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.

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.

Years later, the [[Assassins|Assassin]] [[Ratonhnhaké:ton|Connor]] managed to gather the four pieces of the map and, together with [[Robert Faulkner]], the pair 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.

==Trivia==
*Subsequent to Connor's acquisition of the Shard, its effects were present while reliving the memories of [[Haytham Kenway]].
*The Shard's effect could also be observed on Desmond, after he had relived the memory in which Connor found it.
*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.

{{Quote|It was Aita who volunteered to see if it might be done. Aita, my husband, my love.|Juno.|Assassin's Creed III}}
'''Aita''' was a member of the [[First Civilization]] and the husband of [[Juno]]. In his time, Aita helped Juno, [[Minerva]], and [[Jupiter]] sort through the solutions given to them at the [[Grand Temple]], in order to prevent the [[Toba catastrophe|First Disaster]], which he was able to do until the fourth solution was tested.

After their first three attempts of preventing the First Disaster failed, Juno and the others sought to save their race by means of smaller proportions. The fourth solution was to internally change the bodies of their kind, to what would survive the new, hostile world to come. In order to test this solution, they would need a living test subject, for which Aita volunteered.

As the solution was tested, Aita's mind deteriorated within an instant; while his body would survive, his mind became brittle and catatonic. With enough will, he asked his wife to end his suffering, and Juno regrettably fulfilled his request by stabbing him in the heart, euthanizing him.

==Trivia==
*In Etruscan mythology, Aita was the name for the underworld, as well as the corresponding anthropomorphized deity, just as in the Greek Hades and Roman Pluto. In this regard, Etruscans depicted Aita as a bearded male wearing a wolfskin cap.
