The Ambush |
| Syria, Palestine: In the year of our Lord 1187. The territories occupied by the |
| Latins under Guy of Lusignan |
| King of Jerusalem and the united realms of the Ayyubids under Sultan Saladin |
| were keeping an unstable truce |
| Knowing that this truce could be broken by the pettiest trespass Lord Raynald |
| of Chatillon, a confident of the King |
| Regularly attacked and plundered Muslim caravans |
| These misdeeds driven by pride, hatred and greed provoked the single greatest |
| catastrophe in the history of the crusades and sealed the beginning of the end |
| of Christian reign in Outremer |
| A reign based on faith, courage, honour and glory, carried throughout the land |
| on blazing wings of thunder |
| «In the year 1177 the Crusaders had defeated Saladin’s forces at the Battle of |
| Montgisard |
| What ensued was a truce which was repeatedly broken by the Christian king’s |
| ally Raynald of Chatillon who attacked peaceful Muslim caravans without any |
| obvious reason |
| Longing for war he couldn’t foresee that his actions would trigger the |
| beginning of the end of the Christian dominance over the Holy Land. |
