'''Jerusalem''' was a city located between the Mediterranean and the Dead Sea, often visited by [[Assassins]] and [[Templars]] throughout history.
==History==
===High Middle Ages===
In the early 12<sup>th</sup> century, the Templar [[Bernard de Clairvaux]] sent nine trusted men to find the [[Solomon's Temple|Temple of Solomon]] beneath Jerusalem. When these men returned nine years later, he reinvented the Order into a knightly organization, the Knights Templar.
Jerusalem was the largest city in the [[Kingdom|Holy Land]] during the 12<sup>th</sup> century and housed exquisite mosques and cathedrals, which denoted the contrast of cultures present. The city was under control of Sultan [[Saladin]] and his [[Saracens|Saracen]] army during the [[Third Crusade]], while the [[Crusaders]] under King [[Richard I of England|Richard I]] were vying heavily to take control of the holy city.<ref name="AC">''[[Assassin's Creed]]''</ref>
By the time of the Third Crusade, the city secretly housed both [[Knights Templar]] and [[Assassins]], two centuries-old factions fighting each other for world peace. In 1191, a group of Templars led by their [[Grand Master]] [[Robert de Sable]] and a team of Assassins composed of [[Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad]] and the brothers [[Malik Al-Sayf|Malik]] and [[Kadar Al-Sayf]] infiltrated [[Solomon's Temple]] in Jerusalem to obtain an "[[Second Apple|Apple of Eden]]" hidden deep inside the temple, atop the [[Ark of the Covenant]]. When both factions met, it resulted in a conflict that led to the death of Kadar and the severe wounding of Malik's arm, though Malik was successfully able to bring the Apple of Eden back to the [[Levantine Assassins]]' headquarters in [[Masyaf]].<ref name="AC"/>
Over the course of the year, Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad assassinated several clandestine Templars working inside Jerusalem with the help of Malik Al-Sayf, who had become the rafiq of the city's [[Assassins' Bureau|Assassins' bureau]]. Among these Templars were [[Talal]], a slave trader, and [[Majd Addin]], regent of Jerusalem in Saladin's absence. Ultimately, Altaïr also attempted to take the life of Robert de Sable during Majd Addin's funeral, but failed due to Robert having taken precautions and disguising [[Maria Thorpe]] as himself as a decoy.<ref name="AC"/>
When Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad, who by 1257 had become the [[Mentor]] of the Levantine Assassins, dispersed the Assassins from Masyaf,<ref name="ACTSC">''[[Assassin's Creed: The Secret Crusade]]''</ref> the Levantine Assassins shifted their primary presence in the {{Wiki|Levant}} to Jerusalem, working in secret.<ref name="ACR">''[[Assassin's Creed: Revelations]]'' - [[Mediterranean Defense]]</ref>
===Renaissance===
By the time the [[Renaissance]] had begun spreading through Europe, the [[Mamluks]] were ruling over Jerusalem. Unlike the Saracens, the Mamluks directly opposed the Assassins and attempted to erase their presence from the city. In 1511, the Mamluks arrested the Assassins' [[Assassin leader|leader]] [[Mujir]] in order to intimidate them, but their attempt failed when he was rescued by a group of [[Turkish Assassins|Ottoman Assassins]] sent from [[Constantinople]] by [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze]]. With help from the Ottoman Assassins, the city eventually came under strong Assassin control and flourished.<ref name="ACR"/>
