	[[Ezio Auditore da Firenze]]'s '''journey to Masyaf '''was an event that occured during the 16th century, in which the Assassin journied to Masyaf in search of [[Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad]]'s fabled [[Altair's library\|hidden library]], believing it to be housing something capable of putting an end to the centuries long [[Assassin]]-[[Templar]] war.
	~~==Discovery==~~

	With the Templar threat in Italy extinguished, Ezio Auditore focused on further cementing the Assassins' place in Italy. Establishing his power base in [[Rome]], Ezio rebuilt and restructured the [[Italian Assassins\|Italian Brotherhood]] under the benevolent eye of [[Pope Julius II]], also improving lines of communication from [[Sicily]] to [[Venice]] and standardizing methods of training for [[Apprentices\|novices]] and fellow Assassins.

	Following the removal of the [[Borgia]], the Templars remained in abeyance and Ezio left the running of Assassin operations in the hands of his sister [[Claudia Auditore da Firenze\|Claudia]]; though Ezio remained vigilant of an incoming threat, and uncomplainingly devoted himself to the task of retrieving and putting in order what the Templars had wrought damage upon in the mean time. Though happy with his task, Ezio fondly missed the action and open air he previously experienced on a regular basis, prior to his role as [[Mentor]], knowing missions seldom come to men of his age.

	In 1509, Ezio came across a leather satchel with a letter inside, written by his father [[Giovanni Auditore da Firenze\|Giovanni]], to his uncle [[Mario Auditore\|Mario]]. In the letter, Giovanni mentioned a library, built by legendary Assassin Mentor Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad, hidden below a castle in the [[Syria]]n mountain city of Masyaf, the former headquarters of the [[Levantine Assassins]]. Along with the letter was a sheet of parchment, written by Altaïr himself. In it, Altaïr reflected on his confrontation with his former Mentor [[Rashid ad-Din Sinan]], and on the [[Apple of Eden]] and its temptations.

	Spurred by his desire for adventure, and believing the library to be housing something of great importance, Ezio made preparations for his journey East, first consulting with both [[Niccolò Machiavelli]] in [[Florence]], to whom Ezio did not reveal all he had learned, and [[Bartolomeo d'Alviano]] in [[Ostia]], who encouraged him with his plans.
	~~==Pilgrimage to Syria==~~
	{{Dialogue\|Ezio\|I'll forage as I go along.\|Claudia\|You're good at that.\|Ezio and Claudia, before Ezio's depature from Rome.\|Assassin's Creed: Revelations (novel)}} Early in the New Year, on the feast of St. Hilary, preperations were finally ready and a date was set for Ezio's depature from Rome, via [[Naples]], to the southern port of Bari. Bartolomeo, who would also be riding along, had arranged an armed escort to accompany Ezio as a far as Bari. From there, he planned to travel alone.

	~~Leaving a worried Claudia temporarily in charge of the Brotherhood, he bid her farewell.~~

	After fifteen days, Ezio and his entourage finally reached Bari. Once there, he bade a hasty leave to Bartolomeo, so as not to miss the first available flood tide. He boarded a ship headed for [[Corfu]], a large lateen-sailed dhow called the ''Anaan'', belonging to the Turkish merchant fleet managed by the famous Ottoman admiral [[Piri Reis]] and his family. Once installed in its after cabin, Ezio took the opportunity to recheck his gear: his dual [[Hidden Blade\|hidden blades]], along with their bracers, and his [[Hidden Gun\|hidden gun]].
	~~===Voyage to Athens===~~
	After being welcomed to Corfu by its governor, Franco, Ezio had a talk with the ''Anaan'''s captain on the balcony of the Franco's villa. In exchange for a pouch of Venetian ''soldi'', they agreed between themselves that Ezio should continue on to Athens. The captain assured Ezio that since they would be hugging the coast, there would be no risk of pirates, and that once they reached Athens, he would introduce him to his brother-in-law Ma'Mun, a shipping agent. The following morning, Ezio visited an armourer and bought a well-tempered scimitar, haggling the price down to 100 ''soldi''.

	~~At dawn the next day, the ''Anaan'' set off on its voyage. They coasted south, keeping the shore around a mile to their port side.~~
