Sufi Rumi's quest for understanding himself and his self-understanding philosophy drove him to leave his native country during the Mongol invasion and travel to the West.
Rumi has a prophetic presentiment that harbingers the coming of the Mongol hordes to the Seljuk State, while some begrudge him his elevated person in Konya.
With superior military prowess, the Mongol commander Baiju charges at the Erzurum Fortress while Rumi is on the verge of an epiphany in Konya.
Baiju eventually captures the Erzurum Fortress while Rumi in Konya discovers ethereal secrets by way of taking care of a moonling.
Rumi struggles with the sedition spreading against him as a Mongol sympathizer while the Sultan learn that the Sivas and Erzincan Fortresses have been sacked by Baiju Noyan.
Söktay is released after a hard incarceration by Esfahani as he wants Söktay to instigate speculations against Rumi.
Rumi accepts Baiju's son Söktay into his madrasa. Despite his spying goal, he is deeply influenced by Rumi's teachings.
"The Sultan decides to declare war against the Mongols while Söktay's cover is blown followed by a death warrant."
Rumi takes Söktay as his protege as his death would instigate an absolute war between the Seljuks and Mongols.
None of the vassal principalities back the Seljuks against the Mongols while Ertuğrul Gazi makes a surprise emergence for support.
Shams sets out after a vision akin to Rumi's and in an inn he is revealed to leave for Konya which is to initiate Shams' real journey.
