The Skaven of Araby secretly ally with Jaffar, spying for him and slaying his enemies in exchange for warpstone. Legends speak of him invoking demons and parleying with spirits. Many Bretonnians consider this part of their history as one of the greatest victories of their time.Īs a prelude, around the year 1430 of the Imperial Calendar, Sultan Jaffar, a powerful Arabyan sorcerer, forged a coalition among many desert tribes and expanded his power to forge a small empire by capturing Al-Haikk, Copher, Martek, and Lashiek, and overthrow the Great Sultan of the moment. Such was the zeal that the Knights brought upon the Arabyans, that the cities of their nation were torn down, their populations slaughtered, and their once great Sultan killed in the final battle that saw the true end of the war. The scale of the campaign resulted in the largest congregation of knights in known history, which would eventually lead to the creation of many of the Empire's Knightly Orders. While this splendid army marched on Estalia, distant lands lent reinforcements to the brave Knights, such as the warships of Tilea. Glory-hungry knights from all across Bretonnia joined the King's banners in what would become the first of a series of Crusades all across the known world. The King of Bretonnia, Louis the Righteous, raised a huge army of knights to free Estalia and punish Jaffar for the atrocities they had committed. The Crusades Against Araby, more commonly known as the Great Crusades, or simply the Crusades, refers to a three-year-long military campaign launched by the Knights of Bretonnia and the Empire in order to free the distant Kingdom of Estalia from the enslavement of the Arabyan invaders of Sultan Jaffar. The Crusades against Araby were one of the greatest military expeditions ever organized, and probably the greatest of wars fought against an adversary other than the hordes of Chaos.
