Shay looking at a destroyed Lisbon

The 1755 Lisbon earthquake was a seismic event that occurred in the city of Lisbon, Portugal on 1 November 1755. The earthquake was caused by the disturbance of the mechanism of a Seismic Temple situated under the Carmo Convent. It was triggered by the Colonial Assassin Shay Cormac, whom the Assassins' Mentor Achilles Davenport had tasked with retrieving the Piece of Eden that was supposedly located within in the Temple.

In the aftermath of the earthquake, thousands of people lost their lives and homes, Lisbon was nearly entirely levelled, and Shay blamed himself and Achilles for the tragedy.[1] Convinced that other cities would meet the same fate as Lisbon, and Haiti in a similar event years earlier, if the Assassins were allowed to continue their search for Isu sites, Shay decided to steal the Voynich manuscript from the Davenport Homestead, since the Assassins would not be able to find more Temples without it.[2]
