The '''Feathered Forest''' (羽林) was a long-standing imperial guard unit in [[China|imperial China]]. They were chiefly responsible for security at the imperial palaces, particularly serving as a night patrol force. During the [[Tang dynasty]], they were divided into left and right wings and were known collectively with the left and right wings of the [[Army of Dragon Warriors]] as the Four Armies of the Northern Gate (北門四軍).<ref name="Dynasty 5">''[[Assassin's Creed: Dynasty]]'' – [[The Flower Banquet (Part 5)]]</ref>

At the [[Flower Banquet]] of 754,<ref name="Dynasty 1">''[[Assassin's Creed: Dynasty]]'' – [[The Flower Banquet (Part 1)]]</ref> Right Chancellor [[Yang Guozhong]] left his victorious [[Yang Guozhong's flower delegates|team of contestants]] waiting outside the [[Flower and Calyx Pavilion]] all night unable to join in the festivities.<ref name="Dynasty 3">''[[Assassin's Creed: Dynasty]]'' – [[The Flower Banquet (Part 3)]]</ref> Idling around the [[Gazebo of Submerged Fragrance]],<ref name="Dynasty 3" /> they were [[assassination|assassinated]] by the [[Hidden Ones|Hidden One]] [[Li E]] for their massacre of [[Duling Village]],<ref name="Dynasty 4">''[[Assassin's Creed: Dynasty]]'' – [[The Flower Banquet (Part 4)]]</ref> and their corpses were discovered soon after by one of Guozhong's servants, who promptly had the Feathered Forest clean-up the crime scene to await further orders from the chancellor.<ref name="Dynasty 5" /> When the servant reported this privately to Guozhong, the chancellor instructed him to order the Feathered Forest to quietly search for the murderer while keeping the news from leaking so as not to spoil the [[Li Longji|Emperor]]'s party.<ref name="Dynasty 5" />

Although the Feathered Forest scoured every building on the palace grounds and guarded all the gates, they were unable to locate Li E, for he eluded them from the rooftops.<ref name="Dynasty 5" /> Unbeknownst to them, their culprit slipped right by them in a [[peony]] [[wagon|carriage]] driven out of the palace by the young scholar [[Yan Jiming]], son of [[Grand protector|Grand Protector]] [[Yan Gaoqing]] of [[Changshan Commandery|Changshan]], and his chauffeur [[Chen Wu]]. They were unwilling to search the carriage due to the Yan family's status.<ref name="Dynasty 6">''[[Assassin's Creed: Dynasty]]'' – [[The Flower Banquet (Part 6)]]</ref>
