==The Last Quest of Leonardo da Vinci==
==Echoes of Shadows==
===Blue links===
<!--
<!--
==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"/>
==Lettre de Leonardo==
Amboise, le 1er mai 1519


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"/>
Ezio, mon frère


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"/>
Voilà bien longtemps que nous n'avons pas conversé, et j'aimerais badiner avec toi comme au bon vieux temps, mais je sens que mes forces me quittent, et je crois que le sujet de ma lettre ne soit un peu plus grave. Ou plutôt, plus urgent. Peut-être sais-tu que ces dernières années, j'ai pu profiter de ma retraite au manoir du Cloux pour travailler sur le grand sujet de ma vie : les cités idéales. J'ai cherché à élaborer des lieux parfaits, dont la géométrie, l'agencement et l'organisation permettraient la meilleur entente possible entre les gens du peuple. Un Anglais que j'ai rencontré il y a quelques années, auteur d'un petit livre remarquable qui s'intitule ''Utopiae'', m'a beaucoup aidé dans mes recherches. Mais le temps m'a manqué, et tout ce que j'ai pu découvrir, ce sont des lieux cachés, des sites mythiques, anciens, ou propices à la fondation de refuges pour la Confrérie. C'est ce que je voudrais offrir en testament : des Havres, dans lesquels de nouveaux apprentis pourraient être formés et initiés.


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"/>
Mais j'ai peur que mes travaux aient été communiques, et je crains que ces endroits cachés ne soient révélés. J'ai demandé à ce que toutes traces de ces Havres secrets soient effacées un mois après ma mort, c'est donc le délai dont tu disposes au moment où tu recevras cette lettre. Après quoi, ils seront rendus au mystère dont ils ne doivent jamais sortir en dehors du cercle.
Tu comprendras bien sûr que je ne puisse pas t'écrire ici où ils se trouvent. Mais je gage que ça pourrait être un bon exercice pour évaluer la sagacité de tes nouveaux disciples. Confie-leur la tâche de trouver leur Havre, le plus vite possible !
Choisis dès à présent par laquelle de ces trois villes commencer : Florence, Venise ou Rome ? Saisis-toi de la carte miniature de ton choix parmi ces trois-là.


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"/>
Bonne chance mon ami, et n'oublie pas : « po  l'occhio » (« ouvre l'œil »).


===[[Nagasaki]]===
Leonardo Da Vinci
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>


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"/>
==Carnet de voyage==
*01 / '''Schéma des châteux d'eau'''
*02 / '''Rue des Typographes''' Quelque chose semble se cacher derrière cette enseigne... Serait-ce un indice laissé par Leonardo ?
*03 / '''Mur d'azulejos'''
*04 / '''Vue aérienne de la Grand'Place''' Choisissez prudemment parmi les maisons qui bordent la Grand'Place le bon numéro vous conduit vers le Portfolio. [Picture of the aerial view of the Grand'Place, with the following labeled buildings: 1: Le Roy d'Espagne, 2-3: La Brouette, 4: Le Sac, 5: La Louve, 6: Le Cornet, 7: Le Renard, 8: L'Étoile, 9: Le Cygne, 10: L'Arbre d'or, 11: La Rose, 12: Le Mont Thabor]
*05 / '''Coffre des saisies'''
*06 / '''Entretien avec Alonso Berruguete''' « Oui, c'est bien moi Alonso Berruguette. Je suis subjugué que vous ayez connu le grand Leonardo da Vinci. J'ai un peu correspondu avec lui par l'intermédiaire de mon maître Michel-Ange, car mon grand projet est d'introduire en Espagne la peinture florentine. Il m'avait envoyé un jour un azulejo très particulier, mais je ne possède que la moitié d'un fragment. »
*07 / '''Plafond de la Chapelle Sixtine''' Quelle merveille ! Ces détails, la vivacité de ces scènes ! L'observation minutieuse des cases centrales pourrait être avantageuse pour vos recherches.
*08 / '''Secret révélé à Londres !''' L'illustre Thomas More s'incline devant vous après que vous l'avez libéré. « Leonardo m'avait fait savoir que des membres de la Confrérie viendraient me délivrer, mais je ne pensais pas que ce serrait avec tant de panache. Il aurait voulu que je vous remette ceci je crois. Faites-en bon usage, et menez à bien notre grande utopie. » '''Munissez-vous de la feuille Longitude 1, puis rendez-vous au Carnet de voyage 45.'''
*09 / '''Conversation avec le médecin en chef''' Après avoir sollicité ce médecin sur un certain nombre de sujets, vous orientez la conversation vers les artistes florentins, et vous découvrez bientôt que vous avez un ami commun... « J'ai été le soignant personnel du signore Leonardo, en effet. J'ai suivi pendant un an l'évolution de sa longue maladie, au manoir de Cloux, avant d'être rappelé ici à Florence il y a quelques semaines. J'ai su, depuis, qu'il avait succombé, et j'en ai été très peiné. C'était un esprit brillant. Il m'a légué ce fragment de toile, ça pourra peut-être vous être utile ? Il semblait très fier du code caché à l'intérieur. Si je me souviens bien, cela porte sur des chiffres symbolisés par des éléments de la toile. Il avait bien insisté sur une chose: ne pas compter les doigts repliés de l'Ange. Je me demande ce que ça voulair dire ! »
*10 / '''Personnages de l'école''' [Picture of 8 men of varying ages]
*11 / '''Secret révélé à Grenoble !''' « Leonardo m'avait dit que vous étiez un adversaire de valeur, mais je m'attache toujours à éprouver les paroles au feu des actes. Cependant, vous m'avez convaincu. J'espère que les maigres informations dont je dispose suffiront à vous aider. En fait d'informations, je n'ai qu'une chose à vous remettre, ceci : une feuille translucide marquée d'une ligne. Voilà tout ce que je peux faire pour vous. » '''Munissez-vous de la feuille Latitude 1, puis rendez-vous au Carnet de voyage 45.'''
*12 / '''Secret révélé à Lisbonne !''' Le grand explorateur Vasco de Gama est manifestement dans les dernières années de sa vie, mais lorsque vous le retrouvez à Vidigueira, il semble encore alerte et vous accueille chaleureusement. « Leonardo m'avait prévenu que quelqu'un, un jour, viendrait me parler des Havres, mais je n'aurais jamais imaginé que vous me retrouveriez dans ce petit village, ou je prends une retraite bien méritée. Votre persévérance vous honore. Vous avez mérité de recevoir cet ultime indice." '''Munissez-vous de la feuille Longitude 3, puis rendez-vous au Carnet de voyage 45.'''
*13 / '''Incunables''' [Picture of 8 books, open to their respective title pages, opposite to which a different typography mark has been drawn. The books are "Hypernotomachia Poliphili", "La Chronique de Nuremberg", "Bible 42", "Psautier de Mayence", "La Légende Dorée", "Epistolae", "Cornucopiae", "Le Roman de la Rose". The first book was marked with the symbol for Aldine Press]
*14 / '''Bureau des Fréres Hiéronymites'''
*15 / '''Examen des Portraits d'Holbein''' [Picture of three paintings. 1519's Portrait of Bonifacius Amerbach by Hans Holbein the Younger on the left, 1519's Death of the Virgin by Ambrosius Holbein in the middle, and 1520's Mary with the Sleeping Christ Child by Hans Holbein the Elder on the right]
*16 / '''Entretien avec Gil Vicente''' Gil Vicente semble intéressé par votre question lorsque vous abordez le sujet de Vasco de Gama. « En effet, j'ai un peu connu ce grand explorateur. Il venait souvent aux représentations théâtrales, fut un temps. Mais je dois reconnaître que ce n'est plus le cas, bien qu'il fut un grand amateur de spectacles vivants. Un jour, après une pièce très réussie, il m'a remis ceci en gage de gratitude. C'est une carte de son plus fameux voyage vers Calcutta. Cela vous sera peut-être utile. »
*17 / '''Choix d'une deuxième ville''' La première énigme est résolue, et vous êtes à présent en possession d'un précieux artefact : une feuille translucide quadrillée qui semble devoir se superposer à autre chose. Leonardo vous a également laissé les instructions suivantes : « Maintenant que vous possédez un premier élément pour résoudre le mystère final, hâtez-vous de passer le flambeau à une nouvelle équipe d'Assassins dans une des autres villes d'Europe qui recèlent les secrets des Havres. Choisissez entre Grenoble, Bruxelles et Augsbourg, et envoyez par pigeon voyageur toutes les informations dont vous disposez aux membres de la Confrérie qui œuvrent dans ces cités. » '''Choisissez la mini-map de la ville qui poursuivra votre périple : Grenoble, Bruxelles ou Augsbourg ?'''
*18 / '''La partie de dés''' « Tout se sait dans la ville, savez-vous ? Vous enquêtez sur le tableau de Jérôme Bosch, pas vrai, celui qui a été acheté il y a quelques années pour orner le palais de Nassau ? Je vous fais une proposition honnête : jouons à un jeu en échange d'une information. Regardez mes dés, réfléchissez, et dites-moi quel numéro ils vous donnent. »
*19 / '''Registre des typographes''' [Picture of an address book with the following text:
::'''Typographes à Venise'''<br><br>'''Calducci, Gianni''' 116 Calle Regina<br>'''Colombani, Cristiano''' 123 Calle Zambelli<br>'''Faiduce, Alme''' 56 Calle Miani<br>'''Manuce, Alde''' 62 Calle del Campaniel<br>'''Maude, Nicola''' 93 Calle Salviati<br>'''Modoaldo, Claudio''' 69 Fondamenta del Parucheta<br>'''Munaca, Dale''' 81 Calle Agnello<br>'''Radice, Manuele''' 23 Campo san Cassiano<br>'''Temane, Ciro''' 89 Calle del Megio<br>'''Uelo, Damiano''' 81 Fondamenta Mocenigo]
*20 / '''Conseil d'Alessio''' « Leonardo a parlé d'un secret dessiné sur des azulejos : nous devons en retrouver les fragments pour reconstituer le schéma de la machine. Il suffira ensuite d'effectuer une opération grâce aux numéros des différentes pièces, telles qu'elles sont notées sur la commande de Magellan. »
*21 / '''Rue des Tisserands'''
*22 / '''Entretien avec Ignace de Loyola''' Vous reconnaissez l'érudit et théologien Ignace de Loyola, un des membres éminents de l'Université sévillane. Il écoute attentivement ce que vous lui racontez de votre quête et de ses motifs. « Je pense pouvoir vous diriger vers deux artistes actuellement présents à Séville et susceptibles d'avoir été en lien avec l'illustre Leonardo. Je vous laisse faire le tour de l'école pour les trouver. »
*23 / '''Note de Leonardo''' « Un fragment du nom/Dans un sens ou dans l'autre/Complète les espaces vides/Sers-toi de ta psyché. »
*24 / '''L'énigme des trois érudits''' Clément Marot : « Je suis tantôt soldat, tantôt ouvrier ; tantôt brun, tantôt rouge ; et ma reine habite au plus profond du sous-sol. Qui suis-je ? » Marguerite de Navarre :  « Je suis une chose possédée par mon illustre frère le Roi de France. Il me possède depuis son premier jour, et je resterai sien jusqu'à son dernier souffle ; je ne reste jamais le même car sans cesse je crois, année après année. Qui suis je ? » François Rabelais, dans un éclat de rire :  « Débrouillez-vous avec ça ! Trouvez la réponse à la première énigme, et comptez ses pieds. Trouvez la réponse à la seconde énigme, et donnez sa hauteur actuelle. Combinez les deux, vous aurez votre réponse. »
*25 / '''Choix d'une troisième ville''' La deuxième énigme est résolue, et vous êtes à présent en possession d'une nouvelle feuille translucide, marquée d'un trait dont vous ne comprenez pas encore l'intérêt. Leonardo vous a toutefois laissé les instructions suivantes : « Tes disciples et toi avez franchi avec brio les deux premières étapes de ce périple, aussi hâtez-vous de passer le flambeau à une nouvelle équipe d'Assassins dans une des autres villes d'Europe qui recèlent les secrets des Havres. Choisissez entre Londres, Séville et Lisbonne et envoyez par pigeon voyageur toutes les informations dont vous disposez aux membres de la Confrérie qui œuvrent dans ces cités. » '''Choisissez la mini-map de la ville qui poursuivra votre périple : Londres, Séville ou Lisbonne'''
*26 / '''Stand de tissus du monde''' « Admirez, touchez, caressez mes étoffes venues du monde entier : les délicats tissus de l'Orient brûlant, la laine épaisse des contrées du Nord, les kimonos du Cipango... »
*27 / '''Conversation avec le médecin en chef''' Vous tentez, par tous les moyens, d'aborder des sujets intéressants avec le médecin, mais vous ne parvenez à faire sortir l'entretien de ses aspects les plus triviaux. Vous pouvez tenter une autre approche en évoquant Leonardo : pour cela, rendez-vous au Carnet de voyage 9.
*28 / '''Entretien avec Richard Croke''' « Vous avez bien fait de venir me parler. Bien sûr, je connais sir Thomas, et je sais qu'il a été emprisonné à la Tour. Cela fait même des semaines que j'enquête pour connaître le bâtiment où il est détenu. Voici ce que je peux vous transmettre à partir de toutes les informations que j'ai recoupées : il est quelque part sur une ligne qui court de Martin Tower à Well Tower. »
*29 / '''Soldat en permission''' « Aaaah… Le valeureux blason de cet homme magnifique. C'est tout plein de motifs et de formes, ça je peux vous dire. Et c'est sur un fond vert uni Euh, non, attendez, bleu uni, oui c'est ça. Tenez, ces comme cette étoffe. » Vous examinez le fragment qu'il vous tend.
*30 / '''Entretien avec Magellan''' C'est un personnage assez célèbre pour que vous le reconnaissiez : il s'agit de Fernand de Magellan, le navigateur portugais au service du Roi d'Espagne Charles Quint. Vous décidez de lui présenter votre quête, et il affiche soudain une mine captivée. « Vous connaissez Leonardo ? Écoutez, je peux vous aider et vous confier un des secrets du signore da Vinci. Mais vous devrez m'aider en retour. Vous savez sans doute que je dois appareiller dès le mois de septembre pour un immense voyage, peut-être un tour du monde connu. Leonardo avait travaillé à ma demande sur une machine de navigation à installer sur mon navire, et sans elle mon entreprise est condamnée à échouer. Je peux vous confier la liste des dernières pièces  qu'il m'avait demandé de commander, mais vous devez me fournir le schéma de montage pour que je puisse en faire quelque chose. Voici à  quoi doit ressembler la machine à la fin. » '''Munissez-vous du mini-plateau Énigme 8.'''
*31 / '''Rue des Peintres''' De nombreux peintres proposent leurs toiles sur ces stands. Vous vous arrêtez un instant pour les admirer.
*32 / '''Rencontre avec les Assassins de Rome''' Dans un premier temps, l'accueil de ces membres des Assassins est plutôt froid, mais bientôt ils vous manifestent davantage de confiance, à mesure que vous leur avancez des preuves de votre appartenance à la Confrérie. Deux d'entre eux se proposent même pour vous accompagner et vous aider dans certaines tâches.
*33 / '''Entretien avec Nicoluso Pisano''' « Je suis Nicoluso Pisano, je suis peintre et je viens d'Italie. En effet, j'ai bien connu Leonardo et suis désolé d'apprendre son décès. C'est moi qui ai introduit la mode des azulejos sur la péninsule ibérique, et cette technique de faïence l'intéressait beaucoup. Il m'avait confié un azulejo très particulier, mais je ne dispose que de la moitié du fragment. »
*34 / '''Stand d'animaux exotiques''' « Venez admirer les bêtes les plus étranges que vous pourrez trouver à Venise. Des oiseaux multicolores, des singes miniatures, et mêmes des lézards géants ! »
*35 / '''Tentative de dialogue avortée''' Vous essayez pendant un temps considérable de raisonner ce frère, et de lui expliquer le motif de votre intrusion, mais il demeure paniqué et refuse d'entamer un dialogue serein. Il va falloir sévir...
*36 / '''Soldat en permission''' « Le chevalier Pierre Taillard, c'est le m... m... meilleur. Même depuis cette échauffourée contre les mutins il y a quelques jours, quand il s'est démis l'épaule droite, il a quand même continué à lutter, et couper, et taillader. Le m... m... meilleur je vous dis. »
*37 / '''Villages et distances autour de Lisbonne''' Canha, 89<br>Monte Novo, 108<br>Sines, 175<br>Vidigueira, 180<br>Grandola, 186<br>Pias, 216
*38 / '''Marchand d'esclaves''' « ... Tâtez-moi cette marchandise, messieurs-dames, les meilleurs esclaves venus du monde entier. Ce colosse slave peut tirer l'équivalent d'un attelage de quatre - et contrairement au cheval, il peut vous défendre contre les agressions. Et que dire de cette jeune tigresse tout droit venue de la lointaine Cipango ? Elle a bien failli me filer entre les doigts une dizaine de fois, mais quelle agilité ! Faites-moi une offre pour ces perles rares... » »
*39 / '''Association des éclats d'azulejos''' Leonardo avait prudemment décidé de fragmenter ses indices entre plusieurs personnes de confiance résidant a Séville. Il s'est heureusement trouvé que ces deux artistes fréquentaient l'Université, et vous voilà avec un azulejo complet et reconstitué, prêt à vous dévoiler son secret, à condition de le fouiller assez minutieusement.
*40 / '''Le typographe''' « Je devine que je ne suis pas celui que vous espériez. Alde, mon père, [This makes him Paulus Manutius] était le plus grand typographe de notre époque, mais il nous a malheureusement quittés il y a quelques années. J'ai repris l'atelier avec mon oncle et mon grand-père. Le signore Leonardo m'avait prévenu que quelqu'un viendrait un jour, et il m'a prié de vous donner ceci. C'est la marque typographique de l'atelier Manuce. J'espère qu'elle vous sera utile. »
*41 / '''Fresque nautique''' [Picture of a nautical chart of North and Central America]
*42 / '''Des invités de marque''' Après avoir subtilement interrogé d'autres domestiques, vous avez fini par comprendre que ces invités de marque sont le gratin des lettres françaises de leur époque : il s'agit de Clément Marot, poète officiel de François 1er, de Marguerite de Navarre, la propre sœur du Roi de France, et du grand François Rabelais, libre penseur satirique et écrivain talentueux. Ce sont des amis et alliés de Leonardo, vous prenez donc le parti, en leur servant le thé, de leur dévoiler vos réelles intentions. Évidemment, ils sont d'abord sceptiques. Ils décident d'évaluer votre sagacité avec une énigme de leur cru.
*43 / '''Stand de presse typographique''' « ... et voici la pointe de la technique moderne pour faire imprimer vos ouvrages. Les typographes de Venise, que je représente, sont à la pointe de la presse de caractères, les meilleurs du monde comme vous pouvez le constater. Consultez ici le registre qui présente leurs ateliers, faites appel à eux pour vos livres saints... »
*44 / '''Fresque nautique''' [Picture of a nautical chart of North and Central America]
*45 / '''Fondez votre cité idéale''' Superposez les feuilles Latitude et Longitude gagnées à la carte de l'Europe pour découvrir le numéro d'une des 9 solutions possibles. Utilisez si besoin une surface plate et éclairée, comme une fenêtre, pour mieux lire les coordonnées. Félicitations : vous êtes parvenu à résoudre les énigmes des trois villes que vous avez visitées ! Vous avez à présent en main tous les éléments nécessaires pour découvrir l'emplacement du site que Leonardo avait prévu pour vous, afin que vous y fondiez votre propre Havre. Mais sachez que vous n'avez trouvé qu'un seul Havre parmi les neuf possibles ! N'hésitez pas à recommencer une partie, en sélectionnant de nouvelles villes, pour y vivre de nouvelles aventures et découvrir de nouvelles solutions étonnantes.


