	In April 1521, a Spanish expedition led by the [[Portugal\|Portuguese]] explorer Ferdinand Magellan arrived on the Filipino island of Cebu, where they quickly established an alliance with the local chief [[Rajah Humabon]], converting him and his subjects to [[Christianity]]. While the expedition's goal was allegedly to find [[gold]] and spices, in reality, Magellan was searching for a Piece of Eden that he had managed to track to the region.<ref name="FT 41">''[[Assassin's Creed: Forgotten Temple]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Forgotten Temple Episode 41\|Episode 41]]</ref>		In April 1521, a Spanish expedition led by the [[Portugal\|Portuguese]] explorer Ferdinand Magellan arrived on the Filipino island of Cebu, where they quickly established an alliance with the local chief [[Rajah Humabon]], converting him and his subjects to [[Christianity]].

	After Magellan found the ~~Piece~~ on Cebu, Humabon informed him that ~~the artifact~~ was just a fragment of a [[Southeast Asian Pieces of Eden\|larger ~~one~~]], with one of the other sections kept on the neighboring Mactan Island by his rival, Lapu-Lapu. Magellan then began making plans to acquire the ~~artifact~~ and turn both Cebu and Mactan into colonies of the Spanish Empire.<ref name="FT 41" />		After Magellan found the [[Crescent amulet\|artifact]] hidden on Cebu, Humabon informed him that it was just a fragment of a [[Southeast Asian Pieces of Eden\|larger relic]], with one of the other sections kept on the neighboring Mactan Island by his rival, Lapu-Lapu.
