The Death of Kenesary Khan brought peace into the unruly steppes for centuries the raiders from the Steppes have brought nothing but pain and suffering to Russia. They were finally brought to heel and peace was restored but the Tsar knows better. The steppes are uncivilized, they take slaves, they don't have order and only Russia can provide peace and order into these lands. The plans were made, and troops were readied; but many generals expressed concern over the campaign over fears of the British intervening. The Tsar already knew about this and felt no fear.

The Demand was made to Bukhara, who had become a subject of the Persians. They wished for peace out of fear, but the Tsar cared little. Shots were fired and blood was shed. The reports came very late to the Tsar of the war. He had not realized that the war had escalated; the British came as expected but then the Ottomans mobilized as well. The Tsar had believed that Egypt would keep the Ottomans busy; instead they bent the knee lacking any honor or pride. Russia was ill prepared for this scale of war at least 200 thousand troops were ordered to the front lines against the 300 thousand coalition. 

After nearly a year, the losses were coming and Russia was pushed back. After some time, a white peace was made. Russia was held back, at the very least nothing was lost but the Tsar's worst fears came true. The British were going very, very far in holding back Russia. The Turks and Persians defensive pact is very worrying. Russia was contained by the Iron Curtain of Islam backed by the British. The Tsar was no doubt furious. It is unknown what the Tsar plans to do. All that is known in the inner circle is "Russia fights back".

Raja Sindh accepts neither and proposes a trial by combat (ruler vs ruler) between the rulers of both nations, war breaks.
