Daryus-e Qabir was the Sultan of all Araby in the 16th century.[1a]
Around 1,000 years ago (in the year 1500 IC, by Old World reckoning), Sultan Daryus-e Qabir launched a series of religious wars against the Old World in the lands of Tilea and Estalia,[1a][3a] without any lasting successes. Legends dating from this time have coloured Old World attitudes to inhabitants of Araby.[1a][Note 1]
After his defeat Araby lost even his control on the island of Sartosa, reconquered by the Prince of Luccini, Luciano Catena in 1501 IC.[2a]
Notes[]
- Note 1: There is a possibility that Daryus-e Qabir and his crusade towards the Old World were the original ideas that later inspired the character of Sultan Jaffar and the Great Crusade Against Araby. Despite this possibility, the character of Daryus-e Qabir does not generate canon conflicts in the Warhammer lore, but instead integrates perfectly into the post-third edition narrative.
