1453: Revival of Byzantium

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 ------------------------------------------------------------------- AD1453, as the city of Constantinople prepares for its final fate, a pirate captain and crew sailed into the golden horn, history made an abrupt turn from this point onward....

Darıca

Antonius then moved on to the Ottoman holdings in Darıca, nothing special about this place with no natural bay making it a safe harbour from the not so dangerous Mediterranean tides, no strong fortress built here stopping the aggressors at its door steps, no tough terrain making it unreachable, and definitely no strong opposition army here to fend off its invaders, if one wants to set up a sea side outpost or fortress here to spy and blockade the ships sailing into the strait, this place is not the best option, so what makes it so damn important that Sultan Orhan must specifically include it in the deal requesting Antonius to take it? 

Because it is rich.