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>
==Cartes==
*001 / '''Serrure à crocheter''' Les Hiéronymites tiennent à leurs secrets : cette porte ne sera pas simple à crocheter.
*002 / (Action SUIVRE) '''Peter (orphelin)''' « Je vous dois la vie, j'aurais fini par périr au fond d'un cellier avec un tel tortionnaire. Laissez-moi vous aider : me faire voir, et vous ramener des informations sur qui vous voulez. »
*003 / (Action EXAMINER) '''Greta (enlumineuse)''' « J'assiste le maître Holbein sur les travaux d'enluminure, mais j'ai terminé ma formation et je souhaiterais partir à l'aventure. Permettez-moi de vous accompagner : mon regard ne laisse jamais échapper le moindre détail. »
*004 / '''Crocheter la serrure : réussi !''' Et voilà ! La porte s'ouvre sur un bureau sans doute rempli de documents intéressants. Vous vous mettez en quête de ce que vous pourriez trouver en rapport avec les thèses de Luther.
*005 / '''Crocheter la serrure : échec !''' Vous n'avez pas employé le bon crochet. Tout est à recommencer et cette porte est particulièrement retorse. '''Retournez à la carte 1'''
*006 / '''Assassinat du geôlier''' Vous avez longuement étudié les allées et venues du geôlier en charge de la Salt Tower. La nuit venue, au moment opportun, vous frappez.
*007 / '''Charlatanisme''' Vous avez beau consacrer un moment à ce pauvre malade, vous concluez que vous allez lui faire plus de mal que de bien, avant de renoncer.
*008 / '''Thèses placardées''' Les thèses qui ont été placardées ici font partie des plus explosives revendications de Luther. Il faudrait s'en inspirer.
*009 / '''Quartier des officiers''' Ce coffre semble contenir l'ensemble des objets suspects saisis par les officiers de l'Arsenal. S'il y a un endroit à fouiller, c'est bien celui-ci.
*010 / '''Conseil d'Alessio''' « Voilà une bonne vue d'ensemble de la Tour de Londres. Il s'agit maintenant de trouver le bâtiment dans lequel est enfermé Thomas More.<br> Pour commencer, il faut trouver le moyen d'obtenir les noms de ces bâtiments, sans quoi aucune indication ne nous sera utile. »
*011 / '''Sommet de l'Hôtel de Ville''' De cette hauteur, vous pouvez enfin contempler la Grand'Place sous tous les angles. Pour peut-être repérer un bâtiment en particulier ?
*012 / '''Entrée du tombeau des Assassins''' Une fois dans le Duomo, la porte du tombeau semble ne pas devoir s'ouvrir aussi facilement. Peut-être l'énigme envoyée par Leonardo à propos de son tableau va-t-elle ici prendre tout son sens ?
*013 / '''Havre - TIMGAD''' Cité antique fondée par Trajan en 100. Colonie romaine qui ressemble à une version miniature des villes romaines classiques. Semble abandonnée vers le VIe siècle et oubliée après la conquête musulmane du Maghreb. On peut sans mal imaginer qu'elle ait été ensuite réappropriée en secret.
*014 / '''Tout proche du plafond''' D'ici vous pourrez investiguer et agir au plus près des différents éléments du plafond.
*015 / '''Énigme résolue !''' Bravo ! Vous avez percé le mystère du mythique tableau de Jérôme Bosch. En étudiant de près la multitude d'éléments qui fourmillent sur la toile, vous avez su repérer les symboles cachés qui en révèlent le sens secret. Il ne vous reste plus qu'à présenter la clé de l'énigme à Erasme.
*016 / (Action ASSASSINER) '''Esteban (assassin)''' « Parmi les membres de notre Confrérie à Rome, je suis l'Assassin le plus efficace. J'ai l'œil pour repérer le moment le plus opportun et fondre sur ma cible. Laissez-moi vous aider. »
*017 / '''Sommet du Colisée''' Vous ne savez trop comment le décrire, mais vous avez la sensation que ce vieillard vous attendait, précisément ici.
*018 / '''Havre - CYTHÈRE''' Cythère est perçue comme l'île qui abrita la naissance d'Aphrodite, et donc comme un paradis utopique de la célébration inconditionnelle de l'amour et de la galanterie, avec un respect tout particulier pour la figure féminine.
*019 / '''Sommet de la tour''' Le panonceau indique qu'une inspection du récent incendie a été effectuée par Pierre Taillard en personne. Au sol, vous retrouvez un morceau de tissu brodé sur lequel figure un animal, comme s'il s'agissait d'une partie de blason.
*020 / '''Vue de la Tour de Londres''' Depuis cette vue surplombante de la Tour de Londres, vous êtes en mesure de dessiner un plan exact des lieux. '''Munissez-vous de mini-plateau Énigme 7'''
*021 / (Action BATAILLER) '''Milosz (lutteur)''' Vous libérez Milosz aussitôt après l'avoir acheté. « Je ne peux laisser votre générosité sans contrepartie. Faites appel à moi si vous avez besoin d'un soutien dans une bataille rangée. Aucun adversaire ne me résiste. »
*022 / '''Énigme résolue !''' Bravo ! Vous avez percé le mystère de la Tour de Londres. Reste maintenant à aller délivrer Thomas More, et pour cela il faudra choisir entre deux issues : combattre les gardes ou assassiner le geôlier.
*023 / '''Crocheter la serrure : échec !''' Vous n'avez pas employé le bon crochet. Tout est à recommencer et vous avez perdu du temps à attendre que la porte ne soit pas surveillée. '''Retournez à la carte 113'''
*024 / (Action CROCHETER) '''Flora (cambrioleuse)''' « Je m'appelle Flora, et pour vous remercier de m'avoir aidée, j'aimerais vous accompagner et mettre mes talents de cambrioleuse à votre service. »
*025 / '''Table d'orientation''' C'est une table d'orientation qui permet de se repérer dans la ville. La partie sur la Tour de Londres en détaille certains éléments, cela pourrait se révéler intéressant.
*026 / '''Entretien avec Martin Luther''' Il s'agit de Martin Luther en personne ! « Ainsi vous faites partie de la Confrérie... et vous me surprenez à Augsbourg, où je diffuse mes thèses. Nos philosophies sont-elles compatibles ? Prouvez-moi que votre fameux credo peut s'accorder avec ma Réforme. »
*027 / '''Sommet du Giralda''' C'est bien ce qu'il vous semblait. D'ici, vous repérez des bâtiments dont vous n'auriez pas soupçonné l'existence.
*028 / '''Accès à l'intérieur de la Tour''' Comme vous l'aviez prévu, une trappe vous mènera à l'intérieur de la Tour sans que personne ne vous voie.
*029 / '''Havre - MILET''' Cité de la Grèce antique dont la légende se rapproche de celle de la guerre de Troie, conçue selon un plan quadrillé strict en îlots, qui servit de source d'influence au fameux tracé hippodamien. Elle est incorporée à l'Empire ottoman au XVe siècle.
*030 / '''Réponse à l'énigme''' « Vous avez deviné, c'était bien une fourmi, avec ses six pattes. Et l'âge actuel de François : 24 ans. Vous semblez digne de confiance : nous pouvons vous soumettre au jugement de M. Taillard. Pour le rejoindre, vous aurez besoin de ceci. »
*031 / (Action FOUILLER) '''Jean (inspecteur)''' « Quelle angoisse ! J'étais venu en inspection ici suite à l'incendie du toit de la tour, et j'ai réussi à m'enfermer moi-même dans ce cellier sans lumière. Merci infiniment : puis-je mettre mes talents à votre service pour me racheter de cette dette ? »
*032 / '''Crocheter la serrure : réussi !''' Et voilà ! Vous vous engouffrez dans le bureau, et vous avez à présent tout loisir de le fouiller à la recherche d'indices décisifs.
*033 / '''Conseil d'Alessio''' « Le carton que nous vous venons de trouver nous fournit les principes essentiels du credo des Assassins. Retrouvons les thèses de Luther les plus diffusées, et cherchons celle qui se rapproche le plus de ces principes en procédant par élimination. »
*034 / '''Crocheter la serrure : réussi !''' C'est bien ce que vous pensiez : un homme était enfermé là-dedans, dans une pièce noire comme dans un four. Quel cauchemar !
*035 / '''Havre - PIENZA''' Village fondé au XVe siècle sur les ordres du pape Pie II, incarnation matérielle de l'utopie de la Renaissance et de la cité idéale imaginée à l'époque. C'est une concentration du génie architectural italien, inspiré par l'illustre Leon Battista Alberti.
*036 / (Action ÉNIGME - Retranchez 10 à une carte pour obtenir un conseil d'Alessio) '''Alessio (érudit)''' « Ne vous fiez pas à mon jeune âge. Je suis un disciple du signore Machiavelli et mon esprit est vif. Faites appel à moi si vous rencontrez un mystère insondable.»
*037 / '''Conseil d'Alessio''' « Cette matrice sert de canevas à des éléments, auxquels on doit restituer le bon emplacement - peut-être des éléments picturaux. Après quoi, il faut repérer les détails de l'image et les relier entre eux par une opération mathématique. »
*038 / '''Crocheter la serrure : réussi !''' Le secret du ''Jardin des délices'' ne réside pas dans cette verroterie. C'est donc qu'il doit être noté sur ce papier.
*039 / '''Crocheter la serrure : échec !''' Vous n'avez pas employé le bon crochet. Tout est à recommencer et vous avez perdu du temps à attendre que le coffret ne soit pas surveillé. '''Retournez à la carte 79'''
*040 / '''Crocheter la serrure : réussi !''' L'endroit semble propre, confortable et bien fréquenté. Il s'agirait de ne pas vous faire repérer, et pour cela vous fondre parmi les domestiques de la ferme.
*041 / '''Déguisé en domestique''' Vous avez observé et traqué cette équipe de domestiques des heures : ils semblent au service de sommités en villégiature. Celui-ci, qui sert le thé aux convives, vous a paru le plus à même d'approcher les invités importants.
*042 / '''Havre - ABBAYE DE THÉLÈME''' Dans cette utopie collective mais sélective, les membres doivent être exceptionnels, mais on les laisse vivre selon leur gré. Ils sont intensément éduqués, aux arts et au savoir, et connaissent souvent plusieurs langages. Elle est célébrée par Rabelais à la fin de ''Gargantua'' (1534).
*043 / '''Le credo''' L'emplacement des divers châteaux d'eau vous renvoie à un point bien précis de la ville où, sous un arbre, vous trouvez un panonceau énonçant clairement les principes du credo des Assassins. '''Munissez-vous du mini-plateau Énigme 6.'''
*044 / '''Énigme résolue''' Bravo ! Vous avez percé le mystère des 95 thèses de Luther: parmi elles, il y en a une en effet, qui peut faire correspondre le credo de la Confrérie avec les préoccupations modernes de la Réforme. Il faudrait à présent convaincre l'auteur des thèses lui-même.
*045 / '''Havre - PALMANOVA''' Forteresse en forme d'étoile qui célèbre la perfection de l'organisation militaire associée à la gestion urbanistique. Officiellement fondée en 1593, mais on peut imaginer que les premières ébauches ont été fondées avant.
*046 / '''Combat gagné contre les gardes''' Vous voilà débarrassé du comité d'accueil. À présent, vous pénétrez dans l'enceinte et vous vous cachez dans un coin le temps que l'agitation se calme.
*047 / '''Matrice''' Après une journée de fouille intensive dans le bric-à-brac qui encombre l'ancien atelier de Leonardo, la chose la plus singulière que vous découvrez est une sorte de matrice, qui semble devoir accueillir différents parties d'un tableau. '''Munissez-vous du mini-plateau Énigme 1.'''
*048 / '''La garde est vaincue''' C'était une riche idée de couper les liens qui maintenaient la herse : elle s'est abattue sur la majorité des gardes, vous laissant le champ libre pour finir une plus petite cohorte. Vous avez à présent accès à la Salt Tower, et à ses geôles.
*049 / '''Crocheter la serrure : échec !''' Vous n'avez pas employé le bon crochet. Tout est à recommencer et cette porte est particulièrement retorse. '''Retournez à la carte 115'''
*050 / '''Un regard intrigant''' Vous jureriez qu'un de ces ecclésiastiques vous a adressé un regard.
*051 / '''Havre - YS''' Ville bretonne légendaire engloutie par l'océan. Issue d'une tradition celte et druidique, puis « convertie » à la légende hagiographique vie les personnages du roi Gradlon et de la pécheresse Dahut.
*052 / '''Crocheter la serrure : réussi !''' Et voilà ! La porte s'ouvre et vous donne accès à un bureau sans doute rempli de documents précieux, mais un frère hiéronymite a mal choisi son jour pour trainer par ici.
*053 / '''Crocheter la serrure : échec !''' Vous n'avez pas employé le bon crochet. Tout est à recommencer et cette porte est particulièrement retorse. '''Retournez à la carte 115'''
*054 / '''Havre - NEUF-BRISACH''' Ville fortifiée organisée en étoile, conçue officiellement par Vauban en 1697, mais dont on peut imaginer une première fondation deux siècles plus tôt, non loin de l'emplacement de Vieux-Brisach.
*055 / '''Détail du portrait''' Un détail du ''Portrait de Bonifacius Amerbach'' vous a sauté aux yeux : le panneau en arrière-plan fait figurer certaines des thèses honnies de Luther.
*056 / '''Escalade de la Tour de l'Isle''' La Tour de l'Isle n'est pas bien haute, mais son ascension est périlleuse. À vous de privilégier le chemin le plus sécurisé.
*057 / '''Crocheter la serrure : échec !''' Vous n'avez pas employé le bon crochet. Tout est à recommencer et vous avez perdu du temps à attendre que le coffret ne soit pas surveillé. '''Retournez à la carte 101'''
*058 / '''Médecin en chef''' Un des médecins semble diriger tous les autres. C'est peut-être à lui qu'il faudrait s'adresser pour glaner des informations intéressantes.
*059 / '''Énigme résolue !''' Bravo ! Vous avez percé le mystère de la machine de navigation de Leonardo ! Reste maintenant à en livrer le fonctionnement au principal intéressé.
*060 / '''Inscriptions''' Les inscriptions sur le mur semblent moquer le chevalier Bayard, protecteur des lieux. Son blason a été dessiné - sans doute pour être détourné - juste à côté, mais ça a été effacé, probablement par les autorités.
*061 / (Action DIALOGUER) '''Arturo (enquêteur)''' « Ma spécialité est de mener des interrogatoires. Je sais mener la conversation vers les sujets que je souhaite, repérer les mensonges et lire les expressions du visage. Permettez-moi de vous aider. »
*062 / '''Conseil d'Alessio''' « Connaissez-vous ces jeux pour enfants que l'on appelle "Cherche & Trouve" ? J'ai l'impression que le sieur Erasme attend de nous de dénombrer des éléments en particulier parmi la multitude de personnages, d'animaux et d'objets de ce retable. »
*063 / '''Havre - DUNWICH''' Village médiéval anglais dont la majeure partie a sombré dans la mer, et perd encore 1m par an devant l'avancée maritime. Son déclin a commencé au XIIIe siècle. Souvent appelé « Atlantide anglaise ». Lovecraft a baptisé ainsi l'un de ses célèbres villages maudits, le situant cette fois dans le Massachusetts.
*064 / '''Fouiller le manoir''' On vous a fait savoir que les résidents de ce manoir ont un rapport étroit avec l'organisation des détentions et des gardiens à la Tour de Londres. En effet, vous trouvez plusieurs documents qui pourraient vous aider.
*065 / '''Crocheter la serrure : échec !''' Vous n'avez pas employé le bon crochet. Tout est à recommencer et vous avez perdu du temps à attendre que la porte ne soit pas surveillé. '''Retournez à la carte 113'''
*066 / '''Gardien du tombeau''' Il n'a pas été facile de repérer les failles de ce gardien inflexible. Mais vous avez remarqué qu'il relâchai sa vigilance après son repas du soir, et c'est le moment que vous choisissez pour frapper.
*067 / '''Crocheter la serrure : échec !''' Vous n'avez pas employé le bon crochet. Tout est à recommencer et cette serrure très complexe vous fait perdre beaucoup de temps. '''Retournez à la carte 151'''
*068 / '''Énigme résolue !''' Bravo! Vous avez percé le mystère du plafond de la chapelle Sixtine : sur les bords de chacune des scènes, vous remarquez de discrets boutons qui semblent pouvoir être pressés. Mais comment atteindre cette hauteur à présent ?
*069 / '''Groupe de truands''' Deux innocentes victimes sont sur le point d'être détroussées par une bande d'assaillants haineux. Il faudrait peut-être leur venir en aide, et pour cela trouver le maillon faible de leur groupe.
*070 / '''Secret révélé à Augsbourg''' Le frère Luther approuve votre comparaison : ce qui peut vous relier à lui, c'est la bienveillance, la défense des faibles et des humbles. Convaincu, il vous remet l'artefact que Leonardo lui avait laissé : c'est une simple feuille de papier translucide marquée d'un trait. '''Munissez-vous de la feuille Latitude 3.'''
*071 / '''Un frère suspect''' Les passants contournent de loin ce frère Augustin à l'aspect discrètement quelques temps, pour vous rendre compte qu'il réside dans une des maisons de la Fuggerei.
*072 / '''''Le Jardin des délices''''' Le fameux tableau de Jérôme Bosch ! '''Munissez-vous de mini-plateau Énigme 5'''
*073 / '''Escalade du Duomo''' Ce sera une ascension périlleuse. À vous de choisir le chemin le plus cohérent pour pénétrer dans la cathédrale sans vous faire repérer.
*074 / '''L'offre et la demande''' Hasard providentiel : cette boutique vend justement un assortiment de costumes d'Assassins, avec des coloris variés ! Vous allez pouvoir changer de style avec panache.
*075 / '''Secret révélé à Grenoble''' Le chevalier Bayard stoppe le combat et semble satisfait de votre prestation. Vous avez réussi à vous faire respecter par ce haut personnage, et il semble sur le point de vous livrer le secret que lui a confié Leonardo.
*076 / '''Crocheter la serrure : réussi !''' Et voilà ! Le contenu du coffret est à vous. Il contenait en effet deux fragments du tableau de Leonardo, que vous vous empressez d'emporter avec vous.
*077 / '''Accès au quartier du Rialto''' C'était une rude bataille, et il vous a fallu de longues heures de récupération avant de pouvoir poursuivre l'exploration du quartier.
