{{Pre-release|[[Assassin's Creed Roleplaying Game]]}}
The '''Cult of Uni'''  were a secretive collective that operated throughout the [[Italy|Italian]] peninsula during the [[Roman Kingdom|early Roman period]]. Worshipping [[Juno|Uni]], they plotted to control the known world. They operated out of the [[Temple of Laran]] in the swamps north of the [[Tiber]], even trading the temple effigies for ones that portrayed Uni.<ref name="Conspiracy">''[[Assassin's Creed Roleplaying Game]] – [[Forging History]]'' – [[The First Conspiracy]]</ref>

==History==
In 717 BCE, [[Thresu]], a priest of Uni and one of the cult's most prominent members, infiltrated Roman, {{Wiki|Sabines|Sabine}}, and {{Wiki|Latins|Latin}} society, managing to convince prominent ''pater familias'', captains, and {{Wiki|Senate of the Roman Kingdom|senators}} into his conspiracy against king Romulus, promising conquest and power while slowly indoctrinating them into the cult. Senator [[Caius Galerius]] worked as Thresu's spokesman within the city walls, long operating in the shadows to recruit enough traitors for the plan. The murder was part of a larger plan that envolved stealing Romulus' [[Excalibur|Sword of Eden]] following his death in order to create a new order to rule and subjugate Rome, as demanded by Uni herself.<ref name="Conspiracy"/>

As the cult gathered in the temple to officiate the propitiatory ritual for the King's assassination, their reunion was infiltrated by members of the [[Shields of Mars]], a group founded by Romulus to defend Rome from the shadows. The Shields of Mars collected information about the traitors and their plan before killing Thresu during the ritual, hoping the superstitious Romans might perceive it as a bad omen.<ref name="Conspiracy"/> The murder of Thresu was not enough to stop the cult, however, with the assassination attempt the following day taking place even without him, though once again their efforts were thwarted by the Shields of Mars, who helped Romulus escape.<ref name="Wolves">''[[Assassin's Creed Roleplaying Game]] – [[Forging History]]'' – [[Of Wolves and Men]]</ref>
