The '''Human-First Civilization War''' was a catastrophic conflict that occurred between the [[First Civilization]] and the [[Humans]] who had developed an immunity to the controlling [[Pieces of Eden]].

The '''Human-Isu War''' was a catastrophic conflict that occurred between the [[Isu]] and their [[human]] [[Project Anthropos|creations]], with the latter being aided by human-Isu [[hybrid]]s who had developed an immunity to the controlling effects of the [[Piece of Eden|Pieces of Eden]].

==The Seeds of War==
==The seeds of war==
The First Civilization, small in number but advanced technologically, at some stage found themselves in need of a docile workforce so as to support their world. Rapidly advancing the genetic evolution of already existing species, [[humans|humanity]] was born. Initially, each and every member of humanity was born with a chemical neuro-transmitter deep inside their brain, that made them susceptible to the illusions and mind controlling powers of the Pieces of Eden; however over time, interbreeding between humanity and their "gods" caused some to be born without the neuro-transmitter active, or indeed present<ref name="Assassin's Creed II">''[[Assassin's Creed II]]''</ref>.
The Isu, small in number but advanced technologically, found themselves in need of a docile workforce so as to support their world. They rapidly advanced the genetic evolution of a pre-existing species, and humanity was born. Initially, each and every human was born with a chemical [[neurotransmitter]] deep inside their brain, which made them susceptible to the illusions and mind-controlling powers of the [[adamant]] present in certain Pieces of Eden.<ref name="AC2">''[[Assassin's Creed II]]''</ref>


At some point during this time, two hybrid humans &ndash; named [[Adam and Eve]] &ndash; were able to resist the effects of the [[Pieces of Eden]] due to the fact that they were born without the neurotransmitter in their brains. They managed to escape from their masters with a Piece of Eden known as [[First Apple|The Apple]], which they stole from a [[First Civilization]] city named [[Eden]], and so begun a series of events that led to war<ref name="Assassin's Creed II" />.
However, over time, interbreeding between humanity and their "gods" caused some individuals to be born without the neuro-transmitter active, or indeed present at all. In 75,010 BCE,<ref name="Initiates" /><ref name="Guide Ch1" /> the humans [[Adam]] and [[Eve]] escaped from their masters with a [[Piece of Eden]] known as the [[Apple of Eden 1|Apple]], beginning a series of events that led to war between the two species.<ref name="AC2" />


==The War and Catastrophe==
==The war and catastrophe==
Though technologically superior to their creations, the First Civilization were heavily out-numbered by humans. The human contingent was led by the humans who had been born immune to the effect of the First Civilizations technology. These humans were the children of both humans and the First Civilization, hybrids. They used their immunity to get close to First Civilization beings and kill them, seen by the First Civilization as a betrayal of their 'parents' as spoken by Minerva. Thus they were dubbed 'Assassins'. The First Civilization beings slow reproduction meant that any loss of life was a heavy blow and the skill to execute single assassinations a perfect tactic<ref name="Assassin's Creed II" />.
Though technologically superior to their creations, the Isu beings were heavily outnumbered by humans, as they had produced many to work for them. The human contingent was led by those who had been born immune to the hypnotic effects of the Piece of Eden's effects.<ref name="AC2" />


The war was an even battlefield, with the PoE and additional Knowledge Sense of the First Civilization balanced by the numbers of humans and slow reproduction of the First Civilization. The humans also counted among their ranks Assassins who had the ability to resist the PoE and a diluted version of the Knowledge Sense<ref name="Assassin's Creed II" />.
While war on Earth had prevented many Isu from observing the impending dangers from "the heavens", a few saw the futility of war and their impending extinction as a reason to turn their attention to creating<ref name="In Bocca al Lupo">''Assassin's Creed II'' – [[In Bocca al Lupo]]</ref> [[Six methods of salvation|six attempts]]<ref name="The Message">''[[Assassin's Creed: Revelations]]'' – [[The Message]]</ref><ref name="A Feast to Remember">''[[Assassin's Creed: Valhalla]]'' – [[A Feast to Remember]]</ref> to avoid a future catastrophe from occurring. They transmitted their findings to many [[Temple (Isu)|temples]] built underground to protect them from the war above and as warnings for the future if the Isu failed and were wiped out. Despite their efforts, the solar flare struck and much of the planet was burnt to a cinder, bringing an abrupt end to the conflict as both sides suffered heavy losses.<ref name="In Bocca al Lupo"/><ref name="The Message"/>
 
Eventually however, [[First Disaster|disaster]] struck. War on Earth had prevented the First Civilization from observing the impending dangers from "the heavens" which eventually led to an abrupt, and bloody end to the conflict. Both sides suffered heavy losses due to the disaster, and much of the planet was burnt to cinder. A number of the First Civilization saw the futility of war and their impending extinction as a reason to make peace and turned their attention to creating measures to avoid another future catastrophe they had foreseen. Assassins' (hybrid) ancestors led the humans wanting to make peace with the First Civilization, forgiving their 'parents' for their trespasses, and together they created the temples to warn the future. The war ended with the warring humans winning over the warring First Civilization beings. The peaceful First Civilization beings left their messages for the future and also saw their time come to an end<ref name="Assassin's Creed II" />.
 
