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.
