Overview[]
Afghanistan[]
The Central Asian region now known as Afghanistan has served as a focal point of trans-Eurasian trade for millennia Unfortunately, it has also been the site of conflict for as long of a time. Known as “The Graveyard of Empires,” Afghanistan's critical location has made it a sought-after territory, but one that has been successfully resistant to some imperial ventures. Ethnically and linguistically diverse. Afghanistan is a melting pot of cultures, resulting in a strong national literary tradition.
Ahmad Shah Durrani[]
Ahmad Shāh Durrani, also known as Ahmad Khan Abdali, was the founder of the Durrani Empire and is regarded as the founder of the modern state of Afghanistan. He began his career by enlisting as a young soldier in the military of the Afsharid kingdom and quickly rose to become a commander of the Abdali Regiment, a cavalry of four thousand Abdali Pashtun soldiers.
After the death of Nader Shah Afshar in 1747, Ahmad Shah Durrani was chosen as King of Afghanistan. Rallying his Afghan tribes and allies, he pushed east towards the Mughal and the Maratha empires of India, west towards the disintegrating Afsharid Empire of Persia, and north toward the Khanate of Bukhara. Within a few years, he extended his control from Khorasan in the west to Kashmir and North India in the east, and from the Amu Darya in the north to the Arabian Sea in the south.
Durrani's mausoleum is located at Kandahar, Afghanistan, adjacent to the Shrine of the Cloak in the center of the city. Afghans often refer to him as Ahmad Shāh Bābā ("Ahmad Shah the Father").
Dawn of Man[]
"Blessings, Ahmad Shah Durrani, father and founder of the Afghan Empire. Plagued by centuries of bloodshed and war, Afghanistan is a harsh but resilient nation. Caught between the great powers of India, Persia, and Russia, her people, talented poets and craftsmen, have been tested and tried by countless invasions and innumerous campaigns to tame her treacherous hinterlands. But through these trials, the Afghan people, in piety and in spirit, have survived and prospered.
O' pious Emperor, the foes that once posed threat to the Afghan nation emerge once more. Will you rise to defend her ways and to repulse those that would impregnate her? Will you foster great works of song and verse to honour her people? Will you build a civilisation that stands the test of time?"
