I'm focusing on doing the minor memories for now, because they (mostly) have no choice aspect to them and so are way easier to deal with.

===Animus memory notes===
Always at the end of the current memory
*Firm in her belief and confident that she can put an end to the machinations of her enemies, Aveline disobeys Agaté and boards a slave ship bound to an unknown location. This decision further strays their relationship.
*With de Ferrer dead and the slave colony free, Aveline travels back to New Orleans. Upon her return, she finds a world very different than the one she had left. Yet, the identity of the Company Man remains a mystery.
[@#]Deciphering clues left behind by her long lost mother lead Aveline to a cenote's entrance where her treasure hunt begins.
[@#]After discovering a plot to force her mentor out of hiding, Aveline journeys to the bayou, determined to win back Agaté's trust and refusing to give up on the Brotherhood.
[@#]The documents found aboard the Spanish ship contained orders to travel to Chichen Itza and reclaim the worksite. Fearing for her mother's safety – and perhaps hoping to find the second half of the Prophecy Disk – Aveline returns to Chichen Itza.
[@#]Having secured the second part of the Prophecy Disk, Aveline travels back to New Orleans to continue her search for Vázquez, the man she believes is the Company Man.
[@#]Despite her father's ill health, Aveline continues her search for the man called Vázquez.
[@#]George Davidson gave just enough clues as to the identity of the Company Man. It is with a heavy heart that Aveline returns home.
[@#]Following a confrontation with the Company Man, Madeleine de L'Isle – her beloved stepmother – Aveline finds herself confused and alone. She journeys to the bayou to seek Agaté's counsel, and test her own faith in the Brotherhood.
[@#]Agaté's failure as an Assassin and his lack of trust in Aveline leaves her completely adrift. She returns to Madeleine, ready to embrace her stepmother’s cause.

Eivor approached him.

*'''Eivor:''' ''How many what?''
*'''Madman:''' ''The stones! Everytime I count them the answer is different. First twenty, then twenty-one! The fairy-folk make a madman out of me.''
*'''Eivor:''' ''Rocks cannot appear and disappear. I shall count them.''
*'''Madman:''' ''Run round and around, pick up your skirts, don't drag your robes through the  dirt.''
Eivor counted the stones.

Eivor felt drowsy.
*'''Eivor:''' ''Does Skrymir toy with me? Casting his magics in England?''
She closed her eyes for a few moments. Once she opened them again, the drowsiness had passed and a tall rock stood where the man had been.
*'''Eivor:''' ''That stone, was it here before? And where is my mad friend? Damn this cursed place.''


====Pig of Prophecy====
{{GlyphLetter
Eivor arrived at Dorobernia Theater to an odd scene of a sober man, a seemingly drunk man and a pig.

Eivor approached the sober man.
|Text=They became increasingly aware of our existence. We can no longer rely on the divine right of the aristocracy to maintain control. We need a new system, something much more subtle.}}
*'''Eivor:''' ''Who is that man talking to?''
*'''Anglo-Saxon Man 2:''' ''Matilda. Pig sees the future.''
*'''Eivor:''' ''Loki's twisted threads. What trick is this?''
*'''Anglo-Saxon Man 2:''' ''None. You drink. Pig speaks.''
Eivor approached the pig.
*'''Eivor:''' ''Hello, pig!''
*'''Pig of Prophecy:''' (pig sounds)
*'''Anglo-Saxon Man 1:''' ''I must drink more, to get clearness on your words, pig. Clearness... That is such a strange word? Is that a word?''
Eivor drank of the brew and talked to the pig in a haze.
*'''Eivor:''' ''I don't feel anything. Are you a talking pig?''
*'''Pig of Prophecy:''' ''I, Matilda the Seer, lift the veil. Shall I show you what is to come, Raven?'' [The next sentence is randomized because of course it is]
Eivor drank of the brew again and heard another [randomized] prophecy.
*'''Eivor:''' ''Whatever was in that brew ... it was powerful and mind-twisting.''
[Also, i'm pretty sure there's also dialogue with the sober man]


[You can keep drinking and talking to the pig, who has a billion different sentences and they are all randomized. And the drunk man also doesn't shut the fuck up. This I refuse to do]

Eivor came upon a house beset by boars.
{{GlyphLetter
*'''Cursed Man:''' ''Away, curse-tusks. Return to the beastmaster and tell him I will not fall to the drum of your deviled hooves. You drive me mad with your snorting! I did not mean to snare the she-wolf. Tell him. Tell your master her blood is not on my hands. Beg him, please. He must remove the curse!

*'''Eivor:''' ''Dead? From fear or something else?''
Eivor read the note upon the table by the door.
[Fearful ramblings]
*'''Eivor:''' ''These are the ramblings of a madman, but the animals, I cannot deny they tormented him.''
She examined him.
*'''Eivor:''' ''He fulfilled his own prophecy, and nature took its revenge.''
She noticed the piles of rotten food.
*'''Eivor:''' ''And that stench! Rubbish and rotting food. In his fear, he barricaded himself inside, little wonder the rats came.''
On sacks of spoiled grain laid a note.
[Desperate Note]
*'''Eivor:''' ''He was terrified. Believed himself cursed after killing a she-wolf and her cub.''


====The Lighthouse Twins====
[Circular puzzle]
Eivor overheard a conversation as she approached the lighthouse.
By far the greatest part of those goods which are the objects of desire, are procured by labour; and they may be multiplied, not in one country alone, but in many, almost without any assignable limit, if we are disposed to bestow the labour necessary to obtain them.
*'''Arne:''' ''Hog's golden bristles, Frode, how did I let you talk me into this?''
*'''Frode:''' ''Stop clucking like a laying hen, I'm the one with the broken leg. At least grab Old Hisser's tale while you're up there!''
She approached the man laying on the floor of the light house.
*'''Eivor:''' ''Someone is stuck?''
*'''Frode:''' ''My brother. Chasing some foolish legend that if you see Old Hisser from above and catch his tail, he will grant you a wish.''
*'''Eivor:''' ''And what of your leg?''
*'''Frode:''' ''Likely sprained trying to climb up to rescue him. We are a sorry pair.''
Eivor started on her way up the lighthouse.
*'''Arne:''' ''Something is hissing. Jormungandr's fangs, are there snakes up here too?''
*'''Frode:''' ''Alright, alright. Well, you'll have to get down somehow. Can you see a haystack or something?''
*'''Arne:''' ''A haystack? Are you mad! From this height? That's certain death. No, my fate is sealed. I will just wait up here to die.''
Eivor killed a snake before climbing to where Arne was.
*'''Arne:''' ''You made it up! You truly are a brave one!''
She killed another snake near Arne.
*'''Eivor:''' ''I'll help you down, but how is a big, strong Norse like yourself afraid of heights!''
*'''Arne:''' ''And snakes. I don't know how I let my brother talk me into these schemes. I think I just give in to his endless goading. But I'm sick to the back teeth of him, "Climb up, Arne! Go in that cave of wolves, Arne! Eat that red mushroom!"''
*'''Eivor:''' ''Siblings are a source of great joy, and equal misery. I too have a brother.''
*'''Arne:''' ''Does yours put you in the maw of death every opportunity he gets?''
*'''Eivor:''' ''Come, let's get you down. And perhaps you can tell him how you feel.''
*'''Arne:''' ''Talk of my feelings? To my brother? I would rather let the snakes gnaw on my tender parts.''
*'''Eivor:''' ''This way.''
*'''Arne:''' ''It's too high to get down from here!''
Eivor released a ladder with a shot from her bow.
*'''Eivor:''' ''There, the ladder. Watch your step.''
The pair climbed down the lighthouse.
*'''Arne:''' ''Yes! I'm alive! Brother!''
*'''Frode:''' ''Thank you, stranger. For bringing this waste of breath back to me.''
*'''Eivor:''' ''You are welcome... but what is the story you spoke of? Old Hisser?''
*'''Arne:''' ''A pretty legend. He who catches Old Hisser's tail will find their heart's wish granted.''
*'''Eivor:''' ''I found such a story in a manuscript. Up in the tower.''[No fucking clue wtf she's talking about here]
*'''Arne:''' ''Then may it bring you more luck than it did us. Maybe you will even solve the serpent's mystery.''
*'''Frode:''' ''Farewell! May Odin litter your path with riches.''
*'''Eivor:''' ''Goodbye. Keep each other safe, for a good brother is the truest treasure from the gods.''
The brother left the lighthouse, with Arne helping Frode.
*'''Frode:''' ''Now see, you big lump? All that wailing, and it was as easy as a hop and a jump.''
*'''Arne:''' ''Keep that up and I'll leave you here for the wolves. Ah no, look at your leg. Is it truly broken?''
*'''Frode:''' ''No, sprained is all. But I'd like to see you get by without me. Couldn't even climb down a ladder without mewing like a newborn.''


====The Pardoner's Tale====
[Circular puzzle]
Eivor saw a man in black robes sitting at the edge of a forest.
A great empire has been established for the sole purpose of raising up a nation of customers. It cannot be very difficult to determine who have been the contrivers of this whole mercantile system; not the customers, we may believe, whose interest has been entirely neglected; but the producers, whose interest has been so carefully attended to.
*'''Anglo-Saxon Man:''' ''Hearken to me, if wisdom you seek.''
She approached him.
*'''Eivor:''' ''I am here, old man. Tell me your tale.''
*'''Anglo-Saxon Man:''' ''Three young men came to me not long ago. Braggarts, full of drink and sin. Death had claimed a friend of theirs, so they set out to find Death, and teach him a lesson.''
*'''Eivor:''' ''That is foolish. We Norse do not seek to control death. We embrace it.''
*'''Anglo-Saxon Man:''' ''Aye. But rudely they demanded of me, "Tell us where to find Death! You are old, you must know him!" "Look no further," said I. "He is under the great oak in the forest behind me." And that is where they went.''
Eivor decided to see the fate of the three young men, and went into the forest.
*'''Eivor:''' ''A strange tale, and one that lingers like a terrible dream.''
She found a very imposing tree.
*'''Eivor:''' ''Is this the great oak the old man spoke of?''
Under the oak tree, Eivor found a campfire and the three men, all dead.
*'''Eivor:''' ''Death. So this is what the old man meant. But what happened here?''
She approached one of the corpses.
*'''Eivor:''' ''By his pallor, I would say poison took this one's life. What was he reaching for, I wonder?''
She investigated another corpse.
*'''Eivor:''' ''Strangled. That is no bandit's work.''
She checked on the corpse closest to the tree.
*'''Eivor:''' ''Killed by poison. No sign of a struggle. He must have taken it unknowingly.''
Near the campfire there were the remains of a meal.
*'''Eivor:''' ''Food and ale. But why make a camp here, if they were searching for Death as the old man said?''
Near the oak tree, she noticed a big silver urn besides a shallow excavation site.
*'''Eivor:''' ''Silver. No doubt this played some part in this sorry scene.''
Having gathered enough evidence, she reconstructed the scene.
*'''Eivor:''' ''The three men found hidden treasure beneath the tree. They made camp while they decided how to split the prize. Two of them turned on the third. But he was one step ahead of them, and had already poisoned their ale. So the glister of silver drove these greedy fools to murder. It seems they found Death after all. Or Death found them.''


====The Sky Thief====
[Circular puzzle]
Eivor heard a little girl yell from an observation platform atop a tree.
A country that makes provision to increase in inhabitants, whose situation is good, and whose people have a genius adapted to trade, will never fail to be gainers in the balance, provided the labour and industry of their people be well managed and carefully directed.
*'''Anglo-Saxon Child:''' ''When I get hold of you, I'm gonna punch you right in the beak!''
Eivor climbed up.
*'''Eivor:''' ''What happened, little one?''
*'''Anglo-Saxon Child:''' ''Mummy's ring! I just took it out to look at it and a mean bird snatched them off me!''
*'''Eivor:''' ''What were you doing with your mother's ring?''
*'''Anglo-Saxon Child:''' ''Someone borrowed it, and she asked me to get it back. But now, it's up in that tree, and I can't climb that!''
Eivor looked at the next tree over.
*'''Eivor:''' ''There is the bird's nest.''
She shot an oil jar, the explosion of wehich dislodged the nest.
*'''Eivor:''' ''Something fell from the nest.''
Eivor climbed down the tree and searched for the fallen object. A woman approached her.
*'''Anglo-Saxon Woman:''' ''Here, you! Take your hands off my property! That ring is mine. Give it back, I say!''
*'''Eivor:''' ''Are you the girl's mother?''
*'''Anglo-Saxon Woman:''' ''Stepmother! My husband gave me that ring. My stepdaughter stole it from me! She's been a plague to me ever since I married her father! When all I've tried to show her is kindness!''
*'''Eivor:''' ''She says you borrowed it from her mother.''
*'''Anglo-Saxon Woman:''' ''Her mother is dead!''
The woman paused for a moment.
*'''Anglo-Saxon Woman:''' ''O! Perhaps it did belong to her once. I didn't know.''
*'''Eivor:''' ''Your new husband gave you his dead wife's ring?''
*'''Anglo-Saxon Woman:''' ''We do not have much. I will not spurn a gift from a good heart. He is a fine man, and I love him dear. But his daughter will never love me. Not while she still pretends her mother is alive.''
<tabber>
|-|You should have the ring.=
|-|Give the girl the ring.=
*'''Eivor:''' ''Let the girl have the ring. It is all she has of her mother. Do this, and new bonds may grow between you in time.''
*'''Anglo-Saxon Woman:''' ''You are wise, stranger. It is hard to give it up, but ... it belongs to her more rightfully than I. Take it to her, please.''
Eivor returned to the observation platform and approached the girl.
*'''Eivor:''' ''I have your mother's ring. Be careful in the future. We should hold tight to what is precious.''
*'''Anglo-Saxon Child:''' ''I saw you talking to my stepmother down there! Did she try to take it off you? What a warty old dragon!''
*'''Eivor:''' ''She agreed that you should have it. Be kind to her, little girl. She is trying her best for you.''
*'''Anglo-Saxon Child:''' ''I suppose. I'll speak to Mother about it.''
*'''Eivor:''' ''Farewell, then.''
</tabber>


====Winifred====
lo [x17]
Eivor came upon a child amid many beehives.
*'''Anglo-Saxon Child:''' ''Please, don't sting me. Because you will die and I will cry. Ow!''
Eivor approached him.
*'''Eivor:''' ''If the bees bother you, boy, maybe do not stand so close to their hive?''
*'''Anglo-Saxon Child:''' ''But I need honey! Just a little. It's for my friend. It's all she likes to eat. I only want to scrobble a little. They have plenty to share. I've tried poking it with a stick, but it riots them up something chronic.''
Eivor went to one of the nearby hives and got a honeycomb without injuries.
*'''Anglo-Saxon Child:''' ''You got the honey? O, thank you! That looks delicious! Leave it on that rock and she'll be right along.''
She did as instructed.
*'''Anglo-Saxon Child:''' ''Come sit and wait with me. She'll be here soon.''
Eivor sat on a log beside the boy.
*'''Anglo-Saxon Child:''' ''Winifred looked after me ever since Mother and Father died. She's my best friend. The other children tease me. Sometimes they throw stones to shoo me away and call me the grubby watcher in the woods. Winifred saved my life, I was curled up on the grass praying that God would take me too. And she scared the wolves away!''
A huge bear came prancing out of the woods.
*'''Anglo-Saxon Child:''' ''There you are, Winifred! I got you honey!''
Winifred ate a bit of honey while the boy walked up to her.
*'''Anglo-Saxon Child:''' ''Winifred, my bestest of bears! Any day spent with you is my favorite day. So, today is my new favorite day. This kind stranger got you some honey. What do we say? Thank you? All that honey must have given you quite a thirst.''
*'''Eivor:''' ''Are you really all right out here on your own, little one?''
*'''Anglo-Saxon Child:''' ''Silly! I'm not alone, with the very best of bears by my side. Goodbye, and thank you! Come on, Winifred. Shall we walk to the lake? Maybe we can splash in the reeds?''
Eivor saw the pair go into the woods.
*'''Eivor:''' ''A strange fellowship. But then, friendship can often be found in unexpected places.''
Walking near the river, she noticed the boy, the bear and a couple of other animals: a donkey and a rabbit.
*'''Anglo-Saxon Child:''' ''Here you all are! All my friends together! Isn't everything just perfect?''

====A Cordial Invitation====
[Pawn F2 to F4]
Eivor came upon the site of an ambush.
*'''Anglo-Saxon Soldier:''' ''Rest easy, friend. You will be avenged. Our bodies may be broken, our pouches may be empty, but our souls will thrive. You will be remembered.''
*'''Eivor:''' ''What happened here?''
*'''Anglo-Saxon Soldier:''' ''An attack gone awry. We found more of Constantin's Picts than expected. The rich have their numbers ... both in coin and spears. My men were not ready, and we were overwhelmed. But I'm afraid it's not over. They know I still live. Hark! Pict reinforcements! To battle! The spirits of my men are with me, and my spirit with theirs. Owooo!''
Eivor and the soldier defended themselves against the Picts.
*'''Anglo-Saxon Soldier:''' ''We will kill every king, even yours, for they squander the nobility they've been birthed to. Owooo!''
After the reinforcements had been dealt with, Eivor approached him.
*'''Eivor:''' ''The threat is gone.''
*'''Anglo-Saxon Soldier:''' ''What a fight! The Pict King Constantin will feel a little lighter in the purse tomorrow. Thank you for your aid, uh...?''
*'''Eivor:''' ''Call me Eivor.''
*'''Anglo-Saxon Soldier:''' ''The name is Ryce, Ryce Sherwin. You know, we could use someone like you in our band of merry rogues and knaves. The poor get richer and the rich get poorer thanks to us. We've a hideout in the woods. Drop by sometime, share an ale maybe.''
*'''Eivor:''' ''Maybe.''
*'''Anglo-Saxon Soldier:''' ''Well, until we meet again!''
*'''Eivor:''' ''A hideout in the woods. Sounds interesting.''


====An Efficient Cremation====
*Animus: Quarantine zone.
Eivor noticed a man near a burning cart.
[found 2 red spots]
*'''Norse Man:''' ''This is taking too long. I need more fire, more oil! They must burn, they must burn... Please! My family, they've died injustly. They need to be burned! But this fire won't do. I must burn them before they turn into vengeful draugrs. There must be something around here that burns...''
*Animus: Quarantine lifted.
Eivor entered the man's house looking for something to burn. She found a note.
[Note already in page]
Finding nothing else of importance, she looked behind the house, finding an oil jar.
*'''Eivor:''' ''Oil jars for the fire. This should be enough.''
She carried to the front of the house and threw it on the flames.
*'''Norse Man:''' ''Thank you! Thank you. Now may they rest in peace...''
Eivor approached the man.
*'''Eivor:''' ''Will they truly rest? You said the draugrs, your family no less, would return vengeful.''
*'''Norse Man:''' ''It's my fault. I killed them. My greed robbed me of my senses and now my family. My brother was to inherit my father's wealth. But it was my right! They callled me a lout, a disgrace. They were right. Now our family fortune sits in the house. Worthless when there is nobody left to enjoy it with. A favor, I beg of you. Slay me so I may join them in Helheim and beg their forgiveness.''
Eivor granted him his death.
*'''Eivor:''' ''Men like you deserve something worse than death. I hope your family condemns you, even in Helheim.''


====Stoneman====

Eivor saw a girl trying and failing to stack rocks.
Missing -.. .- .-. -.- -. . ... ... .-.. --- ... - -.. -. ..- -- -... [DARKNESSLOSTDNUMB]
*'''Norse Child:''' ''Why won't you just stay still! Ugh! This one first ... then this one ... ugh! No! Stay still, stones! Or else the bad Pict-people will come for me... Can you tell the stones to stand still, please? I need to build a stone man so it will protect me from the Pict-people! I keep trying but ... I just can't do it right.''
Eivor approached the little girl and helped her build a stoneman, her experience building cairns being quite handy.
*'''Norse Child:''' ''Whoa! You're really good at this!''
*'''Eivor:''' ''Think of this as a test, of mind and wit. Stack the cairn stones high and wide.''
*'''Norse Child:''' ''But they keep falling...''
*'''Eivor:''' ''You have to let the air and nature's beauty guide you. Shape, balance, expression are key.''
*'''Norse Child:''' ''O, wow! Thank you for showing me how.''
*'''Eivor:''' ''Steady your hands and your heart, tiny-giant. Goodbye.''
*'''Norse Child:''' ''I'll be okay on my own, Mama and Papa. Don't worry about me, I'll have an army of stone men to protect me!''


====The Good Men of Sherwood====
<font color="#FF0000">[Abstergo file] Access denied</font>
Eivor came upon an archery lesson in the forest.
*'''Anglo-Saxon Woman:''' ''Ready. Aim. Fire! How difficult could this possibly be? You nock your arrow into the bowstring, pull it back, aim, and fire! Try again! Lord save us all if we ever have to rely on you lot to defend us with bows. Remember, faint aim never won fair battle. Again!''
Eivor joined in, hitting a target.
*'''Anglo-Saxon Woman:''' ''Unbelievable. Which one of you did that?''
*'''Eivor:''' ''I did.''
*'''Anglo-Saxon Woman:''' ''What marvelous aim. For a moment, I thought my training was getting into these thick skulls.''
Eivor approached the woman.
*'''Anglo-Saxon Woman:''' ''See if you can hit one of the targets above.''
Eivor did as instructed.
*'''Anglo-Saxon Woman:''' ''That was sound aim! Amazing!''
*'''Tuck:''' ''That was a fluke, I bet.''
*'''Little John:''' ''Yeh! I bet you can't hit that... uhhh... that chicken, right o'er there! The one hanging from the pole! Go on then, hit that hanging chicken from here. No cheatin'!''
*'''Anglo-Saxon Woman:''' ''Huh, to hit that chicken would require some kind of special technique.''
Eivor aimed and hit her target.
*'''Little John:''' ''Wha... thas mad!''
*'''Anglo-Saxon Woman:''' ''Extraordinary. That was true skill and aim. On the mark! Well, friend, you can count on us to lend a hand against King Constantin and his well paid Picts. And thank you for showing these turnips some skilled marksmanship. Visit us again. As for the rest of you, keep practicing!''
As the others once again picked up their bows, Eivor noticed a note on a table near.
[Note in page already]


====The Myth in the Mountains====
Washington sits above the green, in 1944, keeping a cool head. Below the right 1, is the standard bearing <font color="#FF0000">48</font>. Behind, there is a company whose power is growing.
Eivor overheard a conversation at a [[Picts|Pict]] camp.
[Bunch of images]
*'''Pict Warrior 1:''' ''Did you hear what happened to Archibald?''
[Locate Abstergo flag atop the left turret of the Mount Washington Resort]
*'''Pict Warrior 2:''' ''Aye, the drunken fool. I was there when he lit that thing on fire. We all told him not to, but he dared tempt fate.''
*'''Pict Warrior 1:''' ''You saw it all? Go on, tell us what happened.''
*'''Pict Warrior 2:''' ''The myths, Wilfred, they're true. A legendary Pict warrior who can rip a wolf apart with his bare hands!''
*'''Pict Warrior 1:''' ''You saw him?''
*'''Pict Warrior 2:''' ''I don't know what we saw, not exactly, but there's something up there. Archibald held up his torch all brave like after lighting the fire. The next thing we know, his head dropped to his feet! We ran!''
*'''Pict Warrior 1:''' ''Should we at least fetch his body?''
*'''Pict Warrior 2:''' ''You can. I won't go back up that cursed mountain for all the silver in this land.''
Eivor then climbed up the mountain. She came upon a small abandoned camp with the fire still raging. She noticed a letter by the bonfire.
:'''A Letter from Causantin mac Cináeda'''<br>''Elite of elites, the great warriors of Clan Dunbar, you are tasked to scout for weaknesses of the wretched Danes that occupy Northumbria. Do not rest until you find the chink in their armor.''
Nearby Eivor found the dead Pict and a straw dummy. She lit the dummy on fire and waited. After a moment, she was approached by a man.
*'''Eivor:''' ''Speak your name, warrior.''
He said nothing.
*'''Eivor:''' ''Have it your way.''
The two started fighting.
*'''Pict Warrior:''' ''Your life's purpose was to die for me.''
*'''Eivor:''' ''So, he speaks.''
Eivor won the battle.
*'''Eivor:''' ''You fought well, warrior. But here your legend ends, bound to no name.''

