Assassin’s Creed storyline revealed

This is Assassin’s Creed Storyline Diary where director Jade Raymond explains a little more about the mysterious PS3, Xbox 360 & PC game from Ubisoft Montreal. I had already noticed the missing finger, but didn’t know about the historical background being used, I’m digging it, do you?

Assassin’s Creed short synopsis:
“Our story follows a disgraced master Assassin (Altair) who embarks on an epic quest to restore his status within the Assassin Order. After failing to assassinate the Templar Leader (Robert de Sable) and recover the legendary Templar Treasure, Altair is demoted to Uninitiated (the lowest rank in the Assassin order).

Sinan, Leader of the Assassins, offers our hero an opportunity to redeem himself. Altair must venture out into the Holy Land and assassinate men said to be exacerbating and exploiting the hostilities created by the Third Crusade. In doing so, he will stabilize the region, allowing Sinan to usher in an age of peace.

When our game begins, Richard the Lionheart has just recaptured the port city of Acre from occupying Saracens. With a base of operations established, the Crusaders prepare to march south. Their true target is Jerusalem – which they intend to recapture in the name of the Church. However, Saladin, leader of the Saracen Army, currently rules Jerusalem. Stinging from his army’s defeat at Acre, he will now allow Richard to humiliate him again. The Saracens are massing at the ruins of Fortress Arsuf, intending to ambush the Crusaders and prevent them from reaching Jerusalem.

These war maneuvers have left the rest of the Holy Land wide open. While Richard and Saladin battle one another, the men left to govern in their stead have begun taking advantage of their newfound positions of power. Exploiting, manipulation, and provocation rule the day. It is into this chaotic mess our hero now finds himself thrust. He is ordered to assassinate those most active in their exploitation.

And so Altair begins his missions.

Along the way, however, he will begin to discover that his targets are bound by more than just a shared interest in personal gain. They seem to share membership in a secret society – a group all too familiar to the Assassins. And they are not simply looking for profit. The true goal, and how they plan to achieve it are secrets to be discovered during the course of our story.”

Well cylar in a way your both correct, and a little off. “Fundamentalist” like what airiaso said consider themselves CORRECT and doing right for allah (who is the same as the christian god) In the Islamic faith there are five main pillars (similar to commandments) that state stuff like Pilgramage to mecca, daily prays, giving of money… etc etc….. But there is atleast another one that isnt as mainstream, that says to the extent, that Holy War is Permitted (the non fundametalist look at it as not “”WAR”" but the ability to defend their religon if threatened or scrutinized, and rarely do they get physically HOSTILE) Fundametalist look at this TOO plainly, they see it as “WAR we need War” “death to non believers”..la de da la de da…… And technically Thunder isnt totally correct in saying its just Al quieda, but fundamentalist as a whole.

Srry just wanted to clarify
