	The '''Siege of Acre''' was the first major engagement of the [[Third Crusade]]~~—one~~ that would span almost the entirety of the war. With the assistance of the [[~~Templars\|~~Knights Templar]] and the [[Knights Hospitalier]], the [[Kingdom of Jerusalem]] first launched an assault of [[Acre]] in 1189 before the arrival of the formal [[Crusaders\|Crusader]] forces from [[Europe]]. Alerted by the siege, Sultan [[Saladin]] of Egypt and Syria hastily rallied his forces to relieve the coastal city only to mire himself in a prolonged stalemate against the besiegers.		The '''Siege of Acre''' was the first major engagement of the [[Third Crusade]], one that would span almost the entirety of the war.

Alerted by the siege, Sultan [[Saladin]] of Egypt and Syria hastily rallied his forces to relieve the coastal city only to mire himself in a prolonged stalemate against the besiegers.

	The [[Saracens]], faced with their inability to lift the siege, had little recourse but to settle into their own blockade around the Crusaders. As this double siege dragged on into the next year, the impatient Templars began to devise a plot to murder the entire population by poisoning their water supply, hoping that this would force a capitulation. Before the order could be carried out, however, it was sabotaged by the [[Assassins\|Assassin]] [[Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad]], who infiltrated their camp and assassinated the commander responsible for the operation.

	Nevertheless, neither this setback nor the demise of many of the Christian leaders proved capable of breaking the siege. In 1191, the arrival of long anticipated reinforcements led by [[Richard I of England\|~~King~~ Richard ~~the Lionheart~~]] and [[Philip II of France\|~~King~~ Philip II of France]] turned the tide in the Crusaders favor. Armed with greater siege weapons, the Crusaders breached Acre and effected its surrender, scoring a critical victory that would allow them to recover ground lost to the Saracens the previous years.

	In 1187, after Saladin, the Sultan of [[Egypt]], had unified the squabbling Muslim states of the Levant, warfare erupted once more between the Saracens and Crusaders.<ref name="Wiki" /> On 3 July, he baited a massive Christian army led by all its major leaders into the [[Battle of Hattin]], where he dealt a major victory that severely crippled the entire Kingdom of Jerusalem.

	The fall of Jerusalem ignited calls for a [[Third Crusade]] in [[Europe]] to recapture it. In the meantime, Guy of Lusignan traveled to [[Tyre]], the last stronghold of the Kingdom of Jerusalem, having managed to ward off a major Saracen invasion through the leadership of [[Conrad of Montferrat]]. Conrad, recognizing that Guy's hold on the kingship was tenuous as it derived only from his marriage to {{Wiki\|Sibylla, Queen of Jerusalem\|Queen Sibylla}}, expected that with his newfound prestige, he could seize the throne himself.

	Sometime in that same year, 1190, the Templars, frustrated with the stalemate, hatched a secret scheme to poison the entire water supply of Acre.

	When the ''de facto'' successor to Gerard, [[Basilisk]], was defeated by the Assassin Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad in Tyre, however, the Templar leaked the plot to the Assassin in exchange for mercy. As both were in a [[Quest for the Chalice\|competition]] for the [[Adha\|Chalice]], which they now knew to be a woman hiding in Jerusalem, Basilisk hoped that by playing on Altaïr's conscience to save Acre, he would delay the Assassin long enough for him to reach Jerusalem first.<ref name="ACAC" />		When the ''de facto'' successor to Gerard, [[Basilisk]], was defeated by the Assassin Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad in Tyre, however, the Templar leaked the plot to the Assassin in exchange for mercy.

	When three [[Knights Hospitalier\|Hosptalier]] soldiers spotted Altaïr, he evaded them by throwing a [[~~bombs~~\|smoke bomb]] and fleeing to the rooftops, from where he then sniped a few Templars with a [[crossbow]]. His indiscretion alerted the invaders of his presence, and Crusaders entering into the city were on the look out for him. As soon as he returned to the streets, he was confronted by a group of Crusaders who were immediately killed by a collapsing building.

	Altaïr intended to travel to the other side of the city to reach the Templar camp and assassinate the general in charge of the poison plot. After killing more Crusaders along the way, he found his route down a street blocked by a Templar commander and three of his knights. While his knights barricaded the way with their shields, the commander eagerly drew his sword at the Assassin, only to be slain in the ensuing duel. His knights nevertheless maintained their shield barricade, only to have Altaïr forcibly break through it and escape.<ref name="ACAC" />		Altaïr intended to travel to the other side of the city to reach the Templar camp and assassinate the general in charge of the poison plot.
