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

"That is quite a grand vision, Lord Miralai," The Sultana Dowager responded, her tone betraying a note of scepticism, "It does sound like a world of fantasy."

Abdullah nodded, meeting her gaze evenly. "Yes, your Majesty, it is a dream, a fantasy. But it's precisely because it is so that it gives us a common goal to strive for. It unites our people, wards off the disillusionment of corruption, and spurs progress. Over the years, we've already seen drastic changes—less starvation, increased trade revenue, a fortified army, more advanced weaponry—all as a result of our Greater Roman Ideal."

The Sultana Dowager looked at her son, her eyes filled with a mix of determination and concern. "I am no mad woman, Lord Miralai," she declared firmly. "I will not lead my people towards doom. But make no mistake—I expect compensation for the hardship you've brought upon us, for my son's plight, and for your unjustified invasion."
