}}The '''Kingdom''' was the landscape that connected the areas of [[Masyaf]], [[Acre]], [[Jerusalem]], [[Damascus]], and [[Arsuf]]. Within the Kingdom were numerous small villages, dwarfed by the massive cities they connected.

==Third Crusade==
During the [[Third Crusade]], the Kingdom acted as a neutral territory between the [[Crusaders]] in Acre, and the [[Saracens|Saracen]] controlled cities of Damascus and Jerusalem. The western end of the Kingdom was actively militarized by the Lionheart Crusaders. The eastern region fell under the jurisdiction of the Saracen army. Both sides possessed fortified armies, that defended against one another and the [[Assassins]]. The [[Templars]] had a large presence throughout the Kingdom.

==Guards==
The Assassin [[Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad]] was able to find [[Guards|guard]] patrols, guard camps, and archer towers. All guards patrolling in formation within the Kingdom were constantly [[Social Stealth|informed]] of Altaïr's presence and would attack the Assassin if they noticed any socially unacceptable behavior. Altaïr was able to cross the region in haste, through the use of [[horse]]s. He would instantly become anonymous when he returned to the Assassin-controlled part of the kingdom.

==Trivia==
*The player can collect 100 [[King Richard Flags]] that are located throughout the Kingdom to complete an Additional Memory, and in the Xbox 360 version, an [[Assassin's Creed Achievements|achievement]]. In addition, there are 30 [[Templars]] to be killed, and 12 [[View Points|view points]] to be reached.
*The Kingdom geography looks suspisciously like the mountaineous area around the small town of 'Aadeïssa (Google Maps [32.81,35.70] ), which is centered between each of the game's locations and matches similar surroundings, such as the large body of water to the west (Sea of Galilee?).
*When leaving Masyaf for the first time, one of the Assassins in the Kingdom glows red while using Eagle Vision on him, but when you attack him, other Assassins will attack you.
**This Assassin is actually [[Jamal]], the traitor inside the Assassin Order that, along with [[Masun]], opened the gates for the [[Templars|Templar]] [[Siege of Masyaf|attack at Masyaf]]. He was to originally be a mission target, but the mission was cut and the character remained as a minor [[Easter egg#Jamal|Easter egg]].
