3-10: Mecca And Medina

Instead of bringing peace, the Umayyad victory at Karbala brings even more instability to the Empire. Now the Muslims of Mecca and Medina are more determined than ever to shake off the Umayyad yoke.

In Mecca, Abdullah ibn Zubayr is quietly building his support. He refuses to openly oppose Banu Umayyah, but everyone knows he’s up to something.

In Medina, Yazid is quickly losing his grip. Everything he does turns the Muslims of Medina against him even more.