*078 / '''La garde en déroute''' À présent que vous avez réussi à chasser les gardes, vous avez tout le loisir d'observer plus attentivement les azulejos de cette tour.
*079 / '''Coffret de marchand''' Un de vos indicateurs vous a signalé que ce marchand possédait des fragments du tableau. Peut-être dans ce coffret ?
*080 / '''Énigme résolue !''' Bravo ! Vous avez percé le mystère de ce tableau et avez obtenu une indication précieuse. Mais à présent, comment utiliser la matrice pour découvrir le secret que Leonardo vous a légué ?
*081 / '''Crocheter la serrure : échec !''' Vous n'avez pas employé le bon crochet. Tout est à recommencer et vous avez perdu du temps à attendre que le coffret ne soit pas surveillé. '''Retournez à la carte 154'''
*082 / '''Secret révélé à Rome''' Vous avez résolu le mystère que Leonardo vous avait laissé à Rome ! Vous accédez à un compartiment secret derrière la surface du plafond, et vous découvrez là une étrange feuille quadrillée, accompagnée d'une note qui vous donne des indications sur la suite de vos pérégrinations. '''Munissez-vous de la feuille quadrillée « Carte d'Europe ».'''
*083 / '''Crocheter la serrure : échec !''' Vous n'avez pas employé le bon crochet. Tout est à recommencer et cette porte est particulièrement retorse. '''Retournez à la carte 1'''
*084 / '''Truands en déroute''' Les truands sont en déroute ! À la première goutte de sang versée, ils ont fui. La vieille dame et le garçon vous expriment leur reconnaissance et chacun vous propose ses services. Vous pouvez recruter l'un d'entre eux.
*085 / '''Dialogue avorté''' Vous avez beau essayer d'aborder les passants avec douceur, ils se méfient de vous. Sans doute ont-ils un peu trop souvent affaire à des Assassins par ici : leur méfiance est en éveil.
*086 / '''Secret révélé à Venise''' Vous avez résolu le mystère que Leonardo vous avait laissé à Venise ! Vous trouvez, glissée à la page suivante de l'ouvrage imprimé par Manuce, une étrange feuille quadrillée, et une note qui vous donne des indications sur la suite de vos pérégrinations. '''Munissez-vous de la feuille quadrillée « Carte d'Europe ».'''
*087 / '''Énigme résolue !''' Bravo ! Vous avez percé le mystère du blason de Bayard, et dès que vous l'avez reconstitué sur le panneau amovible, une porte escamotée s'ouvre non loin pour vous laisser le passage vers un escalier qui s'enforce vers le sous-sol.
*088 / '''Enquête dans la Tour''' Maintenant que vous avez réussi à pénétrer dans la tour, vous pouvez y chercher des indices du passage de Vasco.
*089 / '''Fragment de tableau''' Leonardo savait que vous viendriez ici, parmi les ruines de l'ancienne demeure  d'Ezio. Un fragment du tableau y a été dissimulé, mais vous ne l'avez trouvé qu'après de longues recherches.
*090 / '''Cochon mignon''' Vous avez beau passer un moment à examiner ce cochon nain sous toutes les coutures, aucun indice flagrant ne vous saute aux yeux. Vous décidez de le blottir dans vos bras pendant quelques heures, au cas où.
*091 / '''Accès aux cellules''' Voilà qui est fait. Après avoir récupéré votre condition physique - mais aussi les clés sur le corps du chef de la garde - vous aurez tout loisir pour interroger ces deux prisonniers.
*092 / '''Secret révélé à Florence''' Vous avez résolu le mystère que Leonardo vous avait laissé à Florence ! Vous trouvez dans le tombeau une étrange feuille quadrillée, et une note qui vous donne des indications sur la suite de vos pérégrinations. '''Munissez-vous de la feuille quadrillée « Carte d'Europe ».'''
*093 / '''Crocheter la serrure : échec !''' Vous n'avez pas employé le bon crochet. Tout est à recommencer et vous avez perdu du temps à attendre que le coffret ne soit pas surveillé. '''Retournez à la carte 79'''
*094 / '''Suivre le médecin''' Le passage d'un médecin à l'air empressé à cet endroit de la ville a mis vos sens en éveil. Vous décidez de le prendre en filature pendant quelques temps et remarquez qu'il fréquente régulièrement un hôpital, excentré par rapport au centre-ville.
*095 / '''Autel''' Vous tentez un moment de prier pour faire avancer votre enquête, mais rien ne se passe.
*096 / '''Document secret''' Vous avez mis un long moment à déchiffrer ces termes jargonneux, mais voici l'information principale : Thomas More semble être enfermé dans un bâtiment situé sur une ligne entre Legge's Mount et Develin Tower.
*097 / (Action ESCALADER) '''Akiko (acrobate)''' Vous libérez Akiko aussitôt après l'avoir achetée. Elle fait un gros effort pour s'exprimer dans votre langue. « Je vous dois ma vie. Je veux suivre et aider. Je sais grimper, escalader partout. Demandez-moi. »
*098 / '''Fragment de schéma''' [Image]
*099 / '''Crocheter la serrure : échec !''' Vous n'avez pas employé le bon crochet. Tout est à recommencer et vous avez perdu du temps à attendre que le coffret ne soit pas surveillé. '''Retournez à la carte 154'''
*100 / '''Groupes d'étudiants''' Vous passez un long moment à vous mêler aux étudiants, à épier les conversations et tout ce qui a trait à l'emprisonnement de sir Thomas More. Vous recueillez des informations sur les bâtiments de la Tour de Londres, auprès d'un spécialiste en urbanisme.
*101 / '''Coffre en bois laqué''' Vous venez d'entendre ce marchand se vanter d'avoir percé le secret du retable mythique ''Le Jardin des délices'', conservé à Bruxelles, mais il semble garder jalousement cette information.
*102 / '''Assassinat du surveillant''' Vous ne serez jamais pleinement libre de vos mouvements en ce lieu décisif si vous ne vous débarrassez pas du surveillant. Après une fine observation de ses gardes, vous plongez pour l'éliminer. Vous trouvez aussi sur lui une étrange reproduction d'une scène bien connue.
*103 / '''Fragment d'anagramme''' [Picture of the letters "NUEL" mirrored horizontally on a brick background]
*104 / '''Prisonnier libéré''' Ce prisonnier devait vraiment être à bout. Il s'enfuit en pleurant aussitôt que vous l'avez libéré. '''Retournez à la carte 91'''
*105 / Toute la garde de la Tour de Londres vous fait face, et on ne va pas se mentir, ils sont trop nombreux pour vous. Il va falloir trouver une astuce : choisissez bien où frapper !
*106 / '''Des azulejos ?''' La présence d'azulejos ici est singulière. En y regardant de plus près, certains des dessins vous semblent familiers.
*107 / '''Fragment de fresque''' [Picture of the "The Fall and Expulsion from Paradise" section of the Sistine Chapel's ceiling frescoes by Michelangelo]
*108 / '''Assassinat du frère hiéronymite''' Maintenant débarrassé de toute présence parasite, vous avez tout le loisir d'examiner la pièce.
*109 / '''Dessin de la machine de navigation''' Voici à quoi cette machine doit ressembler à la fin. Mais si on n'y associe pas les dernières pièces commandées par Leonardo, ça ne pourra pas fonctionner.
*110 / '''Fragment de tableau''' [Picture of bottom left section of ''Annunciation'' by Leonardo da Vinci]
*111 / '''Entretien avec Holbein''' « Les thèses de Luther, dites-vous... Mon fils et moi luttons à notre manière contre cette Réforme de l'Église. En tant qu'artistes peintres, notre contribution consiste à glisser nos revendications dans certaines de nos toiles. »
*112 / Vous passez un long moment à examiner cette flaque d'eau, et votre verdict est sans appel : c'est bien de l'eau, et ce Château d'eau devrait bien être un Château d'eau. Une avancée décisive.
*113 / '''Porte de l'intendance''' Selon la plaque gravée, c'est ici l'intendance du Mausolée. Si des objets décisifs ont été interceptés par les autorités papales, il y a de bonnes chances de les trouver à cet endroit.
*114 / '''Négociations''' Vous avez beau prendre un moment pour fournir un bel argumentaire aux gardes en vue de les convaincre de vous céder le passage, vous n'arrivez à rien. Le combat semble inévitable.
*115 / '''Porte de la tour''' Il y a du bruit à l'intérieur : quelqu'un semble enfermé et appelle à l'aide.
*116 / '''L'acteur''' Vous tentez de déclamer quelques vers de votre composition, mais vous n'obtenez qu'un ballet de regards gênés.
*117 / '''Manuscrits trouvés''' Vous ne comprenez pas grand chose au sujet de ce livre, mais vous vous attardez un moment sur les indications inscrites sur une reproduction du retable qui vous intéresse tant.
*118 / '''Fragment de carte''' [Picture of a section of the world map, featuring part of the coast of Africa and India bordered by the Indian Ocean. On it, a route is drawn coming from the {{Wiki|Cape of Good Hope}} and following along the coast of Africa in the fashion of {{Wiki|cabotage}} navigation, reaching Mombassa before heading to Calicut and then upwards, out of the image]
*119 / '''Filature de l'intendant''' C'est ce qui vous semblait : l'homme que vous avez suivi tient le registre des affaires qui inquiètent le plus les doges. Le sujet délicat du moment semble être l'impression d'ouvrages licencieux par les techniques modernes de typographie.
*120 / '''Un tortionnaire''' On vous avait signalé qu'un des prêtres de cette église ne recueillait les orphelins que pour mieux défouler sur eux sa hargne. Vous le prenez sur le fait ! Vous ne pouvez tolérer un tel comportement.
*121 / '''Conseil d'Alessio''' « Le fonctionnement de ce panneau semble clair : pour ouvrir la voie vers un lieu caché, il faut reconstituer le blason du maître des lieux, probablement le chevalier Bayard. Reconstituez le blason, et trouvez à quels chiffres des deux tableaux renvoient ses différents éléments. »
*122 / '''Vieillard''' « Leonardo savait que vous viendriez ici. Il m'a donné ça pour vous. » Il vous tend une reproduction d'une scène biblique.
*123 / '''Erreur sur la personne''' Non, c'est clairement une erreur. Cet étudiant ne voit pas du tout de quoi vous voulez parler.
*124 / '''Atelier de Alde Manuce''' Vous avez résolu le mystère que Leonardo vous avait laissé à Venise. Vous pénétrez dans l'atelier pour vous adresser au maître typographe en personne.
*125 / '''« Réfléchissez... »''' Le charlatan vous adresse un grand sourire, en même temps qu'une petite feuille de papier.<br>« Bravo, vous avez de l'astuce. Vous avez mérité que je vous en donne une. »
*126 / '''Bataille contre Bayard''' Avant que vous ayez eu le temps d'engager la conversation, le chevalier Bayard s'est jeté sur vous, prêt à attaquer.
*127 / '''Un mendiant bien informé''' Vous interrogez le vieillard au sujet de Pierre Taillard. <br>« Il s'agit du chevalier Bayard bien sûr. Tout ce que je peux vous dire, c'est que son blason est orné d'un animal qui le représente tout entier : un lion rouge. »
*128 / '''Escalader les murailles''' Pour pénétrer dans les bureaux des officiers, il faudra se lancer dans une ascension périlleuse.
*129 / '''Indications énigmatiques''' Le prêtre a visiblement pris des notes, dont la teneur vous échappe un peu. [Picture of a book with a note saying "Fruits du monastère -> fraises Enfants de la laie -> marcassins Croissez/multipliez/retranchez -> + x -"]
*130 / '''Conseil d'Alessio''' « Vasco a donc bien élu résidence dans les environs de Lisbonne. Reste à trouver lequel de ces villages il a choisi pour sa retraite. Il faudrait des informations sur le trajet qu'il a suivi, mais je suis aussi persuadé que les distances entre Lisbonne et ces villages ont leur importance. »
*131 / Un panneau incrusté au mur sous cette alcôve discrète semble devoir être manipulé pour révéler un mécanisme secret. '''Munissez-vous du mini-plateau Énigme 4'''
*132 / '''Erreur sur la personne''' Non, c'est clairement une erreur. Cet étudiant ne voit pas du tout de quoi vous voulez parler.
*133 / '''Matrice''' Après une journée de fouille dans le bric-à-brac de l'ancien atelier de Leonardo, vous découvrez une tablette d'argile, qui semble devoir accueillir plusieurs éléments à associer et combiner dans un certain ordre. '''Munissez-vous du mini-plateau Énigme 3'''
*134 / '''Fragment de carte''' [Picture of a section of the world map, featuring part of the coast of Africa bordered by the Atlantic Ocean. On it, a route is drawn coming from north, before heading towards the {{Wiki|Cape of Good Hope}}, the southern section of the continent, and continuing eastward, out of the image]
*135 / '''Soldat en permission''' Cet officier, légèrement ivre, pourrait être une bonne source d'information si vous orientez la conversation dans la bonne direction.
*136 / '''Affronter les gardes''' Avant de pouvoir interroger les prisonniers, il va falloir se résoudre à affronter la garde : choisissez judicieusement par où attaquer.
*137 / '''Registre''' Ce registre pourrait être précieux il indique les distances qui séparent Lisbonne de tous les principaux villages environnants.
*138 / '''Fragment de tableau''' [Picture of top left section of ''Annunciation'' by Leonardo da Vinci]
*139 / '''Combat contre les gardes''' Pour pénétrer dans le Palais, il faudra en découdre avec la garde, puis faire profil bas pendant un moment : par où faut-il attaquer ?
*140 / Un des documents retient votre attention. Le mot « Vasco » y a été écrit, et il représente par ailleurs un plan de Lisbonne et des ses environs. Le lieu de retraite de l'explorateur y figure-t-il ? '''Munissez-vous du mini-plateau Énigme 9'''
*141 / '''Fragment d'anagramme''' [Picture of the letters "CE" mirrored horizontally on a light grey background]
*142 / '''Fragment de carte''' [Picture of a section of the world map, featuring part of Southern Europe and North Africa. On it, a route is drawn starting from Lisbon and continuing southwards, out of the image]
*143 / '''Fragment de message''' Du Paradis à la Terre croissez et multipliez parvenus en Enfer vous vous retrancherez
*144 / '''Panneau commerçant''' Ce panneau est une aide à l'orientation pour le visiteurs qui cherchent à entrer en contact avec certaines corporations bien spécialisées.
*145 / '''Fragment des thèses de Luther''' '''13.''' La mort délie de tout. '''14.''' Une piété incomplète donne nécessairement une grande crainte au mourant. '''24.''' La promesse de la rémission des peines trompe la majeure partie du peuple.
*146 / '''Escalade de la Tour de Londres''' En grimpant jusqu'au plus haut sommet, vous pourrez avoir une vue d'ensemble de la Tour de Londres et élaborer un meilleur plan d'action pour délivrer sir More.
*147 / '''Fragment de fresque''' [Picture of the "The Flood" section of the Sistine Chapel's ceiling frescoes by Michelangelo]
*148 / '''Inscription''' Ces marques sont caractéristiques des anciennes inscriptions de la Confrérie. Manifestement, on a voulu symboliser  que l'emplacement des différents Châteaux d'eau de la ville a une signification précise.
*149 / L'inscription semble ancienne et a été recouverte par la poussière de gravats, mais on devine des lettres gravées dans la pierre. Essayons de les dégager. '''Munissez-vous du mini-plateau Énigme 2.
*150 / '''Filature de député''' Ce député doit être en charge des questions urbanistiques : il vous a mené jusqu'au bureau du cadastre. Il y a justement des documents sur la Tour de Londres, c'est l'occasion d'y jeter un œil.
*151 / '''Porte de la ferme''' Pour pénétrer dans cette enceinte privée, il faut commencer par déverrouiller cette porte. Pas une mince affaire : elle semble vraiment blindée !
*152 / '''Escalade du plafond''' Vous passez un long moment à étudier les meilleurs moyen - et si possible, les moins périlleux - de vous rapprocher du plafond et d'avoir le loisir de l'examiner de plus près.
*153 / '''Une discussion sans paroles''' Vous avez beau suivre discrètement ce religieux, en vous montrant subtilement au moment où la situation le permet, il ne semble pas libre de converser avec vous. Toutefois, à plusieurs reprises, il vous montre un vitrail en particulier.
*154 / '''Crochetage de la porte''' Cette porte latérale semble pouvoir être crochetée pour pénétrer incognito dans la basilique.
*155 / '''Stands de la foire''' Cette foire permet à des exposants de tour horizons de présenter leurs merveilles au public : animaux, objets, découvertes et techniques modernes... il y a une telle variété de curiosités que la visite vous demande beaucoup de temps.
*156 / '''Fragment de blason''' [picture of an "Old French" escutcheon]
*157 / '''Escalade de la cathédrale''' Vous avez aperçu quelque chose d'intéressant dans le compartiment juste sous la flèche de la cathédrale. Pour l'atteindre, pas le choix : il faut grimper.
*158 / '''Ascension du Colisée''' Il vous semble avoir aperçu une personne étrange juchée au sommet de la plus haute travée du Colisée. Comment l'atteindre?
*159 / '''Fragment de message''' [Picture of a section of the left panel from Hieronymus Bosch's "The Garden of Earthly Delights", with the message "Au Paradis étaient les enfants de la laie" written on it]
*160 / '''Viens voir les comédiens''' Vous vous faites passer pour un figurant quelques jours, et intégrez la troupe sans éveiller les soupçons. Le metteur en scène, Gil Vicente, est l'un des plus grands hommes de théâtre du Portugal. Peut-être saura-t-il quelque chose au sujet d'un de ses illustres contemporains?
*161 / '''Affronter les gardes''' Vous ne pourrez pas examiner tranquillement les azulejos de cette tour militaire tant que vous n'aurez pas mis la garde en déroute.
*162 / '''Fragment de tableau''' [Picture of bottom right section of ''Annunciation'' by Leonardo da Vinci]

