The '''River Valley''' was a simulated environment generated by the [[Animus]] representing a number of rivers, including the Hudson, Potomac, St. Lawrence, and Mohawk, and their settlements located in the north eastern American colonies during the [[Seven Years' War]]. This simulation was used when a [[Helix]] [[Numbskull|research analyst]] at [[Abstergo Entertainment]] relived the [[genetic memories]] of [[Assassin]] turned [[Templar]] [[Shay Cormac]] in 2014.<ref name="Rogue">''[[Assassin's Creed: Rogue]]''</ref>

==History==
Despite the notes of explorers such as [[John Cabot]] about the gulf of the [[St. Lawrence River]], [[Jacques Cartier]] was the first [[Europe]]an explorer to sail the river with the aid of the [[Iroquois]] who had built their settlements there. He referred the northern area of the river as "[[Canada]]", mishearing it from the {{Wiki|Wyandot people|Huron}}-Iroquois word "Kanata", meaning "village".<ref name="Database">''[[Assassin's Creed: Rogue]]'' – [[Database: River Valley]]</ref>

Since then, other explorers and fur traders opened the territory and the [[France|French]] started to build their settlements, limiting the westward expansion of the [[United States|British]]. Threatened, the British clashed with the French, starting the [[Seven Years' War]] in 1755.<ref name="Database" />

During the war, the [[Templars|Templar]] [[Shay Cormac]] traveled along the rivers represented by the River Valley to eliminate the [[Assassins|Assassin]] threat and free the Iroquois. He also supported the British frontier against the colonies of the French.<ref name="Rogue" />

==Locations==
The River Valley included a number of settlements spanning a large swath of territory from Virginia up to the New York-Canadian border condensed into a much smaller and distorted area.

==Behind the scenes==
If taken to be an accurate representation of geography the River Valley is very poor. Relative placement of locations are distorted such as showing Mount Vernon in line with and connected to Sleepy Hollow via a waterway. Additionally many of the locations populating the map seem completely fictional.
