Assassin Tombs

Ezio, my friend! How may I be of service? This article is in desperate need of a revamp. Please improve it in any way necessary in order for it to achieve a higher standard of quality in accordance with our Manual of Style.

The Assassin's Tombs are six tombs constructed by Domenico Auditore across Italy, which contain the remains of six of the greatest of the Assassin's Order. The tombs were created as a dedication to their lives, with the bodies moved from their original graves to these Tombs.

Each crypt contains an Assassin's Seal, which, when accumulated, unlocks a gate in the Sanctuary of the Assassins underneath Villa Auditore, hidden behind which is Altaïr's armor, the strongest armor of the time.

Though the Auditore Crypt gives you no reward.

Obtaining all Assassin's Seals unlocks Altaïr's armor, the highest quality obtainable. Altaïr created the armor to be invulnerable towards swords, maces and arrows. Dyes are not visible upon the armor, save the inside of the hood.

This armor was later buried in the rubble of Villa Auditore during the Siege of Monteriggioni, when Cesare Borgia ordered an attack on the small town.
