Greetings, Hidden One.

In the shadows of the Round City of Baghdad, the 'City of Peace', we have need of your talents. We need you to gather lost pieces of an astronomical instrument called an Astrolabe. It is said that this Astrolabe will guide the bearer on a path to an invaluable treasure hidden somewhere in the desert around Baghdad. If you can locate this treasure, it will give us the resources needed for our fight against the Order of the Ancients.

Your mission: Acquire the pieces of the Astrolabe, assemble them to discern a path, and find the hidden treasure.

We work in the dark to serve the light.

The Hidden Ones.

Byzantine Ambassador

Abbasiyah Bureau

An ambassador from the Byzantine Empire has arrived in the city. He plans to give a piece of the Astrolabe as one of his gifts to the Caliph. Our informant says that the piece will be in a small Abbasid style chest carried by a servant with a missing finger. Gain access to the chest as they go through the Bazaar and replace the piece inside with something suitable before it reaches the Caliphal palace. Just be careful to avoid creating a diplomatic incident!

My Brother’s Keeper

Harbiyah Bureau

A member of the Hidden Ones was careless while returning from a mission to gather a piece of the Astrolabe and was imprisoned for thievery. Hopefully he has managed to hide the Astrolabe piece on his person. It is up to you to salvage the operation; you must infiltrate the prison and get your Hidden One Brother out at once.

Water, Water Everywhere

Karkh Bureau

A collector of precious art wishes to acquire a Tiraz but cannot do so through normal avenues due to restrictions imposed by the Caliph. He has acquired a piece of the Astrolabe and is willing to hand it over in trade if we can provide him with a Tiraz. According to the Bureau, the Caliph just gifted a Tiraz to the Byzantine Ambassador. Follow the Ambassador, find out where the Tiraz is kept, and take it before the Ambassador leaves Baghdad.

The Road Most Travelled

Sharqiyah Bureau

It is the beginning of the Lunar calendar and we must increase our efforts to assemble the Astrolabe. The Hidden Ones have received information that an Astrolabe piece has just left the city with a Barid (Postal System) courier. Once he reaches the Caravanserai traveling the Silk Road through the Zagros Mountain pass, the courier will give the piece to an unknown agent of the Order of the Ancients and it will be lost to us. You must reach the Caravanserai quickly and obtain the Astrolabe piece before it moves beyond our grasp - go now!

The Caliph, the Thief, his Wife, and her Baby

Abbasiyah Bureau

A mysterious woman has solicited the Bureau through a confidential note. She says she is a wife among the Caliph's Harem, has recently given him an heir, and is now in terrible trouble. Should we agree to help her, she will give us a piece of the Astrolabe in thanks. Collecting pieces of the device is crucial, whatever the danger - you must enter the Harem, locate the Caliph's wife and find out how we can help her!

The Music of the Garden

Harbiyah Bureau

The teacher at a notable school for Qiyan (Singing Girls) has secretly approached the Hidden Ones offering to give us an Astrolabe piece as payment if we can help her school to win a poetry, debating and music contest against a rival school. The teacher wishes someone to hide in the gardens and secretly help her student during the competition. You must go to the Majlis (Intellectual Salon) in the Caliph’s gardens and attempt to help the Qiyan to win the contest. Good luck!

The Quick and the Dead

Karkh Bureau

The Bureau has heard that an agent from the Order of the Ancients has managed to locate and steal a piece of the Astrolabe. While attempting to escape, the enemy agent was injured and is now in the Bimaristan (hospital). You must make your way into the hospital and retrieve the piece of Astrolabe before it gets passed on to another member of the Order of the Ancients.

Dine Like a Prince

The Astrolabe

Harbiyah Bureau
