Editing Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad (section)

====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.
