The first season is about the idea of nationalism, and how different societies understand their national identities. From France to Ethiopia, from the Delhi Sultanate to the Dutch Republic, we travel through time and space to explore the roots of cultures around the world, and how those national trends have shaped their history.

While Crusader armies dither outside Damascus, a Turkish warlord named Nur ad-Din would forge a new Syrian kingdom. His successor, Saladin, would transform that kingdom into an Empire. Meanwhile, court life in the Kingdom of Jerusalem devolves into a soap opera, with political and personal gain replacing any semblance of piety. When Saladin and the Crusaders inevitably clash, who will be the victor?

The First Crusade was far from “merely” a religious affair. National and cultural differences influenced the entire course of the crusade, from its inception at the Council of Clermont to its culmination at the Siege of Jerusalem in 1099. This is the story of thousands of knights and tens of thousands of common folk who sought their fortunes – and their salvation – thousands of miles from home.

The story of Serbia's entry into World War I is one of intrigue and diplomacy as much as armed force. A series of territorial disputes in the Balkans would cause Serbia and Austria-Hungary to become enemies. Meanwhile, a small faction in the Serbian government is hell-bent on uniting all ethnic Serbs into one nation - whatever the cost.
