Heading Overseas with the Baron's War
Assassins
A pair of sneaky individuals belonging to sect of Nizari Ismailis Shia Muslims led by the mythical Old Man of the Mountain. Orginating from Iran, the Assassins held a chain of forts in the Syrain Coastal Mountain range, forming an enclave between the Crusader States of Antioch and Tripoli on one side, and their Sunni Muslim neighbours on the other.
Famed for their use of political assassination, they also engaged in regular warfare, striking alliances with both Christians and Muslims.
