Editing Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad (section)

===Quest for the Chalice===

====Return to Alep====
In 1190, while returning from a journey, Altaïr encountered a village near the citadel of Alep under attack. He was informed by an Assassin guard that the Templars were responsible and given a sword to avenge the fallen Assassins. Fighting his way through many Templars, Altaïr came across an enemy archer who revealed that the assault was ordered by the Templar leader, Lord Basilisk, to obtain valuable information from a Brotherhood member.

After dealing with the Templar, Altaïr continued on, assassinated an enemy captain, and met with Al Mualim. He was then tasked with retrieving a powerful artifact known as "the Chalice," capable of greatly enhancing the power of whichever faction held it. With his mission clear, Altaïr set off for Damascus.

====Research in Damascus====
Upon reaching Damascus, Altaïr located a Rafiq disguised as a merchant and publicly announced the Assassins' password. The Rafiq led him to a secluded area, scolding him for his lack of discretion and demanding that Altaïr prove himself by killing an enemy. After completing the task, Altaïr inquired about the Chalice and was directed to Tamir, a merchant closely connected to the Templars.

To reach Tamir, whose residence was heavily guarded, the Rafiq suggested starting with a man named Misbah. Altaïr located Misbah and began interrogating him, but a city guard intervened. Misbah fled, and Altaïr chased him across rooftops until Misbah was left hanging from a rope after a plank collapsed. Altaïr offered safety in exchange for information, and Misbah revealed that Tamir's house contained a shipment of oil barrels. Altaïr left Misbah hanging and proceeded to set the oil barrels on fire, forcing Tamir out.

Confronted with the loss of his possessions, Tamir revealed that the Chalice was in a desert temple accessible only with three keys. He also mentioned that a dancer named Fajera held one of these keys. With the needed information, Altaïr killed Tamir.

====Acquiring the First Key====
Altaïr went to the circus where Fajera performed and confronted her. She refused to cooperate and summoned her friend, Badr, to fight Altaïr. After defeating Badr, Fajera fled, and Altaïr pursued her. He temporarily lost her trail when a bridge collapsed but spotted her again near a well.

Fajera, seeing Altaïr approach, willingly gave him the key, explaining that she had foreseen his arrival through her cards and had prepared to aid him. In return, she asked Altaïr to eliminate a man named Alaat at a nearby bathhouse. Altaïr navigated through old sewer tunnels to reach the bathhouse and assassinated Alaat before escaping. Grateful, Fajera informed him of another key holder in Tyre.

====Infiltrating the Hospital====
Arriving in Tyre, Altaïr met with a man named Hamid, who informed him that the next key holder was imprisoned in a hospital by Roland Napule. Altaïr navigated through the hospital’s heavily guarded passageways, assassinated Roland, and convinced the captive key holder of his allegiance to the Assassins by showing his missing ring finger. The key holder gave Altaïr the second key and told him that the third was in Jerusalem, held by Lord Basilisk himself.

====Confrontation in Jerusalem====
Upon reaching Jerusalem, Altaïr sought out the Rafiq Kadar, who informed him that Lord Basilisk's fierce reputation had earned him the King’s trust, and that he was often found in the King's company. Kadar suggested that Altaïr could use an upcoming royal party to get close to Basilisk. Altaïr headed to the City Gardens to eavesdrop on citizens and learned that a man named Ayman had an invitation to the party.

Altaïr confronted Ayman and extracted the location of the event from him. He then infiltrated the party through a secret passage and confronted Lord Basilisk. After a fierce battle, Altaïr managed to steal the final key and fled.
