Sultanate of Baba
Sultanate of Baba, or simply Baba, is a sultanate situated on The Shire's far eastern desert.
Name
It is speculated that the name 'Baba' comes from the Yoruba Christian hymn, 'Baba Yetu'. This possible name origin might also be shared with Yetu, a mudbrick-based town southeast of Baba.
History
Historical records mentioned that Sultanate of Baba is among the states antagonistic towards New Sammichian Empire due to "several centuries of war, conquest and conflict". So far, historians found mentions of the Battle of Baba in November 1927 CE sparked by Kingdom of Fulfwotz, the predecessor of New Sammichian Empire. Before the battle, Baba is one of the countries within the Fulfwotz-led Overtaker coalition, before switching sides along with other few states. This triggered the Battle of Baba where Fulfwotz successfully invaded Baba's grand capital and instated the pro-Overtaker dictator, Sultan Azra si Saman. Sultan Azra would later spearhead the 1933 Qolfa ethnic genocide. His regime was continued by his son, Sultan Azra II.
