For centuries, a secret conflict has existed between two ancient organizations: the Assassins and the Templars. Their struggle is not fought openly on battlefields. Instead, it is fought through espionage, politics, infiltration, manipulation, and carefully chosen targets.
Most people know nothing about this conflict. Kings, nobles, merchants, soldiers, and commoners may unknowingly serve the interests of one side without ever learning the true nature of the organizations behind them.
The Assassin–Templar conflict is not simply "good versus evil."
Assassins can make mistakes, disobey orders, become obsessed with their missions, or disagree about what freedom requires.
Templars can genuinely believe they are protecting civilization and preventing suffering through order.
Both organizations contain individuals with different personalities, motivations, and moral beliefs.
The secret war is ultimately a conflict between freedom and control, with ordinary people caught between the two.
