The '''Frontier''' was a large tract of countryside located in the [[United States|American]] north-east. Many battles of the [[French and Indian War]] and the [[American Revolutionary War]] took place here.

The Frontier consisted mostly of wilderness, containing cliffs, forests, rivers, and mountains. It was also inhabited by a variety of animals, including bears, beavers, deer, wolves, rabbits, and elk.<ref name="GameInformer">''GameInformer'' April 2012 issue: ''[[Assassin's Creed III]]''</ref>

While [[Boston]] and [[New York City]] were the primary settlements located near the Frontier, the countryside itself also contained several small Native American and European ones, including the towns of [[Lexington]], [[Concord]], [[Charlestown]], and [[Ratonhnhaké:ton]]'s [[Mohawk]] village. One could also find logging camps, mills, and trading posts.<ref name="GameInformer Exploring">[http://www.gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2012/03/19/exploring-the-assassin-39-s-creed-iii-frontier.aspx GameInformer: ''Exploring The Assassin's Creed III Frontier'']</ref>

As the war dragged on, the condition of the towns would change during the preparation or aftermath of a battle. At different times, one could find battalions of men readying for a charge, or injured soldiers by abandoned tents.<ref name="GameInformer Exploring" />

The [[Assassins|Assassin]] Ratonhnhaké:ton was particularly skilled in navigating the Frontier, and was able to climb and [[Freerunning|free-run]] across tree branches, granting him an advantage over his enemies traveling below.<ref name="GameInformer" />

== Trivia ==
*The Frontier is reputedly 1.5 times larger than ''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]'''s [[Rome]], meaning it is the largest map in the [[Assassin's Creed (series)|''Assassin's Creed'' series]] to date.
*The Frontier is the setting for around 30% of the main storyline content for ''[[Assassin's Creed III]]''.
*It is impossible to gain or reduce notoriety in the frontier.
