Altair: A Record of Battles

Conclusion of the Civil War (1x13)

:

With Balaban's absence, Uzun leads his army to finish off Kiliç's forces, but Mahmut and his group arrive back with Balaban's severed head to show everyone that he has been defeated, prompting Uzun to withdraw. Ismail and Beyazit's gun unit follows Uzun, using the guns to cause panic and confusion among the soldiers and giving Ismail the chance to kill his father alone. After apprehending Fatma and her young son, Kemal, Mahmut and co. discuss whether to execute Fatma as protocol dictates for treason. Ayşe explains that her mother only complied with Balaban because he protects Fatma and her family from political dissenters, but votes in favor of her mother's execution. While initially agreeing to execute Fatma, Mahmut ultimately chooses to spare Fatma and fake her death. With new sultans on the thrones and the invasion of the three stratocracies' capitals halted, the Greater Türkiye federation is established. Although his plans failed, Louis knows Greater Türkiye is weakened and plots to invade Türkiye soon. During the Divan meeting, Mahmut is offered to be reinstated as Pasha, who knows his loyalties are being tested in the wake the civil war. Although Mahmut disagrees with some of Divan's methods, he accepts being reinstated to continue protecting his homeland. Due to lacking military power at the moment, Mahmut purposes to launch a preemptive strike at the empire with economic power. With Halil's support, Mahmut is appointed to the minister of foreign affairs by the Divan. Later, Mahmut tries to return his Pyramis charm to Zağanos, who insists he keep it to help in future endeavors, and begins his next mission alongside Kyros and Abiriga.
