[[File:ACIII-ShardofEden 1.png|thumb|150px|A Shard of Eden.]]<br />
The '''Shards of Eden''' were ring-like [[Pieces of Eden]], which were invented by the [[First Civilization]] to serve as personal shields for their wearers. The Shards projected an electromagnetic field which protected their wearers from projectile damage, such as energy weapons as well as conventional weapons.<br />
<br />
At some point, a Shard came into the possession of the renowned privateer [[William Kidd]], and its ability to deflect metal or, more specifically, metal [[Firearms|musket balls]], contributed to stories of Kidd's invincibility. Kidd eventually chose to hide his Shard on [[Oak Island]], to keep it safe from [[Templars|Templar]] forces who sought it. To this end, Kidd created a map that provided clues to the Shard's location, and divided it among four of his former crew members.<br />
<br />
Years later, the [[Assassins|Assassin]] [[Ratonhnhaké:ton|Connor]] managed to gather the four pieces of the map and, together with [[Robert Faulkner]], traveled to Oak Island to obtain the Shard. Though both wondered why Kidd protected this "treasure" so carefully, Connor soon realised its power when it threw Faulkner's whiskey bottle out of his hand.<br />
<br />
==Trivia==<br />
*Subsequent to Connor's acquisition of the Shard, its effects were present while reliving the memories of [[Haytham Kenway]].<br />
*The Shard's effect could also be observed on [[Desmond Miles]] after he had relived the memory in which Connor found it.<br />
*The shard shares many features with the rings of Neodymium magnets found in miniature motors. This is interesting with the strong magnetic field given off by said neodymium magnets.<br />