*165 / '''Fragment de blason''' [picture of a red heraldic lion]
*166 / '''Escalade de la cathédrale''' Quelque chose a été placardé contre une paroi du compartiment juste sous la flèche de la cathédrale. Pour l'atteindre, pas le choix : il faut grimper.
*167 / '''Assassinat du commandant de la garde''' Il vous a fallu du temps pour suivre le commandant, noter ses habitudes, ses points faibles... Cette fois, il est dans votre ligne de mire, et vous pourrez bientôt accéder aux quartiers des officiers.
*168 / '''Secret révélé à Séville''' Magellan, le visage béat à l'idée d'équiper la fabuleuse machine de Leonardo sur son navire, vous tend un papier translucide, dernier indice sur la route de votre Havre. '''Munissez-vous de la feuille Longitude 2.'''

*170 / '''Fragment d'anagramme''' [Picture of the letters "DA" mirrored horizontally on a brick background]

*176 / '''Fragment de fresque''' [Picture of the "Creation of Adam" section of the Sistine Chapel's ceiling frescoes by Michelangelo]
*177 / '''Rencontre avec Erasme''' Vous reconnaissez le « grand voyageur » : il s'agit du philosophe humaniste Erasme.<br>« Vous m'avez trouvé. Fort bien. Mais cela ne me dit en rien que Leonardo a eu raison de placer sa confiance en vous. Prouvez-moi que vous avez su déchiffrer ''Le Jardin des délices'', ou partez. »
*178 / '''Fragment de schéma''' [Image]

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>
*Augsbourg
**Augsbourg résonne des thèses audacieuses que Martin Luther, théologien dissident, a fait placarder sur les portes de toutes les églises pour encourager la Réforme du catholicisme. Habituellement, la Confrérie ne se soucie guère de la religion, mais cette fois c'est différent : parmi les 95 thèses de Luther, il y en a une qui pourrait correspondre au credo des Assassins. A vous de trouver laquelle, et d'en référer au principal intéressé. - Leonardo

**S'il est bien un artiste, parmi mes collègues et concurrents, que je considère comme un génie, c'est le fameux Jérôme Bosch. Il est mort il y a quelques années, mais son plus célèbre tableau, Le Jardin des délices, lui a survécu, et il est désormais conservé à Bruxelles. Ce tableau est la clé du secret que je dissimule dans cette ville. Peut-être aurez-vous besoin de l'aide d'un de mes camarades, grand voyageur, que vous trouverez vers la Grand'Place. - Leonardo

*Grenoble
**À Grenoble, je dois vous mettre en contact avec un camarade de confiance, qui est aussi le maître des lieux : Pierre Taillard, dit « Bayard », un chevalier sans peur et sans reproche qui a adoubé François 1<sup>er</sup> - un jeune homme surprenant qui m'a pris sous sa protection. Imaginez un peu, couronné en janvier 1515 à l'âge de 20 ans ! Mais Bayard est un homme méfiant, qui ne se laissera pas approcher si facilement.

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"/>

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"/>

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"/>

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"/>

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"/>

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"/>

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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"/>

|-|Briefing=
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"/>

*'''Hint:''' ''Trouvez et scannez ce symbole pour synchroniser votre logiciel et démarrer vos recherches.''
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"/>

*'''finish_game_balise:''' ''Parfait ! Votre Animus a reconstitué un nouveau fragment d'ADN. On dirait qu'il s'assemble avec le premier… Trouvez les autres !''


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"/>

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'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>
*'''subtitle:''' ''Félicitations !  Vous avez trouvé l’artefact ! C’est un crâne de cristal.

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>

Retrouvez cette maquette sans plus tarder ! Vous l’avez déjà croisée dans le musée.''


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>

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>

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"/>

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>

*'''Hint:''' ''Alignez le fragment de mémoire avec le blason suisse.''
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>

===[[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"/>

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"/>

*'''Sync Hint:''' ''Alignez le fragment de mémoire avec la statue de la place.''
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>

'''Cons:''' ''L’Animus bugge… Reconstituez la statue pour rejoindre la séquence mémorielle suivante.''
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>

'''Aide:''' ''Cliquez sur un morceau de statue et glissez votre doigt pour le faire tourner.''


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"/>
*'''Hint:''' ''Visez le sol pour synchroniser l'Animus.''


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>
'''End:''' ''Trouvez Le Nôtre au Jardin des Tuileries !''


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"/>
|-|06=
*'''Hint:''' ''Alignez le fragment de mémoire avec le buste de Le Nôtre.''


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"/>
'''End:''' ''On a récupéré le plan des Tuileries de 1664 ! Il y a eu quelques changements depuis...''


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"/>
*'''Hint:''' ''Alignez le fragment de mémoire avec la statue d’Hermès.''


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"/>
*'''Hint:'''''Alignez le fragment de mémoire avec la colonne de gauche.''


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.

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"/>
*'''Hint:''' ''Visez le sol pour synchroniser l'Animus.''


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"/>
'''End:''' ''Dirigez-vous vers l’élément représenté par la frise.''


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"/>
*'''Hint:''' ''Visez la borne pour synchroniser l'Animus.''


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"/>
'''Senka:''' ''Vous avez percé à jour les derniers secrets du bureau et de l'Armoire de Fer de Louis XVI !

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"/>
*'''Fail:''' ''Ce n’est pas la bonne clé. Essayez la deuxième.''


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"/>
*'''Hint:''' ''Alignez le fragment de mémoire avec vos pieds.''


