Expeditions

Expeditions are a passive way to gain resources each hour while you are away and are a great way to grow on a continent without losing protection.

You can only have one expedition going at any time (regardless of continent) and you cannot attack others on the same continent where an expedition is running. Expeditions will also discover artifact locations, hero names, and clues to the secret city!

The minimum and maximun number of troops you can send to an expedition depend on your level on the continent your are starting a expedition from.

Expedition can be launched from the raid menu.
Намасарские орды

Намасарские орды – это обобщённое понятие племён, живущих на юге от Велуспета. Это племена варваров и дикарей настолько диких, что Сильверкост от них спасает только Велуспет и География. Здесь нет богов и нет королей. Лишь дикость природы, шаманизм и ярость. Иногда, «по велению духов», племена идут «по пути звезд и ветров» через весь Ашлин и нападают на более северные земли. Такие набеги всегда оставляют след в истории того или иного региона, написанный кровью и золой. К счастью, самое северное куда привел их «путь звезд и ветров» это южная граница Октаврина и то единожды. Интересный факт – возвращение всего племени пешком может занять в разы меньше времени, чем прохождения того же расстояния небольшим хорошо организованным отрядом кавалерии, что наталкивает на мысль о наличии магии телепортации у Намасров или о знании о порталах и «магических кротовых нов», о которых серебриты даже и не подозревают.
Şehzade Korkut

**Shezade Korkut** (Modern Yoman: شاهزاده کورکوت; b. 1517 Maşami Palace - 1558 murdered by Selim) was son of Bayezid the Great and Mihren Sultan. first Haseki Sultan of the Yoman Empire.

Melek Hatun/Pasha

**Melek** (Modern Yoman: فرشته; born in Bermethya - died 1237, Bakvaär Sanjak) he was a pasha with whom Işa I, still sanjakbey of Bakvaär, began a clandestine and secret relationship. He was named as **Paşah Melek Hatun** in the writings of Işa but since Melek was not a female name at the time it was understood that in reality he was a pasha.

Although the relationship between the two was not very long, in fact, lasting about a year, it was so deep that Işa stopped having relationships with the other women present in his harem until Melek's death in 1237.

## Life

A certain Melek Pasha from Bermethya was named in the list of pashas present at the accession of Işa as Sanjak-bey. Later Melek Pasha himself was appointed as vizier in the Bakvaär council.

Melek Pasha was sent as ambassador to Krapghar Khanate at the beginning of 1236, during the same period a certain Paşah Melek appears in a letter writing by Işa:

> blind and without sight, however, I am in the presence of my Paşah Melek...
>
>

While Paşah was both a title and a female name, it was initially believed that this Paşah Melek was one of his concubines but it is now thought that Işa devised a strategy to be able to send letters to Melek Pasha without anyone finding out.

Işa had his first child in 1235 and later in 1236 he had six or seven children. However, in 1237 he had no children indicating that his love for Melek was so deep that he stopped using his harem. However, it is believed that Çoban was born between 1236 and 1237, while some use this to discourage the theory that Işa was homosexual, others use it to give greater truth to the theory, in fact Çoban may have been born at the beginning of 1237 and therefore be conceived at least in the first 5 months of 1236, same months in which Melek Pasha was in the Krapghar Khanate.

Their relationship continued throughout 1237 until Melek Pasha's death between late 1237 and 1238. The last time Melek was mentioned was in October 1237 when the provincial council met. Then the same month Işa wrote to his father, the Eski Sultan, by refusing to participate at the birth of Vaher Bey, his brother:

> My heart cries and my love is in pieces because without the presence of my beloved concubine Paşah Melek I cannot breathe.
>
>

Melek Pasha and Paşah Melek Hatun disappear from the records of the time in the same period, making the theory increasingly credible. When a son was born in Işa in 1238 he named him Melek in honor of his deceased love.
Hümaşah Sultan (daughter of Mustafa I)

## Hümaşah Sultan

**Hümaşah Sultan** ( Ottoman Turkish : هماشاہ سلطان: c. 1565 - after 1586) was the daughter of Mustafa I of Ottoman Empire, half-brother of Iskender I, Ibrahim I and Selim II.

## Life

She was most likely born in 1565 in Manisa. Her mother's identity is unknown but she is thought to be the daughter of Sihiryna Sultan or Şihuzuban Sultan. Her date of birth and death, her exact name are not clear the Ottoman writer Anthony Alderson calls her "Hüma", and thus it is assumed that it was Hümaşah. Her marriage to Nişar Mustafazade Mehmed Pasha in the early 1580s indicates that she is Mustafa's eldest daughter. Her first her first marriage did not last long, her husband died in 1586.

