This is probably my best work yet. Since my map on Napoleonic Britain, I feel a little bit mediocre considering I failed to replicate the old-ass style of the 19th century. But after months of spending my worthless time on crackers and cold water, I have finally cracked the code and give it another try. I used the Safavid Empire as a base considering it's rarely covered by the community and I love their history so much that it's a crime that they don't have their own spotlight. So, I made a map for them because why not, right?

Anyway, I hope y'all have fun with this one!

--- Description ---

After the demise of Selim the Grim at the Battle of Chaldiran, Ismail set his eyes on expanding his realm across the known world. This act of triumph has manifested his visage of a messianic figure into a much grander apotheosis. From the farthest corners of the Carpathian Mountains to the mighty streams of the Indus River, in just 12 years, the Shah has united the world under his banner.

He faced great foes since his triumph: From the Mamluks to the Hungarians, Ismail galloped through the world and crushed them through the determination of his warriors and his ingenuity of adopting great technologies, with thousands of hundreds of people marching on his side.

His glories did not end in warfare, however. Spanning across the Balkans to Afghanistan, the Great Road has become an architectural masterpiece among travelers and merchants – with layers of paved stones guiding them to his capital – Isfahan. He has also managed to collect thousands of records and scrolls into the new Great Library of Alexandria – housing countless knowledge under a single roof.

His empire is diverse as it is mighty. Countless people from every corner of the world are under the authority of the Safavid Empire. From the lowly farmer or a prosperous merchant, the coffers of the empire fills itself under the abundance of their trade. And his court is filled with Christians, Buddhist, and Muslims of different sects standing side-by-side.

He passed away in 1581, dying a peaceful end after years of commitment to his realm. His empire still stands until the reach of the 19th Century, with the people being marred with neglect and the sense of a national pride bloomed across his realm.