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"/>
|-|City - Assassin=


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"/>

app_demo_dialog_txt_01;string;Nous faisons appel à vous aujourd’hui pour une tâche bien particulière. La société Abstergo a des raisons de penser qu’un <b>trésor</b> est enfoui quelque part sous la ville de Lens.

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"/>

app_help_map_wp01_title;string;01 - Allée des Corons
app_help_map_wp01_description;string;Les Corons sont d’anciennes habitations de mineurs, aujourd’hui modernisées. Il pourrait y avoir quelque chose d’utile là-bas.
app_help_map_wp02_title;string;02 - Stade Bollaert
app_help_map_wp02_description;string;Le stade sportif Bollaert-Delelis est un autre endroit historique de Lens, c’est un endroit qui peut valoir le détour.
app_help_map_wp03_title;string;03 - La Faculté des Sciences
app_help_map_wp03_description;string;Les anciens bureaux de la société des mines étaient situés dans la structure qui accueille à présent la Faculté des Sciences de l'université d'Artois. Des archives pourraient encore y être ?
app_help_map_wp04_title;string;04 - Église saint léger
app_help_map_wp04_description;string;L'église Saint-Léger est un monument emblématique de Lens. Détruite pendant la Première Guerre mondiale, elle a dû être reconstruite. Il peut être intéressant d’y jeter un œil.
app_help_map_wp05_title;string;05 - Office de tourisme Lens-Liévin
app_help_map_wp05_description;string;Il y a beaucoup d’autres lieux historiques dans la région, mais tous les visiter risque de prendre du temps… Passez voir l’office de tourisme pour tenter de réduire le rayon de recherche.
app_help_map_wp06_title;string;06 - La Gare ferroviaire
app_help_map_wp06_description;string;La gare ferroviaire de Lens est un point de transit important : il y a certainement quelque chose de notable là-bas.
app_index_map_title_wp00;string;01 - La cité et sa fosse
app_index_map_description_wp00;string;La cité numéro 9 concentrait les travailleurs de la fosse avoisinante. Des années plus tard, le Louvre-Lens est érigé au-dessus du puits de mine.<br><br><i>L’installation du musée à cet endroit précis était symbolique, mais peut-être que l'ancien puits recèle encore un secret ?</i>
app_index_map_title_wp01;string;02 - Une équipe, un stade
app_index_map_description_wp01;string;Pour occuper ses travailleurs suite à la fermeture d’exploitations, la société des mines missionna ses hommes de construire leur propre stade. <br><br><i>Dans sa recherche du trésor, Abstergo a coopéré avec la société des mines pour fouiller la région. Le stade, comme d’autres bâtiments, ont servi de couverture pendant ces recherches. Mais Mulio s'en est apparemment rendu compte pour réduire sa zone d'investigation.</i>
app_index_map_title_wp02;string;03 - La Faculté des Sciences
app_index_map_description_wp02;string;Rien n’a été laissé au hasard dans l’architecture des anciens bureaux de la société des mines de Lens : son nombre de lucarnes, les petites fenêtres du toit, est égal au nombre de fosses exploitées.<br><br><i>D’après les documents, un ancien mineur de ces registres qui travaillait à la fosse n°9 serait l’aïeul de Mulio. Ce n’est peut-être pas une coïncidence.</i>
app_index_map_title_wp03;string;04 - La destruction de Lens
app_index_map_description_wp03;string;La Première Guerre mondiale et son lot de bombardements mirent à terre plus de 98% des structures de la ville de Lens, qui mis plusieurs années à se reconstruire.<br><br><i>Lors de la reconstruction de la ville d'après-guerre, Abstergo a prétexté aider aux travaux pour sonder le centre-ville, le tout sous couverture. Ces recherches ont permis de réduire la liste des endroits où le trésor pouvait être enfoui.</i>
app_index_map_title_wp04;string;05 - Une destination culturelle
app_index_map_description_wp04;string;Depuis 2008, Lens-Liévin a obtenu le label Pays d’art et d’histoire, une reconnaissance de la richesse de son patrimoine local. Ce dispositif participe à la valorisation du patrimoine, des paysages, de la qualité architecturale et du cadre de vie. <br><br><i>L’Office de tourisme est incollable sur la région et son histoire. C’est une source d’informations fiable pour préparer tous types de projets. Et ces renseignements ont sûrement servi à Mulio dans ses propres recherches.</i>
app_index_map_title_wp05;string;06 - Une gare sur pistons
app_index_map_description_wp05;string;La forme de la gare évoque celle d’une locomotive, illustrant l’influence Art déco durant la reconstruction de la ville d'après-guerre. Les fondations ont bénéficié de vérins hydrauliques afin de compenser les mouvements de terrain.<br><br><i>Les analyses de l'Animus révèlent que le sous-sol de la gare s'est affaissé suite à l'utilisation récente des galeries souterraines. D'importantes quantités de ressources ont été transportées ainsi, s’agissait-il du trésor ?</i>

app_end_city_wp02;string;Bravo, vous avez reconstitué le blason. Mulio a découvert que la construction du stade, ordonnée par la société des mines, n’était <b>qu’un motif</b> pour acquérir et <b>explorer davantage de sous-sols</b> dans les environs...
app_end_city_wp03;string;Beau travail, vous avez maintenant accès aux archives ! D’après ce document, Mulio est <b>un descendant d’un ancien mineur</b> qui travaillait au Puits n°9… Et aujourd’hui, il semble être en contact avec la Confrérie des Assassins… ce n’est peut-être pas une coïncidence.
app_end_city_wp04;string;Remarquable, vous avez atteint la date de la destruction de l'Église.

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>

app_end_museum_wp07;string;Excellent ! Sous la surface du disque se trouvait une gravure ancienne. Il s’agit d’un indice vers l’étape suivante. Au vu de la complexité du système de protection, le secret de Mulio ne serait-il pas lié au <b>Trésor des Templiers</b> ?

app_end_museum_wp09;string;Bien joué ! Vous avez corrigé les anomalies de la mosaïque : les morceaux obtenus sont issus d’une toute autre œuvre. En y réfléchissant bien, le trésor n'est probablement pas caché à la surface : serait-il donc <b>encore sous terre</b> ?
app_location_museum_wp10;string;Ces morceaux proviennent de panneaux typiques de l’art oriental du XVe siècle.

app_help_museum_wp11;string;Ciblez durant quelques secondes chaque élément qui diffère de l'œuvre originale.
app_end_museum_wp11;string;Bien observé, vous avez trouvé toutes les différences ! Dans tous les cas, notre seul moyen de nous rendre sous terre serait de trouver l'<b>entrée d'une galerie</b>. Où pourrait-elle être <b>cachée dans le musée</b> ? Peut-être que cette étrange fleur que vous avez trouvée indique la voie.
app_location_museum_wp12;string;Cette fleur provient d’une œuvre Turque à motifs floraux. Orientez vos recherches aux alentours de 1600 après J.C.
app_instruction_museum_wp12;string;Des fleurs ont été générées sur cette mosaïque. Coupez-les pour accéder à ce qui se cache dessous. Attention aux autres oeuvres !

app_end_museum_wp13;string;Jolis réflexes ! Vous avez récupéré une lettre de Mirabeau qui confirme la présence du <b>trésor</b> dans la région ! Mulio en aurait-il informé la <b>Confrérie</b> ? Elle est marquée d'un sceau Napoléonien, essayez peut-être de retrouver son propriétaire...

app_instruction_museum_wp14_2;string;Éclairez le passage et progressez dans la galerie… Vous pouvez vous approcher du tableau au besoin !
app_instruction_museum_wp14_3;string;Retrouvez les chiffres cachés dans votre index afin de venir à bout du verrou !
app_instruction_museum_wp14_4;string;L'Animus réagit, récupérez le trésor !
app_help_museum_wp14_1;string;Enroulez la toile pour ouvrir le chemin.
app_help_museum_wp14_2;string;Observez bien les textes de votre index. Certaines 'erreurs' n'en sont pas vraiment...
app_end_museum_wp14;string;Les capteurs de l’Animus confirment qu’une partie du <b>Trésor des Templiers</b> à été entreposée dans cette structure antique.

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"/>

''La disparition de l’empire d’Akkad, comme beaucoup de royaumes, met en évidence de possibles causes multifactorielles : événement climatique bouleversant, invasions, soulèvements…<br><br><i>La statuette semble être un verrou lié à un système de protection informatique. Il serait risqué de vouloir forcer le passage au risque de détruire des indices majeurs, aussi va-t-il falloir remonter la piste minutieusement.</i>''


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]]===
|-|03=
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>
;03 - Le protecteur de la cité
''L’homme-taureau coiffé d’une tiare a un rôle de protecteur contre les forces du mal, tandis que le palmier symbolise la fertilité avec ses fruits tombants et ses rameaux rayonnants.<br><br><i>Ces panneaux cachaient une reproduction d’une œuvre monumentale du musée. L'objectif de ce système est probablement de protéger quelque chose d'inhabituel, voire même de phénoménal...</i>''


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"/>

;04 - La dissociation de l’obélisque de Louxor
''L'obélisque de Louxor fut rapatrié par Champollion en France. Pour des raisons morales, sa base exhibant les parties génitales des babouins fût dissociée du reste de l'œuvre, mais la colonne principale n’est autre que le célèbre obélisque de la Place de la Concorde.<br><br><i>Comme cette sculpture amuse les visiteurs, Mulio en a profité pour y dissimuler un autre verrou sans que personne ne s’en doute. Il reste encore à comprendre comment il a pu mettre en place un tel système sans éveiller les soupçons du musée.</i>''


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"/>

;05 - Le vase funéraire
''Ces vases marquaient les t<b>0</b>mbes des défunts et permettaient de recueillir les offrandes alimentaires qui leur étaient faites, mais aussi à narrer par ses illustrations le rite funéraire.<br><br><i>Ils ne contenaient ni arme ni effets personnels du défunt, aussi la présence d’un bonnet phrygien est un indice évident sur la protection suivante. En revanche, un badge d'employé falsifié a été retrouvé : cela expliquerait la capacité de Mulio à se déplacer librement dans le musée…</i>''


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"/>
|-|06=
;06 - Le sacrifice du taureau
''Ce superbe relief représente Mithra, dieu du soleil Iranien, en train de sacrifier un taureau. Son bonnet phrygien et son pantalon iranien soulignent son origine orientale. Le culte de Mithra apparaît à Rome à la fin du Ier siècle après J.C. et sa fête est célébrée le jour de Noël. C’est cette date que choisiront les Chrétiens au IVe siècle pour célébrer la naissance du Christ.<br><br><i>Le relief était lié à une protection plutôt résistante, il a fallu utiliser un disque de marbre pour la surmonter. Les protections s’enfoncent profondément dans la Galerie du temps, on peut donc soupçonner la présence d’un trésor…</i>''


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"/>

;07 - Athlète en préparation
''Cette statue est la copie romaine d’une version grecque aujourd’hui perdue. Elle ornait probablement le jardin d’une villa ou des thermes. Les reconstitutions pourraient recréer parfaitement ces œuvres, mais les marquages montrent aussi le parcours de chacune d’entre d’elles à travers les âges : ils font partie intégrante de leur vie.<br><br><i>Le disque de la statue nous a révélé une gravure. Bien que nous progressions, les choses sont encore floues : est-ce que c'est vraiment le Trésor des Templiers que Mulio a caché ?</i>''


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>

;08 - La stèle réemployée
''Originellement, cette dalle funéraire était un relief architectural, provenant probablement d’un temple. Sur la face opposée aux inscr<b>1</b>ptions sont représentés Isis et Sérapis avec leur fils Harpocrate.<br><br><i>Nous avons maintenant une pièce de monnaie virtuelle à disposition. Dans tous les cas, quelque soit ce trésor, la question est la même : où pourrait-il être caché ?</i>''


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"/>

;09 - Le bassin de la fontaine
''Retrouvée en Tunisie, cette mosaïque ornait probablement le fond d’un bassin. Elle met en scène des Amours, enfants ailés, jouant avec des poissons dans un environnement marin.<br><br><i>Les irrégularités de la fontaine ont été corrigées et la mosaïque à retrouvé son aspect original, nous pouvons continuer. En y réfléchissant, le trésor pourrait difficilement être resté en surface sans être découvert : il est plus probable qu'il soit encore quelque part sous terre.</i>''


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>

;10 - Les panneaux à motifs
''Ces deux panneaux faits de bois et d’ivoire ont été vraisemblablement réencadrés au XIXe siècle. Ce type de marqueterie était couramment employé pour le mobilier dans l’Égypte des Mamelouk.<br><br><i>De façon surprenante, cette œuvre en dissimulait une autre derrière ses panneaux. Le trésor pourrait bien être caché de la même manière... Ouvrons l'oeil.</i>''


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>

;11 - La déesse en armes
''Déesse romaine de la sagesse et de la guerre, Minerve jouit d’une grande popularité durant la Renaissance. Dans la mythologie grecque, vous la connaissez sûrement sous le nom d’Athéna.<br><br><i>Cette fois, l'œuvre virtuelle était tout simplement falsifiée, et la fleur est un bon indice pour trouver le verrou suivant. En tout cas, nous savons à présent que nous recherchons l’accès à une galerie souterraine.</i>''


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"/>
|-|12=
;12 - Le dernier repos du Sultan
''Ce panneau de revêtement mural a été réalisé par les ateliers d’Iznik pour orner le mau<b>2</b>olée du sultan Ottoman Selim II. Cette œuvre a été l’objet d’une soigneuse restauration : celle-ci est volontairement visible, et les yeux les plus attentifs remarqueront les carreaux les moins saturés.<br><br><i>L’apparition de fleurs numériques était surprenante mais celles-ci ne faisaient que bloquer l’accès à l’indice suivant. Il y a visiblement de plus en plus d'œuvres monumentales capables de masquer l'entrée d'une galerie !</i>''


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"/>

;13 - Buste du comte de Mirabeau
''Le portrait d’Honoré-Gabriel Riqueti a été réalisé par le sculpteur Jean-Antoine Houdon d’après les traits du comte. Ce buste présente une découpe plus courte que d’autres exemplaires, qui gardent généralement leurs bras.<br><br><i>La lettre récupérée mentionne bien le Trésor des Templiers, plus aucun doute n’est possible !

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>

;14 - La traversée de Napoléon Bonaparte
''Après son retour d’Égypte et le coup d’État du 18 Brumaire an VIII (9 novembre 1799) qui le fait Premier Consul, Bonaparte prend à Lyon la tête d’une armée et passe le col du Grand-Saint-Bernard pour affronter les Autrichiens en Italie. Ce tableau, toutefois, présente une autre version que celle habituellement enjolivée : au lieu de son grand cheval blanc, Napoléon chevauche ici une mule et est guidé par un montagnard pour passer le col.<br><br><i>Quoi de mieux que cet immense tableau emblématique pour dissimuler l’entrée d’un lieu oublié ?</i>''
</tabber>


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"/>

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"/>
====Yunyang====
 
<tabber>
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>
|-|Wu Cui=
 
''The elder of two brothers from the south who settled down in Yunyang many years ago. His demeanor is reminiscent of Wu Yue, making him seem out of place in Qin.''
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>
|-|Sima Pei=
 
''A carriage driver who came back with the Qin army after the wars of unification. It is said that he used to be a citizen of Chu. He loves to brag that he is a good judge of horses, he's not wrong.''
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"/>
|-|Duanmu Min=
 
''Once a Confucian scholar from Qi, he moved to Qin during the reign of King Zhuangxiang, serving as an official in Yunyang. Sometime after, he resign from his position and retreated into seclusion, choosing to join the Baiwen and search for treasure instead. To outsiders, he is a mere engraver.''
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 son of a concubine from an esteemed family, his original surname is not Huo. He is an excellent informer in Yunyang City, and his pigeons are so obedient that they can be commanded by anyone.''
==The Jesuits==
|-|Ding Ji=
===[[Francis Xavier]]===
''One of the best chefs in Yunyang City. His sauces are extremely tasty, and while he claims to be a peerless expert at butchering cows, a Qin law banning the slaughter of cows has prevented anyone from ever witnessing his skills firsthand.''
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>
|-|Yi=
''A hawjer of both necessities and certain luxuries. Enjoys a decent reputation among Yunyang citizens for his reasonable prices and plain dealing.''
</tabber>


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"/>
====Mohist Village====
''A cloistered village where Mohist scholars gather to observe their doctrines.''