Some argue that she could have married a very wealthy Egyptian pasha, possibly the Beylerbey but that she died earlier or otherwise records of this marriage are missing.

## Death

Turkish historian Necdet Sakaoglu also calls her Hüma, but notes that she could have been called Hümaşah. Turkish historian, musicologist and linguist Gultekin Oransay [tr] explains that Hüma or Hümaşah was married to Nişar Mustafazade Mehmed Pasha, and that she died shortly after her husband, and therefore when her father Mustafa was still Şehzade, Oransay writes to support Gultekin Oransay that had Hümaşah lived for another few years after her husband's death she might well have married another pasha, which she did not.

The presence of the wife of Nişar Mustafazade Mehmed Pasha is mentioned in the funeral list and therefore Hümaşah must have died after 1586 and before 1603 because she is not listed among Iskender's aunts.

She was entombed in her father Sultan Mustafa I's mausoleum.
Jalena Ivanovna

Jalena Ivanovna (Vilnius 2 May 1480 - 26 August 1515 Smolensk). She was the daughter of Ivan the Slav and his second wife Julena Sanderova. She married Aleksander Morozova in 1494 at the age of 14 she and 18 he.

## Early life

She has been described as very beautiful and well-bred, of medium height, a ruddy white face, with wavy blond hair and large eyes.

She was highly regarded at court, both by the servants and by the family. She and her father spent a lot of time together, walking and reading together. She was also linked to her brother Yevgeny as they were only born 5 months apart.

When her mother Julena was repudiated and subsequently the victim of a fire, possibly piqued by Ivan, Jalena locked herself in her rooms and let only her brother Yevgeny pass.

## Marriege and betrayal

In 1594 she married Aleksander Morozova at the age of 14.

In 1596 his father ordered the execution of his son Yevgeny due to disagreements between him and his third and new wife Karina Borisovna. This caused the relationship between Jalena and her father to harden.

Around 1500 her husband organized a revolt against Ivan, but the revolt was thwarted and Jalena had to escape with her husband and their son Ilyas to Moscow at the court of Vasili III.

After the resumption of Smolensk in 1514 Aleksander and Jalena moved to Smolensk as governors.

## Death

Two assassins were sent by Ivan, who was took advantage of the fact that Smolensk's security had failed, in August 1515 entered the Smolensk fortress and captured Jalena's husband, Aleksander, and killed Jalena along with her son Ilyas by throwing the bodies into a river.

Witnesses claim that Ivan himself would have killed his daughter, but this cannot be true since if Ivan had entered Smolensk he would have been recognized immediately.

However, he died suddenly in 1487, 4 years after his appointment to Ladrisa. The cause of death is unknown; since Murad badly wanted Mehmed to take the throne and Kasim had become a possible obstacle in the same way as Şehzade Şehinşah had become around 1484. Most likely Kasim was also put to death, however his sons survived until Mehmed's accession to the throne and so it is not certain whether he was executed, and maybe he died of natural causes.

His body was brought to Maha and buried inside the Muradiya complex.

Mirişah Hatun

**Mihrişah Sultan** (Modern Yoman: خاتون مهرشاہ ; "*Sun of the Şah*"; died after 1604), was a consort of Sultan Kasim I, and the mother of two of his daughters. He never obtained the title *sultan* as he never gave birth to a son. She is known as one of the most important *hatun* (non-royal family members).

## Life

Her origin are unknown, possibly she it came from the lands beyond the mountains. She enter in the harem of the governator of Ladrisa, Şehzade Kasim, at unknown age.

During Kasim's rule in Ladrisa Mahidevran focused on only 5 concubines, among which Handan and Mirişah. After the birth of Handan's first grandson, Şehzade Mustafa in 1548, Mahidevran made sure that Mirişah became the only concubine to enter in prince's rooms, so that she gave birth to a son to Kasim. Mirişah thus gave birth to two daughters in 1550: Fatma Sultan.

