hello_history 163101

The son of a lowly coppersmith, Ya'qub is a self-made man whose disfigurement by a sword stroke has neither slowed nor hindered him. Having carved out a large kingdom in Sistan, he is now embroiled in war with the Tahirids, the caliph's old lackeys. On the home front, the same commanders that supported Ya'qub's usurpation whisper of changing their loyalties yet again. You seem poised to forge a new destiny for Persia — do you dare challenge the enduring might of the Abbasids?

hello_history [id] takes these IDs — the game describes it as “show a character from history”, argument “Scripted history character ID”.

play [character id] wants the in-game character ID instead, which is not the history ID: with debug mode on, hover over a character to see it.
