Overview

Saba-Da'amat

Saba and Da'amat, or Saba-Da'amat, are the union of Kingdoms under the reign of Queen Makeda. Da'amat was an Ethiopic Kingdom, and Saba was a Yemeni Kingdom. While Saba is more well-known due to tales of the Queen of Sheba, some argue that the Queen of Sheba herself was originally Ethiopian in origin.

Makeda

To start with: this mod is explicitly designed to represent the Ethiopic narrative around the Queen of Sheba. She is considered the mother of the Solomonic Dynasty of Ethiopia, queen Makeda. She was a wise and gracious ruler who conversed with King Solomon of Israel on equal terms. According to the Book of Aksum, she established her capital at Azeba.

Dawn of Man

Blessed be to thee, wise Queen Makeda of Saba and Da’amat! You inherited the throne upon the early death of your brother. Your wisdom led to a long and prosperous reign, where you even met with the wise King Solomon of Israel. It was this union that led to the creation of the Solomonic dynasty of Ethiopia, one of the longest-reigning in the history of the world. Unfortunately, as the ages passed, so too did the Solomonic dynasty fall out of power long after your death…

Yet, there is still more to be done! Your people seek your leadership once more. Can you spread your generosity and insight to realms all over? Can you build a legacy forged in gold? Can you build a civilization that can stand the test of time?

Introduction: Hello, my name is Makeda- I rule the lands of Saba and Da'amat. Tell me, do you have any further interests beyond diplomacy?

Introduction: My name is Makeda. I am the ruler of these fair lands of Saba and Da'amat. If you are able to keep up with me, then we shall talk plenty.

Defeat: Ah, so this is how it ends. I suppose not everyone gets remembered by history, after all...