Around 1571, attempts were made to persuade Kasim to conceive a son. Kasim decided to accept Mihrişah back into his rooms, which means that they had a good relationship otherwise Kasim would not have tried to have a child with her. Although they tried to conceive a boy Mihrişah had a girl in 1573, Ismihan Sultan. Some also call her Esra Sultan and it is sometimes difficult to understand whether they were two separate people or the same person. Kasim however finally obtained the coveted son, Şehzade Mahmud. His mother Kaya Hatun obtained the title of "sultan" and a high salary and status in the harem, this caused Mirişah to fall more and more into oblivion and was finally sent to the Old Palace. Mirişah nevertheless received a higher salary than the rest of the other concubines in the palace.

After the death of Kasim Mihrişah he entrusted himself to the valid sultan Handan Sultan. When Mustafa deemed it necessary to remarry Mihrişah's daughters she appealed to Handan who acted on Mihrişah's behalf.

## Death

Mirişah Hatun it remained in the Old Palace until 1604 when the compromise between his daughter Fatma Sultan and Güzel Pasha was announced. She is then believed to be dead.

Ayşe Mihri Behri Sultan

**Ayşe Mihri Behri Sultan** (Modern Yoman: عایشه میهری بهری سلطان; died 1691) was the BaşHaseki of Sultan Mehmed IV and mother of his firstborn Fatma Sultan. Although Ayşe is not included in the Sultanate of Women during her time as Haseki she was highly respected and loved.

## Life

She possibly born around 1634 but her year of birth is unknown. Nothing is known about her before her entry into the harem. Possibly it was Eumenia Sultan who gave it to Mehmed IV as a concubine. Ayşe bore in 1650 the Sultan's first daughter, Fatma Sultan who was her father's favorite daughter. She later had twin girls, Rakşa Sultan and Zeynep Sultan. After that in 1659 she gave birth to her first son Şehzade Süleyman, the same year Mehmed named her Haseki Sultan, becoming the first and main (BaşHaseki) concubine.

Due to the Divan Division life in the harem had become difficult and Ayşe feared for the lives of her children. When she was made Haseki was allowed to visit the Valide Sultan who was in Edirne, on this visit she told all that happened to Eumenia, who had remained unaware of everything returned to the capital and settled in the harem together with his retinue. Eumenia took over the Reins of the Divan by dismissing all members included Sarı Pasha. Ayşe became highly respected in the harem not only due to her position as a haseki but due to the endorsement of the Valide. It is not known if she had more children but she certainly remained Mehmed's main and most beloved consort, since Thursday night was reserved for her. Some believe she had at least one other son but others contradict as there are not enough sources.

When Eumenia Sultan died in 1666 Rabia Şermi Sultan, the Second Haseki wanted to seize the moment and be made head of the harem, however this caused further rivalry between her and Rabia, rivalry which is believed to have led Ayşe Sultan to assassinate Rabia's son Şehzade Abdüllah in December of 1666 In the end, however, Mehmed appointed his guardian Dilhayat Kalfa.

After Mehmed's death in 1669 she was sent to the Old Palace. She received as Mehmed left in her will two palaces in the province of Muhtereme of which one he left to her daughter Rakşa Sultan and a salary of 1600 aspers.

She died in the Old Palace in 1691 during the reign of Ahmed I.

## Charity

Ayşe was very charitable during her years as Haseki, she built aqueducts and houses for the less fortunate and carried out renovation works in the mosques of the holy cities.
Mahmud I

**Mahmud** I

## Charity

The construction of the Nuruosmaniye mosque complex was commissioned on the order of Sultan Mahmud I in 1748 and completed under his brother and successor, Sultan Osman III, in 1755. It was named Nuruosmaniye, meaning "The light of Osman", after Osman III. [6]

## Family

* Şahihuban Sultan (died 27 April 1756, Topkapı Palace, Istanbul, buried in Nuruosmaniye Mosque). Second Haseki. She was Valide Sultan of Selim III;
Hatice Sultan (daughter of Murad II)

## Hatice Muazzez Sultan

**Hatice Muazzez Sultan** (Ottoman Turkish: خدیجہ معزز سلطان; "*respecful lady*" and "*precious*", born before 1465 probably in 1464 - died after 1496) was an Ottoman princess, the daughter of Murad II (reign 1469 - 1491) and probably Gülbahar Hatun, she was so the sister of Sultan Mehmed III (reign 1491–1515).

## Early life

was the daughter of Murad II and possibly her mother was Gülbahar Hatun. She born in Amasya when her father was the Sanjak-bey of Amasya. The year is unknown but if she was the daughter of Gülbahar Hatun she born in 1464 or anyway before the 1565 when her supposed blood brother Mehmed was born.

She followed her father's harem in the Old Palace when Murad II became Sultan in 1469.

