==History==
At some point prior to 1296, Abbot [[Thomas of Balmerino]] became both the leader of the abbey and of the Scottish Brotherhood. In 1296, he hired [[Sören]] and his mercenaries to bring two [[Children of Fal]], [[Fillan]] and [[Ailéas]], from [[Berwick-upon-Tweed|Berwick]] to Scone Abbey, in an effort to keep them safe from the [[Templars]].<ref name = "Chapter 19">''Assassin's Creed: Fragments – The Highlands Children'' – Chapter 19: ''Confrérie''</ref><ref name = "Chapter 11">''Assassin's Creed: Fragments – The Highlands Children'' – Chapter 11: ''Rencontre''</ref>

A short time later, the leader of the [[Lann Fala]] [[Cornavii]] met with English army commander [[Bradley Dacre]] to inform him that the army would go to Scone and recover some important objects, the location of which they had learned thanks to [[James of Crannach|an informant]] behind the enemy lines.<ref name="Chapter 18">''Assassin's Creed: Fragments – The Highlands Children'' – Chapter 18: ''Emprise''</ref>

When the mercenaries arrived at the abbey, Sören went to talk with Thomas of Balmerino, while Fillan toured the building, encountering Assassins [[Deorsa]] and [[William Wallace]].<ref name = "Chapter 19"/> While talking with Wallace, Fillan spied  two monks making sure a replica<ref name = "Chapter 23">''Assassin's Creed: Fragments – The Highlands Children'' – Chapter 23: ''Ordre''</ref> of the stone was perfectly aligned and in no danger of falling from the two granite blocks it was perched upon.<ref name = "Chapter 19"/> That same night, Sören led Fillan down into the vault where the [[Assassin Council|Council of the Brotherhood]] met, where he would finally get some answers about the Assassins, the Templars and the Children of Fal. They would also gift him one of the [[Swords of Fal]] and invite him to join their Brotherhood,<ref name = "Chapter 20"/> which he would accept the following night.<ref name = "Chapter 21">''Assassin's Creed: Fragments – The Highlands Children'' – Chapter 21: ''Apprenti''</ref>

The English army arrived at Scone days before what Deorsa had expected, attacking them and setting fire to the building.<ref name = "Chapter 22">''Assassin's Creed: Fragments – The Highlands Children'' – Chapter 22: ''Bois''</ref> Though Scone Abbey was ransacked, the Assassins and the mercenaries managed to survive the attack.<ref name = "Chapter 24">''Assassin's Creed: Fragments – The Highlands Children'' – Chapter 24: ''Beinn Eallair''</ref>
