=Database: The Apples of Eden=
=Database: The Apples of Eden=
My fascination with the enigmatic Apples of Eden continues to deepen. Apparently, these remarkable spheroidal artifacts, meticulously crafted by the Precursors, were devised to exert control over humankind, exploiting the intricate genetic composition of our species. Our very nature makes us uniquely susceptible to the profound influence wielded by these objects.
Delving into the annals of time, we journey back to approximately 75,010 BCE when Eve, a unique Isu-human hybrid, harnessed the power of her mixed heritage to resist the mind-altering properties embedded within the Apples of Eden. In a courageous act, Eve and her companion Adam liberated other humans from the clutches of enslavement, igniting the spark of the rebellion against their creators that culminated in the sprawling conflict known as the Human-Isu war. This act of defiance has interlaced with the tapestry of human mythology, giving birth to the legend of Adam and Eve banished from the idyllic Garden of Eden for their audacity to partake in the forbidden fruit.
The powers harbored within the Apples of Eden are vast, and capable of reshaping reality through the mere force of thought. Historical records reveal the futile endeavors of the Isu, who sought to exploit this potential by launching an Apple of Eden into Earth's celestial orbit in the grand ambition to manipulate human consciousness, implanting the belief that our world would be shielded from the imminent Toba Catastrophe. However, even the mighty Apples could not alter the course of destiny.
Beyond their reality-altering capabilities, these artifacts also seem to be invaluable repositories of ancient knowledge, encapsulating an astonishing wealth of Precursor information. Some Apples can also track the elusive fragments of other Isu artifacts scattered across the globe. As the 21st century unfolds, we can confirm the existence of multiple Apples of Eden out there.
<tabber>
|-|Apple 2=
'''Known Owners:''' [[Bayek]], [[Al Mualim]], [[Altaïr]], [[Elizabeth I of England|Elizabeth I]], and [[Mahatma Gandhi|Gandhi]]
'''Current Status:''' Destroyed
The Apple of Eden was originally recovered from the Order of the Ancients by Bayek, who hid it within Aya's hideout in Alexandria. The former Mentor of the Assassins of Masyaf, Al Mualim, obtained it in the 12th century, but Altaïr exposed his treachery and recovered the Apple. Subsequently, the Apple passed through the hands of Queen Elizabeth I and later Gandhi, who was tragically assassinated by Templar agents seeking the artifact for themselves. The Apple was finally destroyed in 2011 in an accident at an Abstergo facility beneath Denver International Airport.
|-|Apple of Eden 4=
'''Known Owners:''' [[Nikola Tesla]], [[Thomas Edison]], [[Henry Ford]], and [[Adolf Hitler]]
'''Current Status:''' Unknown, probably owned by the Assassins
This ancient and mysterious Apple has been in the possession of history's most infamous visionaries, intriguers, and warmongers, and has remained at the heart of the Templars' pursuit of power. It's existence was first recorded in 10th-century China, but it didn't resurface until the 19th century when it was discovered by Nikola Tesla. Tesla intended to use it as part of his grand vision of harnessing its energy to power the world for free, but the Templar Thomas Edison thwarted his ambition, acquiring the Apple for himself. The Apple ended up in the hands of various influential figures, including Mark Twain and Henry Ford. Ford effectively ensured the triumph of Capitalism by employing the Apple's power to manipulate workers in his factories, before sending it to Adolf Hitler in 1933 at the insistence of the Templars. With the Apple, Hitler was able to seize power and launched a world war that ultimately served the Templar's industrial interests. Later, the Templars kidnapped Tesla to help them create a proto-Animus called Die Glocke. ‘Project Rainbow', in temporary alliance with the Assassins in 1943, was a misguided mission to prevent the worst atrocities of World War II.
|-|Apple of Eden 7=
'''Known Owners:''' [[Charles Pearson]], [[Cavanagh]], and Sir [[David Brewster]]
'''Current Status:''' Destroyed
Cavanagh, a British Templar, sought out this Apple of Eden while building the world's first underground railway in the mid-nineteenth century. Cavanagh was slain and the Apple stolen by his rival, Templar Grand Master Crawford Starrick. At Starrick's behest, scientist David Brewster attempted to unlock its secrets. The Apple was destroyed and Brewster slain when an experiment in his Croydon laboratory backfired in 1868.
|-|Mihšihkinaahkwa's Apple of Eden=
'''Known Owners:''' Little Turtle ([[Mihšihkinaahkwa]])
'''Current Status:''' Unknown

