Ezio, my friend! How may I be of service? This article is in desperate need of a revamp. Please improve it in any way necessary in order for it to achieve a higher standard of quality in accordance with our Manual of Style. |
Saracens refers to the Sunni Muslim armies (led by Saladin) involved in the Crusades (although it can be used to refer to Muslims or Arabs in general). During the time period revisited in Assassin's Creed, Saracens are defending the Holy Land from the Christian Crusader invaders, who seek to reclaim it in the name of Christ.
Although the Crusaders have had some victories (most notably the retaking of Acre), most of the Holy Land is still held by Saracens. The lands to the east and south-east are Saracen strongholds, and they occupy and hold the cities of Damascus and Jerusalem.
Saracen soldiers are similar to the Crusaders combat-wise. They speak Arabic and Turkish, and wear Lamellar armor.
Flags
The Saracens have spread 100 Saracen flags across the city of Damascus. Collecting them all will, in the Xbox 360 version of the game, grant the player an Achievement:
