บท 548: The Revolt of the Atashban Family 1

July 1658

Safavid Empire

The flames of the Civil War had spread far and wide throughout the Safavid Empire. The five major families had already gone all out in the war for control of the empire.

Major cities like Baghdad, Khorasan, Isfahan, Azerbaijan, Golestan, Zabulistan, Kerman, Fars, Arabistan, Merv, and other significant cities had all experienced the terror of war.

Central areas where the Western royal faction and the Eastern Qizilbash faction meet are the hardest-hit areas. Villages, Towns, and Cities along this central imaginary line of fire have already turned to rubble. As for other cities and military fortresses in the interior, they were not spared either. Constant assassinations and surprise attacks occur every other day, so frequently that the people at the bottom have even developed an instinctive reaction of seeking shelter at every loud sound they hear.
