A Cultural Crises
After conquering Persia, many Arabs encourged the Caliph to begin assimilating the heretical Persians into the fold of the Caliphate.A noble by the name of Yusuf bin Tashfin, a Persian in origin, funded the building of the Madrasat El-Fors (The School of the Persians) to train Qadis (Judges) , Modareson (teachers) and Kotab (Oriators) in the Persian tongue.Yusuf aimed to assimilate the Persians into the Caliphate culturally, by employing Arabs and kurds in Persian cities.Throughout Persia, mosques, schools and courtrooms were to be controlled by Arabs, stranggling the Persian culture and destroying it in the forthcoming centuries.Not to mention the massive movement of Arabs to the Persian cities also weakened the Persian identity.However, many Persian nobles showed opposition to this move, fearing for their countrymen , language, and culture.
# Choices 1.Build the School and send colonists to Iran! * some provinces become sunni, Hamdan and Tabriz turn Arabic, A great number of revolts, and money lost, about 400 coins. -1 innovation, continued resistance for 5 years perhaps?
2.Build the school only * some provinces convert, lose 200 coin, Awhaz becomes Arabic
3.Support Persian identity * 1 innovation, gain 300 coin, +1 aristocracy as there are many happy Persian nobles.

The surge into Egypt
An Egyptian by the name of Qazi Al-Sharay arrived to Baghdad, asking the Caliphate for help.Qazi plead for help to ascend the throne of Egypt as civil war broke out and two factions emerged, the Eastern Egyptians, and the Western Fatamids.By supporting him, we gain the support of the Eastern Egyptians, however, if we support the Fatamids, our western borders will be far more secure.However, there is a third choice, and that is to invade Egypt and let Allah sort out the dead.My lord, the oppourtunity in Egypt is too tempting to ignore, I highly advice we interfere....
Choice 1. Ignore the matter, this is soly an Egyptian problem *add anything u see good I guess
2. Support the Al-Sharay! *relations, that type of stuff
3. Support the Fatamids! * ahem relations and that type of stuff
4. Invade the cities of the Nile!* cores, stability hit, loss of money, gain some troops, war against FAT and EGY.....etc

The surge into Egypt III
After the fall of Egypt, the Al-Sharay family disappeared from the stage, dissolving into public life, fearing the Caliphate's fury.However, after the devestating conquest of Egypt, they began to pick up the leftovers of their power within the realm and mustered enough support to revolt against the Baghdadi Caliph.Cairo, Alexandria, and Dimyatta capitulated to the rebels and the people of Egypt are up in arms against us!
Crush them! * rebels control Cairo, Alexandria, and Delta , rebels appear in some places throughout Egypt

Arabian Reniassance
The cities of the orient were spared the fate of the Asian cities by the hands of the mongols.Baghdad remained a beacon of knowledge and science in the area, and continued to produce great minds and works.However, the massive upheavels and wars, encourged the decline of knowledge at a whole.Libraries and universities were left to rot as most resources were used in the wheels of wars.By the 15th and 16th century, the Caliphate entered a period of rebirth, a Reniassance riviling Europe, and adding to the splendor of the Caliphate.Many Calipahs, built great houses of knowledge, and universities.The expansion of the House of Wisdom was a priority of great importance as expanding the Holy mosque of Mecca.The printer, a greatly critizied machine was imported from Europe through Byzantium, and books were widely distributed among the people who appreciated the works of the ancients.This was also dubbed the "Age of the Golden Caliphate".Some Caliphs also expanded mosques, and supported the pious.

Correction for the Great mosque event Note: it looked tacky so I added details
The Great mosque of Baghdad
Calipah (insert name?its in the events file) was a pious Calipah, who always wished to display his faith and love to allah in every way.In the peak of his zeal, he built the Great Abbasidium Mosque of Baghdad.A most magnificent and awe inspiring structure.About 290 feet tall, topped with a Golden dome, inlayed with emeralds and Sapphires, not to mention 20 minarets, each with the name of a specific prophet.The mosque was able to accomadate well over 20 thousand of the faithful, and acted as a center of spiritual and educational value to the Great city of Baghdad.
