While sailing, [[Bragi (Viking)|Bragi]] began telling a story. | |||

Frathi the Strong= | |||
*'''Bragi:''' ''During my nineteenth winter, King [[Styrbjorn Sigvaldisson|Styrbjorn]] ordered the construction of a new longhouse, the splendid hall you now see at [[Fornburg]]. To build this longhouse, he employed the help of twenty men. I was among them, as was [[Frathi the Strong|Frathi]], the strongest and stoutest man I had ever seen. We set about felling trees and hewing wood for timber. Frathi was the fastest of us, dropping forty-one trees in only two days. On the third day, a spindly man called [[Nar]] was near upon felling his first tree. He had hacked it all the way around like some mad animal. When the tree fell, it did so in a direction he had not wished, straight down upon Frathi. Nar called out, but it was too late. Frathi had only enough time to turn and face the doom bearing down upon him. With that he raised his arms to embrace the timber-hammer. The force of the tree's falling drove Frathi deep into the snow bank, yet his arms never let go. He held that angry trunk as a lover. Like hounds, we scooped at the snow to reach him. We found Frathi ten feet down, alive but in pain, still bearing the tree upon his shoulder. | |||
The longboat crew cheered. | |||

Nal= | |||
*'''Bragi:''' ''There was a woman called [[Nal]] who came by ship to Fornburg unheralded, demanding to meet King Sigvaldi, Styrbjorn's father. Nal was from [[Gautland]]. She was tall and rugged and strong, and everyone who walked near her said she smelled of men's blood. When her message was sent to our King, Nal was made to wait a full day. Yet she did not complain. She watched the waves and sang songs. Night came and went and still Nal sat by the shore of the fjord, singing her songs. She skipped rocks with children and smiled. As the afternoon of the second day approached, King Sigvaldi's messenger reappeared. They spoke quietly together. At last the messenger stood back and waved to some men nearby. Three men bearing three [[Treasure chest|chests]] of silver approached quickly. They set the chests of silver in Nal's ship and stood back. Then Nal stepped forward, swinging a large bloodied sack before her. Nal opened the sack and emptied it on the shore. Seven pair of hands tumbled to the ground. Nal then mounted her ship and sailed away.'' | |||
The longboat crew began murmuring amongst each other. | |||

Onarr the Ugly= | |||
*'''Bragi:''' ''[[Onarr the Ugly]] was an excellent sailor, who could pilot a longship entirely on his own, and this is why King [[Sigvaldi]] kept him around. In all other matters, Onarr was a cruel, anxious, and humorless man. He was one of the most unlikable people I have ever known. One year, I recall we had invited some ''{{Wiki|Churl|karls}}'' from the {{Wiki|Yngling}} clan to dine with us. As we were serving ale, we came to find that we had none left. It so happened that the ale had run out just before reaching Onarr's horn. This raised in him a word-storm and he accused Sigvaldi of treachery. Every man in the longhouse jeered at Onarr for raising such a fuss. This made Onarr angrier than before, and he stormed out. A short time later we heard him yelling through door of the hall, "I set this {{Wiki|Nithing pole|scorn pole}} upon the men of Yngling for their dishonor!" We looked outside and saw that Onarrhad severed one of the heads of the Yngling's [[horse]]s and stuck it upon a hazel branch. When he saw us gathering at the door, the Yngling Karls among us, Onarr panicked and ran. He was not seen for many months.'' | |||

