Are we sure that the branch of Assassins in Alamut was considered Levantine? Certainly, it was closely related seeing that in real-life, it and the other fortresses in the Levant were officially of one state. As well, certainly the Levantine branch was derived from them. However, Alamut is not actually in the Levant, being in northern Persia. Moreover, in at least one source (i.e. ''[[Assassin's Creed: Official Game Guide]]'', which while not the most reliable source, being low in priority on the canonicity scale, is still a canon source for lore if it doesn't contradict anything), it is explained that Al Mualim was sent from Alamut to establish his own branch in Masyaf due to ideological differences with the Mentor of Alamut, apparently possibly owing to Al Mualim's secret lust for power.

Summer/winter residence
Wasn't Alamut said to be the summer or winter residence of the Assassins, and then they switched over to Masyaf for the other half of the year? If so, shouldn't it be on the Assassins page as part of their locations in the Middle Ages? Slate Vesper 14:17, May 4, 2012 (UTC)

Further Reading
Hey guys, long time no see.
If anyone's looking for further reading about Alamut, I found a rather interesting article regarding its early history under historical Hashashin rule. It's a summary of historic fact instead of part of the AC canon, but it's a good read nonetheless:

Levantine?
Are we sure that the branch of Assassins in Alamut was considered Levantine? Certainly, it was closely related seeing that in real-life, it and the other fortresses in the Levant were officially of one state. As well, certainly the Levantine branch was derived from them. However, Alamut is not actually in the Levant, being in northern Persia. Moreover, in at least one source (i.e. Assassin's Creed: Official Game Guide, which while not the most reliable source, being low in priority on the canonicity scale, is still a canon source for lore if it doesn't contradict anything), it is explained that Al Mualim was sent from Alamut to establish his own branch in Masyaf due to ideological differences with the Mentor of Alamut, apparently possibly owing to Al Mualim's secret lust for power.