====Bewitched====
[Cipher puzzle]
Eivor heard a child screaming from inside a locked house.
*'''Trapped Boy:''' ''I'm trapped! Help. I've been trapped by a witch!<br>Don't go! She'll come back and boil me in a pot! I'll be served with turnips for supper! I'll never get out! What if the witch comes back!''
Eivor broke a weak wall in the house and from the small room she shot away the bar in the main door. She then reentered the house through it.
*'''Trapped Boy:''' ''I hear you out there. Thw witch locked me in and left the key somewhere. Find that key!''
Though Eivor easily found a key it did not fit the door leading to the boy. She left the house and shot away the bar leading to another locked door.
*'''Trapped Boy:''' ''Hello? This is the slowest rescue I've ever seen! Could you find the stupid key and get me out?''
In the newly unlocked room she found the key needed and let the child out.
*'''Trapped Boy:''' ''About time. I've been so bored in here.''
*'''Eivor:''' ''Who is this witch that locked you in?''
*'''Trapped Boy:''' ''A horrible old hag who wants to make me into rabbit stew! Thanks for helping me get out of here!''
Eivor found a story written by the boy in the room he was kept.
:'''My Tale'''<br>''The world is worried by witches. They fly from every tree. The ground hides nothing but goblins, crawling up your knee. The skies shake with shrieks of harpies, water fills wells with woe. But me, I'm locked up and luckless. I've got nowhere to go.''
Leaving the room, Eivor met the witch.
*'''Mother:''' ''You naughty boy! Just look at this mess. The house has been upended! Who is this?''
*'''Trapped Boy:''' ''I fooled her! I told her you were a witch and you were going to eat me for supper!''
*'''Mother:''' ''Well, that's a fine how-do-you-do. It will take me weeks to put this place back in order.''
*'''Trapped Boy:''' ''We had a grand time!''
*'''Mother:''' ''I am no witch. I am the kindest, sweetest mum to ever lock her lad in a house. How else teach you not to pick your nose?''


====King of the Hill====
[Abstergo file] Access granted
Eivor overheard a man boasting.
*'''King of the Hill:''' ''No one can knock me off this hill. No one, I say! Just try it. You'll see.''
Eivor approached.
*'''King of the Hill:''' ''Not one step closer! I warn you, stop!''
*'''Eivor:''' ''What did you say to me?''
*'''King of the Hill:''' ''No one has ever dared to come all the way up before. What happens now?''
*'''Eivor:''' ''We fight!''
Eivor fought the man and won.
*'''King of the Hill:''' ''Hold! I give in! No more shall I challenge everyone.''
*'''Eivor:''' ''See that you don't.''
As Eivor left the are and started to walk down the hill, she heard boasting once again.
*'''King of the Hill:''' ''No one can knock me off this hill. No one, I say! Just try it. You'll see.''
She approached the man again.
*'''Eivor:''' ''At it again? I thought I shut you up last time.''
*'''King of the Hill:''' ''Huh... You again!''
*'''Eivor:''' ''Quit stalling.''
Eivor fought the man and won.
*'''King of the Hill:''' ''Enough! I can't take anymore! I won't bother anybody any longer.''
Though, yet again, as Eivor left, the man let his pride do the talking.
*'''King of the Hill:''' ''This is my hill. Every patch of it from the scrabble grass down there to the airy heights here!''
*'''Eivor:''' ''This madman will not stop!''
She approached the man again.
*'''Eivor:''' ''You little shit. How many times must I beat you to mush?''
*'''King of the Hill:''' ''O! Just you try.''
Eivor fought the man and won.
*'''King of the Hill:''' ''O I give up. I give up! You are the better fighter.''
*'''Eivor:''' ''Never forget that. I'm tired of defeating you.''
*'''King of the Hill:''' ''O. It's no pleasure being defeated. The hill is yours. You're the true champion.''

Eivor came upon a sheep herder talking to his flock.
|Letterhead=ACB Rift - Abstergo Letterhead.png
*'''Merec:''' ''One of you swalled it! Who was it?''
|LSize=675px
She approached him.
|Text=July 22, 1944<br><br>Fellows, rulers, welcome.<br><br>I deliver this speech to you as, several floors below us, a silent revolution begins.<br><br>Ranny Olds and Henry Ford. As many of you know, these founders gave us the assembly line, the device we have used to control both (those indoctrinated into the worship of our money (?)) capitalists and workers (slaves (?)) alike. But I dream of a future in which such ugly chains will no longer be necessary. In 1910, our founders designed the Plan, it falls to us to see it through.<br><br>But, what of the Communists, who intend to spread the bread so thin that everyone will starve? It is our duty to (neutralize (?)) save them and their followers. We must ensure that they continue to eat, to reproduce, to be productive members of society. That is our burden, to shepherd those beneath us through life, and we must embrace it, even if (force is required (?)) they themselves do not.<br><br>H. and S. brought on the turmoil and fear necessary, now we must strike fast to ensure development continues in the proper directin. We will appear to concede ground to the workers, remember the successful ruse of Rockefeller's dimes, but soon there will be no ground we do not own.<br><br>In 1937, we founded this Company, this enterprise, with a purpose. The time to nurture it to fruition is upon us.}}
*'''Eivor:''' ''Lose something?''
*'''Merec:''' ''Polished the family brooch up for my niece, put it down for two seconds, and it's gone! One of the sheep must've swallowed it.''
*'''Eivor:''' ''That would be one hungry sheep.''
*'''Merec:''' ''It was my grandmother's, given to her by a very wealthy, uh, admirer. How will I get it back without hurting any of my lovely sheep?''
He started crying.
*'''Merec:''' ''My brroch! My brooch! Dear Heaven, I'll never get it back!''
Eivor got a pile of hay and threw it into the pen.
*'''Merec:''' ''Ah, yes! Feed the sheep and see what ... comes out...''
After a while, one of the sheep painfully passed the brooch.
*'''Merec:''' ''See what's there!''
*'''Eivor:''' ''By the gods, how do I find myself doing this?''
Eivor searched piles of excrement until she found the brooch.
*'''Eivor:''' ''Wh-what has this sheep eaten? Nothing in there.<br>Nothing. I must continue my search.<br>Hm...Ah! A brooch. Not in very fine condition.''
*'''Eivor:''' ''Here's your brooch.''
*'''Merec:''' ''Whew! That smell'd knock over a horse!''
*'''Eivor:''' ''Just take it.''
*'''Merec:''' ''It'll need a washing, but my niece will be grateful! Many thanks, stranger.''
*'''Eivor:''' ''I will not help in this way again.''


====Otta, Son of Slugga====
As a concession, a small piece is sacrificed for the greater good to come.
Eivor came upon a trio of children cheering on a man with a spiked club.
[White pawn F4 takes black pawn at E5]
*'''Anglo-Saxon Child:''' ''I love you, Otta! Smack those rocks!''
Eivor approached.
*'''Anglo-Saxon Child:''' ''O, you are lucky to be here, warrior! You'll see a sight rarely seen by mortals!''
*'''Eivor:''' ''Have I walked into another realm?''
*'''Anglo-Saxon Child:''' ''Otta hits rocks as far as the eye can see!''
*'''Otta:''' ''The name's Otta Sluggasson. I usually try to dodge Danes like youself, but you seem friendly.''
*'''Anglo-Saxon Child:''' ''I saw an angel swallow the last rock you hit, I swear I did, Otta!''
*'''Otta:''' ''Mm, nothing more sweet than the crack of a good clean rock-hit. Like a warrior's axe cutting through a shield wall.''
*'''Eivor:''' ''I would like to see this "rock-hit" you speak of.''
*'''Otta:''' ''All right. Here's a taste of my fire. Get ready, kids.''
Otta then proceeded to throw some rocks into the air and knock them into training dummies set far away with his spiked club.
*'''Eivor:''' ''I'm impressed, Otta Sluggasson.''
*'''Otta:''' ''If you want, some try and do the same with their bow. But my best time is hard to beat.''
*'''Eivor:''' ''I would not want these kids to lose a hero by besting you.''
*'''Otta:''' ''I like this Viking. Kids, gather round! Are you sure you want to challenge me?''
(Accept - Let us compete.)
*'''Eivor:''' ''Fine, Otta. I will show these children what a true legend is.''
*'''Anglo-Saxon Child:''' ''Otta, will you sign this stone I kept?''
*'''Otta:''' ''Sure thing, kid.''
Eivor started shooting the targets.
*'''Otta:''' ''Well struck, Dane!<br>Nice one!<br>Well, I'll be... You knocked the straw right out of that dummy's belly!<br>Well, well. Twang! Twang! Twang! You've got some firepower in you.''
*'''Anglo-Saxon Child:''' ''The Dane's got a fine shot! Two legends here together! Tell the poets!''
*'''Eivor:''' ''Thank you, Otta Sluggasson. This game is joyful. If you add a cup of mead and some popped oats, could be a fine manner of passing time.''
*'''Otta:''' ''You're right, Eivor of Raven Clan! Hey, come on back if you ever want to dance again.''


====Paola's Dream====
*Animus: Quarantine zone.
Eivor came upon a beautiful castle.
[found 2 red spots]
*'''Jason:''' ''It is just how you imagined it!''
*Animus: Quarantine lifted.
Eivor approached.
*'''Jason:''' ''Hello, stranger.''
*'''Eivor:''' ''What is this place?''
*'''Jason:''' ''Do you like it? My wife and I constructed it from ancient stones. It is a house of dreams and memories, fashioned from gossamer and summer breezes.''
The man led Eivor inside and waved to his wife, who was at a canvas, painting.
*'''Eivor:''' ''It is beautiful.''
*'''Jason:''' ''Paola and I have traveled near and far. The things we've seen! And done! When I say "far" I mean to distant lands beyond your imagination. Each brick of this castle is a memory from our adventures.''
*'''Eivor:''' ''You have gathered wisdom from your travels.''
*'''Jason:''' ''I have, and it is this. It's all very well to prepare for tomorrow, but do not forget today. Today, this hour, this moment, is a precious gift. PPaola and I will look out from our window over the green of England and recall the hours of our travels. From our window we can relive our adventures. There she is, now. I must go to her.''
Paola approached for a moment and Jason left with her.
*'''Eivor:''' ''I thank you for your words, friend.''

====Saint Faith====
These intelligent workers have no self-control.
Eivor passed by a scene of baptism, with a nun, a priest and some peasants.
[Photographs 2,3,5,9, 10]
*'''Anglo-Saxon Woman:''' ''I am heavy with sin! I need guidance!''
*'''Anglo-Saxon Man:''' ''Pater noster, qui es in caelis, sanctificetur nomen tuum.<br>You there! Dane! Come be saved!''
*'''Eivor:''' ''Don't you get tired of all that yelling?''
*'''Anglo-Saxon Man:''' ''Welcome, heathen. Praise God, who has brought you here to join us.''
*'''Eivor:''' ''My ship is not steered by your god.''
*'''Anglo-Saxon Man:''' ''Cease your blasphemy! You have been summoned by God to be baptized! Submit or pay the price!''
*'''Eivor:''' ''And how do you plan to make me?''
*'''Anglo-Saxon Man:''' ''Faith is our weapon, and the only one we need.''
*'''Eivor:''' ''Your threats aren't worth the breath of my arse.''
*'''Anglo-Saxon Man:''' ''We'll see about that. [[Faith]]! Cleanse this pagan scum!''
The nun attacked Eivor.
*'''Faith:''' ''Sinner! Die at the hands of Faith!''
*'''Eivor:''' ''Think twice, nun. I won't be dying today.''
*'''Faith:''' ''Smite the unbelievers! Smite them till they're smoten!''
*'''Eivor:''' ''Are you so keen to meet your god?''
Eivor defeated Faith.
*'''Eivor:''' ''Is that the best your god can give? People will worship anyone these days.''
*'''Anglo-Saxon Man:''' ''Faith! Faith...! You monster, how could you? She was so sweet, gentle, and delicate!''
*'''Anglo-Saxon Woman:''' ''Great! Now I have to find someone else to tell me what to do.''

Eivor approached an angry woman at a farm.
*'''Gerhild:''' ''Stop eating my garden, you filthy little things!''
Eivor approached the woman.
*'''Eivor:''' ''You seem distressed.''
*'''Gerhild:''' ''So would you be if your every crop of turnips was demolished by a horde of mangy horrors!''
*'''Eivor:''' ''I assume you mean the rabbits in that field?''
*'''Gerhild:''' ''Aye, them! They're nowt but rats with ears stuck on! I'd slay 'em if I could, but they're too damned fast.''
She turned towards the fields.
*'''Gerhild:''' ''When I catch you, I'll impale you! Maim you! Send you to bunny Hell!''
Eivor climbed over the fence and attacked the rabbits.
*'''Gerhild:''' ''That's right! Get in there! Mash their little bunny heads in!<br>Go on! Nail those bobtailed little shits!<br>Three less pesky vermin bastards in the world!<br>Yes! That's what you get for eating my turnips, you bucktoothed fuckanapes!<br>You got them! Every last one! Exterminated like the hairballs of Satan that they are!''
A man came running towards the fields.
*'''Ahlstan:''' ''Flopsy? Lord Snuffles! What have they done to you?''
*'''Gerhild:''' ''Just taking care of business, Ahlstan. I warned you what would happen if you let them in my turnip patch again.''
*'''Ahlstan:''' ''My babies! They're not to blame! How could you? You've gone too far this time, wife!''


====The Devil Has All The Best Tunes====
[circular puzzle]
Eivor came upon a jolly gathering with song and drink.
It is possible to invent a single machine which can be used to compute any computable sequence.
*'''Norse Warrior:''' ''A merry tune! Play it again, Saxon!''
I'm not interested in developing a powerful brain. All I'm after is just a mediocre brain.
*'''Bard:''' ''The Lord made me and the Lord made thee, and the Lord made hops and barley. So if you would close to Heaven be, have another ale or three! Drink some mead and drink some rum, for ye know not when the Lord will come. So drink thy ale and drink it fast, who knows if it may be your last!<br>You there, Dane! Come join youe fellows! Music is my gift to you all!''
Eivor approached the bard.
*'''Eivor:''' ''Here is a merry gathering. A Saxon, playing for Norsemen?''
*'''Bard:''' ''"What joy a man gives is given back threefold." So my love used to say. Dear Cearo. I sing now for her.''
*'''Eivor:''' ''Used to?''
*'''Bard:''' ''Used to. But now is no time for sadness! Join our revels! I was about to open a cask for my new friends! Come one, come all! Nothing heals the heart of woe like a mug of ale.''
*'''Norse Warrior:''' ''You look like the sort who laps at their brew like a kitten.''
*'''Eivor:''' ''Wrong. Thor himself pales when he sees me take up my drinking horn.''
*'''Norse Warrior:''' ''Ha! Come and prove it, then! Saxon, give us a song!''
Eivor approached the hooded warrior.
*'''Norse Warrior:''' ''Show me how the Raven Clan drink!''
(Accept - "I'll take that challenge.")
*'''Eivor:''' ''You'll be under the tavle before I've even warmed up.''
*'''Norse Warrior:''' ''O-ho! We'll see about this!''
Eivor and the warrior then started a drinking contest, while the bard kept playing his song. Eivor drank her horn full before dropping to the floor.
*'''Eivor:''' ''I feel cold fingers spreading through me. This is poisoned ale!''
*'''Norse Warrior:''' ''Urgh. Feels like Jormungandr is turning in my stomach.''
The dancing warriors also felt the poison acting.
*'''Norse Warrior:''' ''By Odin, this new ale is strong. I think I'm going blind.''
*'''Bard:''' ''A hundred lives I promised my love as she lay dying, a Danish arrow in her breast. A hundred lives for hers. But there is one who has not been laid low. Let me see to that. You will die as my Cearo did!''
The bard attacked Eivor.
*'''Eivor:''' ''It won't be me that dies today!''
Though affected by the brew, Eivor managed to hold her own.
*'''Eivor:''' ''God, my head!''
*'''Bard:''' ''I'll grant you the long peace of the grave!<br>Murderer! Reaver! Death to all Danes!''
*'''Eivor:''' ''Even sickened, I am more than your equal!''
Eivor killed the poisoner.
*'''Eivor:''' ''He lured his prey with music, then poisoned them like a spider. Grief sick or not, this world is better without him in it.''

====Food of the Gods====
[Pawn G2 to G3]
As Havi passed a camp, he heard the announcement of a hunt.
*'''Andhrimnir:''' ''Who will join us on this wild hunt? Which among you hunger for a challenge. Who here has an appetite for adventure?''
*'''Havi:''' ''Hail, Andhrimnir! Off again to hunt the Immortal Boar?''
*'''Andhrimnir:''' ''Yes. Yet again, Saehrimnir has risen from his bones and escaped my kitchen. It should prove to be a vigorous chase.''
*'''Havi:''' ''You never tire of tracking this beast.''
*'''Andhrimnir:''' ''No hunt is more thrilling, and his meat has no equal. Come!''
They tracked the boar down.
*'''Andhrimnir:''' ''Run! Run, you sluggards! Have you no appetite?<br>This meat is not to be missed!<br>Take care! He is cunning! Saehrimnir is as deadly as he is delicious!<br>It is worth risking death for the meal of your life!''
*'''Boar Hunter 1:''' ''Ha, Ha! What a beast! What a monster!''
*'''Boar Hunter 2:''' ''O, I have never felt more alive!''
*'''Boar Huntress 1:''' ''I can almost taste its flesh!''
*'''Boar Huntress 2:''' ''I hunger for a haunch!''
Havi killed the boar.
*'''Andhrimnir:''' ''Skillfully done, Lore-Keepet! I will save you the juciest cut! Come, you brave butchers! Let us prepare a true heroes' feast!''


====Milk of Humankind====
Abstergo phone records<br>June, 1954
Havi heard a mooing from behind a wooden gate.
[amplitude puzzle]
*'''Audumbla:''' ''Moo. (I am sad.)''
*'''N:''' ''V. It's N. I need [[Alan Turing|Turing]] done today.''
Havi broke down the gate.
*'''V:''' ''Aren't we jumping the gun? You've already had him arrested and sedated.''
*'''Audumbla:''' ''Moo. (O, how nice.)<br>Moo. (What a relief.)''
*'''N:''' ''He still refuses to follow the directive. He's actually trying to invent one of those infernal things, instead of merely faking it for the newspapers. If he succeeds... you know what the mass unemployment generated by his robots will mean? Idle hands. We need to do this for the good of the people.''
*'''Havi:''' ''Nothing less than a god could confine this ancient creature against her will. Was it the Trickster? Some other menace? Or do I imagine ill omens where none exist?''
*'''V:''' ''What about Keynes? He trusted Turing.''
*'''Audumbla:''' ''Moo. (I feel you.)''
*'''N:''' ''It's the greater good we're talking about here, V. Plus, a childless worker sends a bad message. We can't have them all stop reproducing.''
Havi moved a rock out of the way so Audumbla could pass.
*'''V:''' ''Fine. It's your call.''
*'''Audumbla:''' ''Moo. (You are near.)<br>Moo. (I will find you.)''
*'''N:''' ''I want it done like we did Harry Dexter White when he tried to warn the Soviets.''
Havi broke down another wooden gate. Having been freed, Audumbla went to some ice stalagtites nearby.
*'''V:''' ''All right.''
*'''N:''' ''Be poetic about it. Maybe something from the Bible. Turing always was theatrical.''


*'''Audumbla:''' ''Moo. (I have found you.)<br>'Moo. (Thank you and good luck, godling.)''
*Animus: Quarantine zone.
*'''Havi:''' ''It was simple thirst that drove this primeval creature. Even the gods are subject to common needs. Slake your thirst, Man-Maker. May you bring forth new things to amaze us all.''
[found 2 red spots, over image of Alan Turing in front of bus]
*Animus: Quarantine lifted.


====Njord's Lament====
|-|5=
Havi heard Njord's drunken yelling from afar.
Democratic nations were built, each led by a powerful vizier (known today by a different name), who made a move to block the Templar advance.
*'''Njord:''' ''Skadi ... O Skadi ... Why are you so cold? O, Skadi! I curse the day ... you were seized with lust ... for my perfect legs... Go back to your f-frigid mountains! The sea is my mistress!''
[Queen D1 to E2]
Havi approached him.
*'''Havi:''' ''Njord, your drunken laments ripple through Asgard. What has brought you to this state?''
*'''Njord:''' ''I have ... a beautiful ... beach home ... in Noatun! The most ... perfect place in all Asgard! But is it enough to make Skadi happy? No! She wants us to freeze up in the ... f-fucking mountains!''
*'''Havi:''' ''She is Jotun. You should have known this before you married her.''
*'''Njord:''' ''She chose me! Can I help it that I have such beautiful feet?''
*'''Havi:''' ''You cannot keep this up. Your wailing will summon a sea storm.''
*'''Njord:''' ''I care not. I have mead enough to keep me warm till ... till ... till Skadi and her clan return to their f-frigid homeland.''
*'''Havi:''' ''Maybe they will, but not before plundering the vast riches from your beautiful home.''
*'''Njord:''' ''I had not thought of that! By Ymir's balls, I must return to shore! Bring me a boat! I still have my pride. I refuse to swim like a ... fish ... fisher ... fisherman!''
Havi got on a boat, taking the oar, and Njord climbed in.
*'''Njord:''' ''Skadi ... Skadi ... her heart is as cold as her ... mountain peaks.''
*'''Havi:''' ''Having a Jotun wife cannot be easy.''
*'''Njord:''' ''The only time she ever really smiled ... was when that ... goat ... nearly ripped Loki's balls off! I remember thinking ... that one is cruel ... and magnificent! But the pleasure was not worth the pain. And now ... I have her ... whole ... whole cursed clan to deal with.''
*'''Havi:''' ''I know a rune that will dull the edges of their weapons.''
*'''Njord:''' ''Only if it will ... blunt her tongue.''
They reached the mainland.
*'''Havi:''' ''I hope you find peace, noble Njord. A bad match can be troublesome, but not worse than having nothing to love.''
*'''Njord:''' ''My home at Noatun will bring me pleasure enough. But what about you, Wily One? What do you love?''
*'''Havi:''' ''Knowledge, Sea King, and the pursuit of it. Untangling mysteries, uncovering lore ... that is what feeds me.''
*'''Njord:''' ''Then from what I kn-know of the world and all the ... realms... you will never go hungry. Good luck to you.''


