'''Alamut''' was a fortress located in [[Iran]] controlled by the [[Levantine Assassins]] through the 11th and 12th centuries. The fortress was destroyed in 1256 by the [[Mongol Empire]], after which the region was abandoned.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
The fortress of Alamut was, unbeknownst to the Assassins, on the site of a small [[First Civilization]] [[Alamut Temple|temple]], which contained dozens of [[Memory Seals]].<ref name="ACRVOGG">''[[Assassin's Creed: Revelations]] Official Game Guide''</ref> 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.<br />
<br />
By 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 [[Apple of Eden 2|Apple of Eden]].<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: The Secret Crusade]]''</ref><br />
<br />
Altaïr also discovered the remains of the First Civilization [[Temples|temple]],<ref name="ACRVOGG"/> and took six Memory Seals with him, later using five of them as [[Masyaf Keys|keys]] necessary to open his [[library of Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad|library]] underneath the fortress of [[Masyaf]].<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Revelations]]''</ref><br />
<br />
In 1256, Assassin control of the fortress was lost to the invading Mongol Empire, and its famous library was destroyed by fire, on the order of Ata-Malik Juwayni, a servant of the Mongol court.<br />
<br />
In the 18th century, the fortress' ruins were visited by the Assassin [[Edward Kenway]], in his search for First Civilization sites.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Rogue]]''</ref><br />
