Early in his campaign of conquest, the Turko-Mongol Tamerlane marched southwest to put down rebellion in Khorasan, then including parts of Iran and Afghanistan. The city of Herat fell to his overwhelming force and he went on to capture Zaranj, Kandahar and Isfizar (where living captives were cemented into towers) as he consolidated his control before turning west against Persia and Azerbaijan.
