The Second Coalition War (80-98 EH) was fought 265 years after the conclusion of the First Coalition War.

Due to the the unification of Upper Empyrea into the Umbracresti-Estrinite-Glacian-Narcissian Archregion (UEGNA) under Archcountess-Khatun Vega Calliope Ego by marriage, inheritance and alliances, the other regions dissolved UEGNA seats on CEDA and formed the Cerulean-Vorantine-Aqulio-Pheasantine Union (CVAPU) in response.

After Vega abdicated in 78 EH, her twenty year son is crowned Archcount-Khagan Urlic IV & I Ego-Estrin-Romanakov of Umbracrest, Estrin, Glacier and Narciss. Urlic is more aggressive than his mother and the other regions declare war on the Archregion....

Journey into the spellbinding world of Tilsim Hoshruba, a realm divided into three enigmatic regions, each brimming with magic, danger, and untold stories. In Tilsim Zahir, mortals and sorcerers live side by side, while in Tilsim Batin, the elite sorcerers and nobles hold sway over ancient secrets. But beyond them lies Tilsim Zulumat, where only the Sorcerer Emperor Afrasiyab and his kin—a witch, a sorceress, and other ancient beings—can tread. Here, the deadly Chamber of the Seven Awful Ones waits, hidden from mortal eyes but capable of unleashing destruction upon the entire realm.

In a land where gods such as Sameri, Laat, Mannat, and Jamshed are worshipped, an ancient prophecy foretells the coming of a son of Adam who will conquer Tilsim Hoshruba and bring an end to the tyranny of the Sorcerer Emperor Afrasiyab. Witches, warlocks, sorcerers, and sorceresses of royal blood and noble lineage vie for power within this enchanted realm, which stretches across vast kingdoms and mysterious lands.

Amidst this, beyond the borders of Tilsim Hoshruba, the legendary warrior Amir Hamzeh arrives in the kingdom of Koe Ateeq to confront Laqa, a self-proclaimed god who has taken refuge there. In an act of desperation, Laqa's advisor Bakhtiyar summons Afrasiyab's aid, leading the Sorcerer Emperor to send his arcane warrior Ejlaal to Laqa's side. But fate twists unexpectedly, and Ejlaal finds himself siding with Amir Hamzeh instead.

Meanwhile, Prince Badiuzzaman, the son of Amir Hamzeh, is captured by Queen Shararah, a sorceress queen of Tilsim Hoshruba, during a hunting expedition. Enraged, Amir Hamzeh resolves to invade Tilsim Hoshruba but learns through an ancient tome of Hamas that only his daughter's son, Prince Assad, can conquer the realm. With the trickster Umro Ayyar—Amir Hamzeh's childhood friend and master of disguise—by his side, Prince Assad sets out on a perilous quest to rescue Badiuzzaman and overthrow Afrasiyab.

As Umro Ayyar navigates the treacherous paths of Tilsim Hoshruba with his wit, trickery, and magical bag, Prince Assad faces danger head-on with the legendary Sword of Solomon. Yet, amidst these trials, fate brings him face-to-face with a mysterious figure whose deep blue eyes ignite a forbidden love—one that is as dangerous as it is irresistible.

In this first volume of an epic fantasy series, readers will be drawn into a world where ancient deities like Sameri, Laat, Mannat, and Jamshed are revered as gods, where magic is the fabric of reality, and where love, loyalty, and courage are tested against the forces of darkness. *The Legend of Tilsim Hoshruba* invites you to step into an enchanted realm where destinies are forged in the crucible of magic and adventure. Prepare to be captivated by a tale that will leave you yearning for more.

I had the idea for this story many years ago, it all began with an OC I used for casual roleplaying. Then the story for this character remained kicking around in my head for many, many years and underwent a lot of changes and adjustments before reaching its current state.

I took a lot of inspiration from different kinds of books, but the one book that finally helped me actually get anything written was The Chronicles of Narnia.
