Warrior Pack – Harun al-Rashid – Anachronism Set 3 – Tri King Games from Tri King Games

Description

The fifth Abbasid Caliph, Harun al-Rashid was both a devoted scholar and an unforgiving military leader. He invited learned individuals to his courts, opening up diplomatic relations across Europe and Asia, and quickly established his military credentials by securing surrender and tribute from Empress Irene of the Eastern Roman Empire. When Nicephorus usurped her position and rebuked Harun, his response was swift, sieging and sacking Heraclea. Nicephorus agreed to pay tribute, but immediately reneged, causing Harun to invade again. He defeated an army of 125,000 with only 15,000, and wounded Nicephorus himself. Today, Harun is best remembered as the caliph upon whom the One Thousand and One Nights is based. Use Harun al-Rashid, caliph of a thousand wonders, to outthink and overcome your opponent in the Anchronism arena, no matter the odds stacked against you.
