1453, a year that marked the end of an era
With one city's fall, a shift from Medieval to Modern
Constantinople, a name etched in time
For a thousand years, stood strong and sublime

Against foes that dreamed to take her down
She persisted, unbroken, a true crown
But tonight, everything changes
Guns fired, women weep, men yell in ranges

Praying to God for a savior's grace
To rescue their city, to restore its place
In history's twist, God answered their plea
Sending a new emperor, the one they'd need

Antonius, born of the seas
To lead the Romans, a new destiny
To reach another pinnacle of might
And end the city's terrible plight

1453, a year that will forever divide
Medieval and Modern, with a fallen city as the divide

1453: Revival of Byzantium

"There webs were spread of more than common size, And half-starved spiders prey'd on half-starved flies."

-        The Prophecy of Famine: A Scots Pastoral, Charles Churchill

The trenches fell inevitably to the Romans right after the Ottomans chose to give up their grounds in return to save the lives of their men. Honestly speaking Antonius was surprised by his Ottoman counterparts' decision, because in his assumption the Ottomans rarely gave up their strategic goals in exchange for the lives of conscripts. But the Ottomans this time proved that his assumption is totally wrong. After seeing this event Antonius sighed to Anna and Alexios, saying that there is still modest man within the Ottomans that cares for the lives of soldiers despite there are much differences in many areas between them.