The stolen mead keg= | |||
*'''Bragi:''' ''When I was eleven winters old, I was the youngest of my favorite cousins, a wild and rowdy bunch of boys and girls. Together with our parents, we attended a feast at the home of [[Halfdan the Black]], of the House of Ynling. To toughen our patience, our parents set us with the old woman who ordered us to bake flatbreads and serve it to the noble ''jarls''. After an hour, the flatbreads piled so high into pillars you could have built a roof over it and called it a longhouse. When our work was done, an older boy, [[Guthrod]], suggested we steal a keg of [[mead]] and drown in happiness for our good work. So Guthrod and [[Mikkel]] and [[Osa]] snuck into the storeroom and stole a barrel as I stood watch. But when we were spotted, I froze. Three of [[Harald Fairhair|Harald]]'s men stopped us. They struck Guthrod and Mikkel and pushed Osa to the ground. "Whose idea was this?" they asked. I stood and said, "The idea was mine, the mead is for me!" One of the men eyed me and said only, "That is not true." Then they moved on.'' | |||
The longboat crew began murmuring amongst each other. | |||

Egil= | |||
*'''Bragi:''' ''Some years ago I took to sea with a [[sword]]-dancer called [[Egil Skallagrimsson|Egil]]. A brooding warrior with a face of stone and oak-hard arms. One a raid in [[Courland]], we shored up along the edge of a forest and explored until we came to peopled parts. A large farm. It was night and all were asleep so we set about plundering the place in the quiet of eve, taking [[sheep]] and [[goat]]s as we pleased. It was then that Egil saw a farm-hand and pressed the boy for the family's hidden [[silver]]. The farm-hand squawked like a crow. Being hid beneath an anvil at the smith's forge, the silver was no trouble to lift. In secret, we took it and the boy back to the ship. It was then that Egil grew sad, for when the farmers woke with the crack of day, they would know they had been robbed, but not by whom. So Egil ordered three of us to follow him, back the sleep-hushed hamlet. As we burned the houses, Egil shouted his name... "I am Egil, son of [[Skallagrim]]! And I am the man who deprives you of everything but your life!" I never sailed with Egil again.'' | |||

Sarcastic Halli= | |||
*'''Bragi:''' ''Here's a tale to tickle your sides. The winter before, I was drinking in [[Stavanger]] with some companions. With us in the meadhall were men of Bard Jarl's clan, one of which was a poet named [[Halli]], called Sarcastic Halli by most. Seven ale-horns into his night, Halli stood upon his table and called across the room to another man, a ''[[skald]]'' named [[Thjodolf]]. "Thjodolf!" he yelled, "I can compose a more beautiful poem with my belching than you could with your tongue and fine words!" The room laughed, Thjodolf loudest of all. "I accept your challenge, Sarcastic Halli," he shouted. "Allow me to begin!" Thjoldolf then spoke his verse: ''"Sad Halli drowns in horns of hubris, squeaking like a {{Wiki|stoat}}, yet proudly the [[Dog|pup]] calls it poetry!"'' The room laughed again, with Halli joining in. Then Halli tripped across the room and opened his mouth to speak his verse. From his throat erupted a jet of vomit, into Thjodolf's face... his only composition that night, of which he seemed most proud.'' | |||
The longboat crew burst into laughter. | |||
{{!}}-{{!}} | |||
Kalda= | |||
*'''Bragi:''' ''In my youth, I remember hearing the story of [[Kalda]], a fierce young woman whose father forbade her from swordplay and raids. Kalda had skill to match or surpass any man in the clan. And so it was that her beloved [[Gapi]] asked her aboard his ship. Once again, Kalda's father forbade her to leave, calling her soft and weak and fragile. But Kalda ignored these insults and left. For a full spring, Kalda and Gapi sailed the coast of [[Francia]], raiding and plundering and taking much silver and riches. Then, in the early weeks of summer, a passing ship gave Kalda news that her mother had died suddenly, Kalda was grief stricken. Kalda returned quickly home, only to find her mother there, alive and standing quietly beside her father. Kalda was confused. Kalda's father spoke in a sour voice: "I sent the tale of your mother's death, for you were insolent. But now you are home, where you must stay." Hearing those words, Kalda pulsed hot with rage. She slew her father and fled back to her ship, then set a swift sail for the horizon.'' | |||

