In ancient Rome, from the time of the Republic, high-ranking priests or members of the Senate wore iron rings, later gold rings, and still later, in the medieval period, rings were worn by Catholic hierarchs. The cardinal's ring is a tradition dating back to the 9th century and is made of gold, engraved with a scene from the crucifixion of Jesus. After being appointed by the Pope, cardinals receive a ring that signifies a stronger bond with the Roman Pontiff and the Church. To obtain This valuable and sacred ring only requires your Catholic priest to become a cardinal, and the Pope's favor will reward your services by granting you this high status.Non-transferable.

The Nizari (whose detractors call them Hashshashin) are a Middle Eastern sect, a branch of Ismaili Shia Islam that gained worldwide notoriety during the Middle Ages for its armed wing, active between the 10th and 13th centuries. It became famous from the 11th century onward, when it reached its peak power under the Fatimid dynasty, for its strategic use of targeted assassinations against political and military leaders, as well as kings. The sect was established around 1090 by Hasan-i Sabbah, known as the "Old Man of the Mountain," who captured the impregnable fortress of Alamut in present-day Iran. This heretic title is only granted to the "rebel" faction with a heretical religion, generally in the famous fortress of Alamut.They will spread their faith quickly and it can cause religious revolts in your settlements.

Warriors who bore such weapons were often regarded with respect and apprehension, their blades reflecting both craftsmanship and reputation.. This valuable and expensive damascene sword is only obtained by skilled generals.Your general needs to have more than 4 stars in command, spend a turn in Damascus, and have an armourer or higher level in that settlement.

The Dean of the Sacred College of Cardinals was the highest ecclesiastical authority immediately after the Pope in the medieval Latin Church. As primus inter pares among the cardinals, he presided over the College and wielded decisive influence over the spiritual and political direction of Christendom.From Rome, the Dean acted as guarantor of the institutional stability of the Papacy, especially in times of crisis, vacancy, or conflict. His moral authority allowed him to guide councils, legitimize doctrinal decisions, and ensure the continuity of ecclesiastical governance.Although formally subordinate to the Pope, his real power made him one of the most influential figures in medieval Europe, surpassing patriarchs and primate archbishops in prestige and spiritual authority. To obtain this title you need to be Catholic and have your priest spend a turn inside Rome, and no religious figure can already have this title.This religious office can be transferred to another priest.

This Byzantine epic details the life of the hero, Digenes, a man of mixed Roman and Syrian blood. The first part of the epic details the lives of his parents, how they met, and how his father, an Emir, converted to Christianity after abducting and marrying Digenes' mother. The remainder tells of Digenes superhuman feats of bravery and strength: like his father, he carries off the daughter of another Roman general and then marries her; he kills a dragon; he takes on the so called apelates, a group of bandits, and defeats their three leaders in single combat.
