Editing Stone of Scone

{{Era|Isu}}{{WP-REAL}}
The '''Stone of Scone''', also called the '''Stone of Fal''' and the '''Stone of Destiny''' (Scottish Gaelic: ''Lia Fàil''), is a [[Piece of Eden]] that takes the form of a large flat stone.<ref name = "Chapter 19">''[[Assassin's Creed: Fragments – The Highlands Children]]'' – Chapter 19: ''Confrérie''</ref> According to legend, the [[Tuatha Dé Danann]] brought the stone, along with four others, from [[Ireland]]. The [[Gaels]] later used it for their coronation rituals: every man called to become the King of [[Scotland]] must stand on it on the day of his enthronement.<!-- Original has it as "intronisation" --><ref name = "Chapter 19"/>

==History==
By the time of the [[First War of Scottish Independence]], the Stone was under the protection of the [[Scottish Brotherhood of Assassins]].<ref name = "Chapter 19"/> When [[Fillan]] arrived at [[Scone Abbey]], he saw 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"/> The [[Templars]] attacked the abbey and took the stone to Westminster, only to discover it was a fake.<ref name = "Chapter 23"/> The real stone had been placed in the care of [[William Wallace]], who kept moving throughout the winter, evading the [[Lann Fala]],<ref name = "Chapter 27">''Assassin's Creed: Fragments – The Highlands Children'' – Chapter 27: ''Révolte''</ref> though he was not able to deliver it to [[Iona]].<ref name = "Chapter 32">''Assassin's Creed: Fragments – The Highlands Children'' – Chapter 32: ''Dunstaffnage''</ref>

Upon arriving at [[Iona Abbey]], Fillan, [[Ailéas]], [[Moira]], [[Deorsa]] and [[James of Crannach]] saw the Stone abandoned by the entrance to the building, with [[Cornavii]] and two other Lann Fala members nearby.<ref name = "Chapter 34">''Assassin's Creed: Fragments – The Highlands Children'' – Chapter 34: ''Iona''</ref> After a fight that ended with the deaths of Deorsa, James and Cornavii's two soldiers, as well as an injured [[Sören]], Cornavii removed one of his gloves, placed it on the Stone and murmured some words, after which the Stone started glowing and the raindrops started crashing a few centimeters from the rock, against an invisible barrier. Symbols began to gleam on the Stone and a stream of golden energy flowed from it to surround Cornavii's forearm. Cornavii could then draw the energy of the stone towards him, which he then used against Moira and the twins, incapacitating them with painful visions.<ref name = "Chapter 35">''Assassin's Creed: Fragments – The Highlands Children'' – Chapter 35: ''Tonnerre''</ref>

Fillan was able to break through the illusions and attacked Cornavii, drawing his attention and allowing Ailéas and Moira to recover, with Ailéas joining in the fight against the Templar. Cornavii kept using the Stone during the fight, both to create openings in their defense or to dodge fatal blows, letting the energy around him explode to form a blinding shield. Moira told Ailéas to strike the Stone with her [[Swords of Fal|Sword of Fal]], which she did while her twin kept Cornavii occupied, causing an explosion of energy that knocked them all to the ground. The storm which had been roaring also subsided.<ref name = "Chapter 36">''Assassin's Creed: Fragments – The Highlands Children'' – Chapter 36: ''Lia Fàil''</ref> 

After a short moment to rest and for Moira to check on Sören, she had the twins help her move the Stone into the [[Iona Vault]], seeing as it was not broken, but merely disabled.<ref name = "Chapter 36"/>
