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

<p>Therma Sphrantzes has never stepped foot in the city of Thessaloniki before, nor has she entered the palace of Thessaloniki where people address it as the government house before.</p>

<p>It is small, no doubt, as it was never designed to be the permanent home for a monarch before, it cannot be compared with the lavish palace of Blacknaraea, nor can it be compared with the palace of Porphyrogenitus, and of course it is nothing when compared with the majestic Great Palace of Constantinople, but still, despite being small it's got all the things that it needs to have, including a grand hall, a ball room, banquet room, waiting room, rooms for various government sectors, and even a forum and a bell tower. It is widely known that the owner of Thessaloniki does not have the habit of having concubines and mistress unlike the other monarchs in Europa, and thus this small palace is enough to house all the things that is required.</p>