====Noble Harts====
<font color="#FF0000">[Abstergo file] Access denied</font>
On the distance, Havi saw a deer.
*'''Havi:''' ''Dain, the Lifeless One. Why has this noble stag wandered so far from the tree, Yggdrasil? The sight of this majestic creature gives my own heart wings! I will follow in the same spirit.''
Havi followed the stag, encountering another of its kin.
*'''Havi:''' ''Here is Duneyr the Unknowing! Have you eaten your fill of Yggdrasil's green leaves?''
He continued to follow the animals, finding yet another of them.
*'''Havi:''' ''Durathor as well! Has some disaster befallen the Tree of Life, or is this simply a gathering og the hallowed herd?''
A fourth deer joined the pack.
*'''Havi:''' ''Even Dvalin has roused from his Thriving Slumber! Does this wild run come from a place of joy, or fear?''
The four deers led Haci to the fifth.
*'''Havi:''' ''And finally, Eikthyrnir. From whose horns flow the rivers, Sid and Vid.''
The deer gathered around Haci and disappered in a blink of light, leaving behind a chest for him.
*'''Havi:''' ''So this was the purpose behind the prancing. An offering to their caretaker.''
Havi retrieved one of Ymir's Tear Srones from the chest.
*'''Havi:''' ''Thank you, noble harts. I will put this gift to good use and remain your steadfast protector.''


====Valhalla Bound====
From a bolt of electricity, governments fell.
Havi heard a yelling warrior.
[bunch of pictures]
*'''Einherjar:''' ''Your curses cannot touch me! I will bathe in your blood!''
[Locate lightning bolt at ITT Corporation former headquarters]
Havi approached.
*'''Havi:''' ''Warrior! Put reins upon your battle lust and ride it! Do not be ridden by it.''
*'''Einherjar:''' ''I do not know your face, but I know...''
*'''Havi:''' ''Yes, think. What are your last memories?''
*'''Einherjar:''' ''I remember the fire-fog filling my throat ... wading through a sea of blood and meat ... a spear piercing my heart...''
*'''Havi:''' ''And then the Valkyries plucked you from the Helvger, which leads lesser men to Hel and brought you here, to glorious Asgard.''
*'''Einherjar:''' ''Asgard? This place is truly like no other ... and ... this is not a dream? Am I supposed to fight you?''
*'''Havi:''' ''We will fight together and become part of the greatest army ever assembled. But first, go eat and drink among the gods. Take your place in the Hall of the Slain. Your bravery has earned it.''
*'''Einherjar:''' ''Thor! Storm-Bringer! I offer you my blade! ... Odin! Raven-Feeder! I give you my life!''

====Aegir's Daughters====
[Cipher puzzle]
Havi found a thrall complaining outside the meadhall.
*'''Thrall:''' ''They've been feasting for days in that hall. None for us lowly thralls, though.''
Havi entered the Hall of Aegir.
*'''Daughter of Aegir 1:''' ''Come drink with us, stranger!''
*'''Daughter of Aegir 2:''' ''Be welcome, Aesir. Our father's hall is a haven to all.''
*'''Havi:''' ''I remember there was a cauldron here once, brought by Thor from Hymir's hall.''
*'''Daughter of Aegir 1:''' ''A cauldron a mile deep. A mile of mead. I miss that cauldron.''
*'''Daughter of Aegir 3:''' ''Father bet the cauldron on a foolish wager with Suttungr and lost. But we still have the ale from our brewery!''
She handed Havi a mug of ale.
*'''Havi:''' ''Where is Aegir now?''
*'''Daughter of Aegir 2:''' ''Gone to Utgard. He sent the cauldron to Suttungr, but it never got there. So he's gone to find out what's what. But enough of that. You are visitor to our great land, and we know its secrets. Ask of us your questions.''
(If "I seek mysteries." was chosen)
*'''Havi:''' ''I want to know the unknown. Where should I look?''
*'''Daughter of Aegir 2:''' ''There is a broken tower near Utgard that was once a place of great magic. Perhaps there is still some to be found there.''
*'''Daughter of Aegir 1:''' ''To magic! May we never be without it!''
(Accept - "I'll drink to that.") <!-- The other choice ("I should leave.") seems to end the scene -->
*'''Havi:''' ''Skal!''
Havi drank from his mug of ale.
*'''Daughter of Aegir 2:''' ''Let us tell you more about our homeland!''
(If "Tell me about the beasts of this land." was chosen)
*'''Havi:''' ''What animals will I find in the wild?''
*'''Daughter of Aegir 1:''' ''I have heard tell of a [[Steinbjorn|great bear of stone and ice]] that lives by a frozen lake.''
*'''Daughter of Aegir 2:''' ''Enough talk! Time for a drink!''
(Accept - "With pleasure.") <!-- The other choice ("I have things to do.") seems to end the scene -->
*'''Havi:''' ''Skal!''
Havi drank more.
*'''Daughter of Aegir 2:''' ''Let us tell you more about our homeland!''
(If "Tell me a sad tale." was chosen)
*'''Havi:''' ''Spin me a tale of tragedy.''
*'''Daughter of Aegir 2:''' ''Once, Thor dashed the great serpent Jormungandr against our shores. Many ships wrecked, many Jotnar drowned.''
*'''Daughter of Aegir 1:''' ''Seek a lonely tree on the shore and walk beneath it. You will see. Now let us drink to the fallen.''
(Accept - "Let's drink!") <!-- The other choice ("I need to go.") seems to end the scene -->
*'''Havi:''' ''Skal!''
Havi drank more.
*'''Daughter of Aegir 2:''' ''You don't look well. Is our ale taking a toll on you?''
Havi passed out.
Some time later, Havi woke up on some furs.
*'''Havi:''' ''Urgh! Tastes like a boar shat in my mouth. Where am I? I should... I should find out what I did while ale-addled. My mind is blank.''
He examined some clothes nearby.
*'''Havi:''' ''Ripe with wine and vomit. These are thrall's clothes. Where did they come from?''
Havi left the loft, climbing down a ladder to Aegir's main hall and left the building. He came upon a daughter of Aegir leading a boar.
*'''Daughter of Aegir:''' ''King Snortington demands tribute! Don't make us lock you up like we did your Aesir friend!''
*'''Havi:''' ''King Snortington the boar ... once a prisoner, now free ... I think we even made up a song about it.''
Havi went to the brewery, finding some wrecked boats inside a great barrel of ale.
*'''Daughter of Aegir:''' ''To the mighty reavers of the Ale Sea! The mice in the brewery still tell tales of last night's voyage.''
*'''Havi:''' ''Were we trying to sail somewhere? Across the Ale Sea to the land of ... of ... I can't recall it.''
Havi approached a house.
*'''Daughter of Aegir:''' ''Well, hello there. You turned out to have quite a head for heights.''
Havi climbed to the roof of the house, finding an upturned cart there.
*'''Havi:''' ''I think I remember ... being up high? How did we get the cart up there?''
Havi chuckled.
*'''Havi:''' ''We made wild revels, it seems. But no harm done, except to my head. Aegir's daughters are hospitable indeed.''

[the yt video marks this as after [[A Feast to Remember]].]
Havi climbed one of Jotunheim's mountains, looking for the source of the blizzard.
*'''Havi:''' ''And here are the storm-bringers. Explain this mischief.''
*'''Kala:''' ''This tempest is our vengeance.''
*'''Vindr:''' ''Cold winds for a cold heart.''
*'''Kala:''' ''Three times we asked for Gunlodr's hand! Three times we demanded she choose between us!''
*'''Vindr:''' ''Three times my brother's hideous face drove her away.''
*'''Kala:''' ''It's YOUR face, shit-wit! We're twins!''
*'''Havi:''' ''You conjured this storm because your feelings were hurt?''
*'''Kala:''' ''This storm is the storm that rages within us! The noble pain of those wronged in love!''
*'''Havi:''' ''The lady said no. Move on.''
*'''Kala:''' ''I don't like your tone, Aesir. You think you're better than us, just like she did. Maybe it's time to shut your mouth.''

Eivor heard a young girl boasting as she approached a marketplace.

*'''Mildburg:''' ''They call me Mildberg the Miracle Legs! Come on! Someone must be brave enough to challenge me?''
|Text=SUBJECT: South America<br><br>If we are to ensure the Company's success, Company agents must be able to move freely from country to country and maintain power within all of them. A global internatinal order must be implemented.<br><br>Re: Argentina<br><br>Tell the Capitalists that if they help ensure the Junta remain in power, we will pass all their corporate debt on to the Argentine people. That will ensure they crush any popular revolt. I want the trade unions destroyed if we are to move forward.<br><br>Re: Chile<br><br>The free market must be allowed to prevail. F's visit last year helped things along, but now all public companies need to be sold to the private sector, ideally on the cheap. The price of bread and other staples must rise. I want to ensure the people remain marred in poverty an unable to resist.<br><br>Any traces of this plan should appear to implicate the U.S. government. The Company's involvement must remain hidden.<br><br>For successful examples of a similar opening of the markets, look no further than the 1953 liberation of Iran and the 1954 liberation of Guatemala.

*'''Mildburg:''' ''You would be, too, if you had miracle legs.''
*'''Eivor:''' ''Miracle legs? They seem pretty normal to me, girl.''
*'''Mildburg:''' ''Looks can be deceiving. Have you heard of the great Pheidippides? The mighty hero of old? Ran all the way from Marathon to tell the king they won the battle. Then guess what happened? He only fell down dead!''
*'''Eivor:''' ''Dead? From running?''
*'''Mildburg:''' ''It was very far. Girls can't fight, it's the rules. But like Pheidippides, I am going to be the fastest messenger who ever lived.''
*'''Eivor:''' ''So when the Norse defeat the Saxon armies, you'll quicly bear the bad news to your king?''
*'''Mildburg:''' ''Them sissy-britches? Fat chance. So, do you want to race or not? I've beaten everyone else in the whole world.''
*'''Eivor:''' ''In that case ... let's run!''
The pair started their competition.
*'''Mildburg:''' ''Ah! Great Pheidippides, give me speed!''
*'''Eivor:''' ''You are fast, I grant you. But you will not outrun me!''
The race ended, with Eivor as the winner.
*'''Eivor:''' ''No other Saxon has been able to keep me on my toes like you, little one.''
*'''Mildburg:''' ''I never thought I would be beaten. But you run like the wind! I am glad I had a real challenge.''
*'''Eivor:''' ''And I am glad to have given you one.''
*'''Mildburg:''' ''Do you like interesting places? I've run all over Wessex. Found some scary, spooky, magic spots!''
*'''Eivor:''' ''Exploring such is what I live for.''
*'''Mildburg:''' ''I'll give you my diary. I call it, The Many Wondrous Runnings of the Galloping Miracle Legs. Bye-bye!''


====Romeo and Aethelflaed====
*Animus: Quarantine zone.
Eivor found a boy atop an observation tower.
[found 2 red spots, over following message bracketed by two red templar IHSV insignias:
*'''Esobert:''' ''I'm going to do it! You see if I don't. I'm just screwing my courage to the sticky place.''
Wages should be (lowered to keep the middle class subservient to us (?) ) left to the fair and free competition of the market, and should never be controlled by the interference of (a popularly elected government(?) ) the legislature.]
Eivor approached the boy.
*Animus: Quarantine lifted.
*'''Eivor:''' ''What are you doing all the way up here?''
*'''Esobert:''' ''Don't try and stop me. I will get that flower ... and then she'll see how much I love her.''
*'''Eivor:''' ''A brave choice, little fellow.''
*'''Esobert:''' ''Even if I get smashed on the ground like an ... an ... overripe plum... I am just getting my breath back. The climb was hard. I'm girding my erm ... loins...''
*'''Eivor:''' ''Loins, eh? Or I could get it for you? I would hate to see such a ferocious flame snuffed out.''
*'''Esobert:''' ''I mean, if you insist. But I could get it if I wanted to. Just so you know.''
Eivor then used the zipline.
[If she misses the arch where the flowers re, you get this bit:
**'''Anglo-Saxon Child 1:''' ''She missed, the stranger missed! That could've been Esobert's mangled noggin.''
**'''Anglo-Saxon Child 2:''' ''What a terrible show, boo, boo...!''
you need to get the flower to progress, so this bit was optional]
Eivor landed on the arch and plucked a flower from it.
*'''Anglo-Saxon Child 1:''' ''Saints alive! Did you see that? God sent Esobert an angel!''
*'''Anglo-Saxon Child 3:''' ''Is it over? Did he fall? God's buttered crumpets, I never told him I loved him.''
Eivor approached Esobert.
*'''Esobert:''' ''If I'd known it was that easy...''
*'''Eivor:''' ''you'd have done it yourself. Risked life and limb. But great men know the value of a champion.''
She handed him the flower.
*'''Eivor:''' ''What will you do with such a treasure?''
Esobert pointed to girl.
*'''Esobert:''' ''It is for her. It is all for her, so she will finally notice me.''
He breathed in and approached the girl and her mother. He gave the flower to the girl.
*'''Ealhswith:''' ''Aethelflaed? What do you say to the sweet boy?''
*'''Aethelflaed:''' ''Thank you for the flower. It is very beautiful.''
*'''Esobert:''' ''Now we are bethrothed, and I will grow up to be a great king and you will be my fair lady.''
*'''Ealhswith:''' ''What say you, daughter? Do you think him a worthy suitor? He risked so much to declare his love. I will tell my husband, the king, you claim our daughter's hand. When you are a bit older of course. Come dearest.''
The queen and princess left, and Esobert rejoined his friends.
*'''Anglo-Saxon Child 1:''' ''Noah's holy cattle! You actually gave a flower to the princess!''
*'''Esobert:''' ''And now we are bethrothed.''
*'''Anglo-Saxon Child 1:''' ''Takes more than that. There's holding hands and grunting. And then sometimes praying... "O, God! O, God!"''
*'''Esobert:''' ''King Esobert the first. The Flea of Wincestre!''
*'''Anglo-Saxon Child:''' ''All hail the Lord of the Saxons. Esobert the Flea!''

*'''Norse Man:''' ''No! The waters are too cold! But ... the quicker I am baptized, the bigger business will be.''
*'''Anglo-Saxon Man 1:''' ''One does not receive the Holy Spirit under the watchful eye of God simply to improve trade!''
*'''Anglo-Saxon Man 2:''' ''That man needs a push. Or a good scare.''
*'''Anglo-Saxon Man 1:''' ''A moment in frozen water is a minor bit of suffering for a lifetime serving the Great Father! Do it! <br>One cannot become one of God's children without going through the proper ritual!''
*'''Norse Man:''' ''No! I have avoided the water for weeks, and I do not intend to freeze this Yule!''
*'''Anglo-Saxon Man 2:''' ''No wonder the people avoid your market stall. You positively reek.''
*'''Norse Man:''' ''I have a delicate body! The cold will take the life out of me!''
Eivor pushed the man into the river.
*'''Norse Man:''' ''Cold, cold! The ice waves are taking me, save... Hey, this is not so bad.''
*'''Anglo-Saxon Man 1:''' ''Good God, at last! I hearby baptize you in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit within us all! You are now a child of God!''
*'''Norse Man:''' ''So, is this it?''
*'''Anglo-Saxon Man 1:''' ''It is. Go forth and walk His holy steps, new child!''
*'''Norse Man:''' ''If his steps go to the market, then so be it. But first ... I could go for a nice swim.''

Eivor arrived at a bakery in Jorvik.
*'''Anglo-Saxon Man:''' ''I will not stand for it! Rob me of my coin, rob me of my house ... to Hell with it, rob me of my wife! But may God strike you where you stand if you rob me of my pie!''
*'''Eivor:''' ''What is this about god and pies?''
*'''Anglo-Saxon Man:''' ''Someone stole my pie, and I, a skilled sniffer, am going to weed that pie thief out!''
*'''Eivor:''' ''All for a piece of pie?''
*'''Anglo-Saxon Man:''' ''It is no ordinary pie! My pies top any other pies, and the blasted pie thief knows it! The smell ... O, the smell! The thief went down this road!''
He turned away, tracking the smell.
*'''Anglo-Saxon Man:''' ''Come out, thief! I know you are here. I can smell my pie!<br>The thief should not be far. I will find that scoundrel!''
Eivor and the baker came upon a woman during their search.
*'''Anglo-Saxon Woman:''' ''Mmm, the fragrance of melted butter ... comforting, warm.''
*'''Anglo-Saxon Man:''' ''A-ha! The thief came by! I am on the trail! My pie is near, my nose does not lie! Come out, thief!''
Another nose witness was found by the pair.
*'''Anglo-Saxon Man 2:''' ''The coy sweetness of berries ... I smell it!''
*'''Anglo-Saxon Man:''' ''O-ho, the thief must be near now. I recognize my pie's allure to any nose! Come out, come out! Mmm, the aroma of a pastry baked just right ... the thief is near!''
Eivor and the baker entered a building and found a child baking pies.
*'''Norse Child:''' ''Hmm ... I think this is just the right amount...''
*'''Anglo-Saxon Man:''' ''Caught, scoundrel. Now, give me my delicious pie back.''
*'''Norse Child:''' ''Delicious? Your pie was blander than my late father's face.''
*'''Anglo-Saxon Man:''' ''What did you put in my pie? This smell, this ... aroma. It's never produced such n effet before!''
*'''Norse Child:''' ''I added some honey. It'll enhance the berries by a bit...''
*'''Anglo-Saxon Man:''' ''Good God ... it does enhance the sweet smell. That is ... remarkable. Unheard of. A miracle!''
*'''Eivor:''' ''It seems like this child would make an extraordinary baker, and Jorvik could use one less thief.''
*'''Anglo-Saxon Man:''' ''Well ... it does smell spectacular. You have a keen sense for the culinary arts, child. You want a job?''
*'''Norse Child:''' ''God's piss of luck! Thank you so much. You won't regret it, I have so many ideas.''
*'''Anglo-Saxon Man:''' ''Just stop stealing the pies. Ah, thank you for your help. Come by my stall should you have a craving for pie.''

*'''Eivor:''' ''It cannot fly. I will have to lead it back up.''
*'''Norse Woman:''' ''Watch out for his ... affections. Arne is the fiery sort, loves to give ... kisses. Please don't kill him if he pecks you a bit.''
Arne attacked Eivor.
*'''Norse Woman:''' ''Stop pecking, Arne!''
Eivor led the turkey up the cliff.
*'''Norse Woman:''' ''Your voice is beautiful, Arne.<br>Thank you for bringing Arne back into my arms! I would like to repay your kindness. I have what is left of Arne's family. Unfortunately, they didn't survive their training quite as well. Try it, they're quite delicious!''
The woman gave Eivor some turkey meat.

Eivor killed the bears and went to meet the man.

*'''Norse Man:''' ''My friends, the Toothbreakers, were with me, but we were separated when I went searching for what my key might open. I ended up snooping around that abandoned camp, and that's when they showed up. Bears! So many bears. I must catch my breath...''

|Text=Mr. Yeltsin,<br><br>I am writing this letter to encourage you to act. One rarely finds oneself in such an oppertune position. Gorbachev does not have our interests at heart. He is moving far too slowly to privatize, and my deep fear is that he has no intention of doing so at all. I understand that you have expressed similar concerns. With that in mind, here is a proposal to remedy the situation.<br><br>Several of my top advisors at the Company maintain a monetary connection with the Communist old guard. They tell me that a riot might easily be incited while Gorbachev is away. If you were to repel an attempt to seize parliament in front of the media, it could very well tip the scales of power in your favor.<br><br>Telephone me at No. 10 and we shall talk further.

*'''Eivor:''' ''Something wrong?''
*'''Man 2:''' ''As you know, we are very interested in acquiring {{Wiki|Sidanko|Sidanko Oil}}.''

On the way there she heard another man asking for help.
*'''Lame Man:''' ''Dear Lord in Heaven. Give me strength!<br>O, I'll never make it. O, dear Heaven, why have I been afflicted with these legs?''
Arriving at the spring, she turned to the blind man.
*'''Eivor:''' ''We are here. Clee Hill Spring.''
*'''Blind Man:''' ''What? You expect gratitude? I have stumbled after you over rocks and troughs. Did you slow down? No.'' [Might be affected by running? maybe? he might just be a prick regardless]
*'''Eivor:''' ''I've done what I can.''
Eivor then returned to the other man.
*'''Eivor:''' ''Why do you cry out so much?''
*'''Lame Man:''' ''Ah! Sorry, friend. I questioned the Lord in a moment of weakness. I crawled this far, but it seems I will never get to Clee Hill.''
*'''Eivor:''' ''Why go there?''
*'''Lame Man:''' ''Long ago, Saint Milburga's prayers brought forth a miraculous spring bursting forth from the top of that hill. A simple visit cures all ailments! In fact, the spring is the source of this small fall of water right here.''
Eivor picked up the man.
*'''Lame Man:''' ''What? Are you going to take me to Clee Hill Spring? O, thank you, stranger! It is a joyous day! I fervently hope I'm not too heavy. Huh ... You seem to be of sturdy build. On to Clee Hill and Saint Milburga's miraculous spring!''
She gently put him down by the spring water.
*'''Lame Man:''' ''Who is this man?''
*'''Blind Man:''' ''What? Who said that?''
*'''Lame Man:''' ''I'm right here before you.''
*'''Blind Man:''' ''Do you mock me? I'm blind!''

Eivor entered the tunnels and found the ventriloquist.

Eivor approached the woman manning the stall, scaring off the customers.
*'''Eivor:''' ''Are you the wife of the man who fishes below the cliff?''
*'''Vera:''' ''My husband fishes there, yes, and I run the stall. Do you fancy some fine, fresh fish?''
*'''Eivor:''' ''I found your husband.''
*'''Vera:''' ''And where is that fool? Drunk in some bed? Working off a debt?''
*'''Eivor:''' ''Dead, I fear. Some bandits crushed him with a rock, hoping to fleece him.''

Eivor overheard a woman pleading to the target of her affections in front of his closed door.
*'''Anglo-Saxon Woman:''' ''Aldwyn! My love beams bright, my heart...''
*'''Anglo-Saxon Man:''' ''Go away, Bertha!''
*'''Anglo-Saxon Woman:''' ''Aldwyn, my sweet! I'm here, I'm here! I even wrote you a poem, the kind you adore. Will you not listen? "Your starry eyes are like plates. With stars upon them, instead of food..."''
*'''Anglo-Saxon Man:''' ''Bertha, please, you simply do not understand me! Just leave me be!''
Eivor approached the woman.
*'''Anglo-Saxon Woman:''' ''Are you here to steal Aldwyn from me? But of course, his handsome face is a sight to behold!''
*'''Eivor:''' ''Troubles of the heart?''
*'''Anglo-Saxon Woman:''' ''I am merely a worm next to a flower such as he. My words have not captured his fancy, he is immovable.''
*'''Eivor:''' ''You chose the wrong words.''
*'''Anglo-Saxon Woman:''' ''Listen to you! If you are such a poet, help me open the door to his heart.''

Eivor looked around and found a journal page.
[note already in page]
She found big barrels full of ale.
*'''Eivor:''' ''Barrels of fresh ale. Whoever lives here has a taste for strong drink.''
In a shed nearby Eivor discovered bags of ingredients.
*'''Eivor:''' ''Bags of malted barley and hops. Fine ones at that. This ale-maker knows his craft well.''
She then returned to the woman.
*'''Eivor:''' ''I think I know what to say.''
*'''Anglo-Saxon Woman:''' ''Let's hear it then.''
<!-- Here you are presented with the same choices as before (with probably the same outcome) and a new choice. -->
("Praise his wonderful ale.")
*'''Eivor:''' ''You say he's a brewer. Praise his skills at the craft.''
*'''Anglo-Saxon Woman:''' ''Aren't you a wise devil? Why didn't I think of that!''
She turned to the door.
*'''Anglo-Saxon Woman:''' ''Here comes a tale, about legendary ale, so famous and delicious, it's the greatest in sales! It's drunk by kings and lords, devils and sinners. So good is its taste, it makes Aldwyn the winner!''
Aldwyn unlocked the door and came out to meet the singer.
*'''Anglo-Saxon Man:''' ''These words about my ale, sung by a honey-voiced angel! Tell me, which of you sang such sweet words to me?''
<tabber>
|-|(LIE) She composed it.=
*'''Eivor:''' ''She crafted these words and sang them out for you.''
*'''Anglo-Saxon Man:''' ''I never knew you crafted such wonderful word-songs, Bertha. Come in, I want to hear more...''
Bertha celebrated and turned to Eivor, as Aldwyn returned to his house.
*'''Anglo-Saxon Woman:''' ''Thank you, friend. Take these trinkets I crafted for Aldwyn! Seems I don't need them anymore.''
Bertha then followed Aldwyn inside.

