Im working with what the original creator of Queranzariah, GreekIdiot/George S.K., left us with. Although he doesnt mention the birthplace of the prophet, but does say he worked his preaching and miracles in Kafurisran.
The wiki pages of Barmenistan are also a bit vague on the origin. Im quoting the wiki:
Consequently Judaism was gradually tolerated in Sisula and Uthena and the Islamic faith soon emerged in the latter as a syncretism of Christianity and Judaism. In 1186 Islam became the official religion of Uthena and the Islamic Caliph its ruler, and in 1216 an Islamic rebellion in Sisula led to the latter being invaded and conquered by the Caliphate.

Both dont specifically say Islam/Queranzariah originated in Barmenistan nor in Badara or that the prophet Ranz'riah was Barmenian or Badaran, but like i said on the wiki of Ranz'riah, i see no problem with him coming from Barmenistan, although there are very few records of it. Maybe we can have the Queranzari say he is from Barmenia and have the Abadi say he is from Badara. It would further explain the rift between both of the faiths

Emunim wrote:As far as I recall, the Ahl al-Bayt split was originally explained by the fall of the Barmenian Caliphate in the games pre-history. When the Bünyamins were overthrown (in 2142) the Al-Majalis, who were previously Sultans of Al'Badara, declared themselves Caliphs. I do think that this would make sense to be most fundamental split in Particracys Islam, as it has some parallels to the Sunni-Shia split.
We could have them both be related to the prophet Ranz'riah. In RL the Royal Houses of both Morocco and Jordan claim ancestry from Muhammed trough Imam Ai, his cousin and son-in-law. They both are from the same clan, the Banu Hashim, from the Quraysh tribe. Why not do the same for the Bünyamins and the Al-Majali's?