## Marriage

In May 1474 Hatice married Damat Yahya Mahmud Pasha she was 10 years old and Murad decided to arrange the marriage with the pasha as he was rich and could guarantee Hatice a luxurious life. However Yahya Pasha died in July 1475 and the marriage was never consummated.

In 1481, Hatice married Ughurlu Muhammad, a son of the ruler of Aq Qoyunlu, Uzun Hassan. Ughurlu Muhammad had rebelled against his father and sought refuge from the Ottomans. Murad took him in and married him off to Hatice. Possibly the two fell in love and asked Murad to marry them as their marriage was the only exception, being that Prince Aq Qoyunlu could be considered a kind of added member of the Ottoman royal family.

Murad installed his new son-in-law in the frontier province of Sivas and promised to supply him with arms and men, with which he would vindicate his right to his patrimony when the time came. Ughurlu Muhammad was killed in the rebellion he attempted against his father in 1484.

From this marriage Göde Ahmed was born. Due to his father's death, Murad had his nephew brought to Istanbul. Ahmed married his uncle Sultan Mehmed III's daughter Aynışah Sultan in 1496.

After that date there is no more news of Hatice, even if, according to some sources, she would have remarried with Sinan Pasha, an important statesman under Mehmed III, Sinan Pasha in fact married one of Mehmed III's sisters or one of his half-sisters (the other Mehmed's full sister, Rakşa Sultan was already married during the reign of Mehmed III) and the source does not mention the difference between full sister and half sister.

## Death

She probably died in her palace in province of Sivas or in Istanbul in the Old Palace or other palaces in the capital. She was buried in the Muradiye Complex in Bursa in her father Mausoleum.

She was the daughter of Haether Aember and was took together with her sister, Daemera by Süleyman during the fall of House Aember.

## Erly life

Yrene was born in Ka-Faer-cujon Castle, was the daughter of the Lady Haether Aember and her firts husband Joergio Aelber. She had a blood sister called Daemera.

Yrene was married in 1236 with the Lord of Blackstones, their marriege was a opportunity to Aember family to be more powerful then they just were. It possible that her husband, Laeremier Blackstones was sterile and they don't had a heir.

## Fall of House Aember

Yrene was in the Aember Castle during the Suleyman's attack. It said that she was running away from the chaos. Is not really clear if it was true but it said that some men that found the woman were about to rape her but Suleyman intervened and saved her, is more possible that she was rape like every women who was present in a raid and Suleyman, which was present in the raid, was one of her rapist and decided to take her a concubine. However it's much more certain that she was near to her mother or somehow it was clear that she was one of the aember princesses and that Suleyman had already targeted them as possible concubines. This fact is reinforced by the fact that we know the identity of the woman as princess which perphaps would not be so clear if she had been raped, since she could be mistaken for a citizen along with any other women.

## Life in the harem

Some historicians say that she didn't impose resistence to Suleyman and that she acepted fast her new life. However is not a good thing romanticize the concubines life, very possibly her suffered in the first time and is really really possible that Suleyman raped her, this is thinking due the fact her son Melek Çelebi was born only a year after the fall of House Aember in 1254, suggesting that given the sadness of having lost her family and house and still not beign able to bear a sexual act due to this fellings, Suleyman was so attracted to the woman that he raped her.

## Sadıka Hatun

**Sadıka Hatun** (Yoman Language: سادیکا هاتون died 27 January 1254) was a consort of Orhan I, and the mother of his first son, Süleyman Mustafa Bey.

## Life

Sadika's origin is uncertain, possibly a simple slave sold to Yoman's palace and later offered to Orhan. Another theory suggests that she was a slave offered by one of Yoman's allies at the 1206 meeting.

Sadika was the first of Orhan's consorts to become pregnant and possibly had been designated by Orhan or Yoman himself as the mother of the prince's firstborn. Subsequently Sadika took second place in the hierarchy of the harem and was no longer pregnant, however Yoman in his will inherited two residences in the Servit province, one near the sea and one in the hinterland next to the hills, probably out of gratitude for the fact that she gave birth her son's eldest.

The last time Sadika is mentioned while still alive is when she received her last annual wages in 1253.

Sadika fell victim to a fire in January 1254 that devastated the harem of the Yşryin palace.

Süleyman's inability to mend his relationship with his father Mustafa was caused by the absence of his mother, Karihüse Sultan who was exiled at the end of 1590, to lobby on his behalf.
