1st The year was 1203 AD . In October of that year begins our narration ... The European Continent and the East is in turmoil ... The crusades are in development . The crusaders have strong bases in Antiocheia and in Cyprus and they are trying to advance . The countries of the Western Europe are preparing another crusade . The Komnenan dynasty rules in Byzantium but they are threatened by the Seljuqs of Rum in the south . The musulmanic states realize that they are threatened and they are acting fast . The sultan of the Seljuqs in Persia becomes , after negotiations , the religious leader of the islamic nations . His first act is to lead the musulmans in JIHAD ! Under this jihad are the caliphate of Bagdad , the Seljuqs of Rum , the emirate of Damascus and the sultanate of the Ayyubid Arabs in Egypt . An appeal of the religious leader of the islamic nations to the leader of the Assassins to murder the prince of Antiocheia fails because of the Assassins ' domestic problems . After these events the prince of Antiocheia invades into the south territories of the sultanate of the Seljuqs of Rum and tries to capture the city of Kaisareia . The sultan of the Seljuqs of Rum counterattacks without all of his soldiers and without the reinforcements sent by the emire of Damascus . After an epic battle the Seljuqs of Rum loose and a strong sandstorm doesn't allow the soldiers of the northern territories of the sultanate of Rum and the Syrian cavalrymen from Damascus to reach the battlefield on time . After this battle , the prince of Antiocheia prepares himself to enter the city of Kaisareia ! The emire of Damascus as soon as he hears the news invades in the territories of the principate of Antiocheia near Alexandretta forcing this way the prince to come back without taking Kaisareia . Even though his attempt fails , Kaisareia remains free ! But , unfortunatelly for the Seljuqs of Rum the Byzantines under the leadership of their emperor attack the northern territories of the Rum sultanate , before the Seljuqs regroup their forces , and they reach the city of Ikonio . The Seljuqs of Persia and the caliph of Bagdad join their armies and march against the eastern frontiers of the principate of Antiocheia . The sultan of the Ayyubids decides to strike against Cyprus . The Berbers , who are not under the jihad , invade in Spain , in Andalusia , but near Varkignon they face strong Aragonese resistance . Finally , the Aragonese troops destroy the berberic army entirelly and pushes the remnants back to the sea ! The fleet of Cyprus with the assistance of mercenary pirates sinks many Egyptian ships . The Ayyubid sultan decides to attack the coastal crusade cities of Syria with land forces ...
