Background
Tancrede de Nerac, a former Knight of the Templars has become a
lawless desert pirate and has taken the name As-Sayf derived from the
sword he carries -the Arabian scimitar. After years of being a mercenary,
he becomes disillusioned. He heard of a prophet, Simon de Lancrois who is
supposed to have collected a following of people of different races and
religions to build an ideal city away from the world. Impressed by this
dream, he leaves his companion in arms, Caradoc and goes in search for the
city where the followers of Simon the prophet is supposed to
be.
Jebus
Tancrede de Nerac aka As-Sayf wants to see the prophet’s dream in
the city of Jebus.
As-Sayf arrives in front of the chained gate of Jebus riding on his
horse, Phorbas. On the left side of the gate, a plaque can be seen.
Clicking on areas around or in the plaque will hear how the people joined
together and the dreams they have for the raising of the city of Jebus. On
the right side of the gate, a little behind the horse, is a wall
inscription charging Simon de Lancrois of being a “murderer”. Note the
bricklike protrusion.
An oasis with a well is seen to the left and beyond that is
a discarded caravan. Inside the caravan, pick up the rope, adze and tineul/metal bar. Look inside the
chest and get the big key.
Go back to the gate and place the tineul on the center of
the chains. Click the rope on top end of the tineul. Click Phorbas on the end of the
rope. Enter the city.

leader of Jerusalem, asks if you are a soldier guarding Jerusalem and if
you get his medicine from the herbalist he will be your guide. When you
give him his medicine, he will ask to have a drink with you. If you
refuse, he will not help you. If you agree and drink, you will be
