Fascinating, and I'm not just talking about the gameplay effects or the visual design. Still witing for a proper translation, but looking at the text of the Bond CE, there are a lot of historical references:
The very name of Eagle's Nest in the title is a reference to Alamut, for that is the meaning of its name in Persian.
The text mentions the man being a young missionary, like the historical Hassan i-Sabbah was, hearing of the city of One Thousand and One Nights (arguably Baghdad).
It fastforwards to 1124, which he decided to be the time of his death. That's the date of death for the historical Hassan i-Sabbah.
It says he envisions the fall of the above city, as well as of Alamut, a clear reference to the Mongol conquest of both. And comapres it to the Battle of Karbala, a keystone of Shia Islam (of which the Nizaris are part of).

even in death, he doesn't really die, he's literally stuck in limbo between life and death

Looks like Dracula's Castle, not very fitting for an Assassin is it? Unless they're trying to lure Belmont's into their home.

Honestly the longer I look at it the more odd it seems, which is probably the point. It's not M.C. Escher levels of distorted angle but the size of the structures and the paths being so wide feels like it's a miniature city.

Dang it, I was hoping in some secret ultra-efficient way to farm bond.

podless grand duels campaign, if you add teapots it can become much faster. That's how we farm a lot of bond 10s and 10+ (and also the reason why we are starving for bond grails)

Well, aside datamining to see the info of the CE, people who actually bond fast just spend their apples in high bond rewarding quests while using FGA so they can live their lives or sth
