Ante Bellum - Claimants of Arabia

Development paused until Ante Bellum's upcoming Arabia update releases

Introducing Claimants of Arabia, a submod for Ante Bellum that aims to rework Arabia into a more content-heavy region with interesting divergences while still remaining consistent with the lore and gameplay philosophy of Ante Bellum.

With the heirs of Nizzar locked in combat with the crusaders for centuries and the Abbasid Caliphs locked away in Alexandria, the once proud kingmakers and warriors of Arabia have fallen into internal conflict and petty tribal feuds in the absence of leadership.
Along the Gulf, the Qarmatiyans aspire to use the stolen Black Jewel of Mecca to become the new center of the Islamic world and implement their communal system of governance across Arabia.
Looking to the Tihamah, the caliphate-aspirant Qatadids struggle to unite the Quraysh against the Nizzarid-aligned Sulayhids, all while the corsair federation of Al-Huety terrorizes the Red Sea.
In the South, the Bnei Chorath fight to preserve their Jewish faith while the Hamdanid sultans look to forge a new Yemeni state.
To the East, the sultan and imam of Oman fight over the region's future after the fall of Hormuz.
