Sword of Eden #1, cataloged by Abstergo Industries as Pieces of Eden 25, was one of the Swords of Eden, sword-like artifacts created by the First Civilization scientist, Hephaestus, to fight during the War of Unification. These Pieces of Eden seemed to grant their bearers great power and leadership, and were later used by influential humans in battle.
The Sword was long thought to have been damaged during the French Revolution but Templar historian Professor Simon Hathaway, in the process of exploring the memories of his ancestor Gabriel Laxart in 2016, discovered that the Sword had been missing a component vital to its functioning fully since the Hundred Years' War.
History
The Sword of Eden was created by the Hephaestus the maker during the Isu Era to bring about the end of the War of Unification. Although effective in its own right, the weapon was designed to work in sync with a spherical, scarlet Piece of Eden known as the Heart which sat inside the Sword's pommel.
By the early 14th century the Sword was in possession of the Knights Templar. After the Templars were branded as heretics in 1307 by Pope Clement V, and the Parisian Temple was attacked by King Philip the Fair's forces, Grand Master Jacques de Molay entrusted his advisor with hiding the Sword. The advisor obliged, concealing the Sword along with de Molay's codex within a secret underground chamber, before being killed by an Assassin. De Molay, however, had removed the Heart from the blade and, while in prison awaiting execution, buried it away within some graffiti on the wall of the cell.
In 1794, during the French Revolution, the Sword hidden in the Parisian Temple was acquired by François-Thomas Germain, who used the Sword during his fight with Arno Dorian and Élise de la Serre. The Sword granted Germain extraordinary abilities, such as teleportation and deadly energy blasts. Unfortunately, Élise struck a blow to the Sword which destabilized its power source; the subsequent explosion demolished much of the Temple, killed Elise and mortally wounded Germain himself. Following the event, the Sword ended up in Arno's possession, though while it no longer possessed its former powers on account of the damage caused in Élise's final charge, it remained as one of the most powerful weapons in Arno's arsenal.
Trivia
- The Sword is unique in that it is the only Piece of Eden that can be kept and actively used by the main character after the game ends. The Apples of Eden are sealed away, the Staff disappears and the Shroud is returned to its resting place.
