The Emirate of Sabotah was a Muslim emirate that ruled portions of what now is northern Salisford. The name Sabotah is derived from the original Romanyan province name for the area. The Emirate existed as as an autonomous Emirate of the Mutadinun Caliphate from 680-712, and after the Second Shia Revolution it broke off and became an independent nation. The Emir's rule ended in 732 AD, after it was conquered by its Christian neighbor, the Kingdom of Savotta.
The Emirate's rule, while short, has left a large impact on Salisford culturally, as the Norani trace their roots back to the Arabs who colonized northern Salisford during the Emirate's rule.
