Cordoban caliphs kept a guard of Ṣaqāliba, slave-soldiers conditioned to answer to the throne alone. We revive that institution by founding the Dār aṣ-Ṣaqāliba, the House of Slaves, where such men are bought, armed, and drilled. Its arsenals match any armory of the realm, yet draw upon a wholly different resource, and from its musters the royal household gains a standing corps loyal to us before any clan or city.