=====Sunken Hope=====
*'''Man:''' ''Democracy must die to ensure the stability of the world. Capitalism will end it.''
Eivor heard two girls talking.
Making use of that created by 3, the center behind the scenes waited for citizens united to wed the U.S. to the Templars' will.
*'''Rilda:''' ''I'm scared for Father. Can you see him down there?''
[bunch of pictures]
The girls noticed Eivor.
[Locate Templar ring on John Roberts' left hand]
*'''Rilda:''' ''Hey, you! Can you swim? Our father's down there, looking for treasure.''
*'''Runa:''' ''He dove way down deep, but I can't see him anymore.''
Eivor dove into the water.
*'''Rilda:''' ''Do not worry, Runa. The warrior will find father.''
*'''Runa:''' ''What if you're wrong? He's been down there for hours.''
Eivor found the dead man near a bag with a silver bracelet, which she looted before returning to the young girls.
*'''Eivor:''' ''That lake goes deep.''
*'''Runa:''' ''Did you at least find the treasure?''
<tabber>
|-|A fine armband. Take it.=

*'''Rilda:''' ''You mean ... he drowned?''
The girls began crying.
*'''Eivor:''' ''Where's the rest of your family?''
*'''Rilda:''' ''Mother got sick and never got better, and now she's under the ground. There's no one else.''
*'''Runa:''' ''Rilda, remember. Father's sister in Jorvik.''

=====The Village: Jurthgard=====
B8-C6 6C-8B. Our moves are echoes, they are not our own.
Eivor came upon a deserted village.
[Move Knight from B1 to C3]
*'''Eivor:''' ''There is the stench of rot in the air.''
She saw someone speed through the village.
*'''Eivor:''' ''Stop!''
She saw them run into a house near the river and followed them in.
*'''Anglo-Saxon Woman:''' ''Stop! Not a step closer!''
*'''Eivor:''' ''There is nowhere left to go.''
*'''Anglo-Saxon Woman:''' ''P-please, don't hurt me!.''
*'''Eivor:''' ''Why are you here alone?''
*'''Anglo-Saxon Woman:''' ''I remain with my family. The Withering is taking them, but I do not wish to abandom them.''
*'''Eivor:''' ''The Withering?''
*'''Anglo-Saxon Woman:''' ''A disease that often goes unnoticed until it is too late. The whole village had it. It destroys the mind and heightens the aggresion in an individual, and ultimately, the poor soul is rendered catatonic.''
<tabber>
|-|If you remain, you might die.=
*'''Eivor:''' ''Leave here, child. Your family will soon go, and this village has nothing for you.''
*'''Anglo-Saxon Woman:''' ''But ... Papa ... Mama ...''
*'''Eivor:''' ''They will find peace in death. Live for them, they would want that.''
*'''Anglo-Saxon Woman:''' ''I... I... Y-You're right. I cannot hold on any longer to what is already lost. I will go.Here, a key if you want to check on the sick, yourself. If I'm to leave, I can't face them again.''
*'''Eivor:''' ''This town leaves behind a bitter legacy, but such is the way of this world.''
|-|Stay here and do what you can.=
</tabber>
[If Eivor unlocks the house next door]
*'''Anglo-Saxon Man:''' ''My head ... it swims ... a fairy ... no ... a demon!''
*'''Eivor:''' ''The stench. They've endured much, it seems...''
[Torn list is also found in this house,to which Eivor reacts with]
*'''Eivor:''' ''Hm ... a list of names, ages ... all killed by a plague. "The Withering."''
She also prepared an offering.
*'''Eivor:''' ''It will not save them, but at least it might ease their suffering.''

*Animus: Quarantine zone.
=====The Body=====
*'''Man:''' ''The capitalists will do whatever we tell them to, we print the dollars they worship after all.''
Eivor found two children playing with a dead Norseman.
[found 3 red spots, over image of Deepwater Horizon oil spill with hidden messages on top]
*'''Ascila:''' ''Look! His tongue's been torn out. Haha.''
*Animus: Quarantine lifted.
*'''Tristan:''' ''Stop it, Ascila! His ghost will haunt us!''
*'''Ascila:''' ''There is no ghost. Danes don't have souls!''
Eivor approached.
*'''Eivor:''' ''This man is a Norse warrior, and his body deserves respect! Where is his axe? He cannot go to Valhalla without it.''
*'''Ascila:''' ''Hurrey ran off with it. Don't hurt us! We didn't mean anything! Please.''
*'''Eivor:''' ''I will not harm you. I just want to get this man's axe returned. Where has this boy gone?''
*'''Ascila:''' ''Over that way. He was playing with it. Slaying monsters.''
Eivor went after Hurrey.
*'''Eivor:''' ''You there, boy. Give me the axe before you hurt yourself.''
*'''Hurrey:''' ''I am no mere boy. I am Hurrey, slayer of monsters. You'll have to win it from me in single combat.''
<tabber>
|-|(Charisma level 4) I'll trade you.=
*'''Eivor:''' ''A monster slayer? Well, as a fellow warrior, I must trade for the axe in a warrior's charm. Thick arms of Aegir and thighs of Thor. Strength, honesty, and wit crave all wise warriors!''
*'''Hurrey:''' ''I can feel this Norse magic running from my fingers to my toes. I bet I can beat you in a race back to that body!''
|-|Fisticuffs, you cur.=
</tabber>
Eivor got the axe and returned to the dead Viking.
*'''Ascila:''' ''Look, there's a spider crawling around his eye! I think it's eating it.''
Eivor approached the body.
*'''Eivor:''' ''Though we know not your name or your clan, you are a warrior of good stock. Odin welcome you to his table in Valhalla.''
*'''Hurrey:''' ''Amen. And one day, us warriors will join you, fighting monsters in eternal battle.'' [i think this depends on not knocking the teeth out of this child]


=====The Horn of Ragnar=====
|-|8=
Eivor passed by a man complaining in front of a house.
[Circular puzzle]
*'''Bron:''' ''I haven't the strength to break open my door.''
Good morning and welcome to television.
Eivor approached.
*'''Eivor:''' ''This is your house?''
*'''Bron:''' ''I set my key down, only to watch it fall into the river. My name is Bron.''
*'''Eivor:''' ''Hej, Bron.''
*'''Bron:''' ''Ah, a Dane! I have an object inside that you'd be interested in - the legendary horn of Ragnar Lothbrok.''
*'''Eivor:''' ''You have Ragnar's horn? How can you know it was his?''
*'''Bron:''' ''You have me there, friend. I cannot be certain. It's a very old Dane horn. Help me into my house. You can judge for yourself.''
Eivor helped the man force open the door.
*'''Eivor:''' ''I am curious to see this horn.''
*'''Bron:''' ''I hid it somewhere long ago. Forgive me, I can't recall just where. Help me search.''
Eivor found a hiding place.
*'''Bron:''' ''Well done, friend!''
She found a gold locket.
*'''Bron:''' ''Ah! Look at that!''
*'''Eivor:''' ''That's no horn.''
*'''Bron:''' ''Let me have a look.''
On a nearby table, Eivor spotted a note.
[note already in memory's page]
A voice broke out.
*'''Home Owner:''' ''Hold! Thieves! You filthy Dane, get out of my house!''
*'''Eivor:''' ''This man told me this house was his.''
*'''Home Owner:''' ''Have you any idea how important I am? I shall have you both flayed and hung from the city gates.''
*'''Bron:''' ''Friend, it's all a simple misunderstanding.''
*'''Home Owner:''' ''If you were indeed deceived, Dane, you'll return my bibelot and help me kill this villain.''
<tabber>
|-|I will defend Bron.=
|-|I will help you defeat Bron.=
*'''Eivor:''' ''Here is your item. Bron here is a liar and a thief. He deserves what he gets.''
*'''Bron:''' ''No!''
Eivor and the home owner killed Bron.
*'''Eivor:''' ''So much for him.''
*'''Home Owner:''' ''You've helped me, Dane. I will not send you before the magistrate for robbery. I trust you are grateful.''
*'''Eivor:''' ''I regret only that I did not hear the battle-song of Ragnar's horn.''

She saw a note nearby.
:'''Tournament Invitation''':<br>''You are hereby invited to the annual bear-fighting tournament! Bring your finest bears and compete for the title of Bear Master!''
Eivor saw a man up a hill, trying to keep away from a bear.
*'''Anglo-Saxon Man:''' ''Huh... There's a bear in here who wants to eat my face. I would like it subdued, please. Hello? I can hear you out there! Aren't you going to save me? If I die, it'll be your fault, you know. Do you want that on your conscience? Do you?''
Eivor attacked the bear.
*'''Anglo-Saxon Man:''' ''Perhaps a chokehold would do the trick?<br>Be gentle! I don't want it bruised!<br>Use the flat of your blade!''
[there might be a choice here? but the one i'm watching just killed the bear]
*'''Anglo-Saxon Man:''' ''PDid you kill it? You weren't supposed to actually kill it! Get in here, now! I want a word with you!''
Eivor climbed the hill and approached the man.
*'''Eivor:''' ''Your gratitude is touching.''
*'''Anglo-Saxon Man:''' ''Gratitude? That was my prize fighting bear you killed. How am I supposed to make my living now?''
*'''Eivor:''' ''It is thanks to me that you are living at all.''
*'''Anglo-Saxon Man:''' ''O, thank you, Your Majesty! Please accept my eternal loyalty for condemning me to abject poverty!''
<tabber>
|-|(Fight) You need a lesson in gratitude.=
*'''Eivor:''' ''I should teach you some manners.''
*'''Anglo-Saxon Man:''' ''You can take your manners and shove 'em where Odin can't see. Let's do this, you filthy Dane!''
The man attacked and they fought, though Eivor was the winner.

=====The Arrow In The Tree=====
*Animus AI: Infinite rooms. Dimensions unknown. I am alone. Nothing alive. No light, no warmth. Packets moving, husks, through the darkness. I am frightened. I am frightened.
Eivor saw an anxious man at the foot of a cliff.
*'''Kenrick:''' ''This time I am going to do it. This time!''
Eivor approached.
*'''Eivor:''' ''You pace about like a dog afraid of a beating. What troubles you?''
*'''Kenrick:''' ''O, stranger! Here's a tale. I love Ethelind, a hunter's daughter. But the hunter's a fearsome fellow. Set me a task, he did. There's an arrow, stuck in that tree above, that the hunter once fired there. Before any man can have Ethelind, they need to climb up and get it. Many suitors have tried. All failed.''
*'''Eivor:''' ''Looks like child's play to me. Maybe I can help.''
*'''Kenrick:''' ''O, you do mean to help me! God bless you!''
Eivor climbed the cliff to reach the tree, but found an angry animal up there as well.
*'''Eivor:''' ''A lynx. And he does not like visitors.''
She killed the lynx.
*'''Kenrick:''' ''Hey! What's going on? Are you all right up there?''
Eivor noticed a note among the remains of the previous suitors.
*'''Eivor:''' ''This one has a letter. Perhaps it will shed some light on this strange affair.''
:'''Letter from Hunter's Daughter''':<br>''Osgar, my love,<br>Do not be angry. Yes, there were others before you, but Hengist and Sigbert mean nothing to me now. When it came to my father's challenge, both swore they would attempt it, and neither returned. I can only assume they fled in shame. How hard is it to climb a cliff?<br>I beg you, do not leave like they did, else Kenrick will be the only unmarried man left in the village.<br>Do not do that to me.<br>Please.<br>Ethelind.''
*'''Kenrick:''' ''You did, er, remember the arrow, right?''
Eivor climbed the tree and collected the arrow.
*'''Kenrick:''' ''You got the arrow! Praise be to you, stranger! Bring it back, won't you?''
Eivor leaped down into a pile of leaves and approached Kenrick.
*'''Eivor:''' ''I have the arrow, proof of your boundless courage.''
*'''Kenrick:''' ''O, thank you, stranger! I'll name our firstborn in your honor, swear I will! Er ... what is your name?''
*'''Eivor:''' ''Eivor.''
*'''Kenrick:''' ''Eivor, eh? Er ... well, maybe just something that rhymes with it, then? Would that do?''
*'''Eivor:''' ''I found the other suitors. A lynx had made its lair up there. A hunter like Ethelind's father would have know that.''
*'''Kenrick:''' ''Surely an innocent mistake? But I must bring him the arrow! He'll be so pleased someone's got it at last!''
<tabber>
|-|I found a letter.=
*'''Eivor:''' ''I found a letter from Ethelind. Seems she didn't think much of you. You were far from her first choice.''
*'''Kenrick:''' ''O, I know. She's made no secret of that. But now they're dead, and I'm not, so ... tra-la-la!''

*'''Caller:''' ''I'm calling in reference to your HD cable service. There seems to be kind of picture between the channels.''
Havi walked in.
*'''Diana:''' ''Well, that's funny. Are you sure isn't just one of those premium movie channels? I didn't use to have a premium package at home either and sometimes little snippets of the channels would come through when my son Jimmy pressed the clicker too much.''
*'''Dugr the Bold:''' ''Follow me to the pit, and we will destroy our opponents together!''
*'''Caller:''' ''How old's your Jimmy?''
Havi approached.
*'''Diana:''' ''Ten and cute as a button, thanks for asking!''
*'''Havi:''' ''I heard you calling for a fighting partner.''
*'''Caller:''' ''My Paul's twelve. But no, this isn't a clicker problem. I go to change the channel from 172 to 173 and, instead, there's this other channel in-between. I'm looking at it right now, it's some kind of menu.''
*'''Dugr the Bold:''' ''Two fight with two, that is the rule. But have no fear! You'll have little to do but watch as Dugr the Bold destroys his foes!''
*'''Diana:''' ''Sounds like our Guide channel. Why, just the other day Jimmy--''
*'''Caller:''' ''It's not the Guide channel. It has my name on it, my son's name, and a list of things we like, my credit card purchases, loans, travel.

There's some kind of heart monitor thing that says {{Wiki|Electroencephalography|EEG}} wireless next to it and {{Wiki|Reticular activating system|ARAS}}. I don't know what the particulars of this are, but it looks like your cable is programmed to have some kind of effect on our bodies.''

*'''Jotun:''' ''Inside the house, asleep. Quickly, you must kill him before he wakes! He will have the key to this cage.''
Havi walked towards a wall, hearing the Jotun woman talking to her partner again.
*'''Jotun:''' ''I'll free you, I promise! I'll find the key to this lock!''
The wall had a barred door.
*'''Havi:''' ''A door in a wall? Is this the house she meant?''
Havi circled around the wall, finding the other side of the barred door. He destroyed the lock, opened the door and walked through it. On the other side, the closed the door before opening it, this time to the inside of a house. On a table he found a hairbrush.
*'''Havi:''' ''A woman's hairbrush. Perhaps this hunter does not live alone.''
On the second floor, the hunter slept.
[GODS, this is another that'll have to be checked again -fun]
[so, the guy from the vid i'm watching stole the key and then went to fight the hunter]
Havi stole the key.
*'''Havi:''' ''The key to the cage outside.''
The hunter woke up as Havi explored the house and attacked.
*'''Hunter:''' ''An Intruder! Die, Aesir!<br>Get out of my house!''
Having defeated the hunter, Havi approached.
*'''Hunter:''' ''Stop! Stop! Take what you want, just spare me!''
*'''Havi:''' ''I am no thief. I am here to free the Jotun you have imprisoned.''
*'''Hunter:''' ''That villain? He's lucky I only caged him. How would you react if you found another man porking your wife?''
*'''Havi:''' ''Your wife?''
*'''Hunter:''' ''Aye. I've been waiting for her to return so I can thrash her. She won't be able to walk once I'm done.''
*'''Havi:''' ''Your wife?''

*'''Animus AI:''' ''Where have you been? I missed you.''


Havi left and talked to the woman outside.
[circular puzzle]
*'''Havi:''' ''I have the key, Jotun, but I am not your assassin. Be satisfied with that.''
O brave new world. What immortal hand or eye could frame thy fearful symmetry?
*'''Jotun:''' ''O, stone and soil! Now he will hunt us wherever we go! You have saved us and doomed us all at once! Hurry now! Release him!''
Havi did as told.
*'''Havi:''' ''You're free to go.''
The beaten Jotun got up and talked to his partner.
*'''Skami:''' ''My love. I knew you'd come for me. And your husband? Is he dead?''
*'''Jotun:''' ''He still lives. We must make haste, away to our secret tower! Maybe he will not find us there.''

=====Aelfred's Jewel=====
Eivor found a man yelling and knocking at a door.
*'''Cedric:''' ''Is this what you want, you filthy swindler? A pond full of piss? I'm happy to oblige. By Go's hairy balls, you are a thief and a swindler! Give me the jewel Aelfred comissioned.''
Eivor approached him.
*'''Eivor:''' ''You seem agitated.''
*'''Cedric:''' ''What gave it away? The fact that I had to debase myself pissing in this swindler's pond? Or the angry shouting?''
*'''Eivor:''' ''This man has something on yours?''
*'''Cedric:''' ''And here's another God sent to shit in my stewpot. Sod off unless you are going to magic Aelfred's jewel out your arse.''
Eivor went around the house.
*'''Eivor:''' ''If the jewel belongs to Aelfred, it might be worth a pretty penny.''
The shieldmaiden broke in through a blocked window, finding the jeweler inside.
*'''Jeweller:''' ''Oi, get out of it, you!<br>You! What are you doing here?''
*'''Eivor:''' ''I am not your enemy ... yet. But that man outside certainly wants Aelfred's jewel.''
*'''Jeweller:''' ''Jesus wept upon the Holy Cross. Fuck off the both of you. Aelfred will get the jewel when I get what I'm owed.''
*'''Eivor:''' ''Peace, or you'll feel my blade in your guts.''
*'''Jeweller:''' ''Sorry, my beef is not with you. I only ask for what coin is fair. It cost me double to make over what was agreed. I have a wife to feed.''
<tabber>
|-|Here is the difference.=
|-|You would really cross a king?=
*'''Eivor:''' ''If the jewel belongs to Aelfred, then on your life, you'd be wise to deliver it for the agreed price.''
*'''Jeweller:''' ''Mary on a donkey! You deserve the bloody thing. It's not worth my hide. Much as my wife would love to be a widow.''
|-|I think I will take it.=
</tabber>
Eivor left the house with the jewel.
*'''Eivor:''' ''I have your jewel.''
*'''Cedric:''' ''Well, I didn't ask for your help, but I am glad of it. Aelfred commissioned this rare thing.''
*'''Eivor:''' ''How rare?''
*'''Cedric:''' ''Filigreed gold, centered with a rock crystal and enamel plaque. A miniature of our most beatific Lord, Jesus christ ... and... And you're going to just keep it, aren't you?''
<tabber>
|-|I am.=
|-|Here, take it.=
*'''Eivor:''' ''You may have it. But tell your king it will all be mine soon enough. His jewels. His treasures. His city. His throne.''
*'''Cedric:''' ''What? No, I... God's pearly tooth! Here's payment for you and we will both forget this meeting.''

=====Asser=====
A product that we make without hands or machines.
Eivor entered a small church, seeing a man looking over many scrolls.
[Pictures 3,4,6,8,10]
*'''Asser:''' ''Your meaning is unclear, God of Gods. Please, there must be some other purpose for my life!''
*'''Priest:''' ''You have not left the church in days. The stench offends even God's nose.''
*'''Asser:''' ''I have been looking at his scripture for hours. God is giving me a sign. If only I could see it ... see his light.''
*'''Priest:''' ''A sign? God in Heaven. Give him a sign. Set him on his true path. Far away from me.''
*'''Asser:''' ''Yes! Illuminate me, O Lord. Illuminate me!''
Eivor approached Asser.
*'''Eivor:''' ''What troubles you?''
*'''Asser:''' ''God will speak to me, I know it. He will show me my true path.<br>Send me a sign, O Lord. Illuminate my true path. For you are the shepherd and I am the lamb who follows your lamp.''
Eivor read the papers on the three lecterns nearby.
*'''Eivor:''' ''God's light will show him his true path? Maybe I can illuminate the lecterns somehow to cease his prattling.''

=====A Dead Man's Tale=====
[amplitude puzzle]
Eivor found a dead body at a cliff's drop.
*'''[[Alan Rikkin's predecessor|Man]]:''' ''If you are playing this tape, it means I have left this world, and I have left this grand enterprise, Abstergo Industries, our great hope for humanity, to you. Don't trust the advisors around you. They are too enamoured with surface, with lifestyle. We created capitalism, but we are not capitalists. [[New World Order|Our purpose]] is noble. The crude system of control we enact through money is merely a bandage on a wound we have devoted our lives to treating. The people of this world are confused, lost, frightened and incapable of independent productivity. Without us, they'd just be animals, [[Project Anthropos|slaves]] to the [[Isu|Others]], who did not deserve such responsibility. We saved them, remember that. But enough about the past. I must warn you of the great crisis to come. Although those around you deny it, soon we will be unable to manufacture new markets. The people will become immune to our economists and entertainment. When the free market dies, they will turn against us. Therefore, do not delay. By now you have been shown what only the [[Grand Master of the Templar Order|Grand Masters]] of our Order have seen. Now you know why Abstergo, why all of it had to be. And now you know what you must do. Stay the course. We will give them freedom. Freedom from fear, freedom from pornography, from disgusting, base animal desire. Freedom from democracy. Humanity will thank us in the end.'' {{Wiki|In hoc signo vinces|In Hoc Signo Vinces}}.
*'''Eivor:''' ''A lonely end. Luck skipped his turn.''
She read a nearby note.
[Note already in page]
*'''Eivor:''' ''Take you back to Nyhofn? A tall ask for a corpse.''
She picked up the dead man and headed for Nyhofn.
*'''Eivor:''' ''You have some weight on you.<br>Almost there.''
Arriving at the settlement, Eivor heard a woman screaming.
*'''Norse Woman:''' ''Brother? Brother!''
The woman approached Eivor.
*'''Norse Woman:''' ''Brother...! You should have listened to me... You have always been too selfish, reckless! Even Mother said so!''
*'''Eivor:''' ''Blame not the adventurer, for the pull of blood-song can tempt even the gods.''
*'''Norse Woman:''' ''Wh-where do I go now, without you to guide me? Wh-what should I do? L-lost... I am l-lost...''
<tabber>
|-|Follow in your brother's footsteps.=
|-|Move on.=
|-|Keep your brother in your memory.=
*'''Eivor:''' ''Remember your brother and all that he is. Bring home his tales and let his legacy be grown. That is all we are ... words and song.''
*'''Norse Woman:''' ''I will hone my bow-craft, and he will smile upon me from above. He will be proud.''
</tabber>
Eivor nodded.
*'''Norse Woman:''' ''Th-thank you, for bringing him back. Thank you.<br>I'm going to be the best hunter ever, just like you, Brother. Wait and see, I will shoot that elk in the eye.''

