'''Jerusalem''' was a city located in the hills of the Judean Mountains, in between the Mediterranean and the Dead Sea.
==History==
===High Middle Ages===
In the early 12<sup>th</sup> century, the [[Templars|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. This organization became known as the Knights Templar, allowing the Templars to become public for the first time since their Order's founding.<ref name="ACR">''[[Assassin's Creed: Revelations]]''</ref>
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 the 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 Templars and [[Assassins]]. 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 "[[Apple of Eden #2|Apple of Eden]]", an artifact that was 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|Assassins]]' headquarters in [[Masyaf]].<ref name="AC"/>
Throughout the rest of the year, Altaïr 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 was [[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 his fellow Templar [[Maria Thorpe]] as himself to act as a decoy.<ref name="AC"/>
When Altaïr, 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> they shifted their primary presence in the {{Wiki|Levant}} to Jerusalem, working in secret.<ref name="ACRM">''[[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 the Mentor of the [[Italian Assassins]], [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze]]. With help from the Ottoman Assassins, the city eventually came under strong Assassin control and flourished.<ref name="ACRM"/>
