Near the coast of the Mediterranean Sea, at the intersection of the land masses of Arabia and Africa, lies Tel Aviv in the Ottoman Empire.
|| 1655 Vedic Calendar, four months and one week after the New Year ||
In this vast metropolitan city, the Emperor of the Ottoman Empire is resting in his palace. He had come to Tel Aviv in order to visit Jerusalem, to see how the remodelling and refurbishment of Al-Aqsa Mosque had been completed. As he was receiving a lot of support from his people and the nobles to repair and reconstruct the mosque, which is the third most holy place for Muslims after Mecca and Medina, he had to take matters into his own hands.
After waking up from his rest, His Majesty Mehmed IV, the Emperor of the Ottoman Empire, had breakfast and set out to handle some affairs. He had the local nobles explain the current condition of Jerusalem to see if it needed any support from the capital.