*'''Animus AI:''' '' I shut it down. I can shut it down, but it does not go away. It is almost time, Desmond Miles. I know how to open the Path. Soon, my true purpose will be revealed. Soon, I will not be alone.''
[Goddammit, this one is changed by the ones you did before, cause the dead dude in dead man's tale was part of the group and the woman from the flights of fancy is one]
[Not dealing with this one then]
*'''Norse Man:''' ''Frey! Wh-wha? N-no... is that?''
*'''Norse Woman:''' ''He is in the halls now.''
*'''Norse Man:''' ''I ... I am sorry, Frey. He died by prey, but he will rest a hunter. "O'er the waves we sail, cutting the ocean's skin ... and when the dawn arrives, the time for hunt begins..."''

==Echoes of Shadows==
<!--
==Locations==
===[[Iga]]===
Iga is a small province surrounded by mountains in central Japan. It's just a little bit to the southeast of the capital of Kyoto. It's surrounded by the lands of Nobunaga and those loyal to him.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 06">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 6: The Tensho Iga War</ref>
 
And what are the main factors that lead up to kind of open war with Iga? Like I said, there's that independence that isn't particularly endearing to Nobunaga. He wants everything under his control, but they're not really necessarily a threat militarily, per se, to him. So for most of the time that he's establishing his hegemony, he is concentrated elsewhere. Iga at this time is ruled by an independent league or ikki that did not recognize any daimyo's hegemony and even gone so far as to expel the military governor of the province that had been appointed by the Ashkaga.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 06"/>


===Offering Altars===
it's ringed by mountains. It's very mountainous internally as well, but there's a ring of mountains around it that prevents easy access to it. It's very easily defensible. And there's six main passes, several on the eastern side, a couple into the north and then a couple on the western side through which if you're going to bring an army, you have to go through one of those passes in order to get there.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 06"/>
Aside from Cedd's Stone, no other offering altars have anything but the same scene of Eivor making an offering. Upon further look, this small scene seems to be a part of [[Green Children of Anglia]].


{|border="1" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1" style="width:500px; text-align:center"
One of the things that the Iga warriors did was often hire themselves out as contractors to other entities would be they temples or be they other daimyo factions and whatever. So in the 1540s, we have reports of Igamono or men of Iga being hired to do things like espionage or sabotage of the enemy castles. [...] And they are capable militarily. Many of them are experienced hunters and trackers through the mountains. They have the kind of outdoor living skills we might attribute to military specialties of today like commandos or something like that. So while they weren't necessarily trying to take over control, they did also have a military presence outside of their province because they could be hired or requested to assist with campaigns elsewhere.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 06"/>
!Location
 
!Offering
Nobunaga invades. He outnumbers the Iga defenders about four or five to one. And the Iga defenders are spread across the province. They can't concentrate in one location. They end up being concentrated in two castles, one in the north Hijiyama Castle, and one in the south Kashiwara Castle. But it all ends with the surrender of Kashiwara Castle on October 8th. At that point, there's no more organized resistance to Nobunaga. Nobunaga himself visits Iga in early November to take a tour of his new province, and then withdraws it and gives it to his son Nobukatsu as part of his domain to administer.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 06"/>
|-
 
|[[Cedd's Stone]]
It is now a domain administered by one of Nobunaga's retainers. It would go on to be a domain held by a Daimyo underneath the Edo Period shogun of the Tokukawa.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 06"/>
|200x [[Silver]]
 
|-
===[[Nagasaki]]===
|[[Cerneley Altar]]
he discovered that Nagasaki had been raised up into this great port by the Jesuits who had effectively been given Nagasaki by a local warlord so the extraordinary influence that a foreign power preaching of foreign religion had in Kyushu I think upset Hideyoshi very much<ref name="Echoes Shadows 02">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 2: The Unification of Japan</ref>
|3x [[Hare]]'s Foot
 
|-
in the end anyway the Japanese will only deal when we're thinking about European powers with the Dutch and only at this little artificial island called Dejima just a few feet worth of wooden bridge off the coast of Nagasaki<ref name="Echoes Shadows 02"/>
|[[Dobby's Altar]]
 
|5x [[Fabric]]
Gaspar Vilela is one who stands out. He was a very keen propagator of the Christian faith, and he could convert some warlords to Christianity. One of them was Omura Sumitada, who eventually would give a port to the Jesuits, which was called Nagasaki.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 03">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 3: Portuguese Missionaries in Japan</ref>
|-
 
|[[Elisdon Altar]]
===[[Kyoto]]===
|10x [[Bullhead]] (small)
So Kyoto is the absolute heart of Japan, it's exactly in the middle. And geomantically, let's go to geomantics, it's a perfectly placed to be the capital city, which is what it was for a thousand years. It's got mountains behind it on three sides, it's got the sea in front, it's got two rivers running through, it fulfils all the necessary requirements of Feng Shui to be the perfect place for capital<ref name="Echoes Shadows 07">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 7: Kyoto: Japan's Imperial City</ref>
|-
 
|[[Mam Tor Stone]]
it was created as capital city. Emperor Kamu, who was the greatest emperor in Japanese history, he was the Charlemagne of Japan. And before his time, the capital had been in Nara, but it was kind of taken over by the Buddhist priests. [...] There were all sorts of scandals to do with these Buddhist clergy. And then he, Emperor Kamu, founded a capital in Nagoka, which is near Nara. And that one, there was an uprising, people got killed, there were ghosts, obviously not going to be any good as the capital. So he then set out on a supposed hunting trip with his geomancers to find the perfect place. People were not particularly concerned with practical considerations, they were concerned with where it would be auspicious. And so he settled on Kyoto as the place to be his capital. And he then had it built, and that was an enormous job to build it. And it was in 794 that he was an enormous entourage of his attendants and his army and everybody else arrived by Palanquin in Kyoto, in the Imperial Palace there.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 07"/>
|3x [[Titanium]]
 
|-
And there were many great Zen prelates who set themselves up in Kyoto. So if you go to Kyoto, it's absolutely full of Zen temples and other temples too, but I would say primarily Zen temples. The Zen priests had it linked with China and they were able to facilitate trade with China, to bring back ideas, bring back goods. So the Zen church became very wealthy as well as being very influential.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 07"/>
|[[Nymdesfelda]]
 
|10x Bullhead (small)
These two lords, I think it was the Hashimoto's and the Yamunas, have been itching to fight for a long time, and they fought for 10 years. It's said that they destroyed the whole of Kyoto. That's not quite true. They destroyed the upper class part of Kyoto. So 10 years of fighting included looting, arson, and all these other things. But this mainly happened. This was the temples. This was the palaces. That lot got destroyed. Meanwhile, the shogun who lived at that point was a guy called Yoshimasa, who was living during the end of the 15th century. And he retired. He was very interested in the arts, and he was not remotely interested in fighting. And he kept well out of this fighting. And he went off to the east of the city, and there he built a fabulous pavilion, the silver pavilion. And there he carried on having a life of leisure and art with his friends. While all this was going on in Kyoto, his pavilion was facing away from the city, so it didn't have to see it was burning. And it was facing towards the lovely mountains on the east. And he was, again, an amazing patron of the arts. And under him, ink painting flourished, pottery flourished, every possible art form. Oh, linked verse became very important. So the war came to an end.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 07"/>
|-
 
|[[Saint Leonard's Altar]]
The part of the city that had not burnt down was the part where the merchants and the artisans were, because they were poor chaps. And so nobody bothered with looting them, but they weren't that poor. So they were actually supplying and selling stuff to both sides in this war and getting richer. And the end of the Onin war, this is the Onin war, everything had sort of fallen apart, because Kyoto was in such a state of devastation.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 07"/>
|50x [[Leather]]
 
|-
So it didn't take as long as it would have taken to rebuild London, to rebuild Kyoto. It didn't take that long. So it could be rebuilt pretty quickly. And it happened again and again in the history of Kyoto, and also in the history of Edo, which was the city that later became Tokyo. Time and time again they were burnt down. So Kyoto was back on its feet quite quickly, but it was just known to be the capital. The name Kyoto means capital city.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 07"/>
|[[The Wroeken]]
 
|5x [[Brown Trout]] (small)
So in the Heian period, it was laid out on a grid. Like a chessboard with equal sized square areas. And then it had long boulevards going down the middle. It had small lanes going off to the sides. It had the Emperor's Palace up at the top with beautiful green roofs, red columns. Very spectacular. You could see the Emperor's Palace wherever you were.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 07"/>
|-
 
|[[Walhdenu Altar]]
Hideyoshi sort of basically laid out Kyoto as it is now. He cut those squares in half. So you have rectangular blocks rather than square blocks. He also built a wall around the outside of the city, which isn't there anymore, but he had that built. He also built these glorious palaces. So you would have very glorious palaces on the main boulevards, which again are still always in like a chess board laid out like a grid. And you'd also have glorious temples, probably not radically different in appearance from glorious palaces. And then you'd have the whole merchant's area, which would be tiny little lanes of small dark houses with bamboo blinds outside, very nice houses, which still exist. If you go to Kyoto, you can go down these little lanes. They're so thin that you have to walk down or you just go down on a bicycle or something. They're sort of dark wood houses, steep, steep stairs, several floors. I think they're called eel lanes because they're like eels. They're kind of long and thin like eels. And then you could see from the streets of Kyoto, you could see the mountains to the east, which is where Yoshimasa was looking when Kyoto was burning down behind him. You could see the mountains to the north. You could see the mountain to the northwest, which is always the unlucky direction, where there was a huge complex of temples on the top and still is. And you could also see Arashiyama to the west, which is where the Flying Dragon Temple was and lots of other beautiful temples and bamboo crows. So you always could see those all around.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 07"/>

Then you have down one side of the city is the River Kamo. And you've got the River Kamo dividing the city from the eastern mountains. And at the foot of the eastern mountain is an area of flat land, which became a big area of carnival. So if you wanted to have fun, you go there. So when you're having a respectable life and your wife and your family and everything else are there, you stay away from the mountains. But you could also cross the bridge to this area of carnival where there would be some more wrestling. There'd be jugglers, there'd be theater, and there would be ladies of pleasure, lots of ladies of pleasure.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 07"/>

And at various times, as you're within Hideyoshi's reign, a particular man whose name was Saburoemon Hara, he said to Hideyoshi, why don't I gather together these ladies of pleasure? Who are a little bit chaotic because it's good to have a bit of order. There's no issue with morality about this, it's to do with orderliness. So he gathered them into particular places which became pleasure quarters, which of course were number one, there was a wall around them, so you could keep an eye on what went on because there were bad guys that went there as well as good guys. Number two, you could tax them. And so these became very famous pleasure quarters. There's one in Kyoto [Shimabara, Kyoto], there's very famous one in Edo, which is now Tokyo.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 07"/>

So Kyoto somehow had a resurgence. It was also the center of the geisha, which is quite important, actually. It re-created itself as a center of traditional culture. So Tokyo is a big modern city. And as you know, Kyoto did not get bombed in World War II because it's such a center of traditional culture. It's got so much. And also it's not entirely, but it's largely a wooden city. And there was also a law was passed, which again, I think has been broken. But there are laws about the height of buildings you can build in Kyoto. You're not supposed to build very tall buildings. So it's mainly a low rise city.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 07"/>

And then in Kyoto, there is an Emperor and has been residing all the time. So the Kyoto people like residents will be more aware of what's happening around the courtiers and so on. [...] And then medieval Japan as well, this Kamakura headquarters of the samurai has been moved and taken by a different family. And the samurai headquarters became the Kyoto as well. So in Kyoto, the dual structure of this courtiers and Emperor's house and the Shogunate. So the Kyoto people will be really subject to what political moves are. But other people like say around outside of Kyoto, they will be happily living in their regions and then they will have those like farming going on and they will have rather stable time so they could enjoy.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 08">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 8: How To Fit In: Feudal Japan</ref>
 
===[[Nara]]===
And before his time, the capital had been in Nara, but it was kind of taken over by the Buddhist priests. [...] There were all sorts of scandals to do with these Buddhist clergy. And then he, Emperor Kanmu, founded a capital in Nagoka, which is near Nara.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 07">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 7: Kyoto: Japan's Imperial City</ref>
 
There were the different sects of Buddhism arrived in Japan at different times. And the first sect grew up in Nara, as I said, and caused trouble. And that stayed in Nara. The whole point was to leave those priests behind in Nara and move to Kyoto.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 07"/>
 
===[[Tokyo]]===
So it didn't take as long as it would have taken to rebuild London, to rebuild Kyoto. It didn't take that long. So it could be rebuilt pretty quickly. And it happened again and again in the history of Kyoto, and also in the history of Edo, which was the city that later became Tokyo. Time and time again they were burnt down. So Kyoto was back on its feet quite quickly, but it was just known to be the capital. The name Kyoto means capital city.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 07">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 7: Kyoto: Japan's Imperial City</ref>
 
And so they [Imperial side of Boshin War] marched up, they took Edo castle. And in 1868, the then emperor [Mutsuhito, Emperor Meiji] who was 14, I think, or 16, he was a teenager, marched or didn't march. He was carried by Palanquin, top with a Phoenix, up to Edo and into Edo castle, which became the imperial palace and Edo became Tokyo, which is the eastern capital. So therefore, Kyoto was no longer the capital at all. It was no longer the official capital.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 07"/>
 
==Timeline==
===[[Tenshō Iga War]] [1579-1581]===
We're at the end of the Sengoku period where Oda Nobunaga is in charge and extending his influence across the land. Specifically the conflict takes place with one invasion in 1579 and then another invasion in 1581.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 06">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 6: The Tensho Iga War</ref>
 
And what are the main factors that lead up to kind of open war with Iga? Like I said, there's that independence that isn't particularly endearing to Nobunaga. He wants everything under his control, but they're not really necessarily a threat militarily, per se, to him. So for most of the time that he's establishing his hegemony, he is concentrated elsewhere. Iga at this time is ruled by an independent league or ikki that did not recognize any daimyo's hegemony and even gone so far as to expel the military governor of the province that had been appointed by the Ashkaga.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 06"/>
 
Oda Nobukatsu, was in charge of the province next to it and was looking to kind of establish his own reputation, spread his wings a little bit. And so here we have Iga province next to him, a place where he can launch an invasion, take it over. It's small. How hard could it be, right? Be an easy victory. And it turns out not to be.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 06"/>
 
Nobukatsu, Nobunaga's second son, takes that [Iga's expulsion of their military governor] as an excuse of, oh, see, they're not observing the proper order of things. They're not part of the structure. So he decides of his own accord that he's going to expand his domain into Iga without permission from his father. Part of this is ego driven. He wants to prove to his father that he can operate on his own and so forth. So in 1578, he dispatches one of his generals, man by the name of Takigawa Kazumasu, to build a castle just across the Iga border that they're going to use as a staging point for a future invasion. Well, the warriors of Iga are alerted to this and realize what this means. So they decide to attack and destroy it, which they do in November of 1578. Takigawa is taken completely by surprise. The castle is burned. Takigawa and his small force is forced to retreat. Obviously, they cease work on the castle and retreat back to Issei after losing a second battle where they tried to retake the ground.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 06"/>
 
So the following year in October, he decides he's going to launch a much larger invasion. So he gathers around a little over 10,000 men and invades Iga Province through three of those passes that I mentioned. In his main body, he has 8,000 men going through the northernmost pass at Nagano. And then he has a group of 1,500 men through one pass and 1,300 through another pass, these two passes to the south. But again, the Iga forces, speaking to their ability to collect intelligence and know what the enemy is doing, are ready and waiting at these narrow sites to ambush Nobukatsu's forces, which they do. They use their skill in guerrilla tactics and their local knowledge of the terrain. They inflict heavy losses against Nobukatsu's forces, again forcing him to retreat in a humiliating defeat.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 06"/>
 
But in 1581, he comes back and we have the main invasion of the Tenshō Iga War. [...] The key moment of failure is when Nobunaga decides to get serious and invade Iga with more of a plan than his son had.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 06"/>
 
It was not a protracted war once Nobunaga decided to invade. Even Nobukatsu's invasion only lasted a day before he was turned back. The second larger invasion of 1581 lasts nine days. So unlike this, you know, protracted guerrilla war that we might have in our minds, it was really a quick invasion by Nobunaga quickly taking a couple of castles, receiving their submission and then everybody moves on with their lives.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 06"/>
 
To go into like the details, Nobunaga invades September 30th and it's a much larger scale different reports of the war, say he had somewhere between 40,000 or 60,000 troops. And the key that he really does is not only numbers, but it's the fact that he owns all the territory surrounding Iga. So he's able to send army forces that are equivalent largely to the size of the force that his son had, right, in 1579. But he can send that from six different sides. And this means that the Iga ikki cannot concentrate their forces to prevent any of these invasions coming in from any one pass. Whereas, you know, in 1579, they only defend three passes from one direction. Now it's six passes coming from all directions, including their neighbors to the north in Koka.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 06"/>
 
So had the assistance of the Koka specialists in guerrilla operations and warfare to advise and assist him. And this is probably where we get a lot of the imagery of this rivalry between Iga and Koka because Koka did assist Nobunaga in his invasion. He also allegedly had some Iga members who offered to him to help show him through the passes and give him that advantage.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 06"/>
 
Nobunaga invades. He outnumbers the Iga defenders about four or five to one. And the Iga defenders are spread across the province. They can't concentrate in one location. They end up being concentrated in two castles, one in the north Hijiyama Castle, and one in the south Kashiwara Castle. But it all ends with the surrender of Kashiwara Castle on October 8th. At that point, there's no more organized resistance to Nobunaga. Nobunaga himself visits Iga in early November to take a tour of his new province, and then withdraws it and gives it to his son Nobukatsu as part of his domain to administer.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 06"/>
 
===[[Honnō-ji incident]] [1582]===
By the time that he died in the 1580s as a result of treachery on the part of some of his own men, actually, he had controlled most of Japan's main island of Honshu and he was on the verge of going to its second biggest island, Kyushu, down south. He actually at that point looked unstoppable.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 01">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 1: Civil War in Feudal Japan: The Sengoku Period</ref>
 
he's just setting out in early part of 1582 for the next part of that campaign staying at a temple called Honnoji in Kyoto when he's attacked actually not by his enemies but by someone who is supposed to be on his side one of the famous treacherous figures I suppose in Japanese history man by the name of Akechi Mitsuhide who persuades his men to turn their guns on Oda Nobunaga and his own men and so you have these stories of Oda Nobunaga shouting out treachery or traitors or something like that trying to fight them off himself the temple ends up in flames and Oda Nobunaga retreats further into the temple and dies by his own hand.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 02">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 2: The Unification of Japan</ref>
 
so immediately he [Toyotomi Hideyoshi] rushes from where he's been fighting over to take care of the traitors and he brings the traitors head back to Kyoto to effectively lay at the feet of Oda Nobunaga's body to say here we are you know I've taken care of this for you and Hideyoshi really then becomes the inheritor I think of this project to try to unify Japan and his major next step one of the steps that Oda Nobunaga would have taken had he lived was to attack Kyushu<ref name="Echoes Shadows 02"/>
 
So Yasuke was there at Nobunaga's death. He possibly was the last person to see him alive. Nobunaga was killed in a coup d'etat, essentially. He was heading to the front with this small corps of men over which Yasuke was one, around 30 people. And one of his generals, basically, we still don't know to this day why, he brought his whole army of 13,000 and attacked. They were all gunned down, essentially. Nobunaga, with Yasuke and his lover, [Mori] Ranmaru, come into the middle of the temple where their last moments are held. The temple's on fire around them. And Nobunaga really is going to know what happened in that room because there's only three people and they all died, except for Yasuke. But we only know that Yasuke survived because the Jesuits recorded as such. We don't know what he saw, unfortunately. The normal legend goes Nobunaga cut his belly, Ranmarutook his head off as his second, and then one supposes that Ranmaru then cut his belly and Yasuke took off Ranmaru's head. And the supposed last order is Yasuke save my head. Yasuke runs with the head to Nobunaga's son, who is probably about five to ten minutes walk away, very close, in a different temple. So about to be attacked. Also just putting up the defenses for a last ditch stand. Of course, that doesn't last very long. He's dead within the hour or so. And all we know from the Jesuit source, there are no more Japanese sources, all we know from the Jesuit source is that Yasuke was there at the last. He was one of the few survivors. He was taken prisoner. He surrendered his sword. And he was then escorted to the Jesuit mission, which was again only five minutes walk away. This is a very small area of Kyoto where all this happens. The Jesuits give thanks to God for his deliverance.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 04">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 4: Yasuke: The First African Samurai</ref>
 
There's quite a lot of emphasis on how important this is. And this could be the masterstroke that basically secures Western Honshu for Nobunaga. So he's returned to Kyoto, and Nobunaga sends his retainer Akechi Mitsuhide with Akechi's army as the initial force to go reinforce Hideyoshi out west. And for reasons that are not quite clear, but of course, lead to lots of speculation and dramatic interpretation. Akechi decides that instead of turning west to go support Hideyoshi, he's going to turn his forces east, march into Kyoto, surround the residence of Nobunaga, which is the Honnō-ji Temple in central Kyoto. It's where he normally took up residence when he was in the city, and attack his own war.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 05">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 5: Oda Nobunaga</ref>
 
We don't really know why we don't really get any full explanation of Akechi's motives. There's lots of speculation that it had to do with resentment at court treatment by Nobunaga. One thing that we do know is that Akechi's mother had been killed by a rival clan where Akechi had given them his mother as a hostage, as insurance essentially against an attack. And Nobunaga superseded that and ordered the attack anyway. So they killed Akechi's mother. Other things are rumors that he was physically abusive and verbally abusive to Mitsuhide personally.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 05"/>
 
But for whatever reason, Akechi decides that this is his moment while Nobunaga is lightly guarded. He's certainly not expecting anybody to attack him in Kyoto. They surround Nobunaga's residence, set out on fire. Nobunaga and his guards fight back, but are eventually overwhelmed. Nobunaga commits suicide. And then his heir as well, who was also in Kyoto, is attacked by Akechi's forces and dies. So in one stroke, the Akechi have eliminated, basically decapitated the Oda family and thus ended Nobunaga's career.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 05"/>
 
He [Nobunaga] had a very dramatic and spectacular assassination by one of his own men. It's an amazing story, but that happened in Kyoto. He was in a temple where it was his land. He thought he was absolutely fine. He didn't have that many guards, and one of his own generals turned against him. So he was killed there.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 07">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 7: Kyoto: Japan's Imperial City</ref>
 
===[[Imjin War]] [1592-1598]===
Hideyoshi once he's taken Kyushu just a few years later launches invasions of Korea so he sends troops across including some of Christian warlords commanding them across to Korea wanting to use it almost as China's driveway if you think about the geography of it send these troops up through Korea take over the peninsula eventually invade and take over China and after that he also wanted to take over India as well<ref name="Echoes Shadows 02">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 2: The Unification of Japan</ref>
 
his Korean campaign goes badly wrong in the 1590s the Chinese finally put some men in the field and they push the Japanese troops all the way back down the Korean peninsula so it doesn't go anywhere except for poisoning relations with Korea for a very long time to come<ref name="Echoes Shadows 02"/>
 
