We begin with a quote from the, undeniably somewhat self-serving, autobiography of the Crown Prince of Raspur:

In the month of Mehr in the 1665th year after the passing of Ņʊ̈rţān Modānshāh and in the 76th year since the desolation of the lands, I entered into the Ostan of Mitra at the command of my Lord Father the Khan, to bring the lands into submission to the Rightly-Guided Throne.