{{#tag:tabber| | |||
Soma of Grantebridge= | |||
[[Soma]] of [[Cambridge|Grantebridge]]. For a time, all the [[Ealdorman|ealdormen]] of England wanted her dead. A bounty on her head the size of Yggdrasil. So she met with the leader of the [[Gyrwas|South Gyrwans]] and told their King [[Roffe]], "Say that you killed me. Proclaim it to all of the lands." Roffe answered, "No one will believe me." And Soma shook her head. "Invite them. Here. You will burn me on a pyre for all to see." So they came, the nobles of [[East Anglia]], north and south, of Mercia, of Wessex. They wished to see Guthrum's Valkyrie die. Before all, King Roffe pronounced her guilty of murder and sentenced her to death. Then they put her on a boat and set it afire. Yet Soma had constructed a trap beneath the pyre. She released herself into the murky waters and swam to a bramble. Muddled and wet, she waited in the thorns for night to fall. She then returned to Cambridge as a shadow-walker. She entered the city and stole into the king's chamber, and took the head of Roffe, shouting, "Traitors of Soma wear no heads!" The [[Anglo-Saxons|Saxons]] though Soma a ghost! A spirit who kills! A curse invincible to fire and death! What a leader, my Soma.'' | |||

While sailing, [[Rollo]] began telling a story. | |||
{{#tag:tabber| | |||
Kjotve the Cruel= | |||
*'''Rollo:''' ''It was a man called Kjotve the Cruel that brought me to these rain-soaked shores. You all know the name, of that I am certain. He and my father, [[Rognvald Eysteinsson|Rognvald]], had some disagreements. But my father was never one to bow his head and keep silent. Kjotve's men came for him when I was out hunting. I was not there to defend him. And then when my brother [[Gurim]] also fell... I, like a coward, fled to England. I swore that in time I would return to avenge my father's death. But I waited too long. Upon my return from [[Francia]], I heard the news. Kjotve the Cruel is long dead. Slain by the hand of Eivor, the Wolf-Kissed one. I am glad my father's killer is dead. But gods, I wish I had been there to swing the axe myself.'' | |||
{{!}}-{{!}} | |||
Nori= | |||
*'''Rollo:''' ''I had an odd friend when I was a boy. His name was [[Nori]]. And by the gods, that boy could lie! Told us his father traded with the elves. Told us he had kissed sweet Hannah. Said he had seen a giant in the woods. Well, one day we decided we would see about him. So we dared him to take us to the place he saw the giant. He twisted and turned, but at least he agreed. The thing is, I had been out there already. I had taken up a big rock and made footprints in the soft earth. Heels and toes. Giant's feet. When he saw those prints, he went white as a virgin's britches. Everyone made out they were scared. And then... "WHO'S THAT WALKING THROUGH MY WOOD?" I howled from the trees, and I trashed the branches all around. Nori screamed like a maiden and took to his heels. By the smell of it, he emptied his arse on the way. He told us, afterwards, he knew it was a trick, but he never did go near those woods again.'' | |||

First kill= | |||
*'''Rollo:''' ''Death follows in my wake. I do not seek it out, but it is always there, nipping at my heels like a faithful hound. [[Gilli]] was my first kill. He was twelve, I was six. He beat me every day, to my eternal shame. One day, I'd had enough. I decided to play a trick on him. I stole his mother's {{Wiki|torc}} and tied it to the tail of the ''[[jarl]]''{{'}}s [[horse]]. Then I let him chase me into the stables, where I hid. He saw the torc and went for it. And when he did, I took my stick and whipped that stallion right in the balls! The stallion bucked, kicked Gilli right in the face. He never bullied me again after that. You know... because he was dead. That was the end of Gilli's saga.'' | |||