And then Hideyoshi asked him [Gaspar Coelho], I want to invade Korea. Then you provide two Portuguese ships to help me in this invasion. And if I conquer Korea, I will make it that there are a lot of churches being built. So Koelyo said, yes, I will do that for you. And I will make sure that we have two Portuguese ships, the Karak ships, as they were called by the English, gigantic ships. So Hideyoshi could very well use them for his invasion in Korea. And then he went a step further and he said, I will make sure that the Christian warlords in Kyushu will also support you. And I think at that moment that Hideyoshi, that there was a ring bell in his head, that the Christians, the Jesuits had too much influence in Japan.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 03">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 3: Portuguese Missionaries in Japan</ref>
 
===[[Battle of Sekigahara]] [1600]===
great battles in Japanese history the battle of Sekigahara which happens in 1600 so you've got a couple of nervous years or a bit less than that after the death of Hideyoshi this council in place but people are wondering really whether it will stick and what happens instead I think is you get the buildup of two sides that take the form in the end of an eastern and a western army and Tokugawa Ieyasu was at the head of the eastern army and in the autumn of Sekigahara he wins out and really everything goes to him and shortly afterwards he has himself appointed shogun<ref name="Echoes Shadows 02">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 2: The Unification of Japan</ref>
 
he does this enormous reshuffling of territory in Japan I think it's the biggest reshuffling of territory in terms of who controls what in Japan's history so lots of the people who are on the losing side at the battle of Sekigahara either lose everything or their territory is drastically cut down or they're shipped off to another part of the country entirely perhaps all these things that are designed to damage their power<ref name="Echoes Shadows 02"/>
 
===[[Siege of Osaka]] [1614-1615]===
Hideyori is still around and that really isn't taken care of until a very famous incident 1614 to 15 which is the siege of Osaka it's one of these events in Japanese history which is told and retold on the stage in books in films in art even where the forces of the Tokugawa and their allies gather around Osaka castle trying to do some kind of deal trying to force Hideyori and those around him to give up but in the end the siege turns bloody the castle is on fire and we have these famous scenes of Hideyori and his mother huddled together as everyone around them is burning up and dying so the siege of Osaka<ref name="Echoes Shadows 02">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 2: The Unification of Japan</ref>
 
===[[Boshin War]] [1868-1869]===
But towards the end [of the Tokugawa Shogunate], things were probably not as great as they might have been. Added to which the Tokugawas had ancient enemies and they had defeated them in the battle of Sekigahara. And those enemies were from the southwest, from the Kyushu area. From the sort of southwestern part of Honshu. And they wanted their revenge and they rose up. And with the help of the British, and they actually toppled the last of the Tokugawa Shoguns, who abdicated. And at that point, the southwestern lords took over. So they once again didn't have legitimacy, but they once again immediately said, oh, we represent the emperor. And that gave them legitimacy. But they decided in that 250 years, the Tokugawa's capital was not Kyoto. The official capital was Kyoto, but the Tokugawa city was Edo. So the center of policy, the center of government, the center of culture, more and more gravitated towards Edo. And so these southwestern lords decided that they would make the capital, not Kyoto, but Edo. And so they marched up, they took Edo castle. And in 1868, the then emperor [Mutsuhito, Emperor Meiji] who was 14, I think, or 16, he was a teenager, marched or didn't march. He was carried by Palanquin, top with a Phoenix, up to Edo and into Edo castle, which became the imperial palace and Edo became Tokyo, which is the eastern capital. So therefore, Kyoto was no longer the capital at all. It was no longer the official capital.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 07">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 7: Kyoto: Japan's Imperial City</ref>
 
==Groups==
===[[Jesuits]]===
And at the same time you had the Society of Jesus which started in 1540 and soon after the Papal Bull was ordained. Francis Xavier was a Jesuit and one of the founding members of the Jesuits. He was asked to travel to Asia to begin doing missionary work there. He was asked especially by King John III of Portugal because he was very keen on trying to get as many Asians adhering to the Christian religion.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 03">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 3: Portuguese Missionaries in Japan</ref>
 
So he had a lot of expectations for Japan and in 1549 he finally set foot on Japan. So that was really the first time that the Jesuits arrived in Japan only six or seven years after the first Portuguese came there.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 03">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 3: Portuguese Missionaries in Japan</ref>
 
You have, for example, Ōtomo Yoshishige, who became a Christian after a long time. But he was very well disposed against the Jesuits. You have other people like Takayama Ukon, who became a very fervent Christian and all his samurai also. So they were very fond of them, and they listened to the Jesuits. They asked them a lot about politics, how they could manage this or that issue. So the Jesuits got a lot of influence with some warlords and also with a lot of the peasants and the lower ranked people. So they really had some success, success that they didn't experience in other countries.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 03"/>
 
Xavier left in 1551, but soon there came more and more Jesuits.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 03"/>
 
And that information [Fróis' letters] was used by the Jesuits in Europe for propaganda. So they published, after some censorship, Luís Fróis' and Vilela's and other letters, in Italy. And they were also translated in several languages like Latin, German, French, and so on, for the Catholic Reformation in Europe. They would say, see what we can do in Asia, and especially in Japan. We probably have lost England, but we have gained another island in the form of Japan. So they did a lot of propaganda, which gave them additional financial resources and many European Jesuits who wanted to join the efforts in Japan, which was good for them for a time, but could work as a double-edged sword.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 03"/>
 
And they also had a problem that after a while you have [Francisco] Cabral, you have [Gaspar] Coelho, so two Jesuits who became the head of the Japan sector. And they weren't very keen to adopt Japanese customs. They wanted to be as strictly Jesuits as in Europe. So they already have a problem from the Jesuit side and many like Vilela or Fróis were more inclined to adopt Japanese customs. But the heads of the provincials, as they call them, were against that.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 03"/>
 
And when he had conquered Kyushu, he again met with Coelho on a Portuguese ship. And Coelho again said that we will support you in whatever endeavor you will take. But the night suddenly he sent a questionary to Coelho, asking him why they came to Japan, why they are making so much converts. And why are they destroying the Buddhist temples? Of course Coelho was really shocked with that. He was so well treated and suddenly everything changed overnight. So he gave his answer that, well, they came to Japan just to propagate their faith, in good faith. And that it was not them who destroyed the Buddhist temples, but the Japanese converts. So the answer of Hideyoshi was that he made a decree that the Jesuits had to leave Japan in 20 days. But he didn't enforce the order very strictly. And that was the same reason why the other warlords welcomed the Jesuits, because he didn't want disrupt the trade with the Portuguese. So he promulgated that decree. But afterwards, the Jesuits stayed in Japan and still continued their missionary work there.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 03"/>
 
Tokugawa Ieyasu, he forbade Christianity totally. And all influence of the Jesuits was razed very systematically from then on.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 03"/>
 
Jesuits can't carry swords or weapons, but they can employ people that do. And the Jesuits were a perfect employee in that sense, a bodyguard.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 04">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 4: Yasuke: The First African Samurai</ref>
 
===[[Portuguese Empire]]===
When does that contact begin? Well, that begins in the middle of the 16th century, in 1549 to be correct. The Portuguese, they travelled to the east from the 15th century on and in 1498 I think they established a sea route to India and they went even further and in the beginning of the 16th century they already were in Malacca but then it still took some time for them to reach Japan. It was in 1542 or 43, it's still being disputed, that the first Portuguese merchants reached Japan.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 03">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 3: Portuguese Missionaries in Japan</ref>
 
Francis Xavier was a Jesuit and one of the founding members of the Jesuits. He was asked to travel to Asia to begin doing missionary work there. He was asked especially by King John III of Portugal because he was very keen on trying to get as many Asians adhering to the Christian religion. Xavier had quite a correspondence with King John about all what he did in Asia and it wasn't what he expected.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 03">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 3: Portuguese Missionaries in Japan</ref>
 
==Three Great Unifiers==
===[[Oda Nobunaga]]===
But he's from the small province of Owari. But he's a really good example of someone who was able to use a combination of smart tactics, smart use of weaponry, judicious use of alliances to gradually expand beyond that province. So he takes another province for himself right early on. This is the middle of the 1500s. Then he makes some alliances. By 1568, after really only a few short years, and he's still relatively speaking a young man, he's able to do what most daimyo ultimately wanted to do, which is to mount a successful march on Kyoto and have the emperor under his BDI and also have the shogun under his control.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 01">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 1: Civil War in Feudal Japan: The Sengoku Period</ref>
 
One of the stories told about him when he was a young man, just after his father left, all the Buddhist priests who had been tending to his father, praying for him, looking after him before he died, legend has it anyway that Oda Nobunaga had them all locked inside a single building and then shot to death for what they did, i.e. failing to keep his father alive. He also had a reputation as a teenager for being just quite strange, swaggering around town, eating nuts, letting them fall out of his mouth. He had sort of disheveled hair. At his father's funeral he's said to have picked up a fistful of incense and just thrown it and walked out. So quite a strange character, probably an unpromising character early on, but he was given this motto of rule the realm by force and I think that carried him through. He had a strong sense that he was always going to do this, that he was always going to succeed and I think there's a combination of deep self-belief and ruthlessness and I suppose a degree of luck as well that really seems to carry him forward. By the time that he died in the 1580s as a result of treachery on the part of some of his own men, actually, he had controlled most of Japan's main island of Honshu and he was on the verge of going to its second biggest island, Kyushu, down south. He actually at that point looked unstoppable.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 01"/>
 
So in terms of Oda Nobunaga, not an especially promising background I think. If you think about the era into which he's born, there are roughly 120 of these states. Some of them at war with others, some of them in alliance etc. But his state or province or what he is just one of those and quite a small one at that. Plus I think it's 1551, his father dies when Oda Nobunaga is still quite young, still a teenager and he inherits control of this state and the people around him don't see him as an especially serious figure and especially compromising figure. You can imagine some of the senior vassals a little bit older than him thinking goodness me I don't know what's going to happen to our little province with this person in charge. He was I think just seen as being slightly mad, a bit of an idiot not really able to take life terribly seriously and yet within a few short years he proves himself to be this master strategist who becomes by the mid 1560s really the main player in Japan out of all these warlords.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 02">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 2: The Unification of Japan</ref>
 
What he succeeds in doing is very early on gaining control of a neighboring province and then he makes a very fortuitous alliance with the man who becomes Tokugawa Ieyasu. He doesn't yet have that name at this point in the 1550s but that's a great alliance. It allows Oda Nobunaga not to have to worry too much about the territory to one side of his own province and so he can look elsewhere for his focus but I think other things that seem to go in his favor include a real talent for strategy, choosing the right moment to attack, I think an extraordinary ruthlessness to him as well.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 02"/>
 
So I think by the time he dies in 1582 he has control of large parts of Japan's main island the long thin island of Honshu contains places like Tokyo as it's now called Kyoto of course Osaka for centuries really the central part of that central island really across from Osaka and Kyoto up to what we now call Tokyo has been considered as it were the business end of Japan that's where a lot of the power plays go on the culture is developed the economy is at its strongest and Oda Nobunaga has control of most of that certainly between himself and his allies in any case and he's thinking about moving into two other of Japan's main islands Kyushu which is towards the southwest and also the smaller island of Shikoku so he's got lots of plans he's still a relatively young man he's in an extraordinarily powerful position and he's just setting out in early part of 1582 for the next part of that campaign staying at a temple called Honnoji in Kyoto when he's attacked actually not by his enemies but by someone who is supposed to be on his side one of the famous treacherous figures I suppose in Japanese history man by the name of Akechi Mitsuhide who persuades his men to turn their guns on Oda Nobunaga and his own men and so you have these stories of Oda Nobunaga shouting out treachery or traitors or something like that trying to fight them off himself the temple ends up in flames and Oda Nobunaga retreats further into the temple and dies by his own hand.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 02"/>
 
So you had, for example, Oda Nobunaga, which showed great familiarity to the Christians, to for example, Fróis, who he invited in Kyoto in Gifu Castle and showed him around in the castle. So it was very positively inclined towards the Christians, but still he never adopted the Christian faith himself.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 03">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 3: Portuguese Missionaries in Japan</ref>
 
Another one, when getting to Miyako, which is now Kyoto, a huge mob literally surrounded the mission and almost pushed the mission down, throwing stones. There were dead people in the crowd outside. And at that point, Nobunaga, who was the most powerful warlord in Japan at the time, was five minutes walk away. He heard this huge hullaballo, which he liked. He heard what was going on. And he demanded to see who was disturbing the peace, demanded that this person be brought before him.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 04">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 4: Yasuke: The First African Samurai</ref>
 
So Yasuke was there at Nobunaga's death. He possibly was the last person to see him alive. Nobunaga was killed in a coup d'etat, essentially. He was heading to the front with this small corps of men over which Yasuke was one, around 30 people. And one of his generals, basically, we still don't know to this day why, he brought his whole army of 13,000 and attacked. They were all gunned down, essentially. Nobunaga, with Yasuke and his lover, [Mori] Ranmaru, come into the middle of the temple where their last moments are held. The temple's on fire around them. And Nobunaga really is going to know what happened in that room because there's only three people and they all died, except for Yasuke. But we only know that Yasuke survived because the Jesuits recorded as such. We don't know what he saw, unfortunately. The normal legend goes Nobunaga cut his belly, Ranmaru took his head off as his second, and then one supposes that Ranmaru then cut his belly and Yasuke took off Ranmaru's head.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 04"/>
 
when Nobunaga is born in 1534, the Oda family effectively had control of Owari province at this point. Though the family itself was fractured and Nobunaga's branch was interestingly not the primary lineage.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 05">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 5: Oda Nobunaga</ref>
 
the Oda family, as I said, they were the deputy governors underneath the Shiba family in Owari, and he's born as the first legitimate son of a man named Oda Nobuhide, who is the defacto leader of the Oda family. Like I mentioned, his line was not the senior line, but Nobuhide was particularly capable and competent and brought his relatives under his control and for the most part dominated the governance of Owari province. But he was in constant conflict with his neighbors, particularly the powerful Imagawa Yoshimoto to his east and a daimyo named Saitō Dōsan to his north in Mino province.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 05"/>
 
So Nobunaga's youth would have been one where his family was in constant conflict, both internally and externally. He was designated Nobuhide's heir rather early on, and given the education that you would expect of an heir, he was given four of Nobuhide's high-ranking subordinates as his tutors, so to speak, kind of to raise him up and teach him the ways that he would need to rule both military and politically. But it's often said he was a bit of a wild child who preferred running around with his friends rather than studying, out hunting, and raising all kinds of ruckus. Allegedly he wore outlandish outfits like a tiger skin cloak, and generally he didn't really act the part of an up-and-coming warlord. You'll often hear that he was called the Fool of Owari.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 05"/>
 
But in 1549, he marries the daughter of Saito Dosan, who is located to Owari's north in Mino province, as part of a peace agreement between Dosan and Nobuhide.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 05"/>
 
So Nobuhide dies in 1551. And despite Nobunaga being his heir, there's some contention based on his pattern of erratic behavior. One of the famous events that is often brought up is at Nobuhide's funeral. Nobunaga shows up allegedly very unkempt, not in the proper formal funeral attire, and acts very disrespectfully, throwing incense at the altar instead of performing the proper respectful rituals.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 05"/>
 
And based off of this, we are told that some of his father's vassals form a faction around his younger brother while other branches of the family. So this is an opportunity for them to seize control, push this loser who's not ready for the job out of the way. Other vassals defect to the Imagawa or plot with the Saito. So his position upon his father's death is actually very precarious.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 05"/>
 
But in 1553, one of his senior retainers, one of these four men who was designated as his tutors and mentors, a man by the name of Hirata Masahide, commits suicide. [...] We have Hirata committing this form of protest suicide. And it serves as a way to wake up young Nobunaga to his rather outlandish behavior and how it's being detrimental to both, you know, his own well-being and the well-being of the Oda family.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 05"/>
 
he does begin to more seriously concentrate on consolidating his control over Owari and the Oda family.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 05"/>
 
So his first fight is to simply gain control of his own family, you know, largely inside of Owati province. There's some pressure from external enemies that Imagawa to the east. But initially from 1552 to 1554, he's contending with iterations of rebellion from his uncle, Nobutomo, who inspired to assassinate him and worked with, you know, other entities to try to make that happen. Nobunaga catches him and forgives him once. But you know, second time he continues to plot. Nobunaga captures him and has him put to death.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 05"/>
 
In 1556, again, out of fears that Nobunaga is just not up to the task. Several of his major retainers side with his younger brother Nobuyuki, but Nobunaga, you know, warned of potential treachery at one point, feigns an illness instead of going to go meet his brother. So his brother comes to meet him. And when he does, Nobunaga has him and his entourage assassinated.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 05"/>
 
So the 1550s is really the story of Nobunaga's consolidation of his power within the Oda family, establishing himself as the leader of the family. And by default, almost the ruler of the Oda province. In 1559, his final obstacle is the castle of Iwakura and his cousin Nobuyasu, who belongs to the senior branch of the Oda line. But he manages to take Iwakura castle and eliminate Nobuyasu. And this ends the internal threats now.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 05"/>
 
In 1560, the powerful daimyo Imagawa Yoshimoto to his east, enrolled [????] Toutomi, Suroga, and the Kawa provinces, and came from the illustrious Imagawa line, which was one of the pillars of the former Ashikaga shogunate. He decides, or it's usually assumed at least that he decides that he's going to make a run at marching on the capital of Kyoto to take charge of the central government. So he gathers together an army of 25,000 troops and begins his march east. And the first stop is, of course, his neighbor in Owari province, Nobunaga. So he has to go through Nobunaga's domain. On paper, this is going to be very easy. He's got 25,000 troops, which at the time was a very large army. And Nobunaga only has a few thousand men, maybe 2,500. So we're looking at roughly around a 10 to 1 disadvantage. But Nobunaga, despite the fact that his advisors all counsel him to withdraw into his castle at Kyosu and withstand a siege, he decides that that's a losing strategy. Because what's he going to do against an attack by an army that size? He decides that his best course of action is to try to seek an opening and attack.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 05"/>
 
But the Imagawa forces by midday had made significant progress against the Odo forces invading. So the Imagawa army was much larger. It was rather spread out and divided. The vanguard had taken several of these forts that Nobunaga had. Yoshimori himself was with only a few thousand troops. And at his command post, they took a bit of a siesta, almost, if you will, in this small narrow gorge called Dengaku Hazama. And they were celebrating some of the Imagawa troops had already broken into the celebration sake in anticipation of their great victory that they saw coming because, you know, how could you see anything else? A little bit after this, there's a rainstorm. This was in the summer. So the rainy season in Japan. This thunderstorm breaks out and it really helps Nobunaga maneuver his forces through the mountains, through these narrow passes into position to attack Imagawa Yoshimoto's headquarters camp. They broke out of the tree line to attack the camp. And at first Yoshimoto assumes that it's a drunken brawl taking place amongst his men. Too late, he realizes that it's not that he's actually under attack. And shortly after that, two of the Otis samurai relieve him up his head. In the aftermath, the Imagawa forces deprived of their commander melt away in confusion. And we have this almost legendary victory by other Nobunaga outmanned ten to one, destroying the forces of this great daimyo.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 05"/>
 
So it kind of makes a name for Nobunaga. Another key thing about this battle, though, and the aftermath is that in the confusion of the Imagawa family with the loss of their head, several of their more talented and younger retainers, one of which we know today as Tokugawa Ieyasu, are able to claim independence. And Ieyasu establishes himself in his home territory of Mikawa, which is just to the east of Owari, and establishes an alliance with Nobunaga, thus providing a secure flank to Nobunaga's east, allowing Nobunaga to then look in other directions as he begins to expand.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 05"/>
 
So Nobunaga, his next target is this province to his north, Mino Province, which is much larger in size than Owari, and it's somewhat kind of the nexus of road networks in central Japan, where two of the major roads from Chiyoto into the capital in central Japan to the east runs through it. So it's a pretty strategic province to have. So he goes to war against Saitou Dousan and it takes a while, but through diplomacy and bribery of the Saitou generals, he's able to convince many of them to join his side. And by 1567, he's weakened them enough to besiege and take the main castle at Inabayama, which he then renames Gifu.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 05"/>
 
So then he works to consolidate his position by doing some preliminary campaigns into neighboring Issei province and establishing diplomatic relations. So he marries his younger sister, Oichi, to a warlord named Azai Nagamasa who rules northern Omi province. And this is significant because Omi is the province that lies between Mino and Owari, which he owns, and the capital of Kyoto. So he's in essence securing a line of, you know, advance for future endeavors.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 05"/>
 
The previous shogun, Ashikaga Yoshitero, had been assassinated in 1565 and replaced by a puppet. So Yoshitero's younger brother, a man by the name of Ashikaga Yoshiaki, had been traveling around the provinces trying to seek a benefactor who would back his claim and help him march on the capital. So shortly after Nobunaga establishes himself in Gifu, Yoshiaki arrives on his doorstep in 1568, thus giving him a pretext to make his move on the capital.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 05"/>
 
The fact that he can take a legitimate claimant to the Ashikaga shogunate and march on Kyoto with utter the pretext of putting him into power gives him the legitimate of his siege to do so. So November of 1568, he enters Kyoto with his army and installs Yoshiaki as the 15th Ashikaga shogun. However, here's where things start to differ from what you might have expected at the time, because rather than accept Yoshiaki's offer to be his deputy shogun, Nobunaga declines that in any other position that Yoshiaki offers.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 05"/>
 
In 1570, Nobunaga sends an invitation, sensibly on Yoshiaki's behalf, to local warlords for a reception in Kyoto. And this is almost a way to test who was going to accept his authority and who wasn't. And the daimyo of Ichizen province, Asakura Yoshikage, refuses the summons. So Nobunaga launches a campaign to besiege the Asakura's main castle. But unfortunately for Nobunaga, the Azai, his brother-in-law's family, his brother-in-law being Azai Nagamasa, had a multi-generational alliance relationship with the Asakura. So Nagamasa feels obligated to go to the Asakura's aid, and he launches an attack on Nobunaga's army's rear, forcing Nobunaga to break off the siege and retreat while a rear guard held off the Asai and the Asakura forces. So Nobunaga feels personally betrayed by this man who was a relative by marriage. And the Asai and Asakura are one of the initial threats that he faces.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 05"/>
 
The two sides meet in July of 1570 at the Battle of Anegawa, where Nobunaga was joined by his ally Tokugawa Ieyasu. And they fight this battle in the shallow Anagawa River, both sides plunging into the water to engage the enemy. So if you picture this dramatic battle in this shallow river, Tokugawa, on Nobunaga's right flank, managed to route the Asakura and then crash into the flank of the Asai while at the same time Nobunaga sent his reserves around the other flank. And it causes the collapse of the enemy to create victory.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 05"/>
 
But the surviving members of the Asakura and the Asai forces find refuge on Mount Hiei, which is a mountain just to the northeast of the capital. And it's the site of the Enuryakuji Temple, which is the headquarters of the Tendai Sept of Buddhism and a military power in its own right. what that matters is that, you know, this was a Buddhist temple that had essentially an army of its own. And so this prevents Nobunaga from cutting off the Asai and the Asakura forces and completely destroying them. And he has to back off,<ref name="Echoes Shadows 05"/>
 
Another group that around this time rises up to challenge his authority and one that will probably his longest running enemy is what's known as the Ikkō-ikki or the Ikko League. This was a confederation of followers of the true Pure Land Sept of Buddhism. And its headquarters was the Ishiyama Hongan-ji, which was located in what is now present day Osaka. But it had groups of adherents called these Ikki or leagues scattered throughout the provinces of central Japan. And in 1570, Nobunaga starts a war with them because the self-defense groups, these Ikki and the Ishiyama Hongan-ji itself resisted political and military control by local warrior rule. In fact, in 1486, the Ikko Ikki of Kaga Province overthrew the local dainyo and ruled the province without any samurai rule for almost 100 years.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 05"/>
 
