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.
Assassin's Creed
Altaïr, Malik and Kadar were sent by Al Mualim to retrieve and secure the Templar treasure located there in 1191. Upon arrival, Altaïr violated the first tenet of the Creed by murdering an innocent elderly man who Altair 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. Altaïr imprudently attacked de Sable, who deflected the charge and delivered a cryptic warning to the brash assassin. He then hurled Altaïr through a support beam, cutting him off from the chamber and his companions. Altaïr believed the mission failed and 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, 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.
