It looks like this category was replaced with the assassins guild category. Lacrossedeamon (talk) 20:02, October 16, 2019 (UTC)

As I had explained to Jasca before, not all Assassin branches are or were guilds. Sol Pacificus^(Cyfiero) 20:36, October 16, 2019 (UTC)

Can you explain and cite the differences to me as well? We have a page for guilds and other for bureaus and cells but none for branches. That might need to be rectified. Lacrossedeamon (talk) 22:19, October 16, 2019 (UTC)

"Branch" is just a descriptive, general term that covers guilds, cells, and Assassin branches that predate the guild system established by Altaïr ibn-La'Ahad. Now, due to retcons, I'm not entirely sure if there were still other other Assassin branches (like one in Egypt and one in Persia) prior to Altaïr's reforms. However, the guild system ceased to exist sometime after World War II or most definitely with the Great Purge. In the 21st century, all regional Assassin branches seem to operate with the cell system of organization, and some of our current articles on Assassin branches involve those we know to have been cells but have yet to canonically appear as guilds.
