Author's Note: Dear friends and readers, the story world of Shatru Sesham has increased in leaps and bounds. Before proceeding to my next book and story arc, I wanted to include two parts giving the family tree of the Mahishmati dynasty and the list of kingdoms that have appeared in this historical fanfiction till now. I have described and explained most of these details within my story itself. But as I said, we are Five Books old. It becomes difficult to sift and remember these details spread across so many chapters and thousands of written words. So I thought these two parts would prove to be useful in understanding this story of historical and political intrigue. If you have been following this story and like it, please vote, share and comment.
