The Shards of Eden were ring-like Pieces of Eden, which were invented by the First Civilization to serve as personal shields for their wearers. The Shards projected an electromagnetic field which protected their wearers from projectile damage, such as energy weapons as well as conventional weapons.
At some point, a Shard came into the possession of the renowned privateer William Kidd, and its ability to deflect metal or, more specifically, lead musket balls, contributed to stories of Kidd's invincibility. Kidd eventually chose to hide his Shard on Oak Island, to keep it safe from Templar forces who sought it. To this end, Kidd created a map that provided clues to the Shard's location, and divided it among four of his former crew members.
Years later, the Assassin Connor managed to gather the four pieces of the map and, along with Robert Faulkner, traveled to Oak Island to obtain the Shard. Though both wondered why Kidd protected this "treasure" so carefully, Connor soon realized its power when it threw Faulkner's whiskey flask out of his hand.
