The '''Tunguska explosion''' was an event that happened in 1908. It was caused by [[Nikola Tesla]], working for the [[Assassins]], who was trying to destroy The Staff, a [[Piece of Eden]] as a strike against the [[Templars]]. The Staff's current status is unknown, but the two most plausible explanations are that it was either destroyed in the blast, or carried away to an unknown location. It was a major Assassin victory in the early twentieth century, because of The Staff's destruction or loss as well as the destruction of a Templar research facility. The explosion flattened more then 2,000 kilometers of pine forest in what is now Krasnoyarsk Krai in Russia. [[Nikolai Orelov]] was most likely one of the Assassins involved.

The Tunguska explosion was an explosion that occured in 1908. It was caused by Nikola Tesla, working for the Assassins, who tried to destroy the Staff of Eden as a strike against the Templars.

Prelude

In 1905, the Templar Rasputin came into possession of the staff of Csar Nicholas II, a Piece of Eden. It was taken to a secret facility in central Russia, near the Tunguska river. The Staff was used as part of research into wave-generation technology. Several years before, the inventor Nikola Tesla had been discredited and nearly ruined by the Templars, namely J.P. Morgan and Thomas Edison.

The Explosion

In the summer of 1908, members of the Assassin's Order contacted Tesla, offering a chance to get back at the Templars. Using his mastery of electricity and the Wardenclyffe Tower, Tesla broadcast destruction into the facility, creating one of the largest explosions in history [more than 2000 kilometers of forest were flattened]. This obliterated the research facility and presumably the Staff.
