|-|The 13th Diplomat=
In 921, Ahmad ibn Fadlan travelled form Baghdad to central Russia where he met a mysterious Northern people. He was the first Muslim scholar to make an account of their strange habit of burning their dead kings with their ships.
|-|3999 Instead of MMMCMXCIX=
Al-Khawarizmi was a House of Wisdom mathematician best known for giving his name to the notion of "algorithm", his work on algebra (al-jabr), and his diffusion of the Arabic-Indian Numeral system.
|-|The Abbasids=
The Abbasids were descendants of al-Abbas, the uncle of Prophet Muhammad. This lineage (and their military might) helped them serve as Caliphs, or Muhammad's successors, from 750 to 1517.
|-|The Anarchy at Samarra=
Between the assassination of al-Mutawakkil in 861 and the ascension of his son al-Mu'tamid to the throne in 870, four Caliphs reigned from the palatial city of Samarra as puppets of powerful military factions.
</tabber>
<tabber>
|-|The Banu Musa's Roulette=
The Banu Musa invented a human-like automaton for Caliphal parties. Filled with wine, after a time it would release its liquid onto the person unlucky enough to be holding it, much to the amusement of the other guests!
|-|The Bureaus=
Hidden Ones operate out of Bureaus. These are hidden from sight and accessible only by members of the organization. Each Bureau is helmed by a Rafiq.
|-|Caliph Instead of the Caliph=
The sprawling offices of the Round City hosted an increasingly centralized administration. As its master, the Vizier was both an essential servant and a potentially deadly enemy of the Caliphs.
|-|An Essential Material=
Introduced to Baghdad from China and Central Asia at the end of the 8th century, cheap paper quickly replaced costly parchment and lead to the emergence of a strong reading culture in the Abbasid empire.
</tabber>
<tabber>
|-|Of Falcons and Men=
Animals featured heavily at court: flocks of hunting falcons, silk-clad elephants and a monkey dressed as a general were trained to provide exotic entertainment to the palace guests.
|-|"The Father of Understanding"=
Ascribed to a divine being, the title "Father of Understanding" dates back to Isu times and reflects the Order of the Ancients' mission to guide humanity towards their idea of enlightenenment.
|-|Flying Cars in the Year 1500?=
The Muslim calendar starts with the Hijra, the migration of Prophet Muhammad from Mecca to Medina in 622. Mirage is therefore set in the 3rd century After Hijra (AH). As of September 2023, we are in 1445 AH.
</tabber>
<tabber>
|-|The Founding of Baghdad=
Baghdad was built from scratch between 762 and 766 at the order of Caliph al-Mansur. At first only the Round City was planned, but soon densely populated areas sprawled beyond its walls.
|-|From Baghdad with Love=
Abbasid glasswork was considered valuable throughout Europe and Asia. It has been discovered in 9th century royal burial sites in Korea as well as on a Carolingian brooch recovered from the Ballycottin bogs (Ireland).
|-|The Harem: Poetry and Politics=
Far from being the steamy brothel often described in western culture, the harem was first and foremost a space dedicated to child raising, poetry writing, and political rivalry.
|-|The Hidden Ones=
The Hidden Ones were founded in Egypt in 47 BCE. Working in the dark to serve the light, the organization aims to fight oppression and to safeguard the people's free will.
</tabber>
<tabber>
|-|The Isu=
A highly advanced civilization, the Isu lived on Earth around seventy-seven thousand years ago and were the original creators of humanity.
|-|A Little-Known Tale=
Inspired by Indian and Persian literature, the "1001 Nights" was created in 9th century Baghdad. Book critics of the time found it crude and unimaginative, predicting it would fail to attract any attention.
|-|The Mongol Sack=
Baghdad was sacked by the Mongols on February 10th, 1258. Killing people and burning books, they are said to have created "streams of blood and rivers of ink", destroying most of the pre-1258 city in the process.
|-|Not Much of a Palace=
The caravanserai was a "palace (saray) for groups of people (karvan)". But most caravanserai looked more like empty shells in which travelers could find safety for the night, share news … and pay taxes!
|-|The Order of the Ancients=
Aiming to achieve order and control over the masses through any means possible, the Order of the Ancients was founded in Egypt in 1334 BCE by the Pharaoh Smenkhkare.
</tabber>
<tabber>
|-|The Order's Hierarchy=
Each branch of the Order of the Ancients has several prominent Members. These lead their own sub-branches, and are themselves led in turn by a single Head of the Order.
|-|Party Favors=
During Caliph al-Mamun's wedding in 825, perfumed shells containing the names of prizes were distributed to the guests. Whoever received one was then given what was written on it, be it a small item or an entire town.
|-|Party Like a Rockstar=
Poetry schools competed for the attention and the patronage of the Caliphs. The ultimate prize? To have the ruler tear off a part of his silk-embroidered clothing and throw it at the poet!
|-|The Pieces of Eden=
The Order of the Ancients intend to use these ancient and elaborate pieces of Isu technology to control the population and revive the Isu.
|-|The Sacrifice=
The initiation ritual for becoming a Hidden One involves the sacrifice of a ring finger. Its removal ensures space for a retracted hidden blade, but is also a tribute to Bayek of Siwa, the original Hidden One.
</tabber>
<tabber>
|-|Sandcastles in Iraq=
Baghdad's environment was almost devoid of building materials and most of its houses were made of dried or baked mudbricks. This meant that its buildings had to be partially rebuilt after every storm.
|-|A Scent from the Sea=
In Baghdad, perfume was used in food, ink, and even mosque-building. One of the most sought-after perfume ingredients was Indian ambergris, a solid substance found in the digestive system of sperm whales.
|-|The Silk Road=
From China to Europe, medieval merchants travelled on a network of routes collectively known as "the silk road". Set in the middle of this network, Baghdad served as one of its main hubs and hosted many of the world's most exquisite creations.
|-|Sinbad's Ancestor=
"The Accounts of China and India" recounts the five-month journey of Sulayman al-Tajir from Baghdad to Guangzhou in 850. He is one of the earliest named people to have travelled that far for trade!
|-|The Sixth Sense=
Known as Eagle Vision, Odin's Sight, Eagle Sense and other names through the ages, this extrasensory ability is a manifestation of a strong Isu gene concentration in an individual.
</tabber>
<tabber>
|-|The Tenets=
The original Hidden Ones had two tenets to their creed: to work in the shadows and to only kill those who deserved it. A third tenet, to never compromise the Brotherhood, was added later.
|-|The Tree of the King=
In the Caliphal Palace stood a large tree made of 1400 kilograms of silver, its branches crowned with mechanical birds. The leaves appeared to move with the wind and the birds to burst into song whenever ambassadors appeared in front of the Caliph.
|-|What is in a Name?=
Arabic language names are based on a chain of names systems, with each part having a meaning. Calling the Caliph Harun al-Rashid "Mr. Rashid" would therefore have been a terrible mistake.
|-|The Zanj Revolt=
The Zanj were enslaved persons taken from south-eastern Africa and used for harsh manual labor on sugar cane plantations. Their revolt between 869 and 883 decisively weakened caliphal power.
