Editing Database: The Apples of Eden

My fascination with the enigmatic [[Apples of Eden]] continues to deepen. Apparently, these remarkable spheroidal artifacts, meticulously crafted by the [[Isu|Precursor]]s, were devised to exert control over [[human]]kind, exploiting the intricate genetic composition of our species. Our very nature makes us uniquely susceptible to the profound influence wielded by these [[Piece of Eden|object]]s.

Delving into the annals of time, we journey back to approximately 75,010 BCE when [[Eve]], a unique Isu-human [[hybrid]], harnessed the power of her mixed heritage to resist the mind-altering properties embedded within the Apples of Eden. In a courageous act, Eve and her companion [[Adam]] liberated other humans from the clutches of enslavement, igniting the spark of the rebellion against their creators that culminated in the sprawling conflict known as the [[Human-Isu War]]. This act of defiance has interlaced with the tapestry of human mythology, giving birth to the legend of Adam and Eve banished from the idyllic Garden of [[Eden]] for their audacity to partake in the forbidden fruit.

The powers harbored within the Apples of Eden are vast, and capable of reshaping reality through the mere force of thought. Historical records reveal the [[Six methods of salvation|futile endeavors of the Isu]], who sought to exploit this potential by launching an Apple of Eden into Earth's celestial orbit in the grand ambition to manipulate human consciousness, implanting the belief that our world would be shielded from the imminent Toba Catastrophe. However, even the mighty Apples could not alter the course of destiny.

Beyond their reality-altering capabilities, these artifacts also seem to be invaluable repositories of ancient knowledge, encapsulating an astonishing wealth of Precursor information. Some Apples can also track the elusive fragments of other Isu artifacts scattered across the globe. As the [[Modern times|21st century]] unfolds, [[Templars|we]] can confirm the existence of multiple Apples of Eden out there.

'''Known Owners:''' [[Bayek]], [[Al Mualim]], [[Altaïr]], [[Elizabeth I of England|Elizabeth I]], and [[Mahatma Gandhi|Gandhi]]

'''Current Status:''' Destroyed

The Apple of Eden was originally recovered from the [[Order of the Ancients]] by Bayek, who hid it within Aya's hideout in [[Alexandria]]. The former [[Mentor]] of the [[Assassins]] of [[Masyaf]], Al Mualim, obtained it in the 12th century, but Altaïr exposed his treachery and recovered the Apple. Subsequently, the Apple passed through the hands of Queen Elizabeth I and later Gandhi, who was tragically assassinated by Templar agents seeking the artifact for themselves. The Apple was finally destroyed in 2011 in an accident at an [[Abstergo]] facility beneath [[Denver International Airport]].

'''Known Owners:''' [[Nikola Tesla]], [[Thomas Edison]], [[Henry Ford]], and [[Adolf Hitler]]

'''Current Status:''' Unknown, probably owned by the Assassins

This ancient and mysterious Apple has been in the possession of history's most infamous visionaries, intriguers, and warmongers, and has remained at the heart of the Templars' pursuit of power. It's existence was first recorded in 10th-century [[China]], but it didn't resurface until the 19th century when it was discovered by Nikola Tesla. Tesla intended to use it as part of his grand vision of harnessing its energy to power the world for free, but the Templar Thomas Edison thwarted his ambition, acquiring the Apple for himself. The Apple ended up in the hands of various influential figures, including [[Mark Twain]] and Henry Ford. Ford effectively ensured the triumph of [[Capitalism]] by employing the Apple's power to manipulate workers in his factories, before sending it to Adolf Hitler in 1933 at the insistence of the Templars. With the Apple, Hitler was able to seize power and launched a world war that ultimately served the Templar's industrial interests. Later, the Templars kidnapped Tesla to help them create a proto-Animus called [[Die Glocke]]. '[[Project Rainbow]]', in temporary alliance with the Assassins in 1943, was a misguided mission to prevent the worst atrocities of [[World War II]].
|-|Apple of Eden 7=
'''Known Owners:''' [[Charles Pearson]], [[Cavanagh]], and Sir [[David Brewster]]

'''Current Status:''' Destroyed

Cavanagh, a British Templar, sought out this Apple of Eden while building the world's first underground railway in the mid-nineteenth century. Cavanagh was slain and the Apple stolen by his rival, Templar [[Grand Master]] [[Crawford Starrick]]. At Starrick's behest, scientist David Brewster attempted to unlock its secrets. The Apple was destroyed and Brewster slain when an experiment in his [[Croydon]] laboratory backfired in 1868.
