Just an update: I'm pretty much finished writing my message to Aymar, which is more of a full letter I think lol. I haven't sent it yet though because I wanted to spend a few days thinking over it in case I am forgetting some things.

You guys are making some excellent points by the way. :) Ezio's group proceeded directly from Zaragoza to Granada where as Aguilar's group is based in Andalusia. In Discovery, it is shown that there were many Templars within the Spanish army fighting in Granada. Add that with the Templar army under Ojeda, and it's entirely probable that communication between the two groups was limited because of a large Templar presence between them. The recent purge of Assassins throughout Iberia by the Inquisition should probably have also hampered communication. Maybe they didn't know exactly where to send the pigeons to or maybe they thought it unsafe or weren't sure if Benedicto's group was still around.

Since Granada was technically a separate country, with much of Andalusia being just land recently conquered from the Moors by the Spanish, it is entirely possible that Benedicto's branch was distinct from the one based in Aragon and Castile, but I'm not sure. Was it ever explicitly called a Moorish Brotherhood? In fact, I think it's kind of "fridge brilliance" that Benedicto's branch would maintain their outdated, archaic practices if they were a more isolated group.
