at first it glorified the muslims against the crusaders, then in a plot twist the muslim leader turned out to be a power hungry tyrant brainwashing people with an ancient artifact of mind control or something like that.
It uses major historical time periods and events, even people, as a backdrop for their fictional war between 2 factions more or less based on actual secret societies.
The templars are obviously based off the knight's templar, the assassins are based off some islamic cult of assassins from around the year 1000
They try to fuck around with the philosophies of both a bit but in general it boils down to
>templars are authoritarians and that's bad because reasons
>assassins are lolbertarians and that's good because reasons
They try to induce a bit of wiggle room for debate within these philosophies around ac3 but the based templar character is a racemixer who debates ideologies with his mutt son lmao https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pWhc6KGu11E
(worth a watch though i think)
Eventually somewhere down the line they drop all sense of subtlety and make the assassins pure good in every way and the templars pure evil in every way. Typical 'murican ideology of lolbertarians fighting one dimensional authoritarian villains who just want power and to enslave mankind. I haven't been paying attention to the lore in a long time, from what i heard it just turned into total slop
