	The Song dynasty was the ruling regime of China in the early 13th century when Genghis Khan unified the [[Mongolia\|Mongols]] under his banner with the power of the [[Sword of Eden 2\|Sword of Eden]]. In short order, he began an invasion of China and its neighbors, the ~~{{wiki\|~~Western Xia\|Xia}} and the {{wiki\|Jin dynasty (1115–1234)\|Jin}}. His conquests drew the attention of the [[Assassins]], and in 1227, the [[Mentor]] of the [[Levantine Brotherhood of Assassins\|Levantine Brotherhood]] [[Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad]] traveled to China with his wife [[Maria Thorpe]] and son [[Darim Ibn-La'Ahad\|Darim]] to eliminate him.<ref name="TSC">''[[Assassin's Creed: The Secret Crusade]]'' – Chapter 50</ref> On 18 August, with the help of [[Mongolian Brotherhood of Assassins\|Mongolian Assassin]] [[Qulan Gal]],<ref name="Reflections #002">''[[Assassin's Creed: Reflections]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Reflections 2\|Issue #2]]</ref> they assassinated the Great Khan as he was besieging the Xia capital of [[Xingqing]].<ref name="TSC" /> However, the Assassins failed to retrieve the [[Piece of Eden\|Piece]] of [[Eden]] and it remained in the hands of the Mongols.<ref name="Reflections #002" />		The Song dynasty was the ruling regime of China in the early 13th century when Genghis Khan unified the [[Mongolia\|Mongols]] under his banner with the power of the [[Sword of Eden 2\|Sword of Eden]].
