Near east and "Abu Nar Clan" would mean the Middle East, i.e, the Arabian Peninsula, Iran, etc. The Clan wouldn't necessarily be new enemies. They'd probably be a part of the Lore. I do hope though that someday they will be make an appearance, but it seems a distant dream that PotCo will have more factions added to it (e.g, Army of Shadows, Isla Sirena, Minuit's soldiers, Libertalia, Barbary Corsairs, French/Spanish enemies Fleets, Dutch, etc.)
