'''Cebu''' is a province of the [[Philippines]] consisting of a main island and 167 surrounding islands and islets.

==History==
In 1521, the [[Spanish Empire|Spanish]] explorer [[Ferdinand Magellan]] arrived on the island with the main goal of locating an [[Piece of Eden|artifact]] left behind by [[Isu|Those Who Came Before]]. He met the local leader [[Rajah Humabon]] and converted him and the local population to {{Wiki|Catholic Church|Catholicism}} with an idea to turn Cebu in a Spanish colony. When Magellan was able to locate the artifact on the island, it was revealed to him by Humabon that it was merely a fragment of a larger artifact, which had been seized by [[Lapu-Lapu]], the chieftain of the neighboring {{Wiki|Mactan|Mactan Island}}. Magellan and his men {{Wiki|Battle of Mactan|fought against}} the artifact-empowered Lapu-Lapu and his men on the island beach, resulting in the Spanish defeat and Magellan's death.<ref name="EP 41">''[[Assassin's Creed: Forgotten Temple]]'' – Episode 41</ref>

Some years after Magellan's death, an explorer who came to follow up on Magellan's search visited the {{Wiki|Basilica del Santo Niño}} in Cebu, where he met a monk who reluctantly told him of Magellan's attempt to recover the powerful treasure and his fate. The monk made no mention of what happened to the artifact later on, leading the explorer to leave and delve deeper into the legend.<ref name="EP 41" />