=Database: The Staves of Eden=
=Database: The Staves of Eden=
During my extensive research on the Staves of Eden at Abstergo Industries, I have discovered many fascinating aspects of these artifacts. Resembling scepters, the Staves embody a sense of authoritative power, representing sovereignty in various contexts. Through their unique design, all Staves display the ability to command and govern, exerting control over the thoughts and actions of individuals. The enigmatic properties of the Staves extend further, as they have the potential to conceal the presence of the bearer and even enable levitation. However, the true nature of these effects remains shrouded in mystery, leaving us to ponder whether they are tangible manifestations or intricately crafted manipulations of perception. It is also noteworthy that the tip of a Staff can be utilized as a spear, adding to its versatility as both a symbol of authority and a deadly weapon. Throughout our research, we have encountered only four Staves of Eden, each possessing a captivating history, further deepening the intrigue surrounding these powerful artifacts.
<tabber>
|-|The Scepter of Alexander the Great=
'''Known Owners:''' [[Alexander the Great]], [[Flavius Metellus]]
'''Current Status:''' Unknown
Alexander the Great used this Staff of Eden, gifted him by the Order of the Ancients, to consolidate power in Macedonia and massively expand his empire over the Middle East and beyond. After his death, the Scepter was interred in his tomb in Alexandria. In 47 BCE the Scepter was stolen by two members of the Order of the Ancients, Flavius and Septimius, who intended to use it to unlock an Isu Vault in Siwa. The Scepter was then taken to Rome, where Septimius presented it to the local Order of the Ancients before being slain by Aya.

