'''Guild Challenges''' are a feature re-introduced from ''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]''.

===Mercenaries===
*Throwing civilians into scaffolds also counts towards the challenge.
*Killing 25 [[Almogavars]] can be achieved by repeatedly playing the bomb memory [[Piri Reis: Datura]].

===Thieves===
*Sprinting 300 meters can easily be accomplished in [[Topkapı Palace]] courtyard.
*Diving 30 meters can be achieved by leaping off a ship's mast in the Arsenal district.

===Bombs===
*Sticking 10 bombs and killing 20 guards with tripwire bombs can easily be accomplished by sticking smoke bombs on a group of guards, before placing yourself between them and laying down a datura tripwire bomb.

'''Cappadocia''' is a region in central [[wikipedia:Turkey|Turkey]]. Although it is partially above ground, the main section of the region lies underground.

During the early 16th century, Cappadocia was an ancient and mysterious region controlled and constructed by the [[Templars|Templar Order]]. Many poor and struggling [[Byzantines]] took refuge there after the fall of [[Constantinople]] at the hands of the [[Ottoman Empire]].

==History==
===Templar headquarters===
[[File:Shahkulu_&_Manuel_Cappadocia.png|thumb|250px|Manuel and Shahkulu discuss their plans in Cappadocia.]]

During the early 16th century, the Templars set up their headquarters in Cappadocia, after being driven from their previous base in [[Rome]] by the [[Assassins]]. There, the Templars set up prisons and instated themselves as the rulers of the city, filling the streets with Byzantine Templars.

The Templar in charge of the [[Masyaf]] expedition, [[Manuel Palaiologos]], resided in Cappadocia for some time after his family lost their hold on the Ottoman throne. He, along with his bodyguard and fellow Templar [[Shahkulu]], governed much of the city and held power within its walls. The two also negotiated the purchase of armaments for their Templars with the Captain of the [[Janissaries]] [[Tarik Barleti]] in 1511.

===Assassin Invasion===
By 1511, Tarik Barleti had [[Ottomans|Ottoman]] spies active in Cappadocia. These spies were meant to observe the Templars' activity in the city and report it back to the Janissaries. While those reports were being collected, Tarik prepared to attack the Templars where they felt safest: Cappadocia. When the Assassin [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze|Ezio Auditore]] arrived in the city via ship in March of 1512, he met one of these spies: [[Dilara]].
[[File:ACR Ezio outside Capadoccia.jpg|thumb|250px|left|Concept art of Ezio Auditore outside of Cappadocia.]]
After meeting with her, Ezio made his way around the city and later overheard Byzantine Templars discussing the fate of the recently-captured Dilara. The guards conversed about Shahkulu and how he was preparing to kill Dilara before the guards met with Shahkulu himself.

However, neither of the guards nor Shahkulu had the key to Dilara's prison cell. It was instead at the city market with an off-duty Byzantine. Making his way to the market, the Assassin pick-pocketed the key from the guard and quickly hurried back to Dilara's cell. He liberated the spy but Dilara left abruptly and informed him she was going to kill Shahkulu.

Ezio caught up with Dilara, who was observing Shahkulu as he beat one of her fellow spies, [[Janos]]. The Assassin then [[Freerunning|free-ran]] around the area, making his way to a small platform above Shahkulu's position. He leaped from the platform and air-assassinated Shahkulu with his [[hidden blade]]. However, the renegade Turk got back up from blade wound and attempted to fight the Assassin alongside his reinforcements. After a brief skirmish, Ezio dispatched Shahkulu for good before reuniting the two spies and then left to find Manuel Palaiologos.

===Hunt for Manuel===
While navigating the city in a search for Manuel, Ezio spotted a depot where the Templars stored their gunpowder. Ezio made his way through the depot and blew up the gunpowder.
[[File:Ezio_confront_Manuel.png|thumb|250px|right|Ezio confronts Manuel on the docks.]]
Upon seeing and hearing the loud explosion in the weapons depot, Manuel rushed out from his heavily guarded area to an elevated position where he could see the entire city. There, Manuel began making a speech before he fled at the sight of Ezio's approach.

Manuel called out for his guards to kill the Assassin. The Templar eventually made his way to a large gate in the corner of the city, believing he was safe from the Assassin. Ezio climbed over the gate and continued his pursuit. Manuel eventually reached a set of docks and was forced to confront the Assassin. Manuel fought the Assassin, but was killed. After Ezio recovered one of the [[Masyaf Keys]] from Manuel, Prince [[Ahmet]] came up on a boat offshore. The prince revealed that he was a Templar and commanded his men to kill the Assassin before departing from the city.

===Fire===
[[File:Escape.png|thumb|215px|left|The depot, incinerated from the explosion.]]

Ezio managed to kill his attackers and began to make his way out of the city. Upon climbing back over the gate, Ezio discovered that the fire had engulfed the entire depot and spread to a large portion of the city.

Throughout the duration of Ezio's escape, [[Civilians|civilians]] succumbed to smoke inhalation, the city bell rang loudly, and explosions periodically rocked the entire city.

==Trivia==
*In an interview with CVG, [[Alexandre Amancio]] noted that parts of the city were reminiscent of [[wikipedia:Petra|Petra]].
*While in Cappadocia, Ezio wore a full body-length cape with a hood over his Assassin robes. This was likely so that he would not be recognized within the Templar stronghold.
*As Cappadocia was never freed from Templar control, the unique items sold there throughout the 16th century always had the Templar tax on them, raising the prices by 10%.
*After completing the game, it was possible to take a boat to Cappadocia from the Eastern [[Galata District]] docks and explore the city further, if the player wished. The city looked the same as it was upon Ezio's first arrival.
*While in the city, Ezio has no means to reduce his [[Notoriety|notoriety]].
