Establish the Yamagate in Samarkand

Claim a new holy land in the East

Just as Mar Sisin once led the faith in the Holy See of Babylon, so does our current Yamag lead us here in Turan and Persia. By formalising the church's divine mandate in Samarkand, the Manichean faith will be reborn and spread to a new people!
