7573 Battle of Alamut 7573 Battle of Alamut is a 821 set that was released in 2010 . The set consists of a large model of the castle Alamut , as seen in the movie " Prince of Persia : The Sands of Time " . It includes two Alamut Guard s , Dastan , Seso , Gool , Tamah , and Nizam minifigure s . It also includes a camel , an animal that only appears in this and the 7571 The Fight for the Dagger set . The set consits of the palace of Alamut , which is coloured white and gold . It includes the castle ' s main tower , as well as walls that can be folded out on either side . Above the entrance , there are barrel parts filled with translucent orange 1x1 cones to recreate the scene in the Prince of Persia movie where Dastan drops the barrels of oil onto the enemy . On the walls there are also golden flags , and studs on the sides for parkour play . In between the two sides of the walls , there is a large gateway for the minifigures to enter through . There is also one camel , a cart with a flick - fire weapon , and 7 minifigures . The included Ballista cart features two flick - fire missiles , and only two wheels . The wheels are slightly armoured at the front , and the cart props itself up in the back . Description . The set . The Gate into Alamut features a large double - door , framed by two towers , one on either side . The towers connect to the door ( and each other ) by means of a ramp at the top of the gate , which also connects into the ground . The top of the ramp features a tiltable stand , on which sit two barrels , that can be filled with " boiling oil " ( transparent neon orange cones ) . At the top of each tower , there is a rotating catapult which can be used to launch bricks at the enemy . Next to a tower on either side , is a skinny white column , which , near its top , has a plant piece substituted for a column brick . Next to the main doors are two torches , one on either side . The right wall is about seven bricks high , and features , along its sides , bricks with studs on the sides , to recreate the scenes in the " Prince of Persia " film where Dastan runs along the walls . At the top of the wall , there is a small area where a minifigure can stand , and , inside the wall , there are tile bricks that can be pushed either way through it to create stairs down . The left wall is very similar to the right , except for the lack of pushable steps , and the inclusion , instead , of a part of the wall that can be knocked out , to prevent Dastan running on it . It should be noted that the gate and the walls all have TECHNIC studs included in them to attach to the main palace . On either side , the palace features two large white pillars , with golden domes on top . On the roof , the palace has a large gold dome , as well as some plants . Inside , the palace is divided into six rooms . On the first floor , the rooms on the left and right both contain white pedestals , one with a golden scorpion atop it , and one with two gold goblets . The middle room features a circular structure , possibly a well or small shrine , with a ruby placed atop it . By grabbing hold of the gem and pulling , the " roof " of the structure will come up , to reveal the Dagger of Time connected underneath . On the second floor , one room features a throne room for Nizam , with a dark red / white throne with a gold decoration on top , and the other features a weapon storage area , where two axes are held . The middle room has nothing in it , but opens into a large balcony , which overlooks the whole of Alamut castle . On the set ' s box art , Nizam is watching the battle from this position . Dastan has black legs , printed with a red sash and some silver ornaments . His torso is primarily brown , although he has nougat arms and hands . The torso is printed with what would appear to be leather armour , as well as some gold decorations , and a belt .

In the " Prince of Persia : The Sands of Time " movie , Alamut is a peaceful city state and a neighbor of the Persian Empire . The city is located in a valley with natural water resources , and is surrounded by fields and gardens . In the centre of the city are the royal palace and the sacred temple . The mystical Dagger of Time is stored in this temple . Alamut is a cultural and religious centre , a holy city . Unknown to most people , the real source of the mystical sands of time is in the catacombs under the city . This source is traditionally protected by priests and the Princess of Alamut . Probably due to its holy status , Alamut city has never been conquered by enemies for a thousand years . Most kings , including Persian King Sharaman , consider attacking the city to be an insult to the gods , and fear the destructive effects of such an act on the international relations of their states . Alamut is protected by walls , and Alamut soldiers , who wear white and golden coloured uniforms . There are no widespread forges for mass production of weapons in the city . After false accusations of weapons smuggling , supported by false evidence secretly fabricated by Nizam , the Persian Prince Tus decides to invade the city . During the capture , Persian Prince Dastan sneaks in the city and opens the gates to minimize possible losses on both sides . After a series of adventures following the assassination of King Sharaman , Dastan returns to Alamut with Seso , Sheik Amar , and Princess Tamina to stop Nizam , who now controls the city with the Persian army ( or Alamut Guard s ) , and Hassansin s under his control . The 7573 " Battle of Alamut " set is a combination of different elements from the movie . The fortress gates , traps and falling debris are elements from the invasion scenes at the beginning . The domed structure is a combination of the palace and the temple mostly featured near the end of the movie . All antagonist minifigures , Nizam , Alamut Guards and Hassansins are in fact Persians . The Battle of Alamut set contains no Alamut citizens or soldiers . From all the companions of Dastan , who came to the city with him at the end of the movie , only Seso is available in this set . Real Alamut . Alamut was a mountain fortress located in northern Iran . It was built in a way that made conquering it extremely difficult . In 1090 , the fortress was infiltrated and occupied by Hassan - i Sabbah . He was the founder of Hashshashins Order , known in the West as " the Assassins " . The Hashshashins were a small but influential faction during the reign of the Seljuk Empire and during the crusades . They were famous for assassinating important leaders of their enemies .
