desc = "The Marinids old vizier family known as the Wattasids, took over formal control of Morocco in 1419. But the truth is that the Wattasids had been the real rulers for more than 50 years already, mastering and maintaining the Gold and Salt routes of the Desert whilst ruling the Maghrib. In fact, Yahyâ al-Wattâsî took advantage in 1400 of the Marinid weakness and started a formal regency in Marrakech.The country was divided into a Southern Wattasidi sphere and a northern Merdinandi sphere.The fighting escalated to a high pitch in 1411 in the battle of el-Basta, where the last Merdinand Ruler, Abu Sayfun was killed with the bulk of his army.However, Yahya did not enter Fez until 1418 due to the rebellion of Emir Hazim el-Tangi who carved a small princedom for himself on the Tizi Wozo cross.Yahya feared the loss of Timbuktu to the Emir's forces, and thus, rushed to the south where he fought Hazim in a phony war in the mountains and deserts of the Sahara.Luckly for Yahya,the Emir's rebellion came to an abrunt end when he was killed by his own guards in a general mutiney of the berbers.The forces of the Emir quickly fell into disorder, and Yahya was able to subdue the south and enter Fas in tiumph. Morocco was united once again, and this time, under competant rule."

desc = "Morocco had always concerned herself with al-Andalus, and rightly so, she shared an Imperial heritage with the Muslims of Spain under both the Almoravids and Almohads.During the trublent years, Morocco had pledged both funds and men to the Muslims of Iberia.However, by the begining of the 14th century, the political and social situation in al-Andalus was stabalizing as the Muslims scored victories against the infidel and it was obvios to all those involved that the conflict was coming to a resolution,and in turn Morocco's influence and presence in al-Andalus waned.Their work in Iberia at an end, the new Wattasid regency looked elsewhere.The great informal Sultan Yahyâ al-Wattâsî(also Vizier of the Merdinand Sultan) thus decided to gamble in Africa, sending a Moorish expedition in 1382.They returned laden with Gold and Wealth, and spoke of great Kingdoms in the interior.The Sultan immediatly sent other expeditions of Military nature.Most of these regiments fought off the tuaregs and berbers plauging the Tizi Wozo cross, though some were lucky to reach Airs and Agades.The Wattasids constructed countless forts, wells and caravanesaries to act as supply depots for their military intrigues in Africa.These measures aided the Moroccan army in the crossing of the Sahara and the capture of Timbuktu in 1399.The control of the city brought Great wealth to Morocco and marked the begining of a new Empire in Africa.However, the two decade civil war which followed after the Wattasid regency was declared in Marakech hampered any new advances into the interior of Africa, and had resulted in much disorder throughout the Sahel.Sultan Yahya attempted to undo the damages done on the Tizi Wozo path by Emir Hazim .As such, he re-organzied the garrisons and installed new miltias, whilst repairing the many alcazars dotting the crossing.He installed a new office in Timbuktu called the Wilaya el-Afariqa 'Governship of the Africans' to overlook the domestic matters of the Sahel and the issues of berbers, tuaregs and Malinese in Timbuktu.The Ulema of Timbuktu were also won over by the persuasion of Sultan Yahya and a few Gold coins.

- she can turn to the Almohads and control Sicily.Tlemscen or the Almoads would go against the Mutazelite heresy as a defender of Orthodoxy - but can go that path if she wishes with some punishment either way.
