A Plea from the West

An embassy from Target Gra Country has reached our Court Title, worn from the long crossing. They speak for the last Muslim throne of the far west, hard pressed by the Christian crowns, and they ask what aid the keeper of the holy cities will send. An ocean lies between us and their war, and our own borders are never quiet for long. Still, the eyes of the faithful are upon us, and how we answer Target Gra Ruler will not soon be forgotten.

historical_info = battle_for_the_strait_events.55.historical_info As Castile pressed Granada in the mid-fourteenth century, the Nasrid court sent embassies across the Mediterranean to Cairo, seat of the Mamluk sultanate, custodians of Mecca and Medina and hosts of the shadow Abbasid caliph. They were the natural address for any appeal made in the name of Sunni Islam.

The Mamluks, hemmed by their own frontiers and an ocean away, sent no armies. They answered with prayers for victory and warm words of brotherhood. Ibn al-Khatib preserved this correspondence between Granada and Cairo in his collection of letters, the Rayḥānat al-Kuttāb.