=Database: The Swords of Eden=
=Database: The Swords of Eden=
In our database here at Abstergo, I've found much information focused on some of the artifacts left by the Precursors that I personally find to be among the most fascinating — the Swords of Eden. We have all the reasons to believe that these remarkable artifacts were originally crafted by the esteemed Precursor scientist Hephaestus, and were explicitly designed to amplify strength during battle and enhance leadership.
As correctly reported by my predecessors, a notable ability associated with these Swords is the capacity to unleash powerful energy blasts. Through analysis and research on the field, we have confirmed the existence of a few distinct Swords of Eden, each with its own intriguing history, often tied to myths about famous heroes and conquerors. Legendary figures such as Attila the Hun and Genghis Khan are believed to have wielded these powerful artifacts, further supporting their historical significance. Through our unwavering search for knowledge, I continue to delve into the puzzles surrounding the Swords of Eden, unearthing their undeniable impact on the course of human history.
<tabber>
|-|Sword of Eden 1=
'''Known Owners:''' [[Jeanne d'Arc]], [[François-Thomas Germain]], [[Arno Dorian]], [[Simon Hathaway]]
'''Current Status:''' [[Abstergo Industries]]' HQ, England, Rikkin's office
Before his arrest, the Grand Master of the Knights Templar, Jacques de Molay, concealed a peculiar Sword of Eden. The artifact was enhanced by a small red stone known as the Heart, a gem that de Molay was able to hide. Later on, the Heart fell into the hands of Joan of Arc, who wore it around her neck, utilizing its unique energy to amplify the powers of the Sword she eventually acquired. However, following Joan's execution, the Heart was lost when her executioner callously threw it into the Seine. At the time of the French Revolution, the Sword suffered significant damage during a fierce clash involving Grand Master François-Thomas Germain, Arno Dorian, and Élise de la Serre, probably because it was missing the Heart. Many centuries later, the Sword found its place in the office of Alan Rikkin, Master Templar and CEO of Abstergo Industries. Simon Hathaway, an Inner Sanctum member and Head of Abstergo's Historical Research department, employed the Animus to locate and retrieve the Heart from the waters of the Seine, reviving the Sword's dormant power. After Alan Rikkin met his demise at the hands of the Assassin Callum Lynch, the Sword was placed among the collection of artifacts of the Templar Order.
|-|Sword of Eden 2=
'''Known Owners:''' [[Genghis Khan]], [[Hülegü Khan]]
'''Current Status:''' Unknown
Forged by the skilled hands of Hephaistos, this Sword of Eden crafted in the shape of a saber emerged as a formidable weapon during the War of Unification. The sword found its way into the hands of renowned leaders such as Genghis Khan and his successors. Like its counterparts, this Sword of Eden granted extraordinary powers to its wielder, while also enhancing their innate charisma and leadership qualities.
|-|Sword of Damokles=
'''Known Owners:''' [[Deimos]], [[Kassandra]], [[Marcus Antonius]]
'''Current Status:''' Unknown
Forged by the Isu scientist Hephaistos during the War of Unification, the sword possessed extraordinary capabilities, granting formidable powers in battle and augmenting the leadership qualities of its wielder. During the late 5th century BCE, it ended in the possession of the enigmatic Cult of Kosmos. They entrusted this legendary weapon to one of their champions, Deimos, grandson of Spartan King Leonidas and a direct descendant of the Precursors. Due to his unique lineage, Deimos was able to harness the sword's potential to its fullest extent. When Kassandra defeated him in combat, the sword fell from the height of Mount Taygetos, apparently losing parts of its immense power.
|-|Sword of Mars - Excalibur=
'''Known Owners:''' [[Romulus]], [[Arthur Pendragon]], [[Eivor Varinsdottir]], [[Niamh of Argyll]]
'''Current Status:''' Hidden by the [[Women of the Mist]]
The Sword of Mars was one of the Swords of Eden, created by the Isu scientist Hephaestus to use in the fight during the War of Unification.
Later, the Isu Mars bestowed this powerful Piece of Eden upon the twins Romulus and Remus. With this sword, Mars aimed to counter the baleful actions of the Isu Juno, laying the foundation for a realm where humans could be free.
When the sword arrived in the lands of Albion, it took the name Excalibur (or Caladfwlch in Welsh). Initially held at Avalon by a Celtic clan called the Women of the Mist, the sword served as a sacred relic and played a crucial role in determining the Lady of Avalon. By the 5th or 6th century, the sword became lodged in a stone and was later pulled out by Arthur Pendragon, who used it to lead Britain against the Anglo-Saxons. After Arthur's betrayal and death, Excalibur, considered one of the thirteen Treasures of Britain, was hidden in an Isu vault beneath Myrddin's Cave.
In the late-9th century, the Viking shieldmaiden Eivor Varinsdottir claimed Excalibur, but different factions, including the Women of the Mist, the Order of the Ancients, and the Descendants of the Round Table, sought to obtain the sword. The sword had become more than a mere weapon; it symbolized control and authority over all of England under one king.
The Women of the Mist entrusted Niamh of Argyll to recover Excalibur and with the help of the Hidden Ones, represented by Hytham and Marcella she successfully safeguarded Excalibur and sought refuge at Valka's. Tensions arose as the Descendants attempted to seize the sword, but Niamh, Valka, and Hytham thwarted their efforts.
Collaborating on a strategic plan, the trio deceived the Descendants with a replica sword, ensuring the safe return of the real Excalibur to Avalon. Niamh presented Excalibur to the Women of the Mist, confirming her destiny as the chosen Lady of Avalon. A few years later, however, the danger posed by the Descendants of the Round Table recurred, and Eivor and Niamh fought together to prevent the sword from falling into the wrong hands.

|-|Durendal=
'''Known Owners:''' [[Roland]], [[Eivor]]
'''Current Status:''' Unknown
This legendary sword was said to be impossible to destroy, and able to carve through solid rock. It was wielded by Roland, the most famous Paladin in the service of Charlemagne.
|-|Harpe of Perseus=
'''Known Owners:''' [[Medusa]], [[Ligeia]], [[Kassandra]]
'''Current Status:''' Unknown
The Harpe was a legendary sword attributed to Perseus, the Greek hero renowned for slaying Medusa and founding the city of Mycenae. It held great significance in the saga of the Writhing Dread. During the tumultuous period of the Peloponnesian War, the Harpe found its way into the possession of Ligeia, the most recent victim to be transformed into the gorgon. When Kassandra emerged victorious over Ligeia she claimed the coveted sword for herself.

