For generations the Torqye Pashalu and the Balt-Rhein Empire have stood in stern opposition to each other. Then one night, when an Imperial minister is found assassinated, the two nations are plunged into a potentially explosive situation! As the generals of Torqye’s council cry for war, Mahmut comes to discover the devious truth behind the assassination! Thus the young pasha’s battle for his country, peace and trust in his fellow man begins!
As Mahmut hears word of suspicious Balt-Rhein activity, the Empire's southern forces begin their march back home. Their mission: To intercept Zaganos' army (busy freeing the tiny kingdoms that existed before the Empire's advance) in the city of Religione! To protect Zaganos from this sneak attack, Mahmut leads his own forces -- an army of cavalrymen, ready to show the Empire what it means to rile a people who live and die on the saddle!