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"/>
<tabber>
|-|Tan Songqiu=
''The Mohist who is most adept at procuring news and information. His dual identity as both a Mohist and a Qin soldier made him especially useful during the wars of unification.''
|-|Tian Cou=
''A former Mohist, he peacefully left Mohism to become Lao Ai's aide. After roaming from place to place, he eventually returned to his hometown, using his special status to become the Artifact Appraiser of the Mohist Village.''
|-|Sui He=
''A Mohist disciple whose hobby is cooking. Adept at making simple dishes out of common ingredients, he is also a devout follower of Mohism.''
|-|Fu Li=
''A craftsman who follows Mohism, he has been travelling abroad and preaching the teachings of Mohism for many years. After hearing about the Mohists' troubles, he rushed back from Shu and took on the majority of their smelting responsabilities.''
</tabber>


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"/>
==== Fushi City====
 
<tabber>
Xavier left in 1551, but soon there came more and more Jesuits.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 03"/>
|-|Jisun Cheng=
 
''A citizen of Lu who fled to Qin, it is said that he was once a high-ranking official during the Lu Buwei era. Today, he serves the Baiwen under the cover of anonimity, using the clan's influence to search for any traces of valuable treasure.''
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>
|-|Zhu Tao=
 
''Part of a business-oriented family local to Fushi, his father named him Zhu Tao for good luck. However, his business acumen is average at best, which is why he has no plans to expand the business.''
 
|-|Zhong=
===[[Gaspar Vilela]]===
''Honing his craft in the kitchens since childhood, he slowly worked his way up from a mere helper to a full-fledged chef. Zhong's two brothers died in the war [Missing part]''
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>
|-|Wang Chui=
''While he's failry unremarkable as a braftsman, he is adept at smelting common copper wares and ceremonial vessels.''
</tabber>


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]]===
;Southern Shangjun
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.

''The watchtowers south of the defensive line have seen a decline in importance since the Great Wall was built, but the Mt. Hei Garrison was built there to capitalize on its geographical advantages.''

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"/>

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"/>

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.

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"/>

Yasuke is recorded two years afterwards as having quite a good level of Japanese.

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"/>

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>

So once Nobunaga has control of Owari province, how does he then go about looking outward and beyond his own borders? Because his province is quite a small one comparatively as well, isn't it? Yes, so Owari is small, but it centers on a plane, the Nobuy plane, Japan is very mountainous, right? There's only a few large flat areas where cultivation can take place at large scale, and Owari happens to sit in one of these, the Nobuy plane. So while it's a small province, it's a particularly wealthy one in terms of agricultural income. So it's a good place to be based out of. It's far enough away from the capital that you're not in the middle of the intrigues and plots going on there, but it's close enough that you can get there if you decide to be part of those plots.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 05">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 5: Oda Nobunaga</ref>

when Emperor Kamu had the capital built there, one of the things he knew was that there was already in the northwest a mountain called Mount Hiei on which was a huge Buddhist temple.

And in the end, there was something like 3000 Buddhist temples up there, which was all an excellent thing for countering the unluckiness, except it became rather unlucky itself, because those Buddhist priests then came down and started rampaging around the city. And then, unluckily, Nobunaga had to go up and destroy the entire temple compound, which he did. He burnt down the whole lot.

Okay, that's really interesting question. So the first segment of the samurai rule, the samurai's so-called headquarters was in Kamakura that's currently Kamakura city near Tokyo. So the Tokyo city was not known at the time that Tokyo was a city yet, but the Kamakura was not known nationwide. So when the Kamakura rulership was going on and being consolidated, it's not that many people would know about the politics. So it's like say regional understandings of this is where Shogun lives and this is what Shogun does. [...] So around the first sort of segment of time, the very first samurai rules, I would say that not so many people would know about the politics. That will continue the middle segments of the samurai rule that we call usually medieval Japan. And then medieval Japan as well, this Kamakura headquarters of the samurai has been moved and taken by a different family.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 08">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 8: How To Fit In: Feudal Japan</ref>

Ōnin War, running from 1467 to 1477. Huge damage done to Kyoto in the process of this war. It begins as a kind of succession dispute within the shogunate, but an enormous proportion of Kyoto is destroyed in fire. Lots of these different warrior constables from around the country end up coming to the Kyoto region to get involved. When that war ends, some of them go back to their provinces to find that someone else has usurped them. And that's someone else who has usurped them, manages to solidify their own power until they become what we would call daimyo, this real independent warlord. And in other cases, the warrior constables, when they go back to their provinces, they're the ones who managed to do that. Because this war, this Onin War, this 10 year conflict, pretty much destroys the idea of a functional shogunate. And so there really is no one in Kyoto anymore that you have to answer to.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 01">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 1: Civil War in Feudal Japan: The Sengoku Period</ref>

So it's a period when central authority in Japan has completely gone. So you've still got the emperor in Kyoto, but as we were saying a moment ago, they're kind of impoverished and not really able to do very much politically or militarily. You've also still got a shogun in Kyoto. So if we go to the end of the Onin War, 1477, which is also pretty much the beginning of this Sengoku era, you've got a shogun there, but they're also extremely poor.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 01"/>

This is the exact period after the Onin War when the Ashikaga shogunate is descending really into complete impotence. Their writ doesn't run far outside Kyoto and they haven't got much income. So they simply couldn't afford to put the silver on there.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 01"/>

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">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 7: Kyoto: Japan's Imperial City</ref>

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"/>

The result of that was the whole society kind of fell apart. And a lot of the lords headed out to the provinces, partly because they were broke, because they'd had their houses burnt down. I mean, there are quite a lot of peasants and serfs could come out of the countryside into the city and recreate themselves as merchants or as artisans, because they could make things, they could sell things. And so a whole new culture grew from that period of incredible disaster.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 07"/>

===Battle of Okehazama [1560]===
Wiki noimage.jpg|
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">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 5: Oda Nobunaga</ref>

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"/>
 
===Siege of Kanegasaki (1570)===
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">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 5: Oda Nobunaga</ref>
 
===Battle of Anegawa===
The two sides meet in July of 1570 at the Battle of Anegawa, where Nobunaga was joined by his ally Tokugawa Iyasu. 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">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 5: Oda Nobunaga</ref>
 
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"/>
 
===Ishiyama Hongan-ji War [1570-1580]===
I suppose there's a really good example of siege warfare involving Oda Nobunaga. So in Japan, you have these different Buddhist sects and one of them, Ojoro Shinshu, was particularly powerful and particularly worrying for Oda Nobunaga because the people in this particular sect could be almost pitted out at the last minute to become a kind of pop-up army so that the patriarch, for want of a better word, of this particular sect could issue a statement against Oda Nobunaga as he did, declaring him an enemy and saying that people would be rewarded in the next life if they stand up against him. And the followers of this sect included some fairly wealthy merchants who could effectively equip themselves and feed themselves. So the danger of these pop-up armies appearing almost out of nowhere was extraordinary for Oda Nobunaga and he worried about it and he actually resented it very much. And so he launched a siege against the main compound in Osaka of the Jodo Shinshu sect, which lasted actually for a while. It wasn't entirely successful because Osaka, of course, is on the water and so the patriarch had allies, pirate Daimyo, I suppose you could call them, who for a while would supply the castle by sea. But Oda Nobunaga managed to defeat those pirates at sea and so after a while the Jodo Shinshu sect holed up in this fortified temple complex in Osaka had to give up. They did at the last minute, the sun, I think, of the patriarch, if I've got it right, when he was forced to come out, set fire to the place just before he came out on the basis that if the Jodo Shinshu sect cannot have that fortress anymore, then Oda Nobunaga certainly can't have it either.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 01">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 1: Civil War in Feudal Japan: The Sengoku Period</ref>
 
===Siege of Mount Hiei [1571]===
So there were quite remarkable sieges along the way, a company that has to be said, certainly in the case of someone like Nobunaga, with extraordinary slaughter. I think he particularly hated the idea that Buddhist sects would interfere in the running of the country. So there's another Buddhist sect, the Tendai sect, which he attacked on their mountain base called Mount Hiei, sent thousands of troops up there, killed everybody, burned everything, just destroyed the entire sect, including people unrelated to the sect who were living on the mountain. So this gives you an idea of how bloody and uncompromising some of this warfare could be.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 01">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 1: Civil War in Feudal Japan: The Sengoku Period</ref>
 
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">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 5: Oda Nobunaga</ref>
 
And of course, in addition to the human toll, which is horrific, this is a massive loss of life, but it's also a loss of culture, of history. This was a major religious complex. So it had important documents, texts, artwork that all went up in flames with the exception of one small building that got overlooked.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 05"/>
 
when Emperor Kamu had the capital built there, one of the things he knew was that there was already in the northwest a mountain called Mount Hiei on which was a huge Buddhist temple. So that therefore counteracted the unluckiness. That was very important. And then more Buddhist temples and more Buddhist temples were built on that same mountain. And in the end, there was something like 3000 Buddhist temples up there, which was all an excellent thing for countering the unluckiness, except it became rather unlucky itself, because those Buddhist priests then came down and started rampaging around the city. And then, unluckily, Nobunaga had to go up and destroy the entire temple compound, which he did. He burnt down the whole lot. But there are temples there again.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 07">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 7: Kyoto: Japan's Imperial City</ref>
 
===Shimabara Rebellion [1637-1638]===
in Kyushu where you have what's called the Shimabara rebellion 1637 to 1638 where basically a ragtag bunch of peasants with a little bit of samurai leadership managed to hold themselves up in a castle and fight off wave after wave of samurai who come in to try and pacify them and take the castle and it's extraordinarily embarrassing you know these samurai try everything they send ninjas into the castle they send spies in who get caught they try and dig tunnels under the castle but the people inside the castle fill the tunnels with feces and urine they try all sorts of things and it takes months and months and months and reinforcements to finally get this rebellion under control and the story that the Tokugawa tell after the Shimabara rebellion is that this was a case of foreign interference you know these people these peasants couldn't possibly hold off samurai unless they were somehow being supported and orchestrated by these nefarious foreign christian powers and so probably the last development in this long process of unification is the shutting down almost completely of Japan's borders they'll still deal with China and Korea at particular points within Japan they'll have that trade with Southeast Asia they'll have a limited trade as well but the Portuguese are thrown out the Spanish are thrown out the English aren't terribly interested 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">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 2: The Unification of Japan</ref>

===Iga ikki===
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">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 6: The Tensho Iga War</ref>
 
we have the names of a couple of the senior leaders, if you will, but it really was more of a collective than any hierarchical organization that we would associate with like there being a daimyo and samurai underneath him and so forth. That's not to say that there wasn't a hierarchy there was, but it's really hard to just name one person as an acting figure on the Iga side of things. And part of this is because of the way that they constructed it. This is born out of sort of the chaos resulting in the wake of the Onin War of 1467 to 1477.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 06"/>
 
In response to this as a way to limit internal conflict in their own ranks, in 1494 we see two documents. They're not quite constitutions in the way that we would think of it, but they kind of form the rules for local life within Iga as a community. The first one is a document signed by 350 commoners, peasants, villagers, and so forth. And it's an agreement to abide by specific rules that limit conflict over rice paddy land, access to forests, mountains, and fields, and it kind of gives a general code of conduct. So in the absence of authority coming from the center, they decide to create their own sort of rules for them to live by. And then later on that same year, we see another document signed by 46 people representing families of note from Iga Province.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 06"/>
 
So these 46 families sign an oath, vowing not to fight over taxes or the collection thereof to work together to prevent insubordination of the peasants underneath them. And these two groups form a united front in coordination to maintain local order and peace and limit the amount of violence, whether it's internal or whether it's coming from external sources like bandits or even larger warrior organizations like Daimyo from a neighboring province who wants to move in. [...] There is a hierarchy. There are the upper class. Those 46 samurai families are in charge and so forth. But it is much more of a collective, we driven organization than certainly the Daimyo houses that we are normally associated with this period. Other leagues like this have risen up in other places at this time, fairly common in the absence of central authority for locals to take measures to protect themselves. But most other places, they didn't last very long  [...] So it was much easier for the Iga Iki to keep outsiders out than it would have been for other similar organizations, which is why they lasted as long as they did.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 06"/>
 
Some advantages that the Iga ikki had. One is this long experience with unconventional warfare, we'll say. Another is that because of their makeup, it's not quite egalitarian or democratic in the way that we would think of it, but they're led by lower level warriors, localized power base holding warriors, but they integrate the commoner population, if you will, into their organization. Often you'll hear people talk about the Iga Shinobi clan or ninja clan or something like that. And that's misleading because this wasn't a family based organization in the way that we think of like the Oda being a military and political entity organized around the Oda family. That's not what this was, but they were able to conscript almost the members of the community from all levels, give them military training and utilize them in ways that we don't necessarily see to the same extent in other locations. So it wasn't just these 46 families that signed the oath document saying that they would work together and their household warriors. It was a mobilization of the entire community in essence to resist external aggression.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 06"/>
 
===Ikkō-ikki===
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">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 5: Oda Nobunaga</ref>
 
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"/>


The Ikko-ikki finally surrenders through the agency of the Court, the court noble is sent by the emperor to broker a settlement and a surrender by the Ishiyama Hongan-ji, which ends that.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 05"/>

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>

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"/>

Though gold smelting has reached an advanced level, turning pure gold into everyday utensils is still rarely done. Jade and gold are seen as symbols of blessings and good fortune, which explains people's fondness for such valuable utensils.</small>
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"/>

===Oda Nobuhide===

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">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 5: Oda Nobunaga</ref>

<small>A standard plucked zither with 25 strings. Decorated lavishly with ornamental patterns, such xithers are known as "gilded zithers" in the Rites of Zhou. Once a ritual musical instrument that only royalty could play, many have now found their way into the hands of common folk. Made with catalpa wood for the body and cow tendons as strings, zithers like these were played in rituals worshipping the heavens, especially during the Zhou dynasty. Confucians wish to revive this ritual system.</small>
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.<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.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 05"/>

The artist's uncanny ability to fit so much detail inside such a miniscule space makes this a stunning work of art. Thus we can see that the biggest difference between the nobility and commoners lies in the amount and type of amusements available to them. To the nobility, pleasure often takes higher priority than  making a living. This attitude is especially prevalent among young noblemen, not yet burdened with affairs of state, whose unending demands on musicians and entertainers can lead to some rather absurd and fantastical performances.</small>

He gained control of neighboring Issei province by first having his second son Nobukatsu adopted into the Kitabatake family, which ruled that province. And then later on, having the members of the Kitapatake clan assassinated so that his son rose up the hierarchy and essentially took over the clan from within.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 06">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 6: The Tensho Iga War</ref>
<small>Black ceramic wares are considered a novelty in every state, because only the people of Zhongshan can procure such wares. Zhongshan, being a state established by the Baidi people, has tried numerous times to get closer to the cultural sphere of the vassal states in the Central Plains. Producing these black ceramic wares is the result of such attempts. However, their identity as Baidi people has ultimately never been accepted. Even the state of Zhao, which introduced "barbarian-style" attire and horseback archery, has never once recognized Zhongshan as a "legitimate" vassal state.</small>


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"/>

It is clear that this relic has been handed down across many generations. It is generally believed that the tiger symbolizes Zhongshan nobility because it was viewed as the king of all animals. With a strong body and courageous spirit, it is only natural that the tiger was chosen by the gods to be their representative on earth. As a creature capable of devouring humans, it is both feared and revered by people.</small>


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, men 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.<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"/>

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">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 5: Oda Nobunaga</ref>

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"/>

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"/>
Wiki noimage.jpg|This ladle has an odd appearance, resembling that of some animal.

