==History==
==Parisian locations==
Legend has it that a she-wolf protected the infants {{Wiki|Romulus and Remus}}, the founders of [[Rome]]. During the [[Renaissance]], the [[Followers of Romulus]] wore wolf skins to emulate their god. They also placed wolf skulls on the entrances to their [[Lairs of Romulus|Lairs]].<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]''</ref>

The Templars also saw the potency of wolf symbolism to the [[Assassins]]' preoccupation with [[eagles]]. [[Baltasar de Silva]] and [[Fiora Cavazza]] dubbed their Assassin-styled protégé "[[Il Lupo]]" ("The Wolf").<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy]]''</ref>

During the [[French and Indian War]], [[Haytham Kenway]] encountered a pack of wolves while searching for [[Kaniehtí:io]]. Their son [[Ratonhnhaké:ton]] became adept at [[hunting]] wolves, trading their pelts, meat or teeth for money. When he and [[Robert Faulkner]] came to [[Oak Island]] looking for [[William Kidd]]'s [[Shards of Eden|treasure]] in 1777, they were attacked by wolves.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed III]]''</ref>

These require wikilinks, or could do with articles of their own:

Other things to do[edit | edit source]


"Hey, did you ever think about that word? "Smuggler?" Rather funny, isn't it?"
―A smuggler working for Upton Travers, 1715.[src]

Smuggling is the illegal transportation of goods.

Far East[edit | edit source]

For the inevitable Shao Jun or Japanese ACs.


The Far East referred to the countries located in east Asia.

The Chinese and Mongolian branches of the Assassins were active in the region, removing tyrants like Qin Shi Huang and Genghis Khan. Despite Genghis' assassination at the hands of Qulan Gal, and the aid of Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad, the Mentor of the Levantine Assassins, they were unable to stop the spread of the Mongol Empire and the conquering of China.

The Italian Assassins, including Marco Polo, travelled through the Far East and to the court of Kublai Khan, where they recovered Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad's Codex.

By 1524, the Chinese Assassins had been wiped out by the Emperor Jiajing. After seeking the aid of Ezio Auditore da Firenze, the former Mentor of the Italian Assassins, Shao Jun journey back to her country to rebuild the Order. By the 21st century, the Assassins had a cell located in Osaka, Japan.

Religion[edit | edit source]

Religion is something the leaders of the Templars and Assassins do not practice due to their knowledge of the First Civilization. The former often moved into religious positions of power to control people, while the latter protected the rights of people to believe what they wanted.

The Aztecs' worship of Tezcatlipoca involved human sacrifices, greatly disgusting the troops under Hernán Cortés.

The Hermeticists believed man, the gods and the world were all equal, and were driven underground as their beliefs undermined the Church.

The Freemasons were a Brotherhood founded after the Renaissance which allowed any man, regardless of what god he believed in, to join.

During the French Revolution, the revolutionary government tried to replace Christianity with the worship of the Supreme Being, an anthromorphisation of reason. [1]
