About Assassin's Creed

You play as Altair, a rouge assassin in medieval Jerusalem. The year is 1191 AD, and the Holy Land is being torn asunder by the Third Crusade. The order of Assassins attempts to keep Jerusalem from falling into either side of the conflict's hands. By suppressing both sides, the Assassins attempt to keep a neutral "peace" in Jerusalem, always making sure one side never becomes stronger than the other.
