The Daan Sultanate of Gelincik Arazi. A small state several hundreds of miles north of the Xin border and ten miles off the coast on the island of Daan. A structured society of the Daan race ruled by the Sultan Nassau de Daan from the capital city of Gelincik and the fort of Muadar with his elite janissary guard and spahis cavalry.

Economy: Mainly based upon raiding and slaving the Daan have become quite well respected ship builder and a major player in the slave selling market. The Daan also have several colonies on the mainland which make a large amount of money from growing “tobacco” a weed that can be smoked and has become especially popular in the Mittari Empire.

Military: The Daan are a very military society with most people serving under some Captain as a raider against the Sultans interests. The core of the army is the Janissaries. Taken from orphanages the Janissaries have been trained from birth in the art of fighting and have become quite skilled with the crossbow and axe. The next standing part of the army are the spahis, or any daan who is wealthy enough to have his own Jannisaries. The spahis form a force of heavy cavalry and their Jannisaries are added to the main force but are allowed to keep the heraldry of their spahi. Next are the Ahdath, a form of trained militia that every male of fighting age must be apart of. The Ahdath works by having wealthy merchants pay for arms and armor in return for not having to serve resulting in a very well armed militia. The Ahdath are also famed for their unique levy system. This system works by having every village and town give a strength rating that the Sultan can then use to call up the Ahdath, starting at one which calls one company from every city then two which calls a second company and a company from the next tier of city. This system eventually works to sixteen, with one company coming from even the smallest hamlet and sixteen companies coming from the tier one cities.

The Gelincik remain rather isolated and only send diplomats to nearby nations.
