Description:
:: Description

Are you tired of those random shia rising claimants having the clearly fabricated Sayyid trait? Forge your own claim to the noble lineage of the Prophet. Once you have established your claim, you as well as your descendants will be viewed as Sayyids. If you have the Holy Fury DLC, you will also forge a unique lineage bloodline, cementing yourself as THE patriarch of your line.

Requirements:
– Muslim
– Not Sayyid or Sayyid Claimant
– Doesn’t have the Sayyid lineage bloodline
– 5k prestige or 3k if you are an emperor
– 1-5k wealth, scaled, depending on your income
– 1k piety
– NOT AI, unless the specific game rule allows the use of this decision

:: Sayyid Claim Strength

Just because you say you are a Sayyid doesn’t mean the people will accept these claims as fact. Your children, however, will grow up accustomed to being treated as a noble Sayyid, and their children will have quite some distance between your forged claim, thus they will be accepted by the Islamic community as true descendants of the Prophet’s family.

tl;dr You will get diplo penalty and lesser muslim opinion. Your children get a lesser penalty. Grandchildren inherit vanilla Sayyid trait.

Also, some people are bound to ask this obvious question, but yes, when you forge your lineage, your current line, from you to the farthest descendant will receive the appropriate Sayyid traits with levels respective to the generation. I had a meme where I was an immortal character and I had like 20 lines of succession, and all the dead children got the Sayyid – Strong Claim trait, and the grandchildren got vanilla Sayyid traits. Vanilla Sayyid trait propagates patrilineally, so all the offspring from male grandchildren onward inherited the trait as per vanilla mechanic, so this shouldn’t cause any issues even in your wildest games.

:: Lineage Bloodline

The founder gets a simple trait-like bloodline, that apart from giving a +5 muslim opinion also provides with a token of prestige and piety. Will only be forged if the player has Holy Fury DLC enabled.

:: Game Rules

You can enable or disable AI use of the decision in the game rules before starting a new game. You will find the rule under the Religion category, under the name "[Mod] AI Forge Sayyid".

:: Compatibility

Sword of Islam is required to play muslim characters. This is a must for the mod to work.
Holy Fury adds bloodline mechanic. If enabled, the one who forges their Sayyid lineage will also create a lineage bloodline. However, this functionality is not mandatory, and if Holy Fury is not found, this part will simply be skipped.
