'''Equal Justice''' was a virtual representation of one of [[Arno Dorian]]'s [[Genetic memory|genetic memories]], relived by a [[Helix initiate]] through the [[Helix|Helix Navigator]].
Swords had a long reach, great power, and a quick attack rate, though not as much as [[long weapons]], heavy weapons or short blades, respectively. As such, they could be seen as the most balanced weapons available.


==Clues==
Aside from attack, a sword could also be used to block or counter an enemy, or break through their defense. They, along with most [[blunt weapons]], were also the only weapons that could be used from [[Horses|horseback]].

*'''The body of the victim''' - The victim was enrolled in the French Revolutionary Army. She was beaten to death with a heavy object. Her face is unrecognizable.
*'''An enrollment leaflet''' - An enrollment leaflet for the French Revolutionary Army signed by the local officer: Monsieur François Guelhaut.
*'''The lyrics of a song'''

:: Libres et égales, sans tête et sans armée! (Free and equal, headless and without an army!)
===Third Crusade===
[[File:Altair sword evolution.png|thumb|left|250px|The swords used by Altaïr in 1191]]
In the High Middle Ages, guards used no other melee weapon but swords, and the guards of [[Masyaf]] regularly practiced swordplay in the courtyard, stressing how important it was to wield a blade. Maces were uncommon at the time, and the sword was a mainstay in any arsenal, even for [[archers]].


*'''Statement of the sad soldier''' - Sad soldier: Enrolled in the army at the same time as the victim. One of her close friends. Saw a man in an army jacket fleeing.
The sword became available to an Assassin upon reaching the second [[Ranks|rank]], with more powerful, better quality swords being presented to him as he progressed. [[Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad]] began with a dull-gray sword that lacked a guard and had a curved hilt. His second sword resembled the first, though it possessed a silvery sheen and a distinct pommel.


===Destroyed House===
The third sword was [[Sword of Altaïr|his personal weapon]], which was constructed of a hand guard that was shaped like an eagle's wings, along with an eagle's head at the pommel. Altaïr's final sword was the [[Syrian Sabre]]. It had a curved blade, a characteristic of Arabic swords, and indicated a very high status, as the hilt and sheath were covered in gold.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed]]''</ref>
*'''The body of the second victim''' - The second victim is also a soldier. She has been smashed with a heavy weapon. The violence of the attack seems to be even worse than for the first victim.
*'''The murder weapon''' - The rod of a Tambour Major, a musician in the French Revolutionary Army. It has been broken in half while beating the victim.


===Market===
===Renaissance===
*'''A pamphlet on women''' - This page is written by a beginner in cursive script, almost illegibly. It tells about women, slandering their "supposed rights", and accuses them of every defeat to the Revolutionary Army.  
[[File:ACII-Armory 2.png|thumb|250px|Weapon room in the Villa Auditore]]
*'''{{Wiki|Declaration of the Rights of Women}}'''
Come the [[Renaissance]], maces had become equally as popular as the sword, and matched them in use and availability. The first sword [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze]] obtained came from [[Giovanni Auditore da Firenze|his father]], and was stored in a chest hidden in the [[Palazzo Auditore]]. However, he quickly lost it when he was disarmed in his attempt to save his father and brothers from execution.


:: The page is annotated hastily: "PUTAIN. Must find this {{Wiki|Olympe De Gouges|De Gouges}}."
Ezio was later equipped with a similar sword, courtesy of his uncle, [[Mario Auditore]], when he arrived at [[Monteriggioni]]. Following this, he could buy a variety of swords or maces from [[blacksmiths]]. Any unequipped weapons he later purchased were stored at the [[Villa Auditore]]'s armory.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed II]]''</ref>


:: ---
Swords and maces continued to be a central part of combat in [[Rome]]. Around this time, Ezio was more aggressive in his fights, and used a variety of new attacks against his enemies. Additionally, Ezio learned to [[Dual-wielding|dual-wield]] his [[Hidden Gun]] with his primary weapon, in order to kill an enemy from a distance, or perform an instant double kill with both his sword and gun during a kill-streak.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]''</ref>


