adopted by King Sharaman , his royal-blooded adoptive brothers, Tus and Garsiv , and his uncle, Nizam , after Alamut
is believed to be selling weapons to Persias enemies. Dastan leads a surprise attack to open the citys gates to allow the army
in during the ensuing battle, Dastan comes into possession of a unique dagger. Alamuts princess, Tamina , is arrested and
agrees to marry Tus in order to achieve peace after noticing Dastans dagger.
b Middle

his hands were burned. Once Tamina finally explains everything about the Dagger, Dastan realizes why Nizam wants
the Dagger of Time: to use it with the massive Sandglass to go back in time and undo saving Sharaman from a lion so he could
become king. He fabricates the false allegations that Alamut has been dealing weapons to Persias enemies so that he would
have the opportunity to search the city for the Sandglass. However, Tamina warns that opening the Sandglass would
release the sands, triggering an apocalyptic sandstorm that would destroy the entire world. Meanwhile, Nizam hires the
lethal Hassansins to slay Dastan. c
Ending The end of this movie is when Dastan stops the siege of
Alamut, revealing Nizams treachery; Nizam is angry and attempts to kill Dastan, but is stabbed in the chest by Tuss

blade and dies. After apologizing for the ransacking of her city, Tus suggests that perhaps Tamina should become Dastans wife
as a sign of good will since he is the conqueror and savior of her city. Prince Dastan returns the Dagger of Time to Tamina
and the two take a walk together. During their conversation, Dastan hints at his knowledge of the daggers power and tells
Tamina that he looks forward to a future with her. 4
