According to Mr. Polo, a portion of the Assassin fortress
in Alamut had been converted into a beautiful secret garden
fashioned after the paradise described in Mohammed's
visions of Heaven. The garden grew almost every imaginable
type of fruit and was watered with streams of wine, milk,
and honey. The palaces were beautifully ornamented and
had a company of singers, dancers, and musicians. If certain
young men in the region showed promise as potential murderers,
they were drugged, usually with opium or hashish,
and taken to the secret garden. There they were pampered
for a few days and nothing was denied them, including
women. They were then drugged again and returned to
their homes. The young men believed that Assassin leaders
had transported them to Heaven and back. Eager to return,
the young men would gladly follow the instructions of their
Assassin leaders. The heaven-struck underlings were often
told that a return to paradise lay in boldly assassinating a
targeted enemy leader. The young assassin was instructed
to wait in a public place and strike down the victim with a
dagger as the victim passed by. Because the young assassins
would often be killed on the spot or be later executed, they
were made to believe that their death at the scene of the
crime or by later execution would result in a return to the
paradise they remembered.
