Assassin's Creed: Unholy Land

Assassin's Creed: The Secret Crusade takes place in 1191-January 1, 1258 during the Third Crusades and the Mongol Invasion. We follow Altair Ibn-La' Ahad, the arrogant and young Master Assassin who defies the tenets of the Assassin's Creed and finds himself at the mercy of Rashid ad-Din Sinan, or Al Mualim, the Mentor of the Brotherhood. Altair's journey takes him to the streets of Damascus, the rooftops of Acre, and the holy city of Jerusalem. The setting is placed during a time of death and destruction, and the Assassins are the pinnacle of the death and chaos during this time period. Innocents are murdered left and right, Muslims being slaughtered for simply what the believe in, and the Christian army pressing the attack against the Muslims. All sides are at fault, but there are heroes and villains on both sides of the conflict.
