After annihilating Baghdad, the Mongols ride to Syria, leveling and slaughtering defiant cities and their peoples. While the steppe warriors prepare to burn and conquer the ancient land of the pyramids, the mighty Mamluks of Egypt, led by Sultan Qutuz and Baybars, resolve to strike first at the Battle of Ain Jalut (معركة عين جالوت). Rather than break the Mongol Empire, Ain Jalut sparks decades of brutal war and brilliant statecraft between these worthy adversaries.

An enormous thank you to @TheJackmeisterMongolHistory for graciously providing me with scholarly advice, primary and secondary sources, and arms and armor references for the artwork.

The art is original and manually made by Joseph Feely. For a demonstration, see our speed painting playlist:    • Speed paints
