Located on the Mesopotamian Plain in the Two River Basin, it is the essence of the entire Fertile Crescent and also the ruling center of Elanshahar, the Sassanid Dynasty.
Baron Fulk and Ivan, at this moment, are leading five thousand of Saladin's "handpicked" elite forces, escorting a large delegation toward the capital of the Sassanid Dynasty, Tarsus.
Not long ago, they had just passed through Baghdad, where they rested for an entire week before receiving the Sassanid King's summons, allowing them to proceed to the nearby Tarsus.
Along the way, they were dazzled by the magnificent Eastern scenery.
Baron Fulk felt quite sentimental: "The splendor of Baghdad is simply the most remarkable I have ever seen, neither Aleppo nor Alexandria compare to it, perhaps even the legendary Constantinople would be just like it."
"It's only slightly stronger than Cairo."
Ivan chuckled lightly, his expression a bit complex: "You still have the mind to pay attention to these things."
