I wanted to ask you something. Which is... what's your name? This article title is conjecture. Although the article subject is canon, no official name for it has been given. |
The Alamut Temple was a comparatively small Isu temple located beneath the Assassins' fortress in Alamut. Once a prison, it held dozens of Memory Seals in storage.
History[edit | edit source]
During the Isu Era, the temple served as a prison for rogue Isu. One notable inmate was Loki who, during his time there, was subjected to intense psychological and physical torture. Long after the temple fell into disuse, its storage of several dozen Memory Seals withstood the passing of the centuries and at least some of the devices held the recorded experiences of the prison population, including Loki.[1]
By the 9th century, the temple lay in ruins and all entrances had been blocked by debris and natural rock formations, with the exception of a single door, which required Isu DNA to open. After discovering the temple's ruins, the Hidden Ones established a camp around them to protect the site from the Order of the Ancients.[1] Over time, this camp became the main headquarters of the Hidden Ones in the region, who began construction of a fortress above the ruins.[2] At one point, the Hidden One Mentor Rayhan looked for a way into the ancient temple, but was unable to gain access.[1]
In the 860s, Basim Ibn Ishaq, the human incarnation of Loki, sought to explore the temple to better understand his own nature, after being encouraged to do so by Qabiha, the Ra's Al-Af'a of the Order of the Ancients. Although Basim's mentor Roshan killed Qabiha and warned her apprentice against investigating the temple,[3] Basim disobeyed her and travelled to Alamut amidst an attack by the Tahirids, who had ended their protection of Alamut due to a deal with the Order.[1]
Basim helped his fellow Hidden Ones to fend off the attack before heading to the temple entrance, where he was confronted by Roshan. The senior Hidden One tried to prevent him from entering due to fearing what the temple might awaken inside him, but was ultimately defeated by her former apprentice. Afterwards, Basim used his blood to open the temple door and explored its various chambers before reaching the cell where Loki had once been held prisoner. This led Basim to regain the memories of his past life and ultimately embrace his nature as Loki's incarnation.[1]
Sometime between 1228 and 1247, during his exile in Alamut, Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad, Mentor of the Levantine Assassins, was guided by his Apple of Eden[4] to the temple and claimed six of its Memory Seals, of which he later used five as the keys for his library beneath the fortress of Masyaf.[5] The British Assassin Edward Kenway would also explore the temple around 1724,[6] and documented its existence in his journal.[7]
