	'''Xi'an''' (西安), historically known as '''Chang'an''' (長安), is a major city in [[China]] which served as its capital during two of the most significant imperial dynasties: the [[Han dynasty\|Han]] and the [[Tang dynasty\|Tang]]. Nestled in the mountains, it is well protected from the east, where fortified chokepoints like [[Tong Pass]] long served to guard entry into the region.

	In the 21st century, Xi'an has served as the location of the Hi-Tech Industries Development Zone, which is almost entirely owned by the [[Templars\|Templar]]-run corporation [[Abstergo Industries]].

	In 2020, a tablet was unearthed in Xi'an bearing [[Isu script]]. A picture of the stone was sent to the [[Assassins\|Assassin]] [[Antony Henry]], a linguist who had discovered a way to translate one of the [[Isu]] dialects into English.

			The city of Chang'an was laid out in a grid system, adopted after the Tang dynasty succeeded the Sui dynasty. The grid system of Chang'an comprised a total of 109 wards, and two marketplaces on the east and west sides of the city. Arranged in design similar to a chessboard, the city was separated by Zhuque Street, with {{Wiki\|Chang'an, Xi'an\|Chang'an County}} to the west and {{Wiki\|Wannian County}} to the east.<ref name="Flower Banquet Special">''[[Assassin's Creed: Dynasty]]'' – [[The Flower Banquet (Special)]]</ref>
