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....

The commander of this Venetian fleet is actually a 'good old friend' of Antonius called Benedetto Vitturi, yes, if anyone remembers, this guy was the ruler of Candia when Antonius paid Krete a visit to do something that no one remembers more than a decade back. Governor Benedetto stepped down soon after Antonius' visit going back to Venezia to serve as a savii del consiglio in charge of carrying out government policies, then just a year ago, by God's grace the man is not yet, he became the admiral for the Venetian fleet, due to the fact of his long service and bearing the family crest of the Vitturi family. 

Benedetto saw Antonius as nothing but a pawn back then, hoping that he would stir up the Ottoman's trade route in the Aegean and keep them busy from contesting with Venetian influence in the region. Though it seems like the pawn back then is a little way too successful now.
