Nizzarid

The Nizzarid Sultanate is a sultanate that covers all of Egypt. They were founded by Nizzar the Great, a general in the service of the Ayyubid Dynasty who went from servant to master of a kingdom in the heart of the Islamic world.

Because they are seen by many as an usurper or traitor dynasty, the Nizarids Sultans have to rely on their armies to legitimize their government.

Lore
The Civil War of 1170 devastated the Fatimid Caliphate, but fortunately they manage to overcome Saladin and his army of traitors, the caliphate went through several instabilities until a new civil war became imminent.

Former General Fatimid Nizzar the Great allied himself with peasants, civilians and generals dissatisfied with the nation and created a large army led by himself. In 1248 the Fatimid Civil War began and ended in a satisfactory victory for Nizzar, who killed the monarchs and established himself as the new sultan of the new Nizzarid Sultanate.

The Sultanate faced great instability because they were considered traitors by the Islamic faith, but with their loyal army they contained all revolts and established themselves as a great power in the Islamic world.

In 1442 they were humiliated when they failed to invade the Kingdom of Jewia and the Religious State of Tzidon, they will need a major victory in the near future to remain stable and remain a great Muslim power.