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"/>

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.

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.

===Imagawa Yoshimoto===

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">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 5: Oda Nobunaga</ref>

After several generations of great effort, the state officially received titles from the King of Zhou, an action opposed by his Ji clan vassals.</small>

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 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">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 5: Oda Nobunaga</ref>
<small>Painted censors [sic] were some of Han merchants' most traded items, and were very popoular with officials and commoners during the rule of King Zhaoxiang. Qin nobility (and those commoners who can afford it) incorporate incense into formalities within their homes, as incense is a symbol of a desirable life.</small>

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"/>

Central in the conflict between the Assassins and the Templars are the Pieces of Eden — extremely rare and powerful technological artifacts created by an advanced precursor civilization. It is believed that such artifacts could contain extensive knowledge or be used as weapons. Although the fight for their possession continues to this day, the Templars have been successful in collecting many of them.

A chance for the Brotherhood to regain lost ground in the war is the Animus device, a technology stolen from the Templars allowing for the exploration of memories encoded in human DNA.

The alarm neutralized and the lock picked, Inez opened the door to the warehouse. She'd taken off her leather jacket, covered in pins and chains and other things that might jangle the lone security guard awake. Maybe this score would get her off her friend's couch. The crates were piled high to the ceiling, lost in bright fluorescence, stacked like a very neat child's building blocks. She took the small flashlight out of her pocket and recited the aisle and tier where the box she was supposed to take sat. This was a rental facility, or so she was told, and light on security. Turned out to be anything but. She'd scaled the shelf to the fifth tier, about twenty feet up, her shoes gripping the shelf below. She found the box. It looked like a pen case but small, which was good because Inez wasn't big. In her head, she hummed a punk tune from the night before and for a moment, reconsidered how much she'd drank as her stomach turned while looking back down. Also, there were two men walking down the aisle between the shelves. They hadn't seen her yet, but she could tell they weren't rent-a-cops. It was the submachine guns that gave it away.

This is what she got for taking a job proffered at a party in Wicker Park. Way too artsy a crowd for her. She held her breath, tried very hard not to swear, and waited for the men to pass. When they did, she cat-climbed down to the concrete floor, crept around the end of the aisle, and saw them in front of the door she'd opened. The door she hadn't closed all the way because... hangover. About 400 pounds of muscles nullified that exit. She'd have to find another way out.

She made it to the skylight and was levering open one of the panels when the first bullet starred the glass in front of her. No more being careful, she hauled her ass through the window, sneakers finding traction on the roof and bolted for the fire escape… which, of course, had another slab of guard meat coming up it just then. This was some serious security. The man fired at her, spent brass moving in seeming slow-mo as the muzzle flashed. But Inez had run to the edge by then, said screw it, and jumped to the next roof, which she was not at all sure she'd make it to until she landed. From there, she ran off the edge of that roof and caught a light pole down to the street. Before she had time to pat herself on the back, there was another of the guards with a gun right in her face.

“You Descendants think you're untouchable. The Templars think otherwise.” He was about to pull the trigger. Then, she was covered in blood. Someone had stepped around the edge of an alley with a silenced pistol. He wore black, nondescript clothes and was maybe a few years older than Inez. Automatic fire raked the alley behind him as he fired at the guard coming down the fire escape. Inez turned, some instinct telling her that the other guards were outside by now and, sure enough, two positioned themselves behind the loading dock and took a bead on her would-be rescuer. He saw one in time to pop him, but the other, well, Inez hadn't fired a gun since one of her mom's interchangeable boyfriends taught her, but she had a knack and put two rounds into the other guard's chest. Then, she dropped the gun, screamed, and started shaking. She didn't make it far out of the alley, or the street, beyond before her rescuer pulled her down. Everything moved as if through a world of transparent syrup.

He turned to her, face awash in the street's wet neon refracted through beaded rain on the windshield and said, “You ever consider more steady work?” That's when she finally breathed again then said, “What the hell is a Templar?”

To reach their lofty goal, they stand up for the oppressed, eliminating in secrecy any tyrant and dictator threatening the freedom of the people. This ideology and modus operandi set them in direct opposition with a powerful mirror organization throughout their long history — the Templars, who believe that the only way to ensure the survival of humanity is to save it from itself, removing free will.
 
The Brotherhood's ideals were born in ancient times, supposedly in Greece. Their first incarnation — the Hidden Ones — was established in Egypt at the end of the Ptolemaic Kingdom.
 
=====MODERN DAY BROTHERHOOD=====
{{Quote|The Templars might have deeper pockets than us, but they've got no ambition, no passion, no competitive edge! That's why, even with all their resources, anything they can do, I can do better. Faster, too.|Rebecca Crane}}
 
The modern day Brotherhood is organized into small cells of Assassins, usually located in major cities or strategic sites, but also in isolated compounds outside urban centers with more substantial Templar presence. In general, modern cells function differently than the guilds of the past and can be described as solitary units of freedom fighters training and living off the grid.
 
=====ASSASSIN TRAINING=====
Becoming an Assassin requires rigorous training. A vital part of an apprentice coaching is learning to observe a situation in great detail, as being well informed means being able to make the best possible decision. This is more than just watching — it means taking note of the context of a situation, absorbing as many details
as possible, and collecting information via espionage.
 
Once the action starts, stealth and concealment are among an Assassin’s greatest assets. Being able to reach a target furtively, deal with it quickly and efficiently, then slip away without anyone noticing is fundamental. Trainees practice the art of “hiding in plain sight” extensively, learning how to blend in a crowd, to move away or disappear completely.
 
Trainees are also taught to take advantage of shadows and find alternate ways to reach their destination. ‘Freerunning’ is their main asset here — an acrobatic form of movement that involves navigating fluidly across an urban or natural landscape, it involves climbing vertical surfaces such as walls, leaping horizontally or vertically, diving, vaulting, swinging from handholds, dropping, and rolling. While equipment is not required, various gear has been developed over the years to enhance an Assassin’s ability. Tools such as hooked blades, whips, and the grappling hook/rope launcher extension to the Assassin’s gauntlet have all been used by various Assassins to aid in their freerunning.
 
Finally, all apprentices undergo extensive weapons and combat training, specifically with blades. Other than the Hidden Blade, the Assassins make use of what they excel at. Unfortunately, the clandestine nature of the Brotherhood makes it difficult to instruct all trainees in the same way. Many initiates must learn what they can from fellow Assassin crew members and cell mentors, and often must do it in do-or-die circumstances.
 
Not all Assassins are trained to be fighters, although they all share a basic level of competence in self-defense. Initiates are often encouraged to develop their interests into strong points for the Brotherhood, for the more diverse and complementary the knowledge and specialization of the trainees, the more a group of Assassins will be helpful to the cause. Engineering, medicine, history, sleight of hand, computer hacking, or combat, everything might serve the cause at the right moment.
 
=====The Doctrine=====
{{Quote|You cannot know anything. Only suspect. You must expect to be wrong, to have overlooked something.|Malik Al-Sayf}}
To help the Assassins put their philosophy into practice the Brotherhood developed a protocol, maintained by three simple rules — the Three Tenets.
;I. Stay your blade from the flesh of the innocent
Your goal is to ensure peace in all things. The Brotherhood believes that by assassinating evildoers and corrupted ones they will ultimately bring peace, freedom, and security to the people. Killing innocents could stir anger and dissent among those who they are supposed to save and protect.
{{Quote|There is freedom, and there is the life of innocents. Both must be balanced on the scale.|Bayek of Siwa}}
;II. Hide in plain sight
You must be unseen. Assassins must get close to their targets stealthily and be gone as quickly as possible in order to perform awe-inspiring killings when in public.
{{Quote|Let the people mask you such that you become one with the crowd.|Al Mualim}}
;III. Never compromise the Brotherhood
Your actions must never bring harm to all. Should an Assassin fail in their duty and be captured or tracked down, they must avoid giving away anything that could tie them back to the Brotherhood or bring harm to any of its members.
{{Quote|Its meaning should be obvious. Your actions must never bring harm upon us — direct or indirect!|Al Mualim chastising Altaïr Ibn-La’Ahad, 1191 CE}}
The Three Tenets appear simple, but in fact they present all Assassins with a complex and challenging set of ethical puzzles when they are applied to the usual methods employed by the Brotherhood.
 
====The Templar Order====
{{Quote|The people never have the power. Only the illusion of it. And here’s the real secret: they don’t want it. The responsibility is too great to bear. It’s why they’re so quick to fall in line as soon as someone takes charge. They want to be told what to do. They yearn for it. Little wonder, that, since all mankind was built to serve.|Haytham Kenway}}
The Templar Order seeks the creation of a perfect society by imposing a rigid structure upon the world. Discipline and authority form the cornerstone of their strategy, positioning them in direct contrast with the approach of the Assassin Brotherhood. They consider free will and unbridled evolution to be detrimental and firmly believe that the world can achieve stability and peace only through their enlightened guidance.


In practical terms, the Templars support the centralized leadership of the authoritarian governments of the world, taking action to shape and control society as needed and exploiting revolts and revolutions to their advantage, like puppeteers behind a curtain.


Their ideology centers around the idea that only structure and order will allow humankind to transcend its more primitive tendencies, and that free will and autonomy leads to a chaotic, unharmonious society. Essentially, the unwashed masses cannot be trusted to govern themselves. Paradoxically, the Templars are ultimately in pursuit of peace, just like the Assassins. It is their means of achieving that goal which differ.

The Templar Order has existed under one form or another for millennia. Little is known about its history before the 5th century BCE, but archeological data seem to indicate that it rose to power in Persia, Egypt, and beyond as a secret society. Initially known to initiates as the Order of the Ancients, they started to operate openly in the Middle Ages, when the Order of the Knights Templar was recognized officially during the Council of Troyes in 1129 CE. By the end of the 13th century, the Order had been greatly weakened by the Assassin Brotherhood and their allies, until they were forced to return to anonymity after a public denunciation as heretics.

The hedgehog is known for its resilience in adverse environments, making it a symbol for those who seek to thrive on the harsh steppes.</small>
Diminished but not destroyed, the Templars continued to influence mankind from the shadows, manipulating history’s most influential figures. With their help, they would carry on their age-old quest, helping humanity to reach its full potential through technical and scientific development.

At the dawn of the 20th century, the Templars felt that a new era was about to begin — a time where scientific progress would not only flourish, but also quite literally change the very fabric of society. In 1910, the Order’s leaders designed te Plan. Twenty-seven years later, a group of influential Templar industrialists founded Abstergo Industries, a multinational corporation that would become the public face of the Order.
<small>The Xiongnu are surrounded by wildlife in their everyday lives. They are familiar with the appearance and habits of these animals. Xiongnu craftsmen sculpt these familiar creatures to remind soldiers of their homeland in the steppes even, even as they do battle in faraway lands.</small>
 
|-
For the second time in its millennia-old history, the Order was at least in some small way made public. The Templars, however, would not repeat the mistakes of the past. They determined that Abstergo would be used as a front, and take full advantage of the vast resources the company would provide, while the Templars would continue to operate behind the scene, never revealing their identity or real agenda.

Behind the scenes, Abstergo has developed a three-part, Templar-directed initiative that non-initiate Abstergo employees are not privy to: to destroy the Assassin Brotherhood, to acquire Precursor technology, and to establish a New World Order.

To accomplish this initiative, Abstergo has spent enormous capital, investing in foreign governments and funding important corporations, quietly strengthening its influence over the dissemination of knowledge and collecting resources and data.

====The First Civilization====
|-|Shenshu=
{{Quote|They’re gifts, Mr. Miles. From those who came before.|Dr. Warren Vidic on the Pieces of Eden, 2012}}
Shenshu has always been a faithful protector, both before and after he became a god. Ever diligent in his duties, he guards the Guimen Guan, the Gate to Hell. The gods have granted him sacred intuition to judge the intent of the spirits who approach, and none can escape the reach of his weapon. When the sun sets, the moon rises, and the Gate to Hell opens once again, who shall receive judgement?
Little is known about the Isu, the Precursors, or Those Who Came Before, but their civilization spanned the entire planet before mankind even appeared. This ancient race, now extinct, was so advanced that modern day scientists — at least the few fortunate enough to have come across their technology — have not yet even begun to fathom the full extent of their function.


It is exactly the products of such technology that the Templar Order is bent on finding. In particular, they seek the artifacts known as the Pieces of Eden — incredibly complex devices that the Isu created to enforce obedience on humankind. In fact, while archeological evidence is scanty, all data gathered so far (mainly by the Templars) seem to indicate that the Precursors employed humans as slaves.
|-|Xingtian=
After Xingtian was decaptitated by the Yellow Emperor who ruled the gods, he transformed his nipples into eyes and rose again to seek his revenge. He wanders the ancient battlefield, eternally shouting challenges to the Yellow Emperor. Keep your distance from that place, as Xingtian may mistake you for one of his enemy's soldiers.


While the full and direct enslavement of humankind is not something the Templars desire, the fact that the function of most of the Pieces of Eden seems to be achieving the mental and physical control of human thoughts, emotions, and behavior, makes them an invaluable instrument towards achieving their goal of creating a society based on the choices of an enlightened few.
</tabber>


To find the Pieces of Eden, the Templar Order employs the Animus device developed by Abstergo Industries. By probing the past, the Templars are sure they will discover the whereabouts of these lost treasures one after the other.

====Animus Technology====

{{Quote|Animus technology functions in much the same way a simulator/projector does. Your consciousness will tap into the genetic coding in such a way that everything will appear to all your senses as three-dimensional, putting you in the heart of the action. It’s adaptive, so as the memories unfold, the “program” you experience begins to change subtly. They will appear to you as glitches and let you explore a memory much more closely|The Abstergo Entertainment Employee Handbook, 2014}}
!Type
The first Animus device was developed by Abstergo Industries between the seventies and eighties of the 20th century under the direction of Doctor Warren Vidic, one of the modern world’s greatest authorities on genetic memory. The revolutionary work of Doctor Vidic was inspired partially by Precursors’ technological findings, and aimed at creating an empirical way to analyze and investigate genetic memories employing virtual reality simulations.
!Description
 
!Price
In time, the Animus technology was refined into an accurate tool allowing its user to truly interface with history itself. As users improve their synchronization level within a simulation, the Animus allows them to delve deeper and deeper into genetic memories, unlocking secrets that would otherwise remain buried in the sands of time.
!Source
 
|-
But the Order found other uses for Doctor Vidic’ breakthrough technology. The Templars first developed the Animi Training Program, an initiative employing the virtual experience simulator to train selected Abstergo employees to better confront members of the Assassin Brotherhood. Then, Abstergo started secretly collecting genetic memories from the unknowing public through the worldwide release of an Animus entertainment console capable of stealing data from the genetic memory of users and storing it for potential use.

