This is an expansion of the Historica Arcanum bundle from Metis Publishing, released last year, a very well-researched fantasy middle-East setting from a group of Turkish authors and historians who really know the region and its history. This one covers the Crusades, and should have a different perspective to the usual westernized view of these wars. You will probably need the Historica Arcanum rules (from the previous bundle or available from the usual sources), which are a greatly modified version of D&D 5E.

Last time I said "researched by people who are very familiar with the real historical culture, not the usual Hollywood / Weird Tales westernized and garbled version of it that turns up in the few games that even mention the Middle East." and went on to say "This is a very interesting idea, supported by an impressive amount of material including audio recordings, and makes me wish that I like fantasy RPGs more than I do. I suspect that a good few fantasy and SF authors could benefit from some of the research that has gone into into it. At this price it's a real bargain." I think that this is true for this expansion too.
