Dialog

Mehmed the Conqueror David Komnenos, the weight of history bows before you. The last emperor of Rome surrenders—how fitting that it is to me.

David Megas Komnenos The Lord giveth, and the Lord taketh away. Blessed be the name of the Lord.

Mehmed the Conqueror Rise, David. You shall not kneel in chains. The House of Osman honors the fallen.

David Megas Komnenos Honor is a fleeting shadow to the vanquished, Sultan. Yet I thank you for this mercy.

Mehmed the Conqueror Shadow or no, it is more than fate granted Constantinople. Trebizond outlived its sister by eight years—no small feat.

David Megas Komnenos Eight years of borrowed time, paid today in full. The reckoning is complete.

Mehmed the Conqueror Come. Let us speak of the terms. The world turns, David Komnenos, and you shall have a place in it.
