The Assassins Decline.

"The Templars and the Assassins: The Militia of Heaven" Page 139, Syrian Assassins after Sinan


• The Syrian and Persian assassins had to rely more on Alamut after the death of Sinan, which is ironic because Sinan didnt consider him self allied with Alamut, but allied with Assassins, and sometimes Alamut even hated Sinan and sent assassins agaisnt him.

• Franks tried to negotiate with the Assassins by bringing valuable gifts. The Assassins were honored by the Franks having gifts, but the Assassins would only negoitate at Alamut, their main headquaters.

• In 1230, the Assassins aided the Hopsitallers, another order, in millitary efforts agaisnt the papacy. Which is ironic because later the Assassins would be attacked by the Hospitallers and forced to pay an annual tribute to them.

• 1256, Alamut fell to the Mongolians. The Syrian Assassins were ended and all the remained were small sources of Nizaris and the Persian Assassins. The Persian Assassins were now more independent and had no allies.

• By 1273 The small traces of Nizaris in Syria were wiped out, and all Assassin fortresses were under either Mongol, Baybar, or Hospitaller control.