It’s 2016. The modern day Crew of Descendants has gathered in London, coming from different places around the world. One of their Brotherhood contacts in the UK, Siegmund “Ziggy” Visser, has reached out to each of them after having spent weeks collecting evidence concerning a lost piece of Precursor technology that might be related to some of their Ancestors. His current hideout is a rundown, closed theater in the middle of Camden Town previously known as "The Stardust". In the club’s backstage, Ziggy has set up an Abstergo Animus device, recently modified to connect to a number of commercial Brahman VR visors to allow multi-subject simulations.

===Lugers and Ballerinas===
'''Time Frame''': World War II<br>
'''Location''': Folies Bergère, Paris, France - 1942 CE<br>
'''Starting Sync Level''': 55% (3 Key Objectives)<br>
'''Description''': During the Nazi occupation of France, a private party is organized at the Folies Bergère, one of the most famous cabaret music halls in Paris. The event’s organizer is Wilhelm Schmidt, an SS Obersturmführer and low-rank- ing member of the Templar Order. The night is expected to be attended by soldiers, officers, and local celebrities.
 
At the beginning of the Simulation, the Witnesses gather outside the Folies Bergere club, safe from prying eyes. Their mission is to infiltrate the structure during the night’s event to recover some precious intel regarding the recent activities of Sturmbannführer Heinz Müller, a Seneschal Templar.
 
====Sequence start====
A fine drizzle wets the road in front of the Folies Bergère, whose external lights create colorful projections on the sidewalk. If it weren’t for the German uniforms crowding the area, everything tonight might look like it did in pre-war days.
 
From your hiding place, you can spot German trucks parked a short distance from the theater, and you have been observing cars carrying people in evening dresses coming and going for quite some time. Despite the rain and the people talking outside the building, you can hear the muffled music reaching the road whenever the theater doors open to let new guests in.
 
One last look at your watches, one last check on your gear, one last deep breath to let the sweet petrichor fill your nostrils. Time to go, Assassins.
 
====Key Objectives====
=====1 - Infiltration=====
Accessing the theater is the first goal to be achieved. There are a few access routes. At the back of the building, there is an entrance for waiters and theater workers. On the roof, a maintenance entrance can be accessed by easily jumping from the building adjacent to the theater. Finally, there’s the theater’s front door...
 
======Challenges======
;Patrol
A unit of 4 Wehrmacht soldiers patrols the perime- ter of the theater. They will take an interest in anyone acting suspiciously and will not accept anything less than a thorough explanation.
 
;Doorman
The show at the Folie Bergere is the event of the week in Paris and the list of guests is long. Convincing the doorman that you are on the list or that you are working for the event will require a good explanation.
 
;Flirting officer
Oskar Fiedler, a young officer, is smoking outside the theater’s back door, trying to impress and seduce a young dancer (Juliette Merion). He will be a thorn in the side of anyone passing by, as he will torment anyone who is not a German officer or a VIP, all to impress the young Juliette.
 
======Weaknesses======
;What do You Mean I’m Not on the List! (major)
The theater event attracted a lot of folks who weren’t invited and that ended up crowding the main door to get in. The confusion will make it easier to access with a proper ruse or disguise.
 
;A Secret Door (major)
The theater has a secret access from the Paris Métro Station of Cedet.
 
=====2 - Recover Templar intel=====
Sensitive documents are kept in an area of the theater that Schmidt uses as his office. However, the area is closed off for the duration of the event and two soldiers have been posted to guard the area.
 
Should the Witness gain access to the office, they will find that a number of documents crowd the office’s desk. The ones that attract their attention concern the movement of troops towards northern France, and the kidnapping of Lèo Dubois, a French professor of medieval history. All requested by Sturmbannführer Heinz Müller.
 
From what they can understand, Müller is moving to the north of France, seeking technology attributed to the First Civilization: Pieces of Eden? It is necessary to find Müller before he gets his hands on the artifact.
 
======Challenges======
;Nazi guards
The 2 guards at the entrance of the restricted area received specific and thorough orders that no one must enter here.
 
;Booby-trapped desk
While searching the desk for the documents, a Wits check is required to avoid the explosive trap set by Schmidt. On a failure, all Witnesses in the room must make a Reaction check. In any case, the explosion triggers the They’re Onto Us! Setback. The templar documents are a bit burned and damaged, but still readable.
 
======Weaknesses======
;Orders are Orders (minor)
If someone with a higher rank than the Obersturmführer Schmidt gives new orders to the guards, they will obey blindly.
 
;Let’s Have a Drink! (minor)
The guards are not happy about having to watch the restricted area and not being able to enjoy the party, so they will gladly have a chat with anyone approaching them and will also easily accept a drink (which could lead them to go to the bathroom earlier than expected, or allow the Witnesses to put something in their champagne…)
 
====Fade out====
Moments after completing the last mission’s objective, the simulation begins to fade, and sounds become muffled once again, except for Ziggy’s voice. He tells you that the memory block has been explored thoroughly and pulls you out of the Animus to get some rest.
 
====Setbacks====
;A SUSPICIOUS NAZI SOLDIER (MINOR).
A German soldier at the party takes an interest in the Witnesses and starts asking uncomfortable questions.
 
;FLYING BULLETS (MINOR)
Bullets start flying left and right. The Witness must make a Reaction check to avoid being injured.
 
;AN INNOCENT IS KILLED (MINOR)
One of the guests, a waiter or a dancer, is blamed for something by one of the German soldiers or officers, or gets accidentally killed. If a number of innocents equal to the number of Witnesses are killed during the chaos generated by the mission, the Witnesses lose 1 Sync level.
 
;THEY’RE ONTO US! (MAJOR)
The Witnesses have been discovered and now Lugers lead the dance. Panic erupts among the guests and workers and chaos takes over. For the rest of the scene, at the end of an Approach check, the Witnesses must make an additional Reaction check to avoid the German’s attacks.

Immediately after telling you this, he pushes some “magic buttons” and locks down the whole place. Then, security monitors start showing a group of armed individuals wearing black fatigues bearing the white triangular logo of Abstergo industries huddling outside the club, clearly trying to break in the front door. Another angle captures two more agents inspecting the perimeter of the building. “Hell’s bloody bells, let’s hope those mugs don’t find our trouble exit,” Ziggy says through gritted teeth before turning to look at you with a determined expression that seems to erase all worries: “Alright, grab yer stuff and the modified Brahmans! I’ll upload all our data to a secure server, but I need somebody to keep these Templar knobs at bay until I’m done. It’ll take me a few minutes. Then, we bugger off!”

<small>A wine vessel made of pure gold with handles made of jade, it is one of only a handful of works of art that combine the two. The level of skill and the amount of thought put into its design far outweigh the monetary value of the gold itself.

<small>The palm-sized ornament features a pair of dancers and four musicians performing inside a house. The artist's uncanny ability to fit so much detail inside such a miniscule space makes this a stunning work of art. Thus we can see that the biggest difference between the nobility and commoners lies in the amount and type of amusements available to them. To the nobility, pleasure often takes higher priority than  making a living. This attitude is especially prevalent among young noblemen, not yet burdened with affairs of state, whose unending demands on musicians and entertainers can lead to some rather absurd and fantastical performances.</small>

Zhongshan, being a state established by the Baidi people, has tried numerous times to get closer to the cultural sphere of the vassal states in the Central Plains. Producing these black ceramic wares is the result of such attempts. However, their identity as Baidi people has ultimately never been accepted.

<small>The basin was used for washing hands during ceremonies. It was a high-end item from the small state of Zhongshan and is rarely used now due to the complexity of the ceremonies.

After several generations of great effort, the state officially received titles from the King of Zhou, an action opposed by his Ji clan vassals.</small>

<small>A ceremonial short sword worn by the nobility of the state of Yan. It makes for an excellent assassination weapon at close ranges. Though it can be used like a dagger, it can also be modified to be a hidden blade. Its appearance in large quantities around the Shangjun signifies the presence of Yan activity, which does not bode well for law and order in the area. Jing Ke and Gao Jianli failed in their assassination attempts on the Qin emperor, but it is said there are still like-minded comrades of theirs in Yan. According to some Qin soldiers, a familiar figure has appeared in the Shangjun, and it appears that he is a former dog butcher from Yan.</small>

==Brotherhood of Venice==
===Apocalypse===
<!--
====Bitter Conduct====
;Full sync conditions
*No Assassin has been Poisoned by a Viper (Elite Guard).
;''Apocalypse'' Intro
Venice - 1524 - Headquarters of the Brotherhood
 
It has been years since your team of Assassins last met in the hallways of the headquarters of the Brotherhood. They all have had their share of heroic actions and tense fights with the Templars.
 
Now they are assembled again for a special briefing.
 
Months ago, The Brotherhood received worrying reports about a group of former Assassins gone rogue, deep into the jungles of the ancient kingdom of Cambodia. Very worrying rumors are circulating: a powerful artifact is in their possession and the Templars are actively looking for it. They seem to instill terror into the local populations. Not to mention the fact that this group is giving the Brotherhood a very bad reputation...
 
The rumor has it that they are led by a giant viper who goes by the name of Colubra...
 
A group of less experienced Assassins was sent to investigate but they have gone silent and the Brotherhood is not optimistic about their fate. This is why they has tasked you, the four most loyal and experienced Assassins currently in Italy, with the delicate mission to find the team that was sent before you, recover any artifacts they may possess, seek the rogue Assassins and deal with their leader in the most discreet fashion.
 
You will not be alone in this: Shao Jun, a brilliant Assassin was on her way back to China but accepted to help you work your way in the jungle of the Khmer Empire.
 
Good luck and remember: Nothing is true, everything is permitted!
 
;Memory Intro
Your first contact with the region was as rough as you had anticipated. Harrowing weeks on a merchant ship, total estrangement in a land where almost nothing reminds you of Italy, the heat and humidity... Fortunately, some of you are well traveled. After weeks of sailing on the Mother of all Rivers, the Tônlé Mékôngk, as it is called by the people you met, you are starting to appreciate the wonders of the Khmer Empire. Traces of its glorious past are popping up at surprising turns of the river, with the majestic temples, grandiose vegetation and incredible life forms.
 
In a small settlement in the heart of the jungle, you are set to meet Shao Jun, the Assassin who will accompany you on your journey. As you come close to the meeting point, you see that villagers have gathered around a sick bed. Shao Jun lies there, livid.
 
You understand that she has been poisoned and that she needs an antidote as soon as possible in order to survive. The villagers point out to the area where the village keeps a small stash of locally made antidotes.
 
It seems you will have a first taste of what lies ahead as you spot a group of strangely clad soldiers guarding the antidote stash.
;Objectives
Collect an antidote.
;Debrief
You give the antidote to Shao Jun, hoping for the best. After a few hours of anxiety-ridden sleep, she seems to have recovered and thanks you profusely.
 
She reveals that she was poisoned by a very intriguing figure she believes might have something to do with that Colubra you’re looking for. You need to find what happened to the previous Assassin team...
 
====Chasing the Rabbit====
;Full sync conditions
*Perform Shao Jun's deadly dance on a square containing 4 Guards.
;Intro
As you were investigating in a village, a young boy told you he has heard of people looking like you and that there were belongings in a clearing nearby. He would never dare to touch them, as the spirits of the dead are known to haunt that place.
 
The boy guides you to a promontory that may help you locate the clearing. As you approach it, you notice that an eerily bone-chilling fog has descended on the region...
 
;Objectives
Synchronize from the top of the Naga to locate signs of the Assassins of the first expedition and then recover them.
;Debrief
The fog finally dissipated and you reached the clearing. No ghosts here but you can tell the Assassin team definitely passed through here, as one of them left their belongings, including a small diary.
 
As you read the account of the search for the Assassin named Colubra, you can’t help but feel uneasy. There seems to be some malevolent force at work in this region.
 
You realize Colubra is a Portuguese word for Serpent. That means you are on the right track.
 
One of the most intriguing pages of the diary shows a drawing of a stunning female warrior, along with the symbols [SYMBOLS]
 
====Seek and Do Not Destroy====
;Full sync conditions
*No Assassin became exposed because of Mae Wa.
;Intro
You reach a village and ask around about the symbols [SYMBOL] but no one seems to be willing to talk about them. Some even refuse to look at them in the diary.
 
After several hours asking around, one of the village elders, a woman who looks so old she seems almost eternal, points to the jungle ahead.
 
“Climb the Naga and look for a soldier called Mae Wa who will lead you to what you are looking for.”
 
Do not hurt her or the serpent will kill us all!
;Objectives
Locate Mae Wa by Synchronizing from the top of the Naga, then follow her stealthily, avoiding detection.
;Debrief

|-|1=
If 1+ Assassin left the Map through the Secret passage,
read the following:
As you see the fierce female warrior leave, you feel that you need to follow her further as she clearly has something to do with those rebel Assassins.
 
The team that was there before you seems to have vanished into thin air. As you ask around about them, you only get silent looks of disapproval in response. Most of those you ask do not even bother replying at all.
 
It looks like those Assassins have not left any good memories around...
|-|2=
If no Assassin left the Map through the Secret passage,
read the following:
You lost track of Mae Wa... After several hours of searching, you finally locate her! Tick 1 box on the Threat Gauge.
 
The team that was there before you seems to have vanished into thin air. As you ask around about them, you only get silent looks of disapproval in response. Most of those you ask do not even bother replying at all.
 
It looks like those Assassins have not left any good memories around...

====Bombs Away====
;Full sync conditions
*Secret.
;Intro
You managed to find tracks of Mae Wa that lead to a small building next to a temple in ruins.
 
Nearby, a group of soldiers have a lively conversation but you cannot make out the words. Suddenly, they all freeze and seem to enter some kind of trance.
 
One of the female soldiers is trying to open a locked grate. The hissing sounds now seem to be surrounding you and you begin to feel uneasy as if it was drawing you to that grate.
 
You cannot see what is behind the grid from where you are. You need to get closer and investigate.
;Objectives
Investigate the camp. [!] After reaching the Objective, take the large card A#27 and follow the steps on the [Keys] side
;Debrief
That was the largest and most frightening animal you have ever met. Was that monstrosity even an animal?
 
In the lair of the snake you found a broken blade, which seems to be a peculiar design of a Hidden blade from the Brotherhood.
 
It is clear those soldiers have a strange serpent cult and they are definitely connected to the rebel Assassins.
 
During your investigation, you overheard the soldiers talking about going back to their boats. That is a lead you should follow.
 
====The Mission====
;Full sync conditions
*Attack 1+ Crocodile and Eliminate it.
;Intro
As the female warriors mentioned their boats, you are now trying to find where they could have needed them.
 
You gather from villagers that there is a ford, a few hours walk from here, where travelers sometimes come from.
 
After a while, the sounds of the forest grow more intense as the rumble of a mighty river can be heard in the distance.
 
You finally reach the riverbanks, just in time to spot a shining blade on the other side. It is time for some swimming!
;Objectives
Find clues from the Furies.
;Debrief
This side of the river feels different. The animals are quieter, the forest is much darker and the air feels oppressive. Following some tracks, you found the entrance of underground river tunnels. There
are mostly animals and plants you have never seen before, some of them are even quite repulsive.
 
Finally, you reach an underground pond, where a strange blue
