I wanted to ask you something. Which is... what's your name? This article title is conjecture. Although the article subject is canon, no official name for it has been given. |
A set of three Pieces of Eden were located in Southeast Asia. The artifacts varied in shape, size, and the abilities they granted to wielders, but were all considered part of the same set.
Owners
- Isu (? – ?)
- Lapu-Lapu (16th century)
- Ferdinand Magellan (Crescent amulet; 1521)
- Mad monk (Crescent Amulet; 1725)
Usage
The three artifacts that made up the set consisted of a Crescent amulet, a sphere resembling an Apple, and a flower-shaped disk. At least one of the artifacts granted considerable physical strength, allowing the Visayan chieftain Lapu-Lapu to easily defeat an army of Spanish soldiers,[1] while the amulet had a variety of powers, including mind control,[2] the ability to create illusions and resurrect the dead,[3] and granting access to calculations.[4]
History
Early history
Created during the Isu Era,[1] knowledge of the set, its location, and its powers were lost following the Great Catastrophe in 75,000 BCE.[5] Millennia later, in the early 16th century, two of the artifacts were found in the Philippines, with the Crescent amulet located on the island of Cebu and another artifact in the possession of Lapu-Lapu, the chieftain of Mactan Island.[1]
Age of Discovery
In 1521, the Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan arrived on Cebu to search for the amulet and converted the island's population to Christianity in the process. After finding the Piece of Eden, Magellan was informed by Cebu's chieftain Rajah Humabon of the other two artifacts and attempted to seize the Piece of Eden in Lapu-Lapu's possession.[1]
However, Lapu-Lapu used the artifact's power to defeat the Spanish troops under Magellan's command and personally killed the explorer. With Magellan's death, knowledge of the set became lost once again for the next two centuries.[1]
Golden Age of Piracy
By the early 18th century, all three Pieces of Eden were rumored to be located in the former Khmer capital of Angkor. Investigating the legend, the Dutch navigator Hendrik learned about Magellan's own search for the artifacts from a monk at the Basilica del Santo Niño in Cebu, but the monk refused to disclose the fate of Magellan's treasure following the explorer's death.[1]
Hendrik eventually found Angkor and at least one of its Pieces of Eden, but could not retrieve it and was later killed in Macau in 1725.[6] That year, various parties, including the Japanese Templars and the British Assassin Edward Kenway, sought to find Angkor and its "treasure", and used information from Hendrik's sea log to aid their search for the lost city.[1]
After being arrested in Manila while traveling to Cebu to investigate a lead they had found, Edward and the members of his Zhang Wei Union discovered that one of the Pieces of Eden, the Crescent amulet, was in the city. It was wielded by a monk, who used it to control the masses and instigate a riot against the Governor-General of the Philippines.[2]
