"Let women bring into this world children filled with loathing for war. The world is ruined by heroes. It is for us to reclaim it." Kalat Claimed is a play by prominent screenwriter and director, Bahram Beyzaie. It is a story of two generals in the Mongol conquest of Khwarazm (Chorasmia) and their dispute over the accession of Kalat (located in the Northwest of modern Iran). The City is ruled by Tui Khan who holds a grudge against his fellow general Togai Khan over the number of slain enemies. Tui Khan invites Togai Khan to a feast to reconcile, but each plots to kill the other. Togai attempts to capture Tui, but he manages to flee. Tui Khan's wife, Ay Banou, gathers an army with her husband's remaining soldiers and conquers the City with both of the generals dead.
