Saladın: The Conqueror of Jerusalem

Saladin gained a powerful trump card in his fight against the Crusaders and captured Victoria and the Grand Master. However, during the exchange he plans to make for Askalan, an unexpected event occurs and the security of the Pilgrimage Road is endangered. This incident, which puts Saladin in a very difficult situation, causes him to face reactions from both Sultan Nureddin and Süreyya. On the other hand, the fact that Gabriel is aware of Saladin's moves indicates that there is a traitor in the palace. In the midst of all these crises, Saladin will need to both keep the captives and reveal the traitor inside. He takes action and puts forward a risky plan to achieve these goals. But the real betrayal will come from a place he never expected, and as a result, Sultan Nureddin will be assassinated.

Gabriel, who conquered Ascalan and caused great suffering to Muslims, died in a duel with Saladin. Nureddin, who came back to life, is very angry. He takes action to punish those who caused this and accuses Nusreddin of being a traitor and decides to execute him. As Victoria continues to escape, Saladin must catch them before the Crusaders. But Victoria falls into the hands of an unexpected person and all balances are turned upside down. On the other hand, another difficult obstacle awaits Saladin: A wild warrior named Gregor has sworn to avenge his older brother Gabriel. In response to the atrocities committed by Gregor, Sultan Nureddin and Saladin decide to besiege Askalan. But this will not be easy.

Nusreddin came to the palace unexpectedly and told Sultan Nureddin that he had learned that Saladin was not his real son. Saladin saved the captives from Gregor. Now it is time to conquer Ascalan with the participation of Sultan Nureddin. But Sultan Nureddin, whom Nusreddin threatens to reveal the secret, cannot go to the siege. This situation causes a harsh conflict on the front of Saladin and Sultan Nureddin. Gregor, who is fully vengeful towards Saladin, takes action immediately and kills the Alps and Halil that Saladin had rescued from captivity in a brutal move. Halil's death was met with great pain and anger in the Askalan tribe. In response to Gregor's action, Saladin virtually declares war. Nureddin is clear in his decision. He will not act without establishing unity with Muslim Gentlemen. Father and son come to a serious crossroads at this point, and Saladin sets out to fight alone.

Saladin and his companions engaged in a bloody war with Gregor and his strongest men. Saladin is about to defeat Gregor and take Ascalan, but the assassination of the Turkmen lords in the palace turns everything upside down. The tribes, who were summoned to form unity against the Crusaders, now drew their swords for revenge and stood against Sultan Nureddin. Faced with this great danger, Saladin begins to search for those responsible for the assassination that took place in the palace. A very secret and dangerous organization that has been sleeping for a long time has awakened again under the leadership of the Lord of the Mountain, and intends to end the peace among Muslims forever with the assassinations they carry out by hiding in the shadows! Saladin rolls up his sleeves to find the traitors who have infiltrated the deepest parts of the palace and the camps, on a path full of traps at every step, and reach the Lord of the Mountain.

Falling into the trap set by the Lord of the Mountain, Saladin was caught by Nusreddin with Izzeddin's corpse. While Sultan Nureddin was fighting sword with Böriler, he unexpectedly appeared as the Lord of the Mountain "Rashidüddin Sinan". While Selahaddin is arrested and taken to the palace to be tried, he escapes from Nusreddin's hands and goes after Reyhani to foil the game set on the state through him. He will not return without revealing the truth at all costs. Sultan Nureddin knows that Böriler will not be stopped any longer. In order not to shed brother's blood, he makes a decision that shocks everyone and takes İsmet Hatun as a prisoner and takes her to the palace. This move of Sultan Nureddin for unity will confuse the whole palace, especially Melike Hatun.

Selahaddin, with the aid of Reyhani's capture and execution for being an Assassin, learns the truth from Sultan Nureddin: he is not Nureddin's son, but rather Ayyub's. This revelation shatters Saladin, leading him to sever ties with Nureddin and his supposed family, feeling betrayed by the lies he's lived. Determined to pursue the Jerusalem cause alone, Saladin embarks on a new path. Meanwhile, Nusreddin, disillusioned after losing his secret, joins forces with Gregor and Victoria under Sinan's guidance, rebelling against Sultan Nureddin. Nusreddin declares himself sultan in Ascalan, dividing the Zengian state, and inciting tribes like Karategin to revolt against Nureddin, leaving the state in unprecedented peril.