:: "Woman, wake up; the toxin of reason must be heard throughout the whole universe; discover your rights. The powerful empire of nature is no longer surrounded by prejudice, fanaticism, superstition, and lies. The flame of truth has dispersed all the clouds of folly and usurpation. Enslaved man has multiplied his strength and needs recourse to you to break his chains. Having become free, he has become unjust to his companion. Oh, women, women! When will you cease to be blind? What advantage have you received from the Revolution?"
===Age of Discovery===
*'''Statement of the young musician''' - Young musician: Did not witness the murder, was in the tavern all night. Claims he wants to join the military.
During the [[Golden Age of Piracy]], the Assassin [[Edward Kenway]] used a variety of swords. He typically kept a pair on his person, dual-wielding them in combat. Despite the widespread of [[firearms]] among the militaries and other factions, various individuals also typically carried a sword for close combat.


===Tavern===
===Age of Revolution===
*'''The lyrics of a song''' - The lyrics of another song, on a small piece of paper. The words are almost all crossed out, making it too difficult to read.
[[File:ACIRealSteel.jpg|thumb|250px|left|Haytham Kenway's shortsword]]
*'''Statement of the old officer''' - Old officer: Did not witness the murder, was listening to a performer in the tavern.
[[Haytham Kenway]], Edward's son, utilized a shortsword in combat during his early life, though it was ultimately lost in a in a duel with the Assassin [[Miko]] in [[Corsica]]. Years late, upon his arrival in the American colonies, Haytham used a saber during the [[Seven Years' War]] and the [[American Revolutionary War]].


==Dialogue==
The Assassin-turned-Templar, [[Shay Cormac]], dual-wielded a sword and a parrying dagger, similar to the pair of 12th century Templar brothers, [[Shalim]] and [[Shahar]].
===Courtyard===
*'''Arno:''' ''You knew the victim?''
*'''The sad soldier (A young man in a French Revolutionary Army uniform. He found the victim):''' ''She was a friend, we were on our way to join the Revolutionary Army and I found her...''
*'''Arno:''' ''Were you alone?''
*'''The sad soldier:''' ''Just as I arrived someone ran. I'm sure he wore a soldier's uniform.''


===Market===
Haytham's son, the [[Colonial Assassins|Colonial Assassin]] [[Ratonhnhaké:ton|Connor]], was known to utilize a combined sword and Hidden Blade attacks in combat. Around this time, the practice of sword-wielding amongst common soldiers had declined, with greater focus being placed on flintlock muskets with attached bayonets. Only the high-ranked officers were known to carry a sword on their person.
*'''Arno:''' ''Were you in town last night?''
*'''The young musician (A very young musician, earning a wage by performing in the streets):''' ''Why?''
*'''Arno:''' ''A soldier has been found dead there. You look like the killer.''
*'''The young musician:''' ''Not me, I was at the bar the whole time! And why would I kill a soldier? I want to join the army! Who would hit a woman anyway? There's no fun in hitting a woman!''


===Tavern===
During the [[French Revolution]], swords were commonly used by soldiers of the [[French Army]], as well as other organisations such as the [[Jacobins]] and [[Royalists]]. Common soldiers usually utilized sabres, while officers wielded rapiers. The [[French Assassins|French Assassin]] [[Arno Dorian]] and Templar [[Élise de la Serre]] each wielded a sabre.
*'''Arno:''' ''Were you downtown last night?''
*'''The old officer (An old-fashioned officer of the French army. He is enjoying the warm glow of the tavern):''' ''I surely was not. I was attending a lovely performance the whole night.''


Arno returned to the market and accused the young musician.
[[File:Cane Sword.jpg|thumb|250px|Evie Frye's cane-sword]]
Due to limitations and regulations regarding weaponry in [[London]] during the [[Victorian era]], Assassins such as [[Jacob Frye|Jacob]] and [[Evie Frye]] used cane-swords, which were blades disguised with the appearance of a walking cane.<ref>[http://blog.ubi.com/assassins-creed-syndicate-combat-navigation-stealth/ Ubiblog: ''Assassin's Creed: Syndicate'' - Combat, Navigation, Stealth]</ref>


*'''The young musician:''' ''This is a man's world. These Revolutionary libertines must be stopped. I was certain you saw things my way. But you are worse than a woman.''

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.

Patience, brothers. Soon we will reveal the secrets of Assassin's Creed: Rogue, Assassin's Creed: Unity and Assassin's Creed Chronicles: China.

