The Institute of Ismaili Studies has already dedicated two works to the topic — Farhad Daftary’s Assassin Legends and Peter Willey’s Eagle’s Nest, as well as references found in Shayesteh Ghofrani’s Ismailis in Iran, Miklós Sárközy’s The Early Nizari Ismailis and their Neighbouring Powers, and the Secondary Curriculum’s Encounters in Muslim History.\n\nRecently, the legends have taken on a renewed currency in digital media, primarily through the Assassin’s Creed video game franchise (Ubisoft, 2007 onward) and TV shows like Awakening: The Great Seljuk and Saladin: Conqueror of Jerusalem (Akli Film, 2020 and 2022 respectively) and the most recent The Assassins (Synergy, 2024).