Saladin falls into Gabriel's trap and sustains mortal wounds from Gabriel and Gregor. Sultan Nureddin quashes the threat of state division by eliminating his rebellious brother, Nusreddin. Believing there are no obstacles to his march on Ascalan, Sultan Nureddin postpones the conquest upon learning of Saladin's demise. Upon arriving at Saladin's headquarters, he is shocked to find Saladin dead, plunging both him and the Ayyubid family into profound grief. While Damascus mourns its hero, the Crusaders celebrate victory. Sultan Nureddin vows to avenge Saladin's death by conquering Ascalan. However, Eyyub's unexpected arrival sows doubt in their minds, raising the possibility that Saladin may still be alive and mobilizing everyone.

An unexpected miracle happened and Saladin, whom Karategin saved, was found safe and sound. Gabriel, who wanted to complete the job he left unfinished and kill Selahaddin, was caught by Selahaddin's comrades and his older brother Turanşah. Now Saladin will revolt and the conquest of Ascalan will take place. Gabriel will get what he deserves and will answer for what he did to Saladin. However, suddenly the Lord of the Mountain appears and saves Gabriel from the circle of death he fell into. Even though Saladin is dying to conquer Ascalan, there is only one thing on his mind... Süreyya... Süreyya is in captivity in the hands of his enemies in Ascalan. Moreover, they use him as a trump card to prevent the siege of Askalan. While Sultan Nureddin, who wants to put an end to blasphemy, is preparing his army for a siege, on the other hand, Saladin will race against time and throw himself into danger to save Süreyya from the clutches of death.

Saladin and Süreyya are entrusted with the administration of Ascalan by Sultan Nureddin, marking the beginning of new conquests for the Zengis under Saladin's leadership as "Emir Saladin." However, Gaza faces an unexpected disaster as Abram, a wealthy Jewish figure, leads a massive Crusader army to massacre Muslims. Selahaddin anticipates the impending massacre and acts to protect the people of Gaza, but Melik Mevdud, known as the "Tiger of Mosul," disrupts Selahaddin and Nureddin's plans by arriving in Ascalan.

Saladin, captured while trying to save his people, remains silent under torture, determined to protect his secrets. Avram seeks these secrets to neutralize the Zengi State and establish his own kingdom, while Gregor threatens to destroy Saladin's tribe if he doesn't comply. Sultan Nureddin faces a dilemma: save Saladin and risk his tribe, or let Saladin perish to preserve the state. Meanwhile, Mevdud manipulates events to thwart Saladin's tribe and continues his schemes through Karategin. The Ayyubids defend their camp against Mevdud and prepare for potential Crusader attacks, risking everything to safeguard their people and legacy.

Avram and Gregor conspire against Saladin, but Saladin escapes with the help of allies. Gregor considers a peace treaty proposed by Melik Mevdud, which would abolish Saladin's tribe, but Saladin interrupts negotiations. Sultan Nureddin warns Saladin against endangering the tribe or his state.

Abram caused Saladin to fall into the death trap he set, and Gregor surrounded Saladin's camp and took action to massacre the people in the camp. While Avram thinks he has captured Saladin, Saladin and his men stand up and start fighting, and he escapes from this battle with the help of the Secrets. Gregor, who took action to attack the Oba, is confronted by the Zengi army while he was about to attack the Oba. Moreover, Melik Mevdud is the leader of the army. Melik Mevdud offers an offer to Gregor, who resists raiding the camp.

Gregor raided Saladin's camp and took the entire tribe into captivity. Learning this, Selahaddin took action to save his tribe, but Melik Mevdud appeared before him and Selahaddin and Melik Mevdud came to blows. Sultan Nureddin was caught in the middle of the assassins. Selahaddin asks Melik Mevdud to get out of his way for the sake of his tribe. His only concern is to get the chest and solve all the issues before Sultan Nureddin comes. Realizing that Melik Mevdud will not retreat, Selahaddin escapes from Mevdud's grasp with one last move. Now he is both a fugitive from the state and his tribe is under great captivity and oppression.

aladin took action to save his tribe, which was occupied by Gregor, and managed to infiltrate the tribe by pretending to be captured. Avram, who met with Mevdud to take back the ark of the covenant, was cornered by Mevdud. Confronted with Saladin, Gregor escapes from the camp with a heavy defeat. Mevdud not only spoils Avram's game, but also confiscates the gold and releases Avram. While Saladin, who saved his tribe, was about to start preparations for the conquest of Gaza, he was once again shocked by a decision made by Mawdud. Mevdud, who cannot stomach the increasing rise of Selahaddin, appoints Karategin as the head of Selahaddin's tribe. While Selahaddin never accepts this situation, tensions arise between Karategin and Selahaddin, who come face to face again.

