I am painfully cringing at this shameless plug, but I believe this is what the audience is expecting, and this seemed like a good place to include it. No worries, I will dismantle it later.


Fun fact: Dante uses the concept of the assassin as an allegory for love and lust, describing how a lover will submit to the object of his/her desire like the assassin obeys to the will of the Old Man of the Mountain

Hey, Arabic speaker here, the names are somewhat pronounced correctly. Good job

[dembeku]

Here in Mongolia 🇲🇳 some history classes teach their students that the order of the assassins were honorable and noble warriors that protected the poor and the interest of the people. I do not know how much of it is true but i hold them in high regards. And their leader, The Old Man of the Mountain, is said to continue living on by his next successors to instill the fear to the enemy of the hashashins, order and hope to the common folk.
Also, Gramps rules.
