War between the Brothers

History Hit & Assassin's Creed
About this episode

Muslims spilled a lot of ink pondering what good government should look like, what a wise ruler should be like, and why it mattered for society. And this is the type of political intrigue that makes Baghdad, the city of Peace, into a place of civil war. The War of the Two Brothers starts on the Night of the Three Caliphs, where the succession of the throne is shaped by the death of one caliph, the ascension of another, and the birth of a third… it’s a turning point… will Baghdad survive it?


An original Ubisoft series, produced by Paradiso Media.
