- "My story is one of many thousands, and the world will not suffer if it ends too soon."
- ―Ezio in a letter to his sister, Claudia.[src]
The end of an era was an event during the early 16th century, where an elderly Ezio Auditore, wiser and now the Grand Master of the Assassin Order, embarked on a journey to discover the answers left by the great Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad and unveil the weapon hidden in his library beneath Masyaf, which would be the one thing to end the feud between the Templars and Assassins.
Discovery in Masyaf
The journey
Ending the Borgia's reign of power in Rome. Ezio scanned through old documents he had found in 1509, documents that belonged to his late uncle, Mario Auditore. Among them was a letter from Ezio's father, Giovanni. Inside the letter, Giovanni made mention of a locked library hidden below a fortress in the Syrian mountain city of Masyaf, the birthplace of the legendary Assassin Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad. Ezio, unknowing what or whom would be there to greet him, journeyed for the fortress in late 1510.
Arriving in Syria and finding himself in need of rest, Ezio sought shelter in the coastal city of Acre. While there, the people warned him of mercenaries and bandits that had taken control of Masyaf. Ezio, before leaving, wrote a letter to his sister back in Rome, detailing of what obstacles he suspected to be on the road ahead and explaining his last wishes if he should die. Once he had arrived, he found the city in ruins and its fortress under the control of Byzantine Templars, confirming his suspicions.
Escaping death
- Leandros: "Nowhere left to run."
- Ezio: "Not for me, and not for you!"
- —Ezio and Leandros.[src]
Attempting to fight the Byzantine soldiers, Ezio was soon distracted by a vision of Altaïr, and was overpowered. The Byzantines dragged Ezio by his arms to the fortress' watchtower where he would be hanged. His hands bound, Ezio was pushed forward towards the platform and Leandros, a Templar, placed the noose around Ezio's neck. Swiftly, Ezio knocked Leandros and, after untying his hands, threw the rope around Leandros' neck. With the noose now around his shoulder, Ezio threw it off and fell safely to a wooden platform below.
Following the "spirit" of Altaïr, Ezio was led back to the equipment that was taken from him during the battle. Ezio continued to move along Masyaf's fortress and found himself upon the top of the fortress itself. At the top, he kicked a statue of an eagle down to the ground and watched as it collided with the ground, creating a crater which showed way into a tunnel, and Ezio then performed a Leap of Faith into the strange tunnel. Discovering guards and a worker trying to break into a door, Ezio slithered through, taking the lives of the guards and only sparing the worker in order to acquire answers.
Approaching not only the worker, but also the door, Ezio questioned the worker who was quick to plead for mercy.
The worker spoke of a journal that the Templars had in their possession and explained that the Templars had also acquired one of five keys needed to unlock the door. Ezio gave the worker a pouch and told him to seek work elsewhere. Then, the Assassin left the fortress and swiftly took care of the Templars inhabiting the village. Once done, Ezio made his way to the gates, leading to the village, where he was soon to confront Leandros once again. Leandros tried to flee but Ezio clung onto the rope connecting to Leandros' carriage.
Assassination of Leandros
- Ezio: "The book you carry. Where is it?"
- Leandros: "Ah! Niccolò Polo's journal? This will do no good, not now. We have found one of the Masyaf keys already, and are closing in on the rest."
- —Leandros to Ezio in his dying words.[src]
Managing to claim a carriage of his own, Ezio rides it, clashing with Leandros. A guard was quick to throw a bomb, hurling Ezio's carriage off the cliff as they approached the fortress. Leandros quickly retreated as Ezio fought through guards after he had recovered from the crash. Managing his way through the village, dealing with any Byzantines
that get in his way. Ezio once again confronted Leandros, the gate closing down, trapping Ezio inside but also Leandros. Leandros once again, tried to flee but in the end, it's no use. After traversing through more of the village, Ezio soon once again faced a frustrated Leandros and was quick to stab him viciously with his blade. In death, Leandros told Ezio of what he knew, such as something about a "Grand Temple" but much remained unknown, giving Ezio the journal, Leandros passed leaving Ezio with more questions then answers.
Search throughout Constantinople
Arrival
- "Many generations of men have ruled the city. But they have never subdued her. She always bounces back."
- ―Yusuf Tazim to Ezio about the city of Constantinople.[src]
On a boat to Constantinople, Ezio read through the journal, learning much of Altaïr's life and about the keys. Arriving at the city's port, Ezio met a young man who informed Ezio he was a student. The two discussed the city of Constantinople and, briefly talked about Ezio's journey. Ezio was about to explain what he did during his youth, but was interrupted by an attractive young female. After flirting with the woman and bidding the young man farewell, Ezio marveled at the city's beauty but was soon startled by another Assassin who seemed to already know him. The man soon revealed himself to be Yusuf Tazim, Grand Master of the Ottoman Assassins.
Exploring through the city, Ezio and Yusuf came to a stop. Yusuf, noticing Ezio hadn't had the Hookblade, tried to explain of the capabilities it possessed. For a "first climb", Yusuf and Ezio scaled the walls of the Galata Tower and soon reached the top. Together they basked in the city's glow and discussed its history, concluding that it is a fine place to live. Following Yusuf, Ezio learned how to craft bombs and ride across the Ziplines, allowing faster travel across Constantinople.
Den attacks
After Ezio learned the techniques of the Hookblade, an alarmed apprentice came sprinting up to the Mentor, claiming that two of their own dens were under attack. Ezio rushed to the Galata Assassin Den, and aided his fellow Assassins in defense of the den. The battle soon ended, and the Assassins proved victorious. After successfully defending the Galata den, Ezio made his way to the edge of the district, where he took a ferry to the Imperial North district. Once there, he rushed to the Den in an attempt to help Yusuf, but was too late and the Templars had taken over the Den.
In an attempt to retake their dens, Ezio, Yusuf, and a few apprentices made their way into the district. The apprentices charged up and down the rooftops, killing all guards in sight as the first part of their attack. Next, Ezio identified the Captain using his Eagle Sense, and tailed the guard. From there, Ezio silently assassinated the guard, making sure not to cause any conflict within the district. With the Captain dead, Ezio scaled the Den and lit a flame to indicate that the Templar's oppression over the district was over.
The first key
Following the rescue of a man behind bars and recruiting him to the Assassins, Ezio went back to the Assassin Den and spoke to the Apprentice who was waiting for Ezio inside. Claiming that two Assassins had mysteriously "disappeared", knowing that they were killed. Over time, Ezio and the Apprentice tracked down the killer and chased him but were not quick enough and lost him after he threw a smokebomb. Finding Yusuf and learning how to use the smokebombs, Ezio left the Den and went to the location of Niccolò Polo's old trading post. Upon arrival, Ezio saw a familiar face, the attractive young female he had met on the boat, an Italian, like him.
Learning that her name of Sofia, Ezio took a look around the shop and located a tunnel leading to catacombs underneath the city. Exploring through the catacombs and avoiding the guards' gaze, Ezio soon found a hidden door and inside it, he found the Masyaf Key, the first of five and a map. Leaving the chambers, Ezio showed Sofia his findings and watched how she reacted to the map. Once he had left the hideout, Ezio watched a memory of Altaïr flash from the Key and watched the Legendary Assassin defend Masyaf and save his master.
