Education & Indoctrination Service of Raspur/Sarayzenana
An underground sanctuary and stately pleasure dome for senior Babkhan nobility, now utilised as a breeding farm for perpetuating high prestige bloodlines.
Following the Babkhan Holocaust of 1598 the footballing community of Babkha for the most part perished, sharing the miserable fate of that nation's populace - exterminated in the atomic cataclysm and its immediate aftermath. The only two notable survivors were Mahmoud Cheremshar, of the Raspur Militants, and Daras Dakera, of the Athletic Sajin Slavers. In consequence their bloodlines were deemed amongst the most valuable in Eura, after the scions of the House of Osman, the senior cadres of SAVAK and the Yemin Zoka, and certain prominent academics who were already enjoying subterranean confinement before the bombs dropped. As such the footballers found themselves amongst the select few recovered by Yemin Zoka, snatched in their particular instances from the vast column of refugees stampeeding towards the Alexandrian enclave of Luthoria, and brought to the underground facility known as the Sarayzenana.
Built in secret by the Education & Indoctrination Service of the then Emirate of Raspur, the Sarayzenana was intended to be a refuge for the House of Osman and a few favoured loyalists during the new year celebrations of 1600, when a pre-emptive first strike on Ashkenatza and Alexandria was scheduled.
After the establishment of the Khanate of Raspur these underground facilities were returned to the Education & Indoctrination Service to serve as a breeding farm for high prestige bloodlines - particularly those for noted descendants of academicians and athletes.
Physically, the Sarayzenana consists of exceptionally luxurious conditions, particularly for princesses and women assigned to the surviving footballing families. Extreme restrictions have been placed upon access to the underground facility, however these are recorded as offering courtyards, ponds, fountains and gardens, all illuminated and sustained by artificial light and environmental systems powered by legacy Babatom reactors. The Sarayzenana's interior is decorated with mirrors, paintings, valuable carpets, and murals of flying angels.
With the surface Khanate being in a deplorable condition, lacking the knowledge-base and industrial capacity to sustain legacy Babkhan-technology, the Khanate is obliged to rely upon the strategic alliance with the ESB Group and Constancia to keep critical infrastructure online. The non-disclosure agreements that foreign engineers working on site are required to sign runs to five hundred pages and seven chapters.
The facility also lends its name to a series of associated schools and training institutions which oversee the development of children born to the programme until they attain the age of sixteen and are either to be assigned to service or returned to the Sarayzenana to participate in the propagation of the next generation.
Athletes, politicians, academics, soldiers, and other eminent personages invited to contribute to the various programmes of the EISR would be assigned a suite of quarters in the outer compound of the Saraymardana and afforded strictly supervised and tightly scheduled access to the andaruni or inner sanctum of the Sarayzenana.
