History

For ancient history see the Pellinese Empire.

Shadiaq was an Emirate of The Pellinese Empire between 2000 BC to 1200 AD. It's borders have remained unchanged since 954 BC when the council of Elders of the Pellinese Empire divided the empire into 19 Emirate's ruled by local warlords. Shadiaq was awarded to Idagon Tas'Mal, a legendary Pellinese warrior.

Around 1205AD, Shah Muhamed of the Pellinese Empire called for an army to be raised and asked all the Emirates to send 10,000 men each to fight the Emirate of Samah Island, who had declared itself independant of the Pellinese Empire. The Shadiaqan Emir at the time, Mohammed Fayullah, raised an army of 10,000 foot soldiers and 5,000 cavalry in support of the war against Samah Island. But it was only Shadiaq, and the Emirate of Mooddiqa and the Emirate of Maleeqa that showed support for Shah Muhamed. This prompted Shah Muhamed to call for all the Emir's who failed to provide soldiers to be arrested and executed, which in turn sparked the War of the Pellina Island Succession.

Shadiaq raised an even bigger army of 80,000 warriors who were sent to the Emirate of Makaoui, to protect Shah Muhamed. The war lasted three months, only ending when Shah Muhamed and his family were killed by Emir Jamal Al Baqara of the Emirate of Salehstan.

On March the 18th 1206, the 19 Emir's of the former Pellinese Empire met at Intisar (Emirate of Makaoui) and the Treaty of Intisar was signed by all 19 Emir's granting independence to the Emirates.
