| This article is about the location. You may be looking for the battle at Solomon's Temple. |
Solomon's Temple, or Holy of Holies, was the biblical First Temple of the Jews, originally constructed by King Solomon on Mount Moriah in Jerusalem. It was designed to hold the Ark of the Covenant, and a Piece of Eden.
History
The Assassins Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad, Malik Al-Sayf and Kadar A-Sayf were sent by Al Mualim to retrieve and secure the Templar treasure located here in 1191. Upon arrival, Altaïr violated the first tenet of the Creed by murdering an innocent, elderly man, whom Altaïr believed could have alerted the guards.
The Assassins found Robert de Sable and his men in the temple's primary chamber, about to reach the Piece of Eden. Altaïr broke the second tenet by exposing himself to his target. Robert deflected the charge and ordered the Assassin to deliver a cryptic warning, before hurling Altaïr through a support beam, and cutting him off from the chamber and his Brothers.
Altaïr believed that the mission had failed, and thus returned to Masyaf to report the events to Al Mualim, leaving Malik and Kadar for dead. Malik managed to retrieve and deliver the Piece of Eden to his master, though losing his left arm and his brother in the process.
Altaïr's arrogant actions and violation of the three tenets of the Creed in Solomon's Temple led to his demotion to the rank of Novice.
Trivia
- When looking above the ceiling, one can see light passing through the cracks between the rocks.
