Abstract
In an unnamed pagan country where the ruling kingdom worships the Deity Rey, Islam is starting to take root within the citizenry of the kingdom. Viewing this as a threat to his kingdom's legitimacy, the King orders his nephew, Tengku Bador, to eliminate the growing influence of Islam and the Muslim leader Murshid, promising his daughter's, the Princess Ratna Suri, hand in marriage in return. The Admiral Merah Hitam, envious of the King's attention on Bador, competes with Bador to drive the Muslim community out of the kingdom. As Bador and Suri become disillusioned by the mindless violence and pain he is ordered to enact on innocent civilians, they soon relinquish their pagan religion and convert to Islam. This turns them against the Admiral and the entire Kingdom, leading to a bloody confrontation and a subsequent revolution.
