Near the end of the second cycle, Sulaiman successfully predicted a planned naval attack by [[Ashtan]] upon his city. In defensive preparation, he scuttled Shallam's old ships within the [[Peshwar Delta]] to prevent any oceangoing assaults of Ashtan from reaching Shallam. This prompted the [[Priest]] [[Aquinas]] to seek audience with King [[Martin]] the Wise in an attempt to deter [[Ashtan]]'s ultimately doomed attack, based not on leaked Shallamese intel but out of concern for the effects that a full-scale land war might have on [[Sapience]]'s peasantry.
