The Cult of Hassan-i Sabbah

Admin Note: The following is part one of three part Tale. I’ll be releasing these fortnightly.  There’s a tale from the Medieval Near East that persists in the modern day - some of the details are somewhat accurate - some less so. Up in the mountains of Persia and Syria, in inaccessible mountain fortresses, lives a cult of fearless killers. Led by a prototypical James Bond Supervillain, known as the ‘Man of the Mountain’ the cult is greatly feared for its murders of many kings, generals, administrators and holy men. Just who were the infamous Assassins really? In Part One we look at their founder, Hassan-i Sabbah       The blog post of the episode is here.   Support the show on Patreon for just $2 a month and get access to exclusive content. At the current pledge level I post a bonus episode a month, and will add more extras as the channel grows.    Please leave a like and a review. The best way you can help support the show is to share an episode with a friend - Creative works grow best by word of mouth. I post episodes fortnightly, Wednesdays. Follow the show on Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest…. Yeah I know two of those are increasingly problematic - I may add more socials to the list in future - possibly remove a few?    Music, writing, narration, mixing all yours truly.
