Temple of Sand

The Temple of the Sand was a legendary temple that appears in Assassin's Creed: Altaïr's Chronicles. Three keys were needed to access the Temple of the Sand, one was received from Fajera, the gypsy woman. The Temple of Sand is the location of the Chalice (a similar object to a Piece of Eden). Altaïr travels to the Temple of the Sand where he encounters Templar forces and fights his way to the antechamber, defeating the Axe Warrior. There, he finds an empty chest and Lord Basilisk, who hints that the Chalice is in fact a woman. Basilisk taunts him, and Altaïr runs back to Tyre before the temple collapses.
