The City of the Lighthouse (1x5)

:

Mahmut arrives at Phoiníkē and sees a Balt-Rhein ship docked at the harbor. He meets with the Türkiye spy, Kyros, who informs him that he will find trouble during his stay. Mahmut is summoned by the patriotic Magistros Konstantinos and other members of the Phoiníkē senate, who request that Mahmut to sit in at the senate assembly to discuss the empire's demands to cede their harbor to them. While Caesar Apollodorus wants to accept the empire's demands, Konstantinos states it is an excuse to invade and gain control over the Centro sea. After the rest of senate vote to go to war, Phoiníkē engages in a siege against Balt-Rhein led by Glalat, who has no success in breaching the city's protective walls for fifteen days. While the senate discuss the absence of Phoiníkē 's nation ally Venedik, who they signaled for aid days ago, Mahmut understands Phoiníkē will lose unless Venedik sends reinforcements. Knowing that empire's influence will surround Türkiye on all sides if they win, Mahmut volunteers to travel to Venedik and get aid, but is turned down. While talking to Kyros, who reveals that Apollodorus is his father, Mahmut learns of how Kyros met Süleyman and convinces him to give him a ship to travel to Venedik. Meanwhile, Lelederik and her mountain infantry unit prepare to scale the crystal cliffs in attempt to invade Phoiníkē.
