Damascus, Syria, 1177, Sultan Beleram has just returned to his palace for dinner, a month ago, he was leading a powerful army 30000 strong, his invasion into the Kingdom of Jerusalem was nearly successful when he tricked his opponent king Baldwin the IV to move his army into the fortress of Ascalon, victory was near when in all of a sudden, Baldwin rode in with a force of 500 dedicated knights on horse backs and defeated the sultan's army in one blow. Beleram was forced to agree with Baldwin a peace treaty to leave the Kingdom of Jerusalem but in return, king Baldwin would open trade routes between their kingdoms and guaranteed safe passages for pilgrims of all faiths. They both complied with the terms of the treaties and do so without second thought. But to Beleram, there is still one thing left to be done, what must he do to conquer Jerusalem for the sake of his followers? The sultan was trying to hard to find an answer to his questions, but still no answer can be given to him, his generals and loyal servants were all concern about the well being of their chivalrous leader. It was then while they were dining, a two tailed fox ran in and inform the sultan of an important visit. "Mighty Sultan, your emissary, Baranthor has returned from the Kingdom of Jerusalem!" The fox pants heavily as the mighty eagle, sultan Beleram, went out to meet his Prime Minister Baranthor the eagle. "Greetings my brother Baranthor, welcome back from Jerusalem. What news is our brother in Jerusalem?" The other eagle wearing a royal turban then spoke to his sultan in a calm tone. "The king of Jerusalem has treated me well mighty Sultan, just as he treated our brothers in his kingdom. Baldwin is young and resourceful, and he has yet to taste the sting of betrayal, treachery and dishonor. Rest assure Beleram, Baldwin will respect our treaty until his death. But that is what i am concern about."

"What is it about Baldwin that concerns you Baranthor?" Beleram was curious about his prime minister's statement about Baldwin the 4th of Jerusalem. "The young king is leprous my lord. I saw his right hand is riddled with diseases. He wears an iron mask everyday, the physicians stated that Baldwin would not live to see his 30s. He will die in less than 10 years." Beleram was shocked when he heard of such news, it's true that the king of Jerusalem at that time was leprous, a sickness that once caught, would be hopeless to cure. At that same time the eagle sultan knows that there is a chance that he can wage war against Jerusalem and win, but he must be patient, he must wait for that day to come. As the year went by, much has changed since the Battle of Montgisard, as Beleram expanded his empire from Egypt and Syria to the far reach of North Africa then to Mesopotamia, and further east. But at that same time, Baldwin grew weaker and weaker as his health deterioates rapidly, to make matters worse, there are religious zealots elements in his kingdom that are endangering his kingdom's own survival in the region. First is Guy de Lusignan, the husband of Baldwin's sister Sibylla, because of his marriage he has the right to claim the throne of Jerusalem and become king. But he was not to be trusted as a successor, for he is not an ideal who is wise, lead by examples and virtues, but a a man of indecisiveness, religious zealot and worst he has ties with the controversial Reynald de Chatillon. When speaking of Reynald, one must not forget about his behaviours, like when he asked the princess of Antioch in marriage he was denied by the archbishop of Antioch. The next thing he do to the said archbishop was torturing him to death in the dungeon. Then he sparks conflict with the Byzantine Empire by waging war for the island of Cyprus this led to break down in diplomacy between the dying empire who holds the important crossroad between east and west. Then he starts to use his pirate fleet in the Red Sea to terrorize Muslim traders and threatens Mecca and Medina.

As for sultan Beleram, his empire has finally reach its height in 1186, but now he was waiting, waiting for a moment to strike at the kingdom of Jerusalem and take back the holy city from the Christian invaders. But must importantly is to take out Reynald de Chatillon, there have been news about Reynald's raids against Muslim caravans and pilgrim,a blasphemy by all accounts, the Sultan must strike but he needs the Kingdom of Jerusalem to be the one who fire the first shot of the war. And the opportunity that the sultan was waiting for will come to him.
