'''Alamut''' was a fortress controlled by the [[Levantine Assassins]] during the 11th to 12th centuries, located in {{Wiki|Persia}}.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
The fortress of Alamut was, unbeknownst to the Assassins, on the site of a small [[First Civilization]] temple, which contained dozens of [[Memory Seals]].<ref name="ACRVOGG">''[[Assassin's Creed: Revelations]] Official Game Guide''</ref><br />
<br />
Under the leadership of [[Hassan-i Sabbāh]], Alamut became the site of intense activity for the Assassins. During the medieval period, the castle functioned as the major stronghold for the Order.<ref name="Wikipedia">[[wikipedia:Alamut|''Wikipedia'': Alamut]]</ref><br />
<br />
Circa 1227, [[Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad]], his son [[Darim Ibn-La'Ahad|Darim]], his former daughter-in-law, and his grandchildren sought refuge in Alamut after [[Abbas Sofian]] staged a coup to take over the Assassin Order. Altaïr remained in the fortress for about two decades, during which time he made several discoveries, in addition to creating a number of inventions through the knowledge he gained from the [[Second Apple|Apple of Eden]].<ref name="Assassin's Creed: The Secret Crusade">''[[Assassin's Creed: The Secret Crusade]]''</ref> Altaïr also discovered the remains of the First Civilization temple,<ref name="ACRVOGG"/> and took six Memory Seals with him, later using five of them as [[Masyaf Keys|keys]] necessary to open his [[Altaïr's library|library]] underneath [[Masyaf]].<ref name="ACRV">''[[Assassin's Creed: Revelations]]''</ref><br />
<br />
In 1256, Assassin control of the fortress was lost to the invading [[Mongols]] and its famous library holdings were destroyed when the castle's library was condemned to be burned by Ata-Malik Juwayni, a servant of the Mongol court.<ref name="Wikipedia" /><br />

Alamut Castle is in Qazvin-Iran<br />
