[[Ezio Auditore da Firenze]]'s '''pilgrimage to Masyaf '''was an event that occured in 1511, in which the Assassin journied to [[Masyaf]], in search of a [[Altaïr's library|library]] hidden below the city's castle.
==Journey==
With the [[Templars|Templar]] threat in [[Italy]] eliminated, Ezio Auditore shifted his focus to more internal matters. Further cementing the [[Assassins]]' place in Italy, he improved lines of communication from Sicily to [[Venice]], and standardized methods of training for the Order's [[Assassin recruits|recruits]]. In the year 1509, Ezio discovered a letter written by his [[Giovanni Auditore da Firenze|father]], along with many other letters and documents left behind by his late uncle, [[Mario Auditore]]. In this letter, his father made mention of a locked library built by legendary Assassin[[ Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad]], hidden beneath a castle in the [[Syria]]n city of Masyaf. Spurred by curiosity, Ezio left Italy in the winter of 1510 and began his pilgrimage.
Eventually arriving in Syria, he took shelter in the coastal city of [[Acre]]. While there, he was told of foreign bandits and merceneries occupying Masyaf. Before leaving, Ezio wrote a letter to his sister, [[Claudia Auditore da Firenze]]. In it, he detailed his concerns of a possible Templar threat in Masyaf, and his wishes for her and the Order should he not survive. The following day, Ezio set off for Masyaf.
Once arriving there, he found the city in ruins and its fortress overrun by [[Byzantines]], remnants of a line fiercely supportive of [[Constantinople]]'s former Sultan, Constantine XII, and a faction loyal to the Templar Order. As Ezio reached Masyaf's castle, an arrow was shot directly at his sholder, which was fortunately blocked due to his armor. He then immediately engaged in combat with the Byzantines, dispatching many in the process, but was eventually bested.
Stripped of his weapons, Ezio was led to the castle's watch tower to be hung.
