	Throughout the centuries, some of Aita's Sages stayed true to his love for Juno. During the 6th century, the [[Ireland\|Irish]] monk and Sage [[Brendan of Clonfert]] visited many Isu's [[Megalith]]s in the [[British Isles]], leading him to the Grand Temple, though he could not access it.<ref name="Brendan Etchings">''[[Assassin's Creed: Valhalla]]'' – [[Etchings of Saint Brendan]]</ref> Three centuries later, [[Eivor Varinsdottir]] recovered [[Etchings of Saint Brendan\|Brendan's writings]] and also arrived before the Grand Temple, which remained closed.<ref name="Hunter of Beasts>''[[Assassin's Creed: Valhalla]] - [[Hunter of Beasts]]</ref> In the 18th century, Bartholomew Roberts tried to find the Grand Temple and liberate Juno but he was killed by Edward Kenway before he could do so.<ref name="Royal Misfortune"/>		Throughout the centuries, some of Aita's Sages stayed true to his love for Juno.

	Aita's Sages also formed cults venerating the Isu and praying for their mistress' return. The latest iteration, the [[Instruments of the First Will]], was active from at least the early 20th century. In London during [[World War I]], a group of Templars affiliated to the Instruments was led by a Sage known only as the Master Spy, a Templar who ran a ring of spies in the city on behalf of the [[Germany\|German Empire]]. In 1916, the group tried to collect the blood of soldiers, but the [[British Brotherhood of Assassins\|British Assassin]] [[Lydia Frye]] foiled their plan. On the orders of [[Winston Churchill]], Lydia later assassinated the Master Spy, liberating London from his schemes.<ref name="The Master Spy"/>		Aita's Sages also formed cults venerating the Isu and praying for their mistress' return.
