Intro. In the heart of the capital of Baghdad, in the middle of the ninth century, around 860 AD, the Abbasid state ruled a vast world, and the caliph sat on a throne around which the balance of power was shaken, between ministers, leaders, and governors, each with his own ambition and his own secrets.
At that time, Baghdad was the center of political decision-making, where the affairs of the state were managed in palaces, conflicts were fought in secret, and fate was sometimes made by a word... Sometimes with a knife in the shade.
In this turbulent climate, groups that operated outside the authority of armies and courts emerged, believing that influence was not confronted by crowds, but by precision and secrecy. Among these groups, the Assassins, who later emerged in the eleventh century, were known and their name was associated with Hassan al-Sabah, the founder of their organization and their most prominent leader.
They did not rule cities, they did not raise flags, but they influenced politics from the heart of it, and they overthrew influential men with one calculated blow, when armies are indecisive.
This is not an imposed narrative, nor is it a prescribed path... You are the one who chooses: Create your own character, choose your position in this conflict, and live your life the way you want
