In a millennium, neither too distant nor too close, in the era when magic and sorcery were popular, in a land overshadowed by the Tirag mountain ranges amidst a high plain, the first rotating castle with two towers named "Alamout" was constructed for the first time, by a sorcerer named Daturin and his allies. The castle was surrounded by ravines and was accessible only through a single path through the mountain and amidst two valleys. Although it stood above the plains of the ancient city of Arsasia, it was not visible to the people during the day.
