	The war rages on and Shay's Templar friend Colonel Monro finds himself outmanned and outmatched at Fort William Henry. But Shay comes to his rescue, escorting Monto and his men from the place. This respite is but temporary, though, as the Assassins recognize thekr prodigal son. They take up arms against him and any who would aid him. What is worde, the manuscript resurfaces, along with the possibility of a hecatomb. Shay stops one Assassin, but another - his dear friend Liam - steps up to slay the Colonel. Shays promises he will have revenge against his brother. Inspired by the fallen officer, he takes the oath of the Templar.

			'''Sequence 5''' <br>
			Having attracted the attention of the Templar Grand Master, Haytham Kenway, Shay plunges himself into martial matters. To this end he befriends an English navigator, James Cook. With Cook's help, Shay leads the Templars and the Royal Navy against French reinforcements for Louisbourg. They are succesful - the Gallic fleet sinks in a raging inferno! That matter settled, Shay turns landward for an even greater prize: the life of the Assassin hero Adéwalé. Knowing this victory will shake the Assassins to their very core, he extinguishes Adéwalé, though not without regret.

Egypt does not relinquish its long barbarism easily. Some would question whether it is worth doing at all. I confess there have been times I have quietly wondered so myself. But looking now across our granary, with the sublime echoes of order calling from every shrub, pillar, and gable, I'm more certain than ever of our course. Whatever the cost, we will bring true civilization to the Faiyum, and then beyond. It is not merely desirable, it is imperative.

	[[Memphis]] was the longest lasting major metropolis in the history of the world, being relevant for over 3,000 years.		[[Memphis]] was the longest lasting major metropolis in the history of the world, being relevant for over 3,000 years.

			'''Modern Alexandria Library'''<br>
			The current library in Alexandria has a copy of all the web pages on every website on the Internet since it started in 1996.

			'''Alexander's Tomb'''<br>
			The tomb was never found and we are still looking for it today. Speculations as to where it was located exactly have been made from maps of ancient Alexandria.

			==''Origins'' targets==
			The Heron<br>
			Rudjek<br>
			Bayek trekked across the vast Egyptian desert to corner Rudjek in the famous Bent Pyramid of Sneferu. Bayek's first kill, the death of Rudjek brought on Anubis's apparent curse on the natron mines.

			The Ibis<br>
			Medunamun<br>
			Medunamun was installed as Oracle of Siwa by Ptolemy. He oversaw the Temple of Amun, but his true interest appeared to be the vault beneath the temple. He brutalized the villagers in an effort to learn the vault's secrets. Bayek killed him in a fury.

			The Vulture<br>
			Actaeon<br>
			Aya's first kill. While the Order in Alexandria, Aya came across Actaeon and verified her suspicions when she discovered one of the masks in his apartments. He died a horrible death while wearing the mask. His role in the Order of Ancients is clear, his role in the death of Khemu however, is nebulous.

			The Ram<br>
			Ktesos<br>
			He hunted down Aya, the killer of his friend Actaeon, in Alexandria. However, he met his end at her hands.

			The Hippo<br>
			Eudoros<br>
			Royal Scribe to Ptolemy, Eudoros was one of the puppet-masters of the pharaoh. He met his death in Alexandria's opulent bathhouse thanks to Bayek's newly acquired hidden blade, although he did manage to exact limited vengeance: the loss of Bayek's ring finger. But was Eudoros in fact The Snake?

			The Scarab<br>
			Taharqa<br>
			Taharqa was the mythical Scarab who haunted Sais and Letopolis. A great man who caused terrible pain in pursuit of a quest to build monuments that would outlive him. In his darkest moments, Bayek understood Taharqa all too well. The man had to die for the blood on his hands, but Bayek prays he hasn't simply carried on the cycle of vengeance.

			The Hyena<br>
			Khaliset<br>
			After her daughter's death, Khaliset became obsessed with trying to resurrect her. With the help of The Order, she discovered an ancient tomb that she believed to possess the power to restore life. Far removed from reality and relentless in her approach, The Hyena's actions harmed every soul in Giza.

			The Lizard<br>
			Hetepi<br>
			Hetepi's dark influence was felt throughout Memphis. Bayek chased him even through the realm of dreams. Hetepi was slain in Memphis's Great Temple, in sight of all the gods.

			The Crocodile<br>
			Berenike<br>
			Berenike was an elder Greek statesperson and member of the Order of Ancients. A subtle and highly intelligent woman, she cultivated a public image of graceful benevolence while secretly manipulating political and legislative processes to bring about her vision of an enlightened Egypt. Behind the scenes she used Ptolemy soldiers and arena gladiators to enforce a web of ruthless oppression across the Faiyum.

			'''From Mud to Bricks'''<br>
			Mud was the preferred building material, as it easily baked in the sun and hardened into bricks. It was often mixed with straw as a fortification.

			'''Herodotus' Reports'''<br>
			[[Herodotus]] believed that in [[Egypt]], men stayed home to tend the loom while women ran the markets, and that "the women urinate standing up, the men sitting down".
