Rating: PG
Possible Spoilers/Warnings: Mentions of human sacrifice.

Original Prompt:
What I want: Pre-LWW Calormen
Prompt words/objects/quotes/whatever: Tashbaan, the rise of the Empire, a coup within the royal family, "Is it not passing brave to be a king,/And ride in triumph through Persepolis?" -Christopher Marlowe (any or all of these, whatever works)
What I definitely don't want in my fic: No fluff, though I don't really know how that would work into this. Other than that, no specifications.
