(WitN Part 28) To Bender and Back

from The Drunken Scholar · host Devan Claeys

Charles XII goes into a self-imposed exile in the Ottoman Empire (1709-14) hoping to convince Sultan Ahmed III to enter the war. Given residence at an estate in Bender, Charles's stay is anything but boring, but during his extended stay the Swedish Empire is losing ground. New enemies also begin to enter the war, hoping to capitalize on Sweden's weakened state.
