    So is there really any honour in Total War games?
    No.
    But there is in some of it’s players…

    R'as al Ghul is one name of a star in the constellation Perseus. Variants of the name are Algol (spirit, ghoul, demon), Al-Ghul (spirit, ghoul, demon), or Ri'B al Ohill (the demons head). Specifically it's Beta Perseus the part of the constellation where the head of the Gorgon medusa hangs from Perseus's belt. These are all just Arabic names for it though. The Hebrews called it Rosh ha Sitan (Satan's head or Devil's head). The Chinese called it Tseih She (the Piled-up Corpses).

    Mmmm... Nice star. Interesting that it would get so many unflattering names.
