History
Creation
Sometime before 1257, the Grand Master of the Assassin Order, Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad had a library built over the gardens of Masyaf. When finally complete, the library served as a collection of all the knowledge Altaïr had acquired from studying the Apple. More importantly however, Altaïr hid a weapon within his library, capable of ending the war between the Assassins and Templars.[1]
Wanting to keep the content of his library safe from the hands of the Templars, Altaïr had it locked up, with five keys being the only way to reopen it. During the Mongol siege of Masyaf, Altaïr left the keys in the possession of Niccolò and Maffeo Polo, who later hid them in Constantinople.[1]
