	The '''Souk al-Silaah''' (English: ''Market of weapons'') was the largest commercial center within the city of [[Damascus]] during the twelfth century. Located at the northeast center of the Poor District, the market was owned by the black arms merchant [[Tamir]] during the [[Third Crusade]]. As a secret member of the [[Templars\|Templar Order]], Tamir was [[Hunt for the Nine\|targeted]] by [[Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad]], and it was here that he met his end at the hands of the [[Assassins]] in 1191.

	That same year, Tamir was responsible for supplying enough weapons to field the army of the Knights Templar, where his true allegiances laid. At least a thousand weapons were requested by [[Grand Master]] [[Robert de Sablé]], all in a short span of time, and Tamir's blacksmiths simply could not satisfy the demand in the time allotted despite working overtime. Outraged, Tamir summoned the merchant guild to the souk, berating one of the merchants for failing to fulfill the order. When the elderly merchant argued back that the expectations were unreasonable, Tamir murdered him before the eyes of everyone in the market, leaving his corpse to bleed in the central fountain.<ref name="AC1" />		That same year, Tamir was responsible for supplying enough weapons to field the army of the Knights Templar, where his true allegiances laid.

			==Layout==
			Typical of many Arabian markets during this era, the Souk al-Silaah was a permanently enclosed trading center whose layout consisted primarily of intersecting vaulted arcades. Each of these arcades had numerous shops set into them along each sides while also providing each of the souk's five public entrances. The only section of the market exposed to open air was the central courtyard, which commonly had stalls set along its walls as well. At the center of this courtyard stood a pergola, under which was set a small fountain that was the center point of the entire souk.<ref name="AC1" /> From above, the courtyard gave the souk the appearance of a ragged hole punched into the Poor District's expanse of cluttered, dilapidated buildings.<ref name="The Secret Crusade" />
