Saint John's Gate

Saint John's Gate was the name used for the northern exit gate in the Middle District of the city Acre.

History

In 1191, the Levantine Assassin Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad eavesdropped on two Knights Teutonic at the square in front of Saint John's Gate.

Sibrand, Grand Master of the Knights Teutonic, wrote a letter to his Templar master Robert de Sablé, which was to be transfered by a dockworker to a courier at Saint John's Gate. However, Altaïr pickpocketed the letter before it could reach the courier.

Trivia

• Saint John's gate is identified as being to the north of the Assassins' Bureau in Acre by the Rafiq Jabal, as one of the locations in which Altaïr should focus his search for information regarding his target Sibrand. However, despite the Rafiq describing the docks in Acre harbor as being to the east of the Bureau, the Prima Official Game Guide mistakenly claims that Saint John's Gate comprises the two gates leading to the docks.
