'''Damascus''' was the capital and largest ancient city of [[Syria]], believed to have been founded in the third millennium BCE. Damascus was located in the eastern foothills of the Eastern Lebanon Mountain Range, near the delta of the Barada River.<ref name="Wikipedia">[[Wikipedia:Damascus|''Wikipedia'': Damascus]]</ref>
==History==
===High Middle Ages===
During the Second Crusade, around 1148, the city repelled multiple attacks until being acquired by [[Salah Al'din]] in the year 1174.<ref name="Wikipedia" /> Upon gaining control of the city, he granted scholars from far and wide the chance to study in one of the many Madrasahs scattered throughout the city's neighborhoods. In between 1190 and 1191, the [[Assassins|Assassin]] [[Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad]] visited the city numerous times and assassinated a number of prominent [[Templars|Templar]] figures including Alaat, Tamir, Abu'l Nuqoud and Jubair al Hakim. Virtually unaffected by the war, the city remained an extremely clean and gorgeous site.<ref name="ac1"/>
==Districts==
===Poor District===
The Poor District was considered to be a very busy section and constantly packed with citizens. This caused a lot of traffic throughout the streets with many civilians moving about. It was home to the sprawling and very impressive [[Souk Al-Silaah]], which was a major trading point within the city and dominated the surrounding area. Due to its eloquent ceremonial courtyard, situated in the center, the Souk was the site where the Templar and arms dealer Tamir conducted his daily business. Strangely, though, despite Tamir having stationed multiple guards in the nearby corridors, the security around the Souk was rather light. This allowed Altaïr to silently slip in and assassinate Tamir.<ref name="ac1">''[[Assassin's Creed]]''</ref>
===Middle District===
The Middle District contained the [[Sinan Pasha Mosque]] and Formal Gardens. These featured larger east-west thoroughfares connecting the different areas. This section of Damascus included many places of learning, until Jubiar al Hakim arrived and began a city quest to destroy all written text. The central feature was Jubair's [[Madrasah Al-Kallāsah|Madrasah]], where books were burnt and resulted in the loss of valuable knowledge. When Altaïr traveled there to assassinate Jubair, the security was very high, due to the Assassins' continued success.<ref name="ac1"/>
===Rich District===
The Rich District stretched across almost half of the city, and possessed many of the structural landmarks that attracted outsiders to the city. The partially rebuilt [[Citadel of Salah Al'Din]] was a key fortification that demanded planning for a successful infiltration. The most impressive feature of the district, and probably the entire city, was the [[Umayyad Mosque]] and the [[Merchant King's Palace]].<ref name="ac1"/> The interior of the palace was lightly secured, except for when the Templar and Merchant King Abu'l Nuqoud hosted one of his lavish parties. Traffic around the palace grounds was also rather light, given the location. Slightly north was the [[Sarouja Souk]] Market Quarter, where both traffic and security were moderate. Sarouja Souk held the reputation of being the largest market in the [[Kingdom|Holy Land]]. It was split into two separate structures that ran from west to east and north to south.<ref name="ac1"/> Though the Umayyad Mosque and Merchant King's Palace dominated the district, the Grand Courtyard north of the Mosque was equally an interesting place. Here, within the impressive district, Abu'l Nuqoud held immense power over the people.<ref name="ac1"/>