=Database: The Shrouds of Eden=
=Database: The Shrouds of Eden=
The study of the groundbreaking work of the Isu scientist Consus on the Shrouds of Eden is considered to be one of the keys to unlocking the secrets of many other Precursor artifacts. Differently from all other Isu creations, the Shrouds resemble pieces of ordinary cloth, possessing extraordinary capabilities of restoration and healing. As we learned, the original Shroud, designed by Consus himself, probably served as a vessel for his consciousness to allow a temporary possession of a living user's body. We also know that several Shrouds were made, although we do not know how many, nor we know much about their powers.
The original Shroud used to be contained within a plain wooden box and can be described as a white cloth stained with blood and bearing the faint imprint of a human shape. Its most renowned owner was probably Jesus of Nazareth, who utilized its powers to heal many followers in his time. Other instances of Shrouds recorded in history include the legendary Golden Fleece of Grecian myth, and Joseph's coat of many colors.
All Shrouds are known to be able to mend wounds, reverse defects, and even amplify an individual's healing prowess and strength, as long as a user maintains contact with one of them. However, despite their astonishing capabilities, Shrouds cannot reverse death — while they can temporarily revive and animate deceased bodies, proper restoration of life remains beyond their reach. Finally, it has been reported that using these artifacts can have dire consequences, as individuals who utilize the Shrouds may be driven to madness or experience physical deterioration.
Our research at Abstergo is shedding some light on the way the Shrouds work. When applied to a body, these artifacts scan for damage and initiate cellular-level reconstruction, even in cases of partial decomposition. This intriguing discovery has sparked further investigation into the possibility of reconstructing actual Isu individuals from existing DNA samples. Our ongoing research into the Shrouds of Eden and the groundbreaking work of Consus continues to unravel the mysteries surrounding these artifacts and their profound influence on our understanding of the Isu civilization.

|-|Shroud of Eden 2=
'''Known Owners:''' [[Edward Kenway]], [[Crawford Starrick]], [[Álvaro Gramática]]
'''Current Status:''' In the hands of Álvaro Gramática
This Shroud of Eden was discovered in the early 18th century by Assassin Edward Kenway, who hid it within the Tower of London. Kenway left clues to the Shroud's whereabouts in his journal, enabling it to be found by future Assassins.
British Templar Grand Master Crawford Starrick found the Shroud in 1868, using it to render himself nearly invincible, but the Assassins were hot on his heels. Starrick was defeated, the artifact returned to the Tower of London once more.
The Shroud remained hidden until 2015. Its reappearance sparked a race between the Assassins and Templars.
|-|Shroud of Eden Unknown=
'''Known Owners:''' Unknown, [[Aleksi]]
'''Current Status:''' Unknown
The Shrouds of Eden are rare artifacts with mysterious healing capabilities whose earliest appearance can be traced back to Greek mythology. This specific Shroud represents one of Juno's first failed experiments to clone the technology developed by Consus. The result is a Shroud of Eden that maintains the original's extraordinary healing properties, significantly improving the wearer's physical faculties, but retains fragments of the consciousnesses of the Isu Consus and Juno. Both consciousnesses can speak with the wearer and attempt to possess them. For this reason, wearing the Shroud of Eden can be dangerous, eventually leading to insanity and death.

=Database: Precursor Relics=
=Database: Precursor Relics=
Many other Precursor relics exist, from the Memory Seals used to record messages by the Capitoline Triad to the Masyaf Keys, on which Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad encoded his own memories. They don't possess the same powers of influencing and controlling displayed by the Pieces of Eden, yet such artifacts have been researched extensively by Templars and Assassins alike. Lesser still than the Precursor relics are later documentation and transcription of Precursor knowledge and information, which are nonetheless the subject of covetous attention. Both the Assassins and the Templars are convinced that, if they can decipher such writing, it will give greater insight into the Precursor civilisation. The Voynich Manuscript, Nicholas Flamel's two-part book of Abraham, as written by Abraham of Würzburg, are two such examples. All of these man-made relics must be unlocked or translated with some sort of key, such as a Precursor Box.
<tabber>
|-|Prize of the Medusa=
'''Known Owners:''' [[Medusa]], [[Ligeia]], [[Kassandra]]
'''Current Status:''' In the [[Gateway to the Lost City]], sealed alongside [[Atlantis]]
"… wield fear as a weapon, may our enemies crumble …" — An Isu voice that emanated from the artifact when Kassandra took it
The Atlantis artifacts were a number of leftover technological devices created as part of the Olympus Project by the Isu Aita and Juno. The Prize of the Medusa was one such object, not only serving as a key to seal the gateway to Atlantis, but also turning its user into the Writhing Dead, a Gorgon capable of petrifying its victims. The Prize of the Medusa was handed from guardian to guardian until seized by Kassandra.
|-|Prophecy Disks=
The intended use of the Prophecy Disks is unclear. Audio-visual messages can be recorded on these disks, which then separate in two – an amulet is then required to activate the message. The Assassin Aveline de Grandpré discovered both parts of such a disk in the Precursor ruins beneath the Mayan city of Chichen Itza, which were then activated with an amulet, The Heart of the Brotherhood.
|-|Shards of Eden=
'''Known Owners:''' Unknown
'''Current Status:''' Unknown
The Shards of Eden are relics of Isu technology, echoing the awe-inspiring power of the original Pieces of Eden from which they were derived. Though fragmented, these artifacts remain potent, retaining a fraction of the formidable power and unique qualities that once flowed through them.
|-|Memory Seal=
'''Known Owners:''' Unknown
'''Current Status:''' Unknown
The Memory Seal is an obscure Precursor relic, apparently capable of storing recorded memories. The small, circular object seems made of wrought metal and stone, resembling ancient Phaistos Disks, featuring symbols, stylized icons, and geometrical shapes.

