Well, if you could lay it out for me in forms of detailed questions, I could then present them to those guys and hopefully they will answer soon.

I'm not on the 1257 team, but speaking from earlier experience working with them & doing SITD. What they'd need is, in a neat and concise list:

A) Lord's Name
B) Region or Settlement they owned
C) Any sort of heraldry or designs they had

This would be for:

Granadine Muslims

Marinids

Hafsids

Mamluks

Golden Horde (At this point Muslim)

And it needs to be in the 13th century, preferrably mid 13th century.
