Kneeling Before the Indian Crown
In the city of Anangpur, Emperor Dharya Tomara sat at his dining table. Today was not a normal day for the man who ruled over the entire Indian subcontinent. A prestigious guest from beyond his eastern border had come to visit.
King Kriengsak of the Uthong dynasty, who ruled over the Ayutthaya Kingdom, had travelled a long way to visit the young Indian Emperor. With the world rapidly changing around him, Kriengsak felt a need to seek protection from a major power.
If he failed to do so, then his realm would soon fall prey to the more predatory Empires of this world. However, the man was still undecided between becoming a tributary of the Indian Empire or the Ming Dynasty, thus he had decided to meet with both Emperors and discuss what concessions he could gain in exchange for his allegiance.