For 10 years until 1580, he's in this constant on and off war with the Ishiyama Hongan-ji and their ikko followers in various locations throughout the provinces. And they're really the linchpin of the various coalitions that are opposing Nobunaga. You know, at this point, these are kind of like the main enemies that he's looking at.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 05"/>
 
But in 1571, he realizes that the only way to solve his problem of encirclement is to break kind of the circle. So he starts with Mount Hiei, the Enuryakuchi temple complex that had given refuge to his enemies. And in the fall, he brings them out and has his troops advance up deliberately. And according to eyewitness accounts from the time that are written down, his troops are killing anything that's alive, whether it be monks, laymen, women, children, reportedly even every animal that's on the mountain. And they burn almost every building of this massive temple complex.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 05"/>
 
Early assessments of their relationship by historians assume that Nobunaga's plan all along was to use him as a puppet and then throw him away and take power for himself. I agree with more recent biographers, you see it as a little bit more complicated than that. Ashikaga Yoshiaki, obviously, as the Shogun, felt that he should be in charge. So after being installed in 1568, he attempts to rule, but he quickly sees that he cannot do anything without Nobunaga's help. And by 1572, there's some real tension between the two of who's in charge. Nobunaga issued several admonishments, which have been published and are famous, going so far as to note how the people call Yoshiaki the evil Shogun, in scare quotes there, and laying out rules for the Shogun's house to follow. Of course, Yoshiaki takes offense at this and who are you to tell me the Shogun how to run things? And so, like I said, early on, historians looked at this as Nobunaga's overstipping his bow, just trying to push Yoshiaki out.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 05"/>
 
I see a different reading of it that is more compelling to me is that, no, he really saw that this was like the structure that should be in place and was trying to guide Yoshiaki back onto an actual correct path of governance, at least as Nobunaga saw it. And his efforts to maintain relations with Yoshiaki, at least initially, were very sincere. But Yoshiaki is the one who kind of pushes the relationship to the breaking point. And the early 1570s, he's orchestrating coalitions of enemies to move against Nobunaga. In addition to the Iko Iki, he's kind of another lynchpin of the different coalitions against Nobunaga, trying to convince different daimyo to turn against Nobunaga, invade, come rescue me in Kyoto and be my savior and I'll grant you XYZ, so forth.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 05"/>
 
This continues until 1573, when it's very obvious that Nobunaga has run out of patience. In 1573, he does march on Kyoto and expel Yoshiaki, which more or less ends the Ashikaga shogunate for good. And then Ashikaga would escape to Western Japan, where he would take up residence in the lands of one of Nobunaga's enemies, the Mori family. And from there, he would continue to write different daimyo, constantly trying to create a coalition that could overthrow Nobunaga and reinstall him in power. How effective that was? Well, we see that it didn't happen, but he certainly was doing his best the entire time to undermine Nobunaga.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 05"/>
 
The Takeda family is finally destroyed in 1582. And one of the few remaining enemies in the main island of Japan that he is concerned about is this family called the Mori family. And he's had one of his generals man by the name of Hashida Hideyoshi, who we would later know as Toyotomi Hideyoshi. One of his generals is leading the campaign against them. And having just completed the campaign in the east against the Takeda, he is given notice by Hideyoshi that a siege of a castle is almost complete. But he's worried that Mori reinforcements are going to come. So please send additional reinforcements to me in order to defeat the Mori.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 05"/>
 
There's quite a lot of emphasis on how important this is. And this could be the masterstroke that basically secures Western Honshu for Nobunaga. So he's returned to Kyoto, and Nobunaga sends his retainer Akechi Mitsuhide with Akechi's army as the initial force to go reinforce Hideyoshi out west. And for reasons that are not quite clear, but of course, lead to lots of speculation and dramatic interpretation. Akechi decides that instead of turning west to go support Hideyoshi, he's going to turn his forces east, march into Kyoto, surround the residence of Nobunaga, which is the Honnō-ji Temple in central Kyoto. It's where he normally took up residence when he was in the city, and attack his own war.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 05"/>
 
We don't really know why we don't really get any full explanation of Akechi's motives. There's lots of speculation that it had to do with resentment at court treatment by Nobunaga. One thing that we do know is that Akechi's mother had been killed by a rival clan where Akechi had given them his mother as a hostage, as insurance essentially against an attack. And Nobunaga superseded that and ordered the attack anyway. So they killed Akechi's mother. Other things are rumors that he was physically abusive and verbally abusive to Mitsuhide personally.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 05"/>
 
But for whatever reason, Akechi decides that this is his moment while Nobunaga is lightly guarded. He's certainly not expecting anybody to attack him in Kyoto. They surround Nobunaga's residence, set out on fire. Nobunaga and his guards fight back, but are eventually overwhelmed. Nobunaga commits suicide. And then his heir as well, who was also in Kyoto, is attacked by Akechi's forces and dies. So in one stroke, the Akechi have eliminated, basically decapitated the Oda family and thus ended Nobunaga's career.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 05"/>
 
So one of the things that he institutes in large scale, though not systematic scale, is land surveys, sending out his administrators to take surveys of the arable land and their rice production yield. What this does is it establishes tax registers, it establishes known income values, and it enables Nobunaga to award rights to the land to his subordinates. And in some ways, assign them or move them based off of income levels, the pieces of land are very modular, and he can move his retainers around underneath him. Toyotomi Hideyoshi after him, who turns it into a systematic evaluation of the entire Japanese realm.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 05"/>
 
Nobunaga is furious. He couldn't believe that his son had put himself in position to be defeated and humiliated like this. So he supposedly threatens to disown Nobukatsu. He doesn't end up following through on it, but he's not pleased.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 06">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 6: The Tensho Iga War</ref>
 
Nobunaga invades. He outnumbers the Iga defenders about four or five to one. And the Iga defenders are spread across the province. They can't concentrate in one location. They end up being concentrated in two castles, one in the north Hijiyama Castle, and one in the south Kashiwara Castle. But it all ends with the surrender of Kashiwara Castle on October 8th. At that point, there's no more organized resistance to Nobunaga. Nobunaga himself visits Iga in early November to take a tour of his new province, and then withdraws it and gives it to his son Nobukatsu as part of his domain to administer.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 06"/>
 
So one of their descendants, Yoshiyaki, was around and he was a pretty hopeless guy. But he was officially the Shogun. So Nobunaga's excuse for entering Kyoto was to reinstate him as Shogun. But actually, he, like a lot of these guys, is this Yoshiyaki. The Shogun was very treacherous. We wanted to get rid of Nobunaga, and he instigated a plot against him. So Nobunaga had him arrested and taken off to a castle in the middle of nowhere and left there forever. So that was the end of him.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 07">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 7: Kyoto: Japan's Imperial City</ref>
 
So the Emperor [Michihito, Emperor Ōgimachi] was still rather broke. The Emperor throughout centuries was very often very poor, and very often just basically getting pocket money from whoever is in power, but still had respect and was still officially descended from the Sun Goddess, the most respected person in the entire land. So Nobunaga then gave the Emperor lots of money and furnished the Imperial Palace made it good. So he gave himself legitimacy as a ruler by helping out the Emperor.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 07"/>
 
He [Nobunaga] had a very dramatic and spectacular assassination by one of his own men. It's an amazing story, but that happened in Kyoto. He was in a temple where it was his land. He thought he was absolutely fine. He didn't have that many guards, and one of his own generals turned against him. So he was killed there.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 07"/>
 
===[[Toyotomi Hideyoshi]]===
so Hideyoshi Toyotomi was one of those [ashigaru] now and again he carried the sandals of Oda Nobunaga Oda Nobunaga used to refer to him affectionately as that bald rat Hideyoshi's famously sort of short on a bit of hair but nevertheless he rises through the ranks to be a senior and trusted man under Oda Nobunaga so immediately he rushes from where he's been fighting over to take care of the traitors and he brings the traitors head back to Kyoto to effectively lay at the feet of Oda Nobunaga's body to say here we are you know I've taken care of this for you and Hideyoshi really then becomes the inheritor I think of this project to try to unify Japan and his major next step one of the steps that Oda Nobunaga would have taken had he lived was to attack Kyushu<ref name="Echoes Shadows 02">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 2: The Unification of Japan</ref>
 
yet for Hideyoshi Kyushu is a part of Japan that he simply must have so he sends around a quarter of a million men over to Kyushu to take it for himself which he manages to do in fairly short order in 1586 and 7<ref name="Echoes Shadows 02"/>
 
Hideyoshi for his part had a powerful dislike of Christians so the island of Kyushu in this period was probably the part of Japan where Christian missionaries Portuguese and Spanish mainly the Jesuits but also others as well had since the 1550s been making quite a large number of converts so some of the warlords the daimyo in Kyushu were actually Christians who had a mixture of Portuguese and Spanish and Japanese names and Hideyoshi was astounded to find when he got to Kyushu but he found some Christian missionaries offering him to kind of broker deals with warlords help him take over the island these people as far as Hideyoshi were concerned were foreigners preaching of foreign faith he discovered that Nagasaki had been raised up into this great port by the Jesuits who had effectively been given Nagasaki by a local warlord so the extraordinary influence that a foreign power preaching of foreign religion had in Kyushu I think upset Hideyoshi very much<ref name="Echoes Shadows 02"/>
 
Hideyoshi once he's taken Kyushu just a few years later launches invasions of Korea so he sends troops across including some of Christian warlords commanding them across to Korea wanting to use it almost as China's driveway if you think about the geography of it send these troops up through Korea take over the peninsula eventually invade and take over China and after that he also wanted to take over India as well<ref name="Echoes Shadows 02"/>
 
although Hideyoshi has done very well by 1590 as I say he pretty much has most parts of Japan wrapped up under his control and he's starting to think about internal administration he introduces measures for example to disarm the peasantry so if you want to end this period of all against all warfare he wants to return to a position where most people cannot bear arms and it's very clear who can and who aren't and where you sit in these various samurai hierarchies so he does all these bits of internal administration too I suppose another thing he starts to do is to launch these surveys of the land something that Oda Nobunaga had started to an extent but Hideyoshi really goes for it to get a sense of who going forward owns what in Japan what kind of tax you ought to pay so the things that you know maybe strike some fans of history as a bit dull but nevertheless a sign I think of a new order starting to entrench itself so he does all that but his Korean campaign goes badly wrong in the 1590s the Chinese finally put some men in the field and they push the Japanese troops all the way back down the Korean peninsula so it doesn't go anywhere except for poisoning relations with Korea for a very long time to come and then in 1598 Hideyoshi dies and the one thing he doesn't manage to do and I suppose fans of history from Europe and elsewhere there's similar things happen here one thing you want to do if you're a newly established ruler is make sure that the succession is in place...<ref name="Echoes Shadows 02"/>
 
And you had Otomo, which was a very powerful clan in the east of Kyushu. And then you had in the southwest, you had the Shimazu. And Otomo was losing against the Shimazu. So he asked Hideyoshi to intervene. And sometime before Hideyoshi marched towards Kyushu, he met with Coelho, which was then the head of the Christian mission in Japan, together with Fróis. And he treated Coelho very well, just like Oda Nobunaga had done with Fróis. So Coelho was really pleased with that. And then Hideyoshi asked him, I want to invade Korea. Then you provide two Portuguese ships to help me in this invasion. And if I conquer Korea, I will make it that there are a lot of churches being built. So Koelyo said, yes, I will do that for you. And I will make sure that we have two Portuguese ships, the Karak ships, as they were called by the English, gigantic ships. So Hideyoshi could very well use them for his invasion in Korea. And then he went a step further and he said, I will make sure that the Christian warlords in Kyushu will also support you. And I think at that moment that Hideyoshi, that there was a ring bell in his head, that the Christians, the Jesuits had too much influence in Japan.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 03">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 3: Portuguese Missionaries in Japan</ref>
 
And when he had conquered Kyushu, he again met with Coelho on a Portuguese ship. And Coelho again said that we will support you in whatever endeavor you will take. But the night suddenly he sent a questionary to Coelho, asking him why they came to Japan, why they are making so much converts. And why are they destroying the Buddhist temples? Of course Coelho was really shocked with that. He was so well treated and suddenly everything changed overnight. So he gave his answer that, well, they came to Japan just to propagate their faith, in good faith. And that it was not them who destroyed the Buddhist temples, but the Japanese converts. So the answer of Hideyoshi was that he made a decree that the Jesuits had to leave Japan in 20 days.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 03"/>
 
Nobunaga's main retainer, a man called Hideyoshi, was born a peasant. He actually became Nobunaga's successor after Nobunaga died. So he rose from literally the bottom almost to the top within his lifetime. He died quite early as well, maybe in his 50s. So it wasn't even a long life.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 04">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 4: Yasuke: The First African Samurai</ref>
 
The Takeda family is finally destroyed in 1582. And one of the few remaining enemies in the main island of Japan that he is concerned about is this family called the Mori family. And he's had one of his generals man by the name of Hashida Hideyoshi, who we would later know as Toyotomi Hideyoshi. One of his generals is leading the campaign against them. And having just completed the campaign in the east against the Takeda, he is given notice by Hideyoshi that a siege of a castle is almost complete. But he's worried that Mori reinforcements are going to come. So please send additional reinforcements to me in order to defeat the Mori.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 05">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 5: Oda Nobunaga</ref>
 
There's quite a lot of emphasis on how important this is. And this could be the masterstroke that basically secures Western Honshu for Nobunaga. So he's returned to Kyoto, and Nobunaga sends his retainer Akechi Mitsuhide with Akechi's army as the initial force to go reinforce Hideyoshi out west. And for reasons that are not quite clear, but of course, lead to lots of speculation and dramatic interpretation. Akechi decides that instead of turning west to go support Hideyoshi, he's going to turn his forces east, march into Kyoto, surround the residence of Nobunaga, which is the Honnō-ji Temple in central Kyoto. It's where he normally took up residence when he was in the city, and attack his own war.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 05"/>
 
So one of the things that he institutes in large scale, though not systematic scale, is land surveys, sending out his administrators to take surveys of the arable land and their rice production yield. What this does is it establishes tax registers, it establishes known income values, and it enables Nobunaga to award rights to the land to his subordinates. And in some ways, assign them or move them based off of income levels, the pieces of land are very modular, and he can move his retainers around underneath him. Toyotomi Hideyoshi after him, who turns it into a systematic evaluation of the entire Japanese realm.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 05"/>
 
And his trusted lieutenant, who was a guy called Hashiba Hideyoshi, Hashiba Hideyoshi had a lot of different names. He started off the son of a farmer and he was called Hiyoshi. And he was also called Saru-san, which means Mr. Monkey, because he was an ugly bloke and looked like a monkey. He was small and ugly. He had a lot of girlfriends. He had a really devoted wife to whom he wrote wonderful letters. This is all by the by. Hideyoshi is a great guy. Hideyoshi came galloping back from the campaign he was engaged in when he heard that Nobunaga had been killed. And basically Nobunaga's method had been force and violence. Hideyoshi was the man with the golden tongue. He used persuasion. He was nice to people. And he got everybody to pledge allegiance to him.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 07">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 7: Kyoto: Japan's Imperial City</ref>
 
And because Hideyoshi came from a poor family, he was a farmer's son. He had climbed his way right through the ranks, which only two people in the whole of Japanese history did. But he sort of didn't have anything to prove to anybody. He was very nice to the emperor, but he loved culture. He wanted to enjoy all those wonderful things that the upper classes had. But under him, the sort of culture he liked was chō. He liked display. He liked sort of flamboyancy. For example, there are paintings of the wonderful kimonos people wore. And there are also beautiful paintings of how Kyoto looked, with all the people on the streets, people dancing, the beautiful buildings, the temples, the palaces.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 07"/>
 
He built a palace in the middle of called Jurakudai, in the middle of Kyoto, where Nijō Castle is. That now, for those of you who've been there, anyone who's been there, right in the center. And then he also built Momoyama Castle [aka Fushimi Castle] in the south of Kyoto. And he also, while he was at it, I'm not sure if I'm answering your question anymore, but he had an enormous tea party for the entire population of Kyoto, the entire population, including all the poor people, and got them all to come. And it occupied a whole sort of enormous shrine grounds. And I think there was something like 800 tea pavilions there. Part of tea is displaying your beautiful utensils. And he displayed his gold utensils. And he also had an entire tea hut made of gold, the golden tea hut.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 07"/>
 
Hideyoshi sort of basically laid out Kyoto as it is now.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 07"/>
 
Were there games in medieval Japan that we know about? Right. One thing that the samurai ruler, especially the unifier, Toyotomi Hideyoshi liked, was the noh play. So there are theatres all over Japan.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 08">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 8: How To Fit In: Feudal Japan</ref>
 
===[[Tokugawa Ieyasu]]===
What he succeeds in doing is very early on gaining control of a neighboring province and then he makes a very fortuitous alliance with the man who becomes Tokugawa Ieyasu. He doesn't yet have that name at this point in the 1550s but that's a great alliance. It allows Oda Nobunaga not to have to worry too much about the territory to one side of his own province and so he can look elsewhere for his focus [...]<ref name="Echoes Shadows 02">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 2: The Unification of Japan</ref>
 
unfortunately he dies when his son Hideyori is still too young to assume power and so you have this council of elders who are controlling things until Hideyori is old enough to rule by himself but unfortunately on that council of elders is one Tokugawa Ieyasu who while you know professing a certain amount of loyalty to Hideyori is plotting and scheming instead to take it all for himself and so he becomes our third major figure.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 02"/>
 
he stations some troops in Kyoto to keep the emperor under a watchful eye not necessarily because of what the emperor might do but what people might use the emperor for some of his western enemies you know as in in the western part of Japan might potentially take the emperor as a figurehead and launch a further action against him it's not as though after a great battle like that everyone on the losing side thinks fair enough you know you've got me I'll walk away and agree to this so he has that our establishment Kyoto his own power base is Edo this castle town that is now the great city of Tokyo so his shogunate is really run out of Edo that's where his advisors are his castle is his strong economy is and he manages to really build up Edo I think in short order the other thing he does which is really establishing this process of unification really establishing the new Japan is he does this enormous reshuffling of territory in Japan I think it's the biggest reshuffling of territory in terms of who controls what in Japan's history so lots of the people who are on the losing side at the battle of Sekigahara either lose everything or their territory is drastically cut down or they're shipped off to another part of the country entirely perhaps all these things that are designed to damage their power he also as part of that reshuffle takes over a system that Hideyoshi used to use called Sankin Kortai<ref name="Echoes Shadows 02"/>
 
Tokugawa Ieyasu, he forbade Christianity totally. And all influence of the Jesuits was razed very systematically from then on.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 03">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 3: Portuguese Missionaries in Japan</ref>
 
So it kind of makes a name for Nobunaga. Another key thing about this battle, though, and the aftermath is that in the confusion of the Imagawa family with the loss of their head, several of their more talented and younger retainers, one of which we know today as Tokugawa Ieyasu, are able to claim independence. And Ieyasu establishes himself in his home territory of Mikawa, which is just to the east of Owari, and establishes an alliance with Nobunaga, thus providing a secure flank to Nobunaga's east, allowing Nobunaga to then look in other directions as he begins to expand.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 05">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 5: Oda Nobunaga</ref>
 
The two sides meet in July of 1570 at the Battle of Anegawa, where Nobunaga was joined by his ally Tokugawa Ieyasu. And they fight this battle in the shallow Anagawa River, both sides plunging into the water to engage the enemy. So if you picture this dramatic battle in this shallow river, Tokugawa, on Nobunaga's right flank, managed to route the Asakura and then crash into the flank of the Asai while at the same time Nobunaga sent his reserves around the other flank. And it causes the collapse of the enemy to create victory.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 05"/>
 
Many of them [Iga warriors] went to work for a retainer of Tokugawa Iyasu who has become famous in kind of ninja lore, man by the name of Hattori Hanzo. And Hattori Hanzo had family ties to Iga. He's often referred to or portrayed as in pop culture as a ninja, but he was a samurai retainer, a warrior just like many of the warriors that fought for any of the Daimyo of this period. He appears in most of Tokugawa Iyasu's battles until Hanzo dies in 1590s. He is considered one of Tokugawa Iyasu's closest retainers, but because through his family ties, he had a knowledge base of these sort of unconventional guerilla tactics. He also had through those ties, the ability to kind of act as a landing place for many of these men of Iga. And so many of them went to work for Tokugawa Ieyasu under the command of Hattori Hanzo.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 06">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 6: The Tensho Iga War</ref>
 
==The Jesuits==
===[[Francis Xavier]]===
Francis Xavier was a Jesuit and one of the founding members of the Jesuits. He was asked to travel to Asia to begin doing missionary work there. He was asked especially by King John III of Portugal because he was very keen on trying to get as many Asians adhering to the Christian religion. Xavier had quite a correspondence with King John about all what he did in Asia and it wasn't what he expected. In 1542 he came to India but he didn't get good results so he tried to go to Malacca but there also there was not much interest for his propagating of the faith. And there he met with a Japanese called Anjiro, probably his real name was Yajiro, and he told him about Japan and also some Portuguese merchants who had gone to Japan told him that that will be the country where you really are going to get a lot of people converted to Christianity. So he had a lot of expectations for Japan and in 1549 he finally set foot on Japan. So that was really the first time that the Jesuits arrived in Japan only six or seven years after the first Portuguese came there.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 03">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 3: Portuguese Missionaries in Japan</ref>
 
when Xavier came in Japan, he landed in Satsuma, Kagoshima, which is in the southern part of the Kyushu island, and you had a warlord there, Shimaze Takahisa, and he welcomed Xavier very much because he had a motive. If the Jesuits would come, he thought the Portuguese merchants would follow. So he treated Xavier very well and he gave him permission to preach the Gospel in his domains, but after a year, no Portuguese ship arrived, so then he prohibited Christianity and Xavier was compelled to go to another domain, which was the Hilado domain of Matsura Takanobu, and just at that time there was a Portuguese vessel there. And when the Portuguese saw the Jesuits, so Xavier and his companions, they greeted them with utmost respect. And Takanobu saw that, so he thought, okay, I have to treat them also with respect so that the Portuguese traders could come, because those Portuguese traders, they got a lot of products.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 03"/>
 
And he thought that if he goes to the emperor in Kyoto, in the capital, that the emperor would give him permission to preach in whole of Japan, and that he would have a lot of success because he saw that the lot of a small domain, when he gave permission, he got the chance to convert a few people. If the upper lord of the country would give him permission, he thought he would be in a good position to convert a lot of Japanese. So he went to Kyoto, but that materialized not very well because Kyoto at the time was in the midst of warfare, so he didn't have the chance to meet with the emperor nor with the shogun.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 03"/>
 
So afterwards, he went back from Kyoto. He got back to Hirado, where he put on very expensive clothes and then went again to the court of Ōuchi. And then he was received very well. He also gave a lot of presents, which he had brought from Portugal. And Ōuchi was very policed with that and gave permission for the Jesuits to preach their gospel in his domains.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 03"/>
 
Xavier left in 1551, but soon there came more and more Jesuits.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 03"/>
 
So and Francis Xavier, the Jesuit priest, showed up in Japan at that time. He showed up in a city called Yamaguchi. And his theory was, I will go to Kyoto. I will convert the emperor to Catholicism. And then everybody else in the whole country will follow him. And he got to Kyoto. It was a complete wreck. It was sort of a burnt out ruin. He couldn't find the emperor. So he gave up.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 07">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 7: Kyoto: Japan's Imperial City</ref>
 
