Ideas for 1001 Arabian Nights-themed nations

[sector24]

Good post, Wrana! It was my understanding that the Mongol "influence" was to break up the hashashin as an organized force and relegate them to independent assassins for hire, bandits, or dissolve their members into more standard military (paramilitary?) orders. So basically somewhere in the timeline the assassin concept would either go away or the assassins would be inferior or lose sacred status or whatever they had in an earlier age.

However, I must admit my understanding of that time period is somewhere on the "wikipedia" level, and not the level of legitimate knowledge or understanding.
