The story of Hasan Sabbah, Alamut Castle, the fedayeen and the gardens of paradise
On one side are the beautiful slaves who have just met Hasan Sabbah's earthly paradise, and on the other side are his most trusted warriors, the fedayeen. When they open their eyes in the paradise created by Sabbah, all of their lives change in an unexpected way.
The story takes place in Alamut Castle in 11th century Iran, where Hasan Sabbah, who declared himself a prophet, devises a crazy and at the same time clever plan to establish dominance in the region by turning a select group of people into suicide assassins. Sabbah, who creates a virtual paradise where beautiful women, lush gardens, wine and poppy seeds dazzle, convinces his young warriors that they can go to this paradise if they obey his orders. He thinks that he can intimidate the ruling class with this small army that has dedicated themselves to his path and is willing to die and kill. In his own words, Sabbah uses people's naivety and uses their devotion to religion as a tool for his political ambitions. Now the doors are wide open for him.
