The Emirate of Jadid Khaz Modan is the only autonomous territory left over from the Warring States period of the Civil War in Goldshire. The territory comprises of the islands of Amity, Mirioth, So-Sara and Yardistan and nominally adheres to the Codex Aureus Regni whilst in practice following Babkhan customary law and the precepts of the Harmonious Society.

The Emirate was established in 1636 when the ESB-Jörmungandr Group installed the defeated House of Osman under Tokaray al-Osman as client rulers. Tokaray, who had been forced to work for the Elwynnese during the anti-Froyalanish revolt, was instructed to hold the isles in a state of terror and prevent their rising to join the mainland kingdom in throwing out the hated House of Ayreon-Kalirion. The ruthless efficiency with which this was carried out encouraged Thorgils Tarjeisson, first as Minister of Military Affairs and later as Kaiser, to trust Tokaray with greater responsibilities, including command of the feared Crypteia secret police. This trust proved to be misplaced and saw Thorgils overthrown and murdered in the Oustfest Massacre.

The isles saw some limited fighting during the Year of the Four Kaisers but remained ambiguously neutral for the most part after Isabella Simrani-Kalirion betrayed her husband Tokaray and unleashed the air power of the Natopian Defense Force on the rebel positions around Shirekeep.

With the subsequent disappearance of Tokaray and Isabella's continued absence in Natopia, the children of Tokaray by both of the Simrani sisters were left in the care of Miranda Simrani-Kalirion.

With them lies the ultimate control of the House of Osman and the possession of the isles, which it took and continued to hold at the end of the civil wars on the mainland.

Alissa al-Osman, the dowager Countess of Cimmeria, disapproved of the lax morality of Miranda, who has turned her husband's court into her own salon and brothel, and fears that she will be as likely to whore the children as to raise them in the Babkhan manner.

Unwilling to see the next generation of Osmanids wasted by debauchery and luxury, Alissa became, by the year 1646 AN, determined to take possession of the regency of Jadid Khaz Modan for herself.

In her favour, she had recourse, via her son Ludovic Verion, to the resources of the Iron Company trading station at Erudition. Her son meanwile is blockaded on the island of Blackstone by the Imperial Navy of Shireroth for his part in the Oustfest Massacre.

The Steward of the Imperial Republic, Daniyal Dravot - an ESB man to his core - has married Liv Djupvik, the Khanum of Cabbagefall, and established Imperial garrisons throughout the mainland kingdom. Although Dravot's ancestors, commoners of Mondesian Inglizi origins, rose in the service of the House of Osman, his heart is set upon its destruction so as to avenge the death of his friend and colleague, the late Kaiser Dominus, who as Thorgils Tarjeisson was the co-founder, along with Dravot and Ernst Cryptsinger, of the ESB Group. Only Isabella's good standing with Shireroth's indispensable Natopian allies has prevented a swift and overwhelming attack on the isles by the Imperial Forces.

The Imperial Republic meanwhile, along with the ESB Group, remains in a precarious financial situation with expenditures, particularly on defence in the face of an assertive Jingdao, that far exceed revenues. In consequence of which it looks to the trade and the resources of the siles as a way to obtain guarantees of colateral for the forthcoming bond issues intended to cover the forthcoming 1647 programme of defence spending.

In the midst of this, Isabella Simrani-Kalirion considers the House of Osman along with the isles, to be mere stepping stones to here ultimate ambition, the restoration of Simrani-Kalirion rule in Elwynn. To that end she had arranged the double marriage alliance with Tokaray so that her son, whom she had cloned from her murdered father, would marry Tokaray's daughter by Miranda, Azardokht al-Osman. The fly in the ointment of this plan however was that Azardokht was abandoned in Elwynn during the Year of the Four Kaisers and subsequently became the ward, effectively the prisoner, of the Arandur of Alalehzamin and Utasia, the Steward himself, who subsequently transferred her, along with Lord Adam's infant son, to Shirekeep and confinement in the Steward's Tower under the care of a governess not overly given to sentimentality.

The peace in the isles therefore was of a decidedly temporary and precarious nature.