This article has been identified as being out of date. Please update the article to reflect recent releases and then remove this template once done.

This article is about the widely used weapons. You may be looking for the Pieces of Eden known as the Swords of Eden.
A Syrian Sabre

Swords were weapons used by military units, guards, and members of the Assassin Order to engage in open combat against armed opponents, and usually acted as primary weapons alongside a short blade or pistol. Swords could be either one or two-handed, though the latter was mostly classified as a heavy weapon.

Swords had a long reach, great power, and a quick attack rate, though not as much as long weapons, heavy weapons or short blades, respectively. As such, they could be seen as the most balanced weapons available.

Aside from attack, a sword could also be used to block or counter an enemy, or break through their defense. They, along with most blunt weapons, were also the only weapons that could be used from horseback.

History

Third Crusade

The swords used by Altaïr in 1191

In the High Middle Ages, guards used no other melee weapon but swords, and the guards of Masyaf regularly practiced swordplay in the courtyard, stressing how important it was to wield a blade. Maces were uncommon at the time, and the sword was a mainstay in any arsenal, even for archers.

The sword became available to an Assassin upon reaching the second rank, with more powerful, better quality swords being presented to him as he progressed. Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad began with a dull-gray sword that lacked a guard and had a curved hilt. His second sword resembled the first, though it possessed a silvery sheen and a distinct pommel.

The third sword was his personal weapon, which was constructed of a hand guard that was shaped like an eagle's wings, along with an eagle's head at the pommel. Altaïr's final sword was the Syrian Sabre. It had a curved blade, a characteristic of Arabic swords, and indicated a very high status, as the hilt and sheath were covered in gold.[1]

Come the Renaissance, maces had become equally as popular as the sword, and matched them in use and availability. The first sword Ezio Auditore da Firenze obtained came from his father, and was stored in a chest hidden in the Palazzo Auditore. However, he quickly lost it when he was disarmed in his attempt to save his father and brothers from execution.

Ezio was later equipped with a similar sword, courtesy of his uncle, Mario Auditore, when he arrived at Monteriggioni. Following this, he could buy a variety of swords or maces from blacksmiths. Any unequipped weapons he later purchased were stored at the Villa Auditore's armory.[2]

Swords and maces continued to be a central part of combat in Rome. Around this time, Ezio was more aggressive in his fights, and used a variety of new attacks against his enemies. Additionally, Ezio learned to dual-wield his Hidden Gun with his primary weapon, in order to kill an enemy from a distance, or perform an instant double kill with both his sword and gun during a kill-streak.[3]

Age of Discovery

During the Golden Age of Piracy, the Assassin Edward Kenway used a variety of swords. He typically kept a pair on his person, dual-wielding them in combat. Despite the widespread of firearms among the militaries and other factions, various individuals also typically carried a sword for close combat.

Age of Revolution

Haytham Kenway's shortsword

Haytham Kenway, Edward's son, utilized a shortsword in combat during his early life, though it was ultimately lost in a in a duel with the Assassin Miko in Corsica. Years late, upon his arrival in the American colonies, Haytham used a saber during the Seven Years' War and the American Revolutionary War.

The Assassin-turned-Templar, Shay Cormac, dual-wielded a sword and a parrying dagger, similar to the pair of 12th century Templar brothers, Shalim and Shahar.

Haytham's son, the Colonial Assassin Connor, was known to utilize a combined sword and Hidden Blade attacks in combat. Around this time, the practice of sword-wielding amongst common soldiers had declined, with greater focus being placed on flintlock muskets with attached bayonets. Only the high-ranked officers were known to carry a sword on their person.

During the French Revolution, swords were commonly used by soldiers of the French Army, as well as other organisations such as the Jacobins and Royalists. Common soldiers usually utilized sabres, while officers wielded rapiers. The French Assassin Arno Dorian and Templar Élise de la Serre each wielded a sabre.

Due to limitations and regulations regarding weaponry in London during the Victorian era, Assassins such as Jacob and Evie Frye used cane-swords, which were blades disguised with the appearance of a walking cane.[4]

  • The Sword of Altaïr could only be purchased from the blacksmith shop in Monteriggioni.
  • The Syrian sabre dealt less damage than the Sword of Altaïr, despite the Syrian sabre having been the best sword in Assassin's Creed.
