Tyre is the city Altair visited during his adventures. It is notable for housing two of the Templars major bases of operations: the Stronghold and Hospital.
In 1190, Altair visited the city three times.
He first visited the city and infiltrated Templars hospital in order to kill Roland Napule and take the second key to the Temple of the Sand.
During his second visit, he attacked the heavily protected Templar Stronghold and nearly killed Basilisk.
The third time he was in the city, he tried to save Adha from the Templars, making his way to dock area. There, he finally killed Basilisk, but was unable to save the woman, who was taken by a ship to area unknown.
Tyre is a city in the South of Lebanon.The location of the city of Tyre is not in doubt, for it exists to this day on the same spot and is known as Sur... The character of the city has changed, however. In ancient times it was situated on an island, but from the time of Alexander the Great... the city has been linked to the mainland by a dike...Tyre was founded around 2750 BC according to Herodotus and it appears on monuments as early as 1300 BC. Philo of Byblos (in Eusebius) quotes the antiquarian authority Sanchuniathon as stating that it was first occupied by one Hypsuranius. Sanchuniathon's work is said to be dedicated to "Abibalus king of Berytus" -- possibly the Abibaal who was king of Tyre. There are ten Amarna letters dated 1350 BC from the mayor, Abi-Milku, written to Akenaten. The subject is often water, wood, and the Habiru overtaking the countryside, of the mainland, and how it affected the island-city.
