Assassin's Creed fan-made film 'Initiation' available today

When the folks at The Duo Group aren't busy making short films, animations, or advertisements for various entertainment companies,

they make ...short films and animations just for the fun of it. Case in point, the recent Assassin's Creed fan film "Initiation,"

which provides a prologue piece on Altair joining the assassin's guild.

Though the whole 10-minute shebang is set to be released sometime today, we can only provide the teaser still above and a preview

after the break for the time being. We did, however, watch the entirety of "Initiation" this morning, and can assure you it'll be worth your time

when it does finally arrive later today.

"The term 'Assassin' is considered to derive from the Arabic word Hashshashin (Arabic: حشاشون \ جماعة الحشاشين‎), the Arabic designation of the Nizari branch of the Ismā'īlī Shia Muslims during the Middle Ages. They were active in the coastal mountains of the Levant, then moved to Alamut by the Caspian Sea from the eighth to the fourteenth centuries. This group killed members of the crusaders, Abbasid and Seljuq élite for political and religious reasons, but mostly targeted the Sunni Muslims."

The funny thing is the word "Hashashin" has nothing to do with killing stuff...

What's even funnier, is that it means 'Hashish smoker/user' - translation: pothead XD XD

Thats it.

But back then they used to mix it with drinks not smoke it