Despite his serious wounds, Saladin jumps into the river after Sultan Nureddin. The news that Sultan Nureddin fell into the river with a serious wound created a bombshell effect in the palace. Meanwhile, Mevdud takes action and searches are carried out in the place where Nureddin disappeared. Although Saladin managed to get out of the river he fell into, he was seriously injured. Despite everything, he sets out to search for Nureddin.

Saladin and Sultan Nureddin, who are in the middle of a large crusader army, resist them fearlessly, with the arrival of Ömer Mella, all the cards pass to Saladin. While Ömer Mella and Selahaddin's plan saves them from this circle of death, Victoria goes crazy. She has lost once again. Mevdud, who took control in Nureddin's absence and declared his sultanate, passes judgment on Shirkuh and Isfahani, especially Melike Hatun, who opposed him. Melike will be exiled from the palace, and Shirkuh and Isfahani will be executed. Sultan Nureddin's return to the palace at the moment of execution creates a shock effect. Sultan Nureddin very harshly demands an accounting from Mevdud and Melike, who caused chaos in his absence and put the state in a difficult situation.

Saladin killed Gregor and turned towards Gaza, causing Abram to put his other plan into action, and Bloody Bernard, whom Abram called, spread terror as soon as he arrived and not only brought Saladin face to face with death, but also captured Damascus. Taking action to save Saladin, Sultan Nureddin manages to save first Saladin's men and then Saladin himself. While Sultan Nureddin and Saladin take action to save Damascus, which was terrorized by the Crusaders, they receive the news that Damascus has fallen. Moreover, Süreyya, Melike, İsmet, İlbüke, Rabia and Isfahani are captives in the hands of the Crusaders.

Saladin, in collaboration with Sultan Nureddin, orchestrates a plan to infiltrate Damascus and succeeds in opening its gates. Shirkuh, poised to attack, is thwarted by Mawdud, complicating Nureddin's position. With Karategin's timely assistance, Nureddin escapes from Bernard and the Crusaders. Simultaneously, Saladin saves Süreyya and Rabia from Victoria and the Crusaders. Learning of Mawdud's betrayal, Nureddin faces further challenges as Damascus, fortified by Bernard, prepares for war. Saladin, familiar with Damascus, devises a strategy with Nureddin to reclaim the city. The sudden arrival of Seljuk Melik Dolat disrupts their plans, introducing new obstacles and turning their struggle into a power contest between Nureddin and Mevdud. The critical questions now are whether Nureddin can defeat Mevdud and whether Saladin can restore Damascus from Bernard's ruinous grasp.

Sultan Nureddin captures and punishes his treacherous brother, Mevdud, but spares his life due to their mother, Kutlu Hatun's, intervention. With Karategin's support, Saladin seizes Damascus and executes Avram for his crimes. Dolat, furious at Saladin's victory and Karategin's assistance, plans to retaliate by bringing an army from Anatolia, led by his son Iltutmish, to strengthen his hold in Zengi Lands. This tension strains Dolat's relationship with Nureddin. Seizing this conflict, Bernard enacts a plan to deepen hostilities between the Zengi and Seljuk states, aiming to ally with Dolat. The unfolding conflict raises critical questions: Can Nureddin counter Dolat's war declaration? Will Kutlu Hatun's influence shift palace dynamics? Can Saladin outmaneuver Bernard and quell the brewing discord between the Seljuk and Zengi states while advancing towards Gaza?

