Hulagu's threatening letters to al-Nasir, ruler of Damascus

Hulagu's letters to al-Nasir of Damascus: 'We killed their soldiers with God's sword; the city's lord came into our service, lied under questioning, and earned death. Answer the king of the earth — the hour you stand on our letter, Syria's fortresses turn heaven to earth and length to breadth'. And: 'we have wasted lands and slain women and children; you who remain will follow those gone — we are armies of ruin, not of dominion; lions cower at our awe; amirs and caliphs are in my fist; we are coming to you — yours to flee, ours to pursue'.
