The Student of the Macchina Tariqa("Sifhr" RPG)

In the world of "Sifhr", everything takes place as it did in the historical reality of the Crusades, as we know them. Legitimate power is held by the Caliph of Baghdad, even if real power is fragmented between a Turkish sultan, several emirs, dynasties of local princes and countless second-rate lords.
Jerusalem fell to the Crusaders in 1099, but its mastery was undermined by the Muslim reconquests. Damascus is a buffer zone between Antioch, under Christian domination, Egypt ruled by the caliph of the Fatimid dynasty, the holy places towards happy Arabia, and Mesopotamia in which Baghdad nestles.
But this chessboard is limited to geopolitical considerations that have a hidden side. It's up to you to know the basics.
You are a group of heroes and, as initiates, you know that there is a close link between your wider environment, the macrocosm, and each individual, even isolated places, so many microcosms. The pneuma is the transmission belt between all these elements. It is an energy that emanates from the stars and from the earth, and circulates, influencing people and events.
By gathering detailed information in the field, you can influence its composition, interpreting it in a variety of ways. But this ability must remain a secret. For three centuries, your kind have joined the Macchina tariqa, a brotherhood that operates in the shadows, masking its knowledge and powers, avoiding reproach from the more conservative elements of society, and the covetousness of the powerful who would like to instrumentalize it, although it remains under the obedience of the Baghdad caliph himself.
