[[File:Golden sword.jpg|thumb|400px|right|The Sword.]]
The '''Sword of Eden''' was a [[Piece of Eden]] created by [[Those Who Came Before]], possibly with the purpose of granting the wielder with superhuman power, or at the very least, it allows the wielder to penetrate any form of protection.

==Information==
'''Use:''' Most likely grants great power in combat.

'''Status:''' Unknown.

'''Neutral Ownership:''' [[Those Who Came Before]], [[Perseus]], [[Attila the Hun]], [[King Arthur]], Sigmund, [[Genghis Khan]], [[Jeanne d'Arc]].

'''Assassin Associated Ownership: none'''

''''''Temp''lar Associated Ownership:''' Killers of Jeanne d'Arc.

==History==
The Sword of Eden was created by Those Who Came Before centuries before the birth of [[Jesus Christ]].

The first usage of the sword by someone other than one of Those Who Came Before was by [[Perseus]], a "demigod" (the child of a god and a mortal), who was given the Sword by his father Zeus to help him slay the [[wikipedia:Gorgon|Gorgon]] [[wikipedia:Medusa|Medusa]].

The Sword came into possession of [[Attila the Hun]] during the 5th century, after a shepherd dug it up and took it to Attila.

In the late 5th, early 6th century, [[Arthur]] pulled the Sword, then called '''Excalibur''', out of a stone and used it to become King of England.

Possibly in the late 6th century, Odin, disguised as a beggar, plunged the Sword into a tree called Barnstokkr, claiming that the one who was able to pull it free would receive it as a gift. Only Sigmund was able to pull it free.

In the early 13th century, [[Genghis Khan]] obtained the Sword, which helped him to unite most of northeast Asia and become ruler of the Mongol Empire.

The female warrior [[Jeanne d'Arc]] came into the Sword's possession during the Hundred Years' War, which led to many victories for the French forces over the English and their allies. She was eventually captured by Burgundian soldiers and handed over to the English, who burned her at the stake for committing heresy. The Sword then came into possession of the [[Knights Templar]].

Armor of Altaïr

{{Quote|It is possessed of great strength, yet so light to allow complete freedom...|Altaïr's description of the armor in [[Codex]] page 19.}}

'''The armor of [[Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad]]''' was an unbreakable set of armor, usable in ''[[Assassin's Creed II]]'' and ''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]''.

==History==
Following the death of [[Al Mualim]], Altaïr adopted the rank of [[Grand Master of the Assassin Order|Grand Master]]. He later constructed an unbreakable set of armor, presumably using the [[Piece of Eden]]. He chronicled its creation in his fabled [[Codex]], where he admitted to discovering the properties of a new metal, from which the armor was created.<ref name="Assassin's Creed II">''[[Assassin's Creed II]]''</ref>

Following his death, Altaïr's armor was stored inside a vault below the [[Villa Auditore]], and locked behind bars that only opened when all six [[Assassin's Seals]] from hidden [[Assassin's Tombs]] were collected and placed on their respective statues. In Altaïr's Codex, he claimed to have created a new metal that was incredibly strong, whilst also being light as a feather. In contrast to his older robes, Altaïr's armor was black, in line with the traditional color of the Grand Masters' robes.<ref name="Assassin's Creed II" />

At some point between 1492 and 1497,<ref name="Assassin's Creed II: Discovery">''[[Assassin's Creed II: Discovery]]''</ref><ref name="Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood">''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]''</ref> [[Ezio Auditore]], a descendant of Altaïr and an Assassin in his own right, managed to uncover the six Assassin seals, and claim the robes as his own. He would eventually wear this set of robes during the [[Bonfire of the Vanities]] and his confrontation with [[Rodrigo Borgia]] in [[Rome]].<ref name="Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood" />

Following this, Ezio returned to [[Monteriggioni]] and gave the armor a place of pride in his bed chamber. However, with the outbreak of the [[Siege of Monteriggioni]], the armor was struck by a cannonball and was lost under the rubble, with Ezio not having enough time to retrieve it during the attack. However, when [[Desmond Miles]] first entered the [[Sanctuary]], he encountered the ghost of an older Ezio wearing the armor. Due to this, it is possible that Ezio salvaged the armor from under the ruins of the Villa sometime after the death of Cesare Borgia .<ref name="Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood" />

==Trivia==
*According to a piece of [[:File:Art 14.jpg|concept art]], it seems that the [[armor]] was originally intended to be an invention of [[Leonardo da Vinci]] before being a creation of Altaïr.
*While wearing the armor in ''Assassin's Creed II'', the hood is never down during cut-scenes where it would normally be down if wearing Giovanni's Assassin robes.
*The cloak for Altaïr's armor, in addition to being black, is much longer than the one [[Ezio]] would wear with the other armor, and is made up of three layers. Each layer is longer than the one above it, and the longest, lower layer is segmented, which gives the whole piece a look resembling an eagle's wings. The back of the lower layer is also split down the middle, making it behave much like Altaïr's cloak from the original game, where each side would move up and down as the back of Altaïr's legs pushed against them.
*Altaïr's armor, unlike other armor in the game, can only be worn as a full set, and the robes underneath it cannot be dyed.
*Though it is not mandatory to complete the 6 tombs, the player must retrieve all the seals to gain full synchronization.
*The Missaglias armor set in ''Assassin's Creed II'' has the same total amount of health as Altaïr's Armor set. Although it is breakable, the player may want to use the Missaglias armor instead of Altaïr's Armor if they want Ezio to use the original robe.
*Altaïr's Armor has 25 health diamonds, as does the [[Armor of Brutus]], its spiritual predecessor in ''Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood''.
*Altaïr's Armor is available in ''Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood'' for 20 Uplay Points. The design is the same as in ''Assassin's Creed II'', without the new ''Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood'' graphics. Unfortunately, it is only cosmetic.
*In ''[[Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy]]'', the icon of an Elite [[Assassin]] wears armor extremely similar to the Armor of Altaïr.