Amid the brewing war between the Zengid and Seljuk States, Saladin seeks to capture Bernard and prove his guilt in Iltutmish's murder by infiltrating Bernard and Victoria's wedding. Chaos ensues, but Dolat intervenes just as Saladin is about to capture Bernard. Dolat, suspecting betrayal, detains both Saladin and Karategin. With Saladin in Dolat's hands and Melike also captured, Sultan Nureddin must act quickly. Saladin proposes a plan to counter Dolat's actions, which Nureddin conveys to his state leaders. They seek time to deliberate on allegiance, knowing Saladin's execution would spark war. Meanwhile, Bernard plots to expedite Saladin's execution to ignite conflict. The unfolding drama hinges on whether Nureddin and Saladin can expose Bernard as Iltutmish's murderer and avert disaster.

Saladin captures Mawdud and nearly confronts Bernard, but Bernard escapes. Saladin tries to stop Dolat by making Mawdud confess his crimes, but Dolat dismisses the confession and demands war. As tensions rise, Karategin arrives with Gerard, providing evidence that Bernard killed Iltutmish. This revelation redirects Dolat's anger toward Bernard, neutralizing him as a threat for the moment. Saladin and Nureddin then head toward Gaza. Victoria, anticipating Dolat's hostility, gives Gaza to Dolat, making him Saladin's enemy once more. Key questions now are whether Dolat will exact revenge on Bernard, how Bernard will reclaim Gaza, what Nureddin will do with Mawdud, and whether Saladin can overcome Bernard's schemes and conquer Gaza.

Saladin and Nureddin, rallying the Turkmen Beys under the Zengid Banner, successfully conquer Gaza. Bernard, sentenced to death by the Papacy for losing Gaza, escapes and devises new plans. Queen Victoria attempts to secure peace with the Zengids, fearing for Jerusalem, but Bernard thwarts her efforts. Enraged, Melik Arslanshah arrives in Zengid Lands, aiming to dominate Nureddin and his beys, but Nureddin opposes him, leading to heightened tensions and danger. Bernard, driven by revenge, launches a large crusader army from Tripoli, maintaining an alliance with the Fatimids, and attacks the Zengids. The unfolding questions are whether Bernard will succeed in his vengeful plans, how Saladin will counter his strategies, what actions Arslanshah will take to undermine the Zengids, and if Saladin and Nureddin can withstand these pressures and continue their sacred march towards Jerusalem.

Saladin kills Mülhem to avenge Süreyya but runs into trouble when Temur's rescue attempt backfires, leading Bernard to recapture the beys and Karategin. This brings Arslanshah, Nureddin, and Saladin into conflict. Arslanshah, angry and blaming Nureddin, gathers soldiers against the Zengid State. Bernard demands Gaza for the beys' release, but Nureddin refuses. Determined, Arslanshah starts a siege on Gaza. Meanwhile, Karategin tries to escape Bernard's clutches. The stakes are high: Can Saladin free the captive lords? Will the Islamic Union survive Arslanshah's actions? And can Nureddin keep hold of Gaza, a symbol of their hard-fought victories?

Saladin saves Karategin and the beys, but Karategin is betrayed, shot, and falls off a cliff. Saladin pursues the assailants while Bernard aims to find them first. The escaped beys encounter Arslanshah, who manipulates them against the Zengids, blaming Saladin and Nureddin for Karategin's supposed death. Arslanshah seeks to lead the beys in a war against the Zengids. Saladin and Nureddin strive to expose Arslanshah’s true motives by finding Karategin, who may still be alive. The tension builds around whether Arslanshah can rally a war against the Zengids, what Bernard's next move will be, if Nureddin can reunite the Islamic Union, and if Saladin can uncover the truth about the attack on Karategin and dismantle Arslanshah’s scheme.

Sultan Nureddin faces a potential war due to Arslanshah's manipulations. Saladin and his Ghazis find Karategin amidst Maral's traps, but thanks to Ömer Mella, they rescue him. Nureddin aims to prevent bloodshed, but Arslanshah opposes him, cornered when Karategin returns unharmed. Bernard’s scheme sees Temur falsely denying shooting Karategin, leaving the beys indecisive and not uniting with either side. This disunity weakens the Zengis and allows Bernard to make a move on Gaza. Saladin must convince the beys to stay unified and take action against Jerusalem. Key questions arise: Can Saladin thwart Bernard? Will the Muslims reunite? Can Arslanshah’s true nature be exposed, and what challenges will Saladin and Nureddin face in their quest for Jerusalem?
