	==Behind the scenes==		==Behind the scenes==
	Roanoke Colony is only mentioned in the file "ROANOKE" of the [[Abstergo Story]], a series of informational texts and videos which effectively serve as the database for ''[[Assassin's Creed III]]'' [[multiplayer]]. As with the other files, the content in "ROANOKE" is brief and cryptic ~~and therefore difficult to interpret due to the lack of any indicator as to the speaker of each file, Assassin or Templar, though it is evident by context that the majority are Assassins~~.		Roanoke Colony is only mentioned in the file "ROANOKE" of the [[Abstergo Story]], a series of informational texts and videos which effectively serve as the database for ''[[Assassin's Creed III]]'' [[multiplayer]]. As with the other files, the content in "ROANOKE" is brief and cryptic.

	The ~~only meaningful~~ line ~~aside from Erudito's hacked~~ message is: "''What if they run simulations to see if we were here before? What if an Assassins' Colony had ever existed? What if they discovered that we were the model for their Utopia?''" Were it not for Erudito's commentary, "Where [''sic''] they here before the Templars?", which establishes that the object that the subject is said to predate are Templars, it would have been more ambiguous as to whether the original speaker is an Assassin or Templar. The meaning of the last question is particularly vague. The inclusion of the possessive pronoun ''their'' before ''utopia'' could suggest that the utopia in question refers specifically to the Templars' dreams of a New World Order. If this is the case, the Assassin would actually be implying that an Assassin colony ''inspired'' the Templar vision of a New World Order or is a model for it, a revelation that could be traumatic for both factions. In hindsight, this interpretation, though following the phrasing literally, is radical enough to be in doubt.		The original line in the message is:
			<blockquote>"''What if they run simulations to see if we were here before? What if an Assassins' Colony had ever existed? What if they discovered that we were the model for their Utopia?''"</blockquote>

	~~This article therefore assumes that~~ the ~~speaker, most likely an Assassin~~, is ~~referring to~~ the ~~possibility that~~ the ~~Templars would be forced to acknowledge that an Assassin colony is the model for utopia in general, an intuitive interpretation~~. ~~In this case~~, "~~their Utopia~~" ~~does not refer exactly to~~ the Templars' ~~New World Order but rather~~ the ~~intended meaning~~ is ~~actually '~~a ~~utopia~~, ~~sought by the Templars'~~.		The antecedents for the pronouns are unclear, as is the identity and affiliation of the speaker. Erudito's annotation, ""''Where ''[''sic'']'' they here before the Templars?''" that is added in the "hacked" version of clarifies that the original speaker is not a Templar, which suggests it is an Assassin.

	~~The transcript also surmises that if~~ the ~~Roanoke Colony were an Assassin~~ colony~~, it would mean that the Assassins~~' ~~presence in the Americas predate~~ that of the ~~Templars~~. This ~~would be incorrect as the Templar James Gunn explored the continent in 1398 according~~ to ~~''[[Assassin~~'s ~~Creed: Rogue]]''~~. ~~However, as~~ the ~~line that raises this theory does not clarify "predate~~" ~~in what way, the speaker may be referring to predating in terms of an attempt at a ''permanent'' presence or the establishment of a branch~~.		In real history, the most probable explanation for the colony's disappearance is that the survivors migrated north to seek refuge with indigenous communities, into which they then assimilated.<ref name="Nichols 2014" /> This theory is alluded to by Erudito's musing that the colony was "guided. . .into the wild".

	~~;Analysis~~		Roanoke Colony is only mentioned in the file "ROANOKE" of the [[Abstergo Story]], a series of informational texts and videos which effectively serve as the database for ''[[Assassin's Creed III]]'' [[multiplayer]]. As with the other files, the content in "ROANOKE" is brief and cryptic and therefore difficult to interpret due to the lack of any indicator as to the speaker of each file, Assassin or Templar, though it is evident by context that the majority are Assassins.

	:The only meaningful line aside from Erudito's hacked message is: "''What if they run simulations to see if we were here before? What if an Assassins' Colony had ever existed? What if they discovered that we were the model for their Utopia?''"		The only meaningful line aside from Erudito's hacked message is: "''What if they run simulations to see if we were here before? What if an Assassins' Colony had ever existed? What if they discovered that we were the model for their Utopia?''" Were it not for Erudito's commentary, "Where [''sic''] they here before the Templars?", which establishes that the object that the subject is said to predate are Templars, it would have been more ambiguous as to whether the original speaker is an Assassin or Templar. The meaning of the last question is particularly vague. The inclusion of the possessive pronoun ''their'' before ''utopia'' could suggest that the utopia in question refers specifically to the Templars' dreams of a New World Order. If this is the case, the Assassin would actually be implying that an Assassin colony ''inspired'' the Templar vision of a New World Order or is a model for it, a revelation that could be traumatic for both factions. In hindsight, this interpretation, though following the phrasing literally, is radical enough to be in doubt.

In hindsight, this interpretation, though following the phrasing literally, is radical enough to be in doubt.		This article therefore assumes that the speaker, most likely an Assassin, is referring to the possibility that the Templars would be forced to acknowledge that an Assassin colony is the model for utopia in general, an intuitive interpretation. In this case, "their Utopia" does not refer exactly to the Templars' New World Order but rather the intended meaning is actually 'a utopia, sought by the Templars'.

	*The transcript also surmises that if the Roanoke Colony were an Assassin colony, it would mean that the Assassins' presence in the Americas predate that of the Templars. This would be incorrect as the Templar James Gunn explored the continent in 1398 according to ''[[Assassin's Creed: Rogue]]''. However, as the line that raises this theory does not clarify "predate" in what way, the speaker may be referring to predating in terms of an attempt at a ''permanent'' presence or the establishment of a branch.