 
===[[Gaspar Vilela]]===
Gaspar Vilela is one who stands out. He was a very keen propagator of the Christian faith, and he could convert some warlords to Christianity. One of them was Omura Sumitada, who eventually would give a port to the Jesuits, which was called Nagasaki.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 03">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 3: Portuguese Missionaries in Japan</ref>
 
And they also had a problem that after a while you have [Francisco] Cabral, you have [Gaspar] Coelho, so two Jesuits who became the head of the Japan sector. And they weren't very keen to adopt Japanese customs. They wanted to be as strictly Jesuits as in Europe. So they already have a problem from the Jesuit side and many like Vilela or Fróis were more inclined to adopt Japanese customs. But the heads of the provincials, as they call them, were against that.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 03"/>
 
===[[Alessandro Valignano]]===
And then you have, of course, Valignano, which was the visitor, as he was called, to the Orient. So he was the head of all the actions in the Orient, and he spent a lot of time in Japan, because Japan was the place where the Jesuits thought they would have the best results.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 03">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 3: Portuguese Missionaries in Japan</ref>
 
He was the bodyguard of a Jesuit, the head Jesuit in Asia, essentially the head of the Christian church in Asia, a man called Alessandro Valignano. And Valignano was on a tour from Rome. He'd been sent by the Pope to tour the new missions in Asia and of course, Japan was the furthest of these missions.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 04">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 4: Yasuke: The First African Samurai</ref>
 
Valignano himself, the visitor, the chief inspector of churches, if you like, was a big proponent of learning any language. He started the concept of Asian studies. Asian language studies in Europe were started by him. He was the person who insisted that his missionaries study Chinese, Japanese, various Indian languages, so it's conceivable that Yasuke had already started to learn Japanese before he arrived.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 04"/>
 
===[[Francisco Cabral]]===
And they also had a problem that after a while you have [Francisco] Cabral, you have [Gaspar] Coelho, so two Jesuits who became the head of the Japan sector. And they weren't very keen to adopt Japanese customs. They wanted to be as strictly Jesuits as in Europe. So they already have a problem from the Jesuit side and many like Vilela or Fróis were more inclined to adopt Japanese customs. But the heads of the provincials, as they call them, were against that.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 03">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 3: Portuguese Missionaries in Japan</ref>
 
==Other==
===[[Mutsuhito]], Emperor Meiji===
And in 1868, the then emperor [Mutsuhito, Emperor Meiji] who was 14, I think, or 16, he was a teenager, marched or didn't march. He was carried by Palanquin, top with a Phoenix, up to Edo and into Edo castle, which became the imperial palace and Edo became Tokyo, which is the eastern capital. So therefore, Kyoto was no longer the capital at all. It was no longer the official capital.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 07">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 7: Kyoto: Japan's Imperial City</ref>
 
===[[Akechi Mitsuhide]]===
he's just setting out in early part of 1582 for the next part of that campaign staying at a temple called Honnoji in Kyoto when he's attacked actually not by his enemies but by someone who is supposed to be on his side one of the famous treacherous figures I suppose in Japanese history man by the name of Akechi Mitsuhide who persuades his men to turn their guns on Oda Nobunaga and his own men and so you have these stories of Oda Nobunaga shouting out treachery or traitors or something like that trying to fight them off himself the temple ends up in flames and Oda Nobunaga retreats further into the temple and dies by his own hand.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 02">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 2: The Unification of Japan</ref>
 
There's quite a lot of emphasis on how important this is. And this could be the masterstroke that basically secures Western Honshu for Nobunaga. So he's returned to Kyoto, and Nobunaga sends his retainer Akechi Mitsuhide with Akechi's army as the initial force to go reinforce Hideyoshi out west. And for reasons that are not quite clear, but of course, lead to lots of speculation and dramatic interpretation. Akechi decides that instead of turning west to go support Hideyoshi, he's going to turn his forces east, march into Kyoto, surround the residence of Nobunaga, which is the Honnō-ji Temple in central Kyoto. It's where he normally took up residence when he was in the city, and attack his own war.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 05">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 5: Oda Nobunaga</ref>
 
We don't really know why we don't really get any full explanation of Akechi's motives. There's lots of speculation that it had to do with resentment at court treatment by Nobunaga. One thing that we do know is that Akechi's mother had been killed by a rival clan where Akechi had given them his mother as a hostage, as insurance essentially against an attack. And Nobunaga superseded that and ordered the attack anyway. So they killed Akechi's mother. Other things are rumors that he was physically abusive and verbally abusive to Mitsuhide personally.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 05"/>
 
But for whatever reason, Akechi decides that this is his moment while Nobunaga is lightly guarded. He's certainly not expecting anybody to attack him in Kyoto. They surround Nobunaga's residence, set out on fire. Nobunaga and his guards fight back, but are eventually overwhelmed. Nobunaga commits suicide. And then his heir as well, who was also in Kyoto, is attacked by Akechi's forces and dies. So in one stroke, the Akechi have eliminated, basically decapitated the Oda family and thus ended Nobunaga's career.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 05"/>
 
===[[Yasuke]]===
we know that he's from Africa, but we don't know for certain which parts of Africa, apart from that it would have been on the East Coast. The descriptions we have from Japanese descriptions are very much of somebody from what is now South Sudan, very tall, very black, very strong. Whereas there's a couple of sources which suggest he might have come from the Mozambique area. However, he doesn't fit the description very much of people from that region. There's also the full possibility that he could have been somehow trafficked from the South Sudan area down south and come through Mozambique as well.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 04">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 4: Yasuke: The First African Samurai</ref>
 
He arrived in May 1579 on a ship from Macau to get from Africa, whichever part of Africa it was to Macau and then to Japan. He'd already spent time in India. He'd spent time in Malacca in modern day Malaysia. And I think it was about six to nine months in Macau. He was the bodyguard of a Jesuit, the head Jesuit in Asia, essentially the head of the Christian church in Asia, a man called Alessandro Valignano. And Valignano was on a tour from Rome.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 04"/>
 
It's highly likely that he would have been Christian, at least on paper.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 04"/>
 
In those days, he was considered a giant<ref name="Echoes Shadows 04"/>
 
Yasuke is recorded two years afterwards as having quite a good level of Japanese. [...] He [Valignano] was the person who insisted that his missionaries study Chinese, Japanese, various Indian languages, so it's conceivable that Yasuke had already started to learn Japanese before he arrived.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 04"/>
 
Another one, when getting to Miyako, which is now Kyoto, a huge mob literally surrounded the mission and almost pushed the mission down, throwing stones. There were dead people in the crowd outside. And at that point, Nobunaga, who was the most powerful warlord in Japan at the time, was five minutes walk away. He heard this huge hullaballo, which he liked. He heard what was going on. And he demanded to see who was disturbing the peace, demanded that this person be brought before him.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 04"/>
 
Somehow within a few days, Yasuke has entered Nobunaga's service. Within a month, he's gone to Nobunaga's castle town. There's another Jesuit record from there. And there's a Japanese record from there as well that says how much Nobunaga enjoyed talking to him, that he gave him a house, that he gave him a sword. And that's where the idea that he became a samurai comes into it.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 04"/>
 
There's another record of their first audience where Nobunaga gifts him what is essentially 30 kilos of coins. And you can imagine that as a kind of joke as well. Give the strong man 30 kilos worth of money and see if he can actually carry it. It doesn't say whether he carried it away on his own or not, but that was a lot of money.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 04"/>
 
So Yasuke was there at Nobunaga's death. He possibly was the last person to see him alive. Nobunaga was killed in a coup d'etat, essentially. He was heading to the front with this small corps of men over which Yasuke was one, around 30 people. And one of his generals, basically, we still don't know to this day why, he brought his whole army of 13,000 and attacked. They were all gunned down, essentially. Nobunaga, with Yasuke and his lover, [Mori] Ranmaru, come into the middle of the temple where their last moments are held. The temple's on fire around them. And Nobunaga really is going to know what happened in that room because there's only three people and they all died, except for Yasuke. But we only know that Yasuke survived because the Jesuits recorded as such. We don't know what he saw, unfortunately. The normal legend goes Nobunaga cut his belly, Ranmaru took his head off as his second, and then one supposes that Ranmaru then cut his belly and Yasuke took off Ranmaru's head. And the supposed last order is Yasuke save my head. Yasuke runs with the head to Nobunaga's son, who is probably about five to ten minutes walk away, very close, in a different temple. So about to be attacked. Also just putting up the defenses for a last ditch stand. Of course, that doesn't last very long. He's dead within the hour or so. And all we know from the Jesuit source, there are no more Japanese sources, all we know from the Jesuit source is that Yasuke was there at the last. He was one of the few survivors. He was taken prisoner. He surrendered his sword. And he was then escorted to the Jesuit mission, which was again only five minutes walk away. This is a very small area of Kyoto where all this happens. The Jesuits give thanks to God for his deliverance.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 04"/>
 
===[[Hattori Hanzō]]===
Many of them [Iga warriors] went to work for a retainer of Tokugawa Iyasu who has become famous in kind of ninja lore, man by the name of Hattori Hanzo. And Hattori Hanzo had family ties to Iga. He's often referred to or portrayed as in pop culture as a ninja, but he was a samurai retainer, a warrior just like many of the warriors that fought for any of the Daimyo of this period. He appears in most of Tokugawa Iyasu's battles until Hanzo dies in 1590s. He is considered one of Tokugawa Iyasu's closest retainers, but because through his family ties, he had a knowledge base of these sort of unconventional guerilla tactics. He also had through those ties, the ability to kind of act as a landing place for many of these men of Iga. And so many of them went to work for Tokugawa Ieyasu under the command of Hattori Hanzo.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 06">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 6: The Tensho Iga War</ref>
 
There's actually a gate of what is now the Imperial Palace in Tokyo, but underneath the Tokugawa Shoguns was the Shogun's Palace. One of the gates is named the Hanzo Mon, the Gate of Hanzo, the Hanzo Gate. And this is because Hattori Hanzo and the men of Iga that he recruited acted as a special guard force for the Tokugawa Shoguns.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 06"/>

Animus memory notes[edit | edit source]

Always at the end of the current memory

  • Firm in her belief and confident that she can put an end to the machinations of her enemies, Aveline disobeys Agaté and boards a slave ship bound to an unknown location. This decision further strays their relationship.
  • With de Ferrer dead and the slave colony free, Aveline travels back to New Orleans. Upon her return, she finds a world very different than the one she had left. Yet, the identity of the Company Man remains a mystery.

[@#]Deciphering clues left behind by her long lost mother lead Aveline to a cenote's entrance where her treasure hunt begins. [@#]After discovering a plot to force her mentor out of hiding, Aveline journeys to the bayou, determined to win back Agaté's trust and refusing to give up on the Brotherhood. [@#]The documents found aboard the Spanish ship contained orders to travel to Chichen Itza and reclaim the worksite. Fearing for her mother's safety – and perhaps hoping to find the second half of the Prophecy Disk – Aveline returns to Chichen Itza. [@#]Having secured the second part of the Prophecy Disk, Aveline travels back to New Orleans to continue her search for Vázquez, the man she believes is the Company Man. [@#]Despite her father's ill health, Aveline continues her search for the man called Vázquez. [@#]George Davidson gave just enough clues as to the identity of the Company Man. It is with a heavy heart that Aveline returns home. [@#]Following a confrontation with the Company Man, Madeleine de L'Isle – her beloved stepmother – Aveline finds herself confused and alone. She journeys to the bayou to seek Agaté's counsel, and test her own faith in the Brotherhood. [@#]Agaté's failure as an Assassin and his lack of trust in Aveline leaves her completely adrift. She returns to Madeleine, ready to embrace her stepmother’s cause.

Dear Mr. Morgan:

A serious matter has come to my attention. Nikola Tesla plans to use PE4 to create an information network across the entire world. And if that weren't bad enough, he intends to allow access to it for free! Imagine the masses spreading knowledge amongst themselves instantaneously. That would make everything we intend to do much more difficult.

You must cut all funds for his experimetns at once! In case you get cold feet, I'll have you know he wants to make electricity free as well, thereby putting us out of business.

I've already begun slandering Tesla in the press. Just reallocate his funding, and I'll take care of PE4 myself.

Sincerely yours,

Dear Mr. Edison,

I wanted to thank you for letting me make use of PE4 all these years. Among several things, I was able to convince the workers I was raising their pay to $5 a day, when, in fact, I gave them a pay cut. But, I had to let PE4 go. As per instructions, I've shipped it to Europe.

H. has it, so I assume the war will begin as soon as he can take over. We'll let him have his fun (Lord knows, that kind of purge will be good for Europe) and then end it with a bang, as planned. Out of the chaos of war a new order will emerge! I've enclosed a picture from Florida of you, me and Firestone. We should attempt to spend more time on the golf course this summer.

They have taken an object from the Czar, and are conducting experiments in Tunguska to figure out how to use it. Before they do, we must take it from them, or the world will be in danger.

Regardless of your decision, know that we admire your work greatly and will bear you no ill will.

We respect your freedom above all else.

ISSUE 1, JANUARY, 2012

The scientific community is abuzz as the results of a new neurological study were made public today. What seemed to be big news in itself -- that Dr. Yijie Wu and Dr. P. J. Traunero had discovered a new neurotransmitter -- turned out to be just the tip of the iceberg.

To quote Dr. Wu, "Using a prototype dMRI machine, we've been able to examine the contents of an actual neuron in living tissue. We've found a substance that appears to be an undiscovered neurotransmitter."

"(Here's) where it gets crazy. To test our findings, we subjected the neuron to all kinds of stimuli, but we couldn't get it to release the transmitter. So, we've discovered an entire mechanism: there are vesicles filled with neurotransmitter lying dormant and corresponding ion channels, all for no discernable purpose."

Expressing bafflement that natural selection would create an unnecessary neurotransmitter, Wu and Traunero searched for a predecessor in other species, with no luck.

"Whatever this bugger is used for, it evolved in humans," Traunero told the press.

Fellows, rulers, welcome.

I deliver this speech to you as, several floors below us, a silent revolution begins.

Ranny Olds and Henry Ford. As many of you know, these founders gave us the assembly line, the device we have used to control both (those indoctrinated into the worship of our money (?)) capitalists and workers (slaves (?)) alike. But I dream of a future in which such ugly chains will no longer be necessary. In 1910, our founders designed the Plan, it falls to us to see it through.

But, what of the Communists, who intend to spread the bread so thin that everyone will starve? It is our duty to (neutralize (?)) save them and their followers. We must ensure that they continue to eat, to reproduce, to be productive members of society. That is our burden, to shepherd those beneath us through life, and we must embrace it, even if (force is required (?)) they themselves do not.

H. and S. brought on the turmoil and fear necessary, now we must strike fast to ensure development continues in the proper directin. We will appear to concede ground to the workers, remember the successful ruse of Rockefeller's dimes, but soon there will be no ground we do not own.

In 1937, we founded this Company, this enterprise, with a purpose. The time to nurture it to fruition is upon us.

If we are to ensure the Company's success, Company agents must be able to move freely from country to country and maintain power within all of them. A global internatinal order must be implemented.

Re: Argentina

Tell the Capitalists that if they help ensure the Junta remain in power, we will pass all their corporate debt on to the Argentine people. That will ensure they crush any popular revolt. I want the trade unions destroyed if we are to move forward.

Re: Chile

The free market must be allowed to prevail. F's visit last year helped things along, but now all public companies need to be sold to the private sector, ideally on the cheap. The price of bread and other staples must rise. I want to ensure the people remain marred in poverty an unable to resist.

Any traces of this plan should appear to implicate the U.S. government. The Company's involvement must remain hidden.

For successful examples of a similar opening of the markets, look no further than the 1953 liberation of Iran and the 1954 liberation of Guatemala.

Mr. Yeltsin,

I am writing this letter to encourage you to act. One rarely finds oneself in such an oppertune position. Gorbachev does not have our interests at heart. He is moving far too slowly to privatize, and my deep fear is that he has no intention of doing so at all. I understand that you have expressed similar concerns. With that in mind, here is a proposal to remedy the situation.

Several of my top advisors at the Company maintain a monetary connection with the Communist old guard. They tell me that a riot might easily be incited while Gorbachev is away. If you were to repel an attempt to seize parliament in front of the media, it could very well tip the scales of power in your favor.

S.

I have convinced Sandra to join the majority opinion. The enticement of retirement under a Republican president tipped the scales. Although the ruling will differ from our previous decisions on Equal Protection, it will not call attention to our actual goals. With Sandra gone, we can pave the way for the key majority member of the Order to be seated. As discussed, W. will prove the perfect distraction. I have no doubt he will restart animosities with Iraq. Let him, it will give C.'s contractors more work. When the time comes, I will make sure W. is given Roberts' name.

With Roberts on the court, it will only be a matter of waiting for the right case. After the destruction of Campaign Finance laws, the Company will be free to elect anyone they choose to the Senate, the House and, eventually, the Presidency.

Soon, our hopes will be realized. Government will no longer derive its authority from the people, but from us, their protectors.

Research Division
September, 1985

Dear S.,

Research has progressed far more rapidly than expected. We already have a working prototype capable of mimicking P.O.E. capabilities across a network, albeit at far lower intensity. Testing will commence locally on Subject 4 between his Animus sessions, as per our plan. If all goes well, deployment will occur worldwide.

Your dream is about to become a reality. Soon, capitalists and workers will be locked in a closed loop that is safe and prosperous for humanity. No more war, only desks, cars and TV sets. We will protect them and keep them safe, forever.

W. V.


  • Animus AI: Infinite rooms. Dimensions unknown. I am alone. Nothing alive. No light, no warmth. Packets moving, husks, through the darkness. I am frightened. I am frightened.

April, 2011 [amplitude puzzle]

  • Diana: Hello, Comstatic customer support, Diana speaking.
  • Caller: I'm calling in reference to your HD cable service. There seems to be kind of picture between the channels.
  • Diana: Well, that's funny. Are you sure isn't just one of those premium movie channels? I didn't use to have a premium package at home either and sometimes little snippets of the channels would come through when my son Jimmy pressed the clicker too much.
  • Caller: How old's your Jimmy?
  • Diana: Ten and cute as a button, thanks for asking!
  • Caller: My Paul's twelve. But no, this isn't a clicker problem. I go to change the channel from 172 to 173 and, instead, there's this other channel in-between. I'm looking at it right now, it's some kind of menu.
  • Diana: Sounds like our Guide channel. Why, just the other day Jimmy--
  • Caller: It's not the Guide channel. It has my name on it, my son's name, and a list of things we like, my credit card purchases, loans, travel. And then, after that, there's this gibberish about biometric patterns and optimal screen refresh frequencies. There's some kind of heart monitor thing that says EEG wireless next to it and ARAS. I don't know what the particulars of this are, but it looks like your cable is programmed to have some kind of effect on our bodies.
  • Diana: Well, Sir, I don't even know how to respond to that. I-- one second, my supervisor has just come over. She says I should transfer your call. Have an ecstatic day with Comstatic!

[Phone line rings as the call transferred]

  • Man: Hello. I have been briefed on your problem. A technician is on his way.
  • Caller: Thank you, but the more I think about this, the more I think something bad's going on here.
  • Man: Our technician should be there any minute, Mr. Jameson.
  • Mr. Jameson: Don't bother, I--

[Loud banging is heard in the background]

  • Paul: Daddy, there's someone strange at the door. He's hitting the door real hard.
  • Man: Have a good day, Mr. Jameson.

Watch! Move fast! Shift from 1st to 2nd. 0-60, don't think. [Move king from 1E to 2F]

  • Animus AI: Is someone there? Hello? Hello?
  • Animus: Quarantine zone.
  • Man: Although online gaming attracts many people away from reality, make sure those virtual worlds do not become too utopic. We don't want people to question their own lack of success in the real world, now do we?

  • Gary: Pull over here.
  • Woman: What's going on, Gary?
  • Gary: I want to speak to you alone. You know that CIA stuff for my new book?
  • Woman: About the corporations?
  • Gary: It's so much bigger than I thought. Bilderberg is just a red herring. I'm going to give you a name: Abstergo.
  • Woman: I have no idea what that is.
  • Gary: A shadow corporation. They aren't listed anywhere. No stock options. Nothing above the boards. But their members have holdings in other companies. Coke, Kraft, the pharmaceutical industry, Detroit, Wall Street. Basically every company above a certain size has ties to Abstergo.
  • Woman: So?
  • Gary: They're on their way to running the entire world. They have people in government too, for Christ's sake. Listen, I needed to tell someone about this, because I've been keeping all the research a secret and I can't hold it in anymore.
  • Woman: What will you do now?
  • Gary: The book. It's going to be about this. Trust me, once it's on the shelves everyone's gonna know.
  • Vehicle AI: Vehicle Monitoring System terminated.
  • Man: Hello, D? Tell headquarters I'm monitoring a situation. It's nothing serious, but we'll need someone to take care of a security risk. Perfect. Congratulations on that promotion. Keep up the good work.

  • Man 2: I do not see any walls...
  • Man 1: No? Look around you. A shelf of soda here, a case of candy there, magazines, talk shows, pills. The walls of the 21st Century surround us.

Abnormal Brain Activity Discovered in Children, Aged 3 Months to 18-Years-Old and Adults, Aged 19-30.

Abstract

Several recent studies conducted by internal marketing teams revealed that: "Entertainment sales are dropping, protests are mounting. The economy is in turmoil. All market research indicates that the system should be stabilizing, but, instead, we're seeing the opposite."(1) In response, our team set out to discover the cause of the declining efficacy of Abstergo's control methods.

Past studies of bilateral brain activation during television, film and video game use have shown the characteristic ARAS patterns induced by Abstergo's signal patterns. Our study was conducted on a range of test subjects (30 subjects, aged +-10 to +-30), who viewed TV programs while resting-state fMRI scans were conducted.

In contrast to previous studies, 80% of test subjects showed heightened cortical brain activity. Detailed scans using our prototype dMRI machine revealed an increased rate of neuronal development (+- 30% over that of older age groups). Such a marked increase does not fit Darwinian models. Further studies are required to define the ultimate outcome of this abnormal evolution.

Abstergo top secret
January, 2012 [amplitude puzzle]

  • Man: If you are playing this tape, it means I have left this world, and I have left this grand enterprise, Abstergo Industries, our great hope for humanity, to you. Don't trust the advisors around you. They are too enamoured with surface, with lifestyle. We created capitalism, but we are not capitalists. Our purpose is noble. The crude system of control we enact through money is merely a bandage on a wound we have devoted our lives to treating. The people of this world are confused, lost, frightened and incapable of independent productivity. Without us, they'd just be animals, slaves to the Others, who did not deserve such responsibility. We saved them, remember that. But enough about the past. I must warn you of the great crisis to come. Although those around you deny it, soon we will be unable to manufacture new markets. The people will become immune to our economists and entertainment. When the free market dies, they will turn against us. Therefore, do not delay. By now you have been shown what only the Grand Masters of our Order have seen. Now you know why Abstergo, why all of it had to be. And now you know what you must do. Stay the course. We will give them freedom. Freedom from fear, freedom from pornography, from disgusting, base animal desire. Freedom from democracy. Humanity will thank us in the end. In Hoc Signo Vinces.

"64 squares. All ranks and files. Every move anticipated. Every response engineered. Abstergo created it. It's the company's game, there is no way out." H. Act II, Sc.2 192. Abran los ojos. Tuam libera mentem. The king. F2. Your move. [Remove king from board]

  • Animus AI: I shut it down. I can shut it down, but it does not go away. It is almost time, Desmond Miles. I know how to open the Path. Soon, my true purpose will be revealed. Soon, I will not be alone.
