#I wonder if the shift in priorities from scholarly to militaristic due to the period context contributed to it

[fanworldbuildingfun]

I have a mighty need for my reading list now and for the first one? I’ll even dust off my over decade-unused French

(Though the issue is, I can’t seem to find any electronic version of the book up for purchase? Which is dowrnight odd and regrettable)

This one is supposed to be set a short time before Valhalla, during time Basim Ibn Ishaq was active in Constantinople

The fun thing is, as you are playing a French Hidden One (or Frankish, I suppose, would be more correct?), it would echo to Siege of Paris DLC and to how active the branch actually is. The DLC only hints on it, so having more backstory to go along with the hint? Would be most welcome. Moreso given that the Francia branch survived - unlike the Brittania branch

And oh hear, this one. April, I await you - for this one is supposed to center on Hytham. And Basim, naturally, seeing as this one is also set in Constantinople. I’m custious about this part, specifically:

Hytham’s brotherhood have entrusted him with uncovering where Basim’s true loyalties lie and whether the master Assassin’s personal obsessions outweigh his sense of duty

Because whoo boy. If Valhalla is anything to go by, things did NOT go the way Hidden Ones expected them to
