4.01 - Palace of the Blind

Once the greatest city on earth, Tumanbay has fallen into the hands of two opposing warlords: the Grand Master Amalric (Anton Lesser), leader of a fearsome religious order of knights; and Fatima (Kirsty Bushell), ambitious wife of a provincial governor who exerts total control over the weakened young Sultana Manel (Aiysha Hart). Manel’s uncle, the spymaster Gregor (Rufus Wright) has been banished to a madhouse in the furthest deserts, after having claimed to have seen the Sultana’s murdered lover, Alkin. Gregor is convinced Alkin’s return from the dead heralds the end for Tumanbay and he must do everything in his power to get back to save it. Tumanbay is created by John Scott Dryden and Mike Walker.

The world's greatest artist Piero has arrived from across the seas with his assistant Angel.

The blind Grand Master Amalric (Anton Lesser), leader of a fearsome religious order of knights, has his own plans for the city, plans that involve the religious figurehead, the Hafiz. But the Hafiz has gone missing. The only person who can find him is spymaster Gregor (Rufus Wright) who is languishing in the Palace of the Blind, a madhouse in the desert where unwanted officials and rulers are exiled.
