- "People over there are so wrapped up in HOW you perceive the Lord they forget we're all part of his flock. Stories change, Connor. The way people tell them evolves. It's no different in the Bible and I believe that's the real root of all the strife back home. But nobody wants to listen to me – if you don't see it their way, you're a heathen."
- ―Duncan Little on the conflict in his homeland.[src]
Ireland is an island located northwest of continental Europe, alongside the island of Great Britain. For 800 years, Ireland was brutally enslaved by Great Britain. In modern times, it is divided between the Republic of Ireland, and Northern Ireland, which is itself a part of the United Kingdom based in Great Britain.
The country has a history of conflict between Catholics and Protestants. William Johnson was born to Catholic parents, but converted to Protestantism as he found Catholicism was limiting his opportunities among the nobility, due to English discrimination against Irish Catholics. The Templars were present in the country, fanning the flames of persecution and violence, which prompted Irishmen like Duncan Little and John O'Brien to migrate to North America.
