Towards the setting Sun sailed her warriors,
But burned by brightness and drowned by iron,
Dreams of empire must twice be abandoned.

 

[NedimNapoleon]

Setting sun, salining west?
Burned? Soposibly some naval conflict?

 

[strijder20]

Greek fire used against the Arabian fleets?

 

[Milarqui]

Hmmm...

I would say the Ottoman Empire, and the "Dreams of Empire must twice be abandoned" would be the Siege of Vienna and the Battle of Lepanto.

 

[NedimNapoleon]

I dont think so, the Ottomans didn't sail "west". Maybe the Vikings? Sailing to the Americas, when they die the are put in boats with their weapons "iron" and "burned"?

 

[W|M]

The Battle of Midway?
