Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad

Altaïr's domain is a strict re-creation of his home and birthplace, Masyaf Castle and the surrounding hillside. Located atop steep cliffs, the Horizon's version of Masyaf does not include the local village that sits outside the wooden gates at the bottom of the hill, nor does it have a view of the treacherous landscape that surrounds it in real life, but any Summoned who visits and looks beyond the domain's borders will somehow feel that they are amidst mountains.



The castle walls house an interior courtyard with a large training ring, weapon racks, small stable area and a hill leading to the primary fortress building. Built into the walls are storage areas for weapons, food and supplies, barracks and other necessities to live in and defend Masyaf.



Notable features of the domain include:

Ramparts

The southern ramparts serve as both an excellent watchpoint for anyone approaching the castle/domain and an excellent means of intimidation. Who wouldn't be a little freaked out to see a resident of the castle leap to their apparent death? It's not like the hay bales below are viewable from the outside, after all.



The Main Hall

The first floor of the main building houses a large library of books on philosophy, mathematics, rhetoric, and more practical crafts like metalsmithing. Of course, Altaïr has not memorized all the books that exist in life, so the ones in the Horizon are largely blank or unintelligible; but they are very very impressive on the shelf.



The Master's Study

Two flights up leads to the primary writing and studying area of...well, someone important, it seems, once upon a time. When in the Horizon, Altaïr does a lot of his writing here.



The Gardens

On the other side of the main hall, in the back of the main fortress is a multi-tier garden area. Very peaceful and relaxing. Perfect for consorting with houris while under the influence of hashish, which the Assassins have never actually done. Also perfect for murdering your double-crossing father figure who got you to do his dirty work and then turned on you, which Altaïr...may have done actually.
