If I can make this show a part-time job, I will be able to release biweekly and post more material. That would be an absolute dream come true.

I made a meme that captures my feelings while writing our next episode.

Slight liberties were taken with exaggeration.

Ahmed Ibn Arabshah ominously states:

"He drew his sword against them and threw upon them all of the armies of death."

Today's episode covers this conquest.

Sorry about the delay on our next episode. Had some "technical difficulties" that pushed things back (I forgot to unmute the mic 😐).

But it should be out soon and it is a LONG one!

REBELLION!

Amir Timur had barely left Persia before it began rebelling against him. Amir Wali, ruler of Mazandaran, disregards his submission to Timur and promptly attacks Timur's allies. This encourages others to rebel and Timur's empire is thrown into chaos.

Thus begins Timur's 2nd Invasion of Persia in 1381-1382. Find out what happens in today's episode!
