However, if you use a horse, be wary that groups of guards can attack the horse so you are thrown off and roadblocks formed by soldiers. You may also have difficulty crossing villages and fortresses spread through the Kingdom; you may have to leave your horse and draw your blade to deal with the pursuing guards.

The Kingdom was the landscape that connects the areas of Masyaf, Acre, Jerusalem, Damascus, and Arsuf. Within the Kingdom were numerous small villages, dwarfed by the massive cities they connected.

Third Crusade

During the Third Crusade, the Kingdom acted as a neutral territory between the Crusaders in Acre, and the Saracen controlled cities of Damascus and Jerusalem. The western end of the Kingdom was actively militarized by the Lionheart Crusaders. The eastern region fell under the jurisdiction of the Saracen army. Both sides possessed fortified armies, that defended against one another and the Assassins. The Templars had a large presence throughout the Kingdom.

Guards

Both sides of the war fortified their armies. The Assassin Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad was able to find guard patrols, guard camps, and archer towers. All guards patrolling in formation within the Kingdom were constantly informed of Altaïr's presence and would attack the Assassin if they noticed any socially unacceptable behavior. Altaïr was able to cross the region in haste, through the use of horses. He would instantly become anonymous when he returned to the Assassin-controlled part of the kingdom.