The leaders of the warring humans now had in their possession multiple Pieces of Eden and an idea of how best to lead humanity into the future. They were heavily scarred by the knowledge their former slavers had interfered with their evolutionary destiny and sought to bring about humanity's 'rightful' path by any means necessary. They utilized the Piece of Eden as tools but were distrustful of any who had made peace with the First Civilization<ref name="Assassin's Creed II" />.
 
The Assassins always wanted to free humanity and envisioned a world where all beings could live their lives according to their own will. The Creed 'Nothing is True: Everything is Permitted' became their philosophy, exemplifying the belief that all are free to determine their own existence. They believed the misuse of the PoE to control was against all they had worked and suffered for. They did not betray their 'parents' to liberate humanity, only to see it enslave itself<ref name="Assassin's Creed II" />.
 
So thus began a new war. A war for the future of humanity<ref name="Assassin's Creed II" />.

I wanted to ask you something. Which is... what's your name?
This article title is conjecture. Although the article subject is canon, no official name for it has been given.
Ezio, my friend! How may I be of service?

This article is in desperate need of a revamp. Please improve it in any way necessary in order for it to achieve a higher standard of quality in accordance with our Manual of Style.

"When we were still flesh, and our home still whole, your kind betrayed us. We, who made you. We, who gave you life!"
―Minerva, 1499.[src]-[m]

The Human-Isu War was a catastrophic conflict that occurred between the Isu and their human creations, with the latter being aided by human-Isu hybrids who had developed an immunity to the controlling effects of the Pieces of Eden. Little is known about the war itself, except that it served as a distraction preventing both parties from realizing the impending danger from a coronal mass ejection until it was too late.

As a result, the war ended abruptly and with far greater casualties on both sides than either had expected. Working together, both the Isu and humanity recovered from the devastation wrought in the final days of the war and began preparations to prevent such a catastrophe from happening again.

The seeds of war[edit | edit source]

The Isu, small in number but advanced technologically, found themselves in need of a docile workforce so as to support their world. They rapidly advanced the genetic evolution of a pre-existing species, and humanity was born. Initially, each and every human was born with a chemical neurotransmitter deep inside their brain, which made them susceptible to the illusions and mind-controlling powers of the adamant present in certain Pieces of Eden.[4]

However, over time, interbreeding between humanity and their "gods" caused some individuals to be born without the neuro-transmitter active, or indeed present at all. In 75,010 BCE,[1][2] the humans Adam and Eve escaped from their masters with a Piece of Eden known as the Apple, beginning a series of events that led to war between the two species.[4]

The war and catastrophe[edit | edit source]

Though technologically superior to their creations, the Isu beings were heavily outnumbered by humans, as they had produced many to work for them. The human contingent was led by those who had been born immune to the hypnotic effects of the Piece of Eden's effects.[4]

While war on Earth had prevented many Isu from observing the impending dangers from "the heavens", a few saw the futility of war and their impending extinction as a reason to turn their attention to creating[5] six attempts[6][7] to avoid a future catastrophe from occurring. They transmitted their findings to many temples built underground to protect them from the war above and as warnings for the future if the Isu failed and were wiped out. Despite their efforts, the solar flare struck and much of the planet was burnt to a cinder, bringing an abrupt end to the conflict as both sides suffered heavy losses.[5][6]

Aftermath and legacy[edit | edit source]

"We built you in our own image, we built you to survive."
―Minerva.[src]-[m]

During the final days of the war, both sides suffered cataclysmic losses, each being driven to the very brink of extinction.[5][6] While the Isu beings were far more technologically advanced than humanity, not even that could save them from the inevitable. However, humans were more fortunate, as they had been built to survive; through sheer numbers, they promised to return stronger than ever.[5]

Very little evidence of the war or the Isu survived into recorded history. By the late 12th century, all knowledge of the Isu had been forgotten; however, their Pieces of Eden continued to affect the world in a myriad of ways, being seen as religious artifacts, or as a means for a number of miracles.[8]

By the early 21st century, the Templars had re-discovered and reverse-engineered a number of Isu technologies to provide the Earth with a number of technological advancements, including television and the Internet.[9]
