    to add, the word "حشاش" "Hashash" which is the singular of "حشاشين" "Hashashin" was adopted by them as the word in itself may be taken as the "doer of Hashish (which in common language in Arabic word means some type of cannabis, but in origins is the noun for "Grass")" so they adopted the word as they imagined themselves Decapitating their enemies heads, as they would do with grass.

I do not know how much of it is true but i hold them in high regards.

      Where do you think the creators of Rhas Al Ghul got atleast some of the inspiration for him and his League of Assassins/League of Shadows, depending which version is being referred to. Ever since Rhas was first introduced into Batman Comics, they seem to alternate the naming of his league every decade or so between the two.

President Roosevelt knowing all of these horrors, said: "Trujillos an SOB but he's our SOB". nothing new. a Dominican friend told me that Trujillo was so racist and hateful of Haitians that he insisted the "Merengue" came from Haiti and was not Dominican.

      Prometheus Is Cold I’ve been playing quite a few AC games recently, and seeing as I’ve sunk just about 200 hours into Odyssey and its expansions completionist style I’d say it’s worth it. I have Origins on my desk for that reason. The only thing in Odyssey is that literally everything levels up with you, which is a hit or miss depending on what you prefer. You always get a decently balanced challenge, with more abilities and upgrades to play with.
      I somehow got AC3 and AC Liberation for free, and AC3 was ‘aight, but getting that 100 % sync is too infuriating at times than what I’d recommend attempting, so much so that it ruins that feeling you’re supposed to have at the end of a game. Just don’t try it. Some parts are so broken you have to find ways around what you’ve previously been taught by trial and error and consulting forums. Like that feckin wolf ambush when you’re on a reasure hunt. How was I supposed to know that the creators expected me to use silent poison darts? Outrageous.
      AC Liberation had an interesting concept in theory with the wardrobe changes, but it still forced specific outfits onto the questline which made the mechanic feel superfluous. I mean, why give us choice if we can’t choose? Overall I never felt all that involved in whatever was happening. Traversing the city and swamp felt really clunky compared to both AC3 and Odyssey. Thank goodness that’s over. Meh.

    3. Hassan's revenge against his old friend Vizier Nizam (Big Boss and Major Zero/ Cipher),

    Yes im from Iran and i visited Alamut castle of hassan sabah 3 day ago. It was an absolute beauty! Everything about this castle is great and it gives you some positive energy! Unfortunately only 30 percent of this beautiful ancient place is discovered by archeologists and about 70 percent of them is not discovered yet due to the budget and money. unfortunately the government doesn't care about this ancient and important place like many other ancient places. There are lots of mysterious spots in this castle. For example there is a pond in one room of this castle which always have water in it even if you take all water out it will fill again of water. Such a mysterious place! It is located above the highest mountain and Alamut means the Nest of eagles and because of that we always see an eagle in AC games. Ubisoft should make a real game from the real story not fake ones.
    Also Many people had tried to attack this place but they didn't succeeded because the castle was too invincible.
    Until Holaku khan mongul ruler attacked after years of waiting and then he burned and destroyed the castle and they burned one of the largest and greatest libraries which was located in the Alamut castle and god knows what was those books about and it's so sad that we lost them.
    The castle has been rebuild and repaired 5 times and some people says Some treasures are hidden there.

    " I was 11 years old when I killed my first man. I remember the look in his face when the light went out behind his eyes. Such a sudden change, almost imperceptible, between life and death. And I felt ashamed. I had stolen from that man the most precious gift of all - life. But I also felt something else - pride, because I had taken up arms against someone who sought to do ill against my family. And I realized what I had done was necessary. You see... I had replaced evil with death. And that... is what the league exists to do. And I have killed several thousand more men since then. And the world is better for it."

Nizari Ismailis outlived mongols, and didn’t disappear them.
