The starting map · 1300

Every crown owes someone.

In 1300 a king can be another king's vassal, a duke can kneel to a prince who kneels to a king, and a small frontier beylik answers to a sultan who answers to a khan. This is where the game begins. Who keeps their oath is up to the players.

Place names are given as they were used in 1300. Coats of arms are shown only where they are documented for this period. Turkic and Mongol powers carry the tuğ, the horse-tail standard. Realms without a documented emblem are shown in a plain colour.