|-|Pirate Ring of Eden=
'''Known Owners:''' Unknown pirate, Captain “Keelhauling” Jeff
'''Current Status:''' Unknown
Crafted by Idun, an esteemed member of the Æsir lineage of the Isu, the Rings of Eden were a revolutionary invention that harnessed the power of electromagnetic fields. These remarkable rings possessed the ability to deflect projectiles with precision while also effectively neutralizing energy-based weapon discharges. However, wearing the Rings did not provide absolute immunity, and the Isu often employed them alongside shielding devices for enhanced protection and defense.
|-|Hope Diamond=
'''Known Owners:''' [[Jean-Baptiste Tavernier]], [[Louis XIV of France|Louis XIV]], [[Louis XVI of France|Louis XVI]], [[Marie Antoinette]], [[Jean Le Chien]]
'''Current Status:''' Unknown
The history of this massive diamond is surrounded in mystery. The first known buyer was Jean-Baptiste Tavernier. The stone, also called French Blue (Le bleu de France), was sold to King Louis XIV of France in 1668. In 1792, during the French Revolution, the Hope Diamond was stolen from the royal treasury, alongside the other French Crown Jewels.
|-|Aegis of Minerva=
'''Known Owners:''' [[Minerva]], [[Evie Frye]]
'''Current Status:''' Unknown
As the ancient tales go, the Aegis was said to have been worn in battle by the Isu Minerva herself. Many millennia passed, the skilled Assassin Michel Reuge discovered the elusive Aegis in the vicinity of Bath, England. Recognizing its significance, he stashed the artifact in an abandoned bank vault beneath London.

=Database: Precursor Boxes=
=Database: Precursor Boxes=
Precursor Boxes can be used to activate other Pieces of Eden. When triggered, boxes have been known to exhibit all sorts of different effects, such as projecting holograms of maps, deciphering Precursor writing or even imprinting memories from previous owners onto the user.
Although intended to be used in conjunction with an Isu manuscript or another Piece of Eden, it is possible to activate a Precursor Box with a high enough charge of electricity. However, this does risk damaging the artifact.
One particular Precursor Box was given by Ezio Auditore to Shao Jun, a Chinese Assassin, when she sought out his advice in 1524. Since then the Box has resurfaced a number of times, in both Assassin and Templar hands, amongst them Shay Cormac. Álvaro Gramática, Templar and scientist, used the Box in 2016 as part of the Phoenix Project, to help him comprehend the Shroud of Eden he had also obtained.
Many Precursor Boxes have been found, although it is unknown how many have survived.

In his wisdom, Seth entrusted these artifacts to individuals driven by an unwavering need to defend what they hold dear. The rings became a means to find champions worthy of fighting evil without being corrupted by it, a covenant to safeguard the realms of light from the encroaching shadows. These artifacts grant their wearers superhuman feats and the ability to weave a dense network of illusions, transforming the owners' appearance into inhuman and terrifying monsters. The wearer, possessing god-like abilities, is both a custodian of power and a conduit of the ancient Isu's will.
