    Diplomacy
    Diplomatic Relations
    The Crusader States - The ultimate foe of the Caliphate, the crusaders are bitterly hated by not just the Abbasids, but most Muslims, for their unlawful occupation of Jerusalem, and the articulation the Franks have committed against Arabs.
    The Kingdom of Georgia - relations with the Orthodox Christian Georgians are fairly cold, due to differing faith and resistance to Islamic conquest in the past. However, The Caliph does not mind the Georgians as much as the Europeans, moreso if they stay out of affairs.
    The Greco-Roman Empire - Not loved by the Arab people in general, the Romans used to be the main rival for dominance in the Near East. With the fall of the old Caliphate and a changing geo-political situation, the Romans are held in slightly higher regard than most Christians, though mostly because they do not threaten the Caliph directly.
    Rest of Christendom - The Christians disliked by the Abbasids, their ruthless participation and support for the crusades does not go down well for many pious Muslims, though their is not too much contact with many, beyond Silk Road trade.
    The Khazar Khaganate - The Khazars are held in mostly neutral regard, purely due to their separation and lack of direct diplomatic contact. The Caliphate and the Khazars have fought in the past, though these conflicts are mostly forgotten now.

    A crusader diplomat enters with a heavily armored escort in case of attacks. He is a Templar.

    King Baldwin and his holiness declares that you remain neutral in the Crusade or Baghdad will be burnt to ashes.

    The Caliph frowns at the upstart frank.

    'You have some cheek, crusader. We will stay out of your war with the Shia Fatmids, if you do not conquer the holy cities of Mecca and Medina, and instead let the lands become an independent emirate.'

    The Crusader smiles.

    For now this will be fine.

    The Emirati diplomat was met by the Grand Vizier.

    'Ah, a fine fellow from the south! What do you bring from the Emirs?'

    The Diplomat bows to the Vizier.

    "Greetings, Vizier. I come on behalf of His Highness Sheikh Khalifa. It is his wish that I seek trade with the Caliphate."
