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

"Ali, my son," Zaganos Pasha called out, his voice echoing with the gravitas of a seasoned warrior, his face set in stone.

His tone was sombre, a quiet storm brewing in his eyes. "I want no more talk of revenge from you."

"Listen well, my son. We Ottomans ascended through our martial prowess, and now we find ourselves vanquished, outmanoeuvred in warfare. Our current strength is far not enough to challenge the Rumelians under the thief Antonius De'Ricci. I may be too old to witness our resurgence, but you and your brothers must seize this chance to learn from them. Study their soldiers' discipline, the intricacies of their command, the mechanics of their new weapons. Understand their strategies and contemplate our own path to victory. This is your duty – far more crucial than fleeing your arse back to Anatolia in a fit of agitation."

Kaboom!