Le choix du bleuet comme symbole de mémoire et de solidarité remonte à la Première Guerre Mondiale en 1916 : c’est l’une des rares fleurs qui poussaient sur les champs de bataille criblés d’obus (à l’instar du coquelicot, qui a la même fonction symbolique en Angleterre).
Né en Suisse, le marquis de Besenval est emprisonné en 1789, accusé à tort d’avoir fomenté l’incendie de Paris et le massacre de ses habitants. Au contraire il retira ses troupes de Paris le 12 juillet face à l’inaction du gouvernement, ce qui permit la prise de la Bastille.
En 1789, une église de la Communauté des Filles Pénitentes se tenait à proximité : “Saint-Valère”. Elle accueillait des filles de “mauvaise vie”. La basilique Sainte-Clotilde la remplaça. Sa forme actuelle date de 1857. Elle a une jumelle en Chine datant du 19ème siècle.
La Chapelle de Jésus Enfant vit le mariage de Jacques Chirac et Bernadette Chodron de Courcel. L’ancêtre de celle-ci, Joseph Chodron, rejoignit l’Armée des Princes (constituée d'émigrés français) au côté du Prince de Condé en 1789 pour lutter contre la Révolution.
Louis XVI était grand amateur de serrures et d’horloges. Il préférait passer plus de temps dans son atelier qu’avec sa reine.
Le palais des princes de Condé n’abrita le conseil des Cinq-Cents, ancêtre du parlement qu'à partir du 21 janvier 1798. Il servit un temps de prison révolutionnaire puis à l'École polytechnique . Le drapeau tricolore n’entra à l'Assemblée nationale qu'en janvier 2007.
Le Nôtre a redessiné les jardins des Tuileries en 1664. Il a aussi conçu ceux de Versailles pour le Roi Soleil. Ses jardins cachent sans doute des secrets ! Peut-être faudrait-il aller à Versailles : le jardinier avait aussi une collection d'art digne d'un cabinet de curiosités !
Le premier vol en ballon à dihydrogène habité a eu lieu aux Tuileries, le 27 août 1783. Il fut mené par Charles, un physicien et chimiste, accompagné par les frères Robert, aéronautes et ingénieurs.
Le 25 octobre 1836, l’obélisque est dressé sur la Concorde. L'ingénieur de la machine qui le souleva, Jean-Baptiste Apollinaire Lebas, resta en-dessous. Si l'opération échouait, il mourrait sans en subir la honte. Qu’est-ce qu'on ne ferait pas pour sauver son honneur ?
Catherine de Médicis, veuve du roi Henri II, fit construire le Palais des Tuileries en 1564. Elle tint à exprimer son histoire dans le palais, notamment à travers des symboles sur les colonnes. Le palais fut incendié lors de la Commune de Paris du 23 au 26 mai 1871.
Cette figure est un quadrige. Serait-ce celui de la place Saint-Marc, ou sa copie sur l'arc de Triomphe du Carrousel ? L’original date du 2ème siècle et fut rapporté par les vénitiens de Constantinople en 1204 puis volé par Napoléon et ses troupes en 1797.
L'Armoire de Fer renfermait de nombreux secrets de Louis XVI dont ses correspondances avec des hommes politiques. Elle fut découverte par les révolutionnaires à la suite de la trahison du serrurier du roi, Germain, qui vendit la mèche.
Il existe un coffre fort similaire aux Archives Nationales de l’Hôtel de Soubise, renfermant de nombreux documents précieux comme le Serment du Jeu de Paume, et la Déclaration des Droits de l’Homme et du Citoyen.
Louis XVI passait du temps dans son atelier, mais étudiait également beaucoup. Féru de sciences, il parlait couramment anglais et s’était passionné pour géographie et la marine.
Offertes par le peintre Claude Monet à la France le lendemain même de l'armistice du 11 novembre 1918 comme symbole de la paix. Les Nymphéas sont installés selon ses plans au musée de l'Orangerie en 1927, quelques mois après sa mort.
Ever since Darius, a Proto-Assassin, eliminated the Persian king Xerxes,
the hidden blade has become the signature weapon of the Brotherhood of Assassins.
It is usually hidden using an armband and can be deployed in a flash, revealing a formidably sharp point. Thanks to modifications made by Altaïr, you no longer need to cut off a finger to use it to its best advantage. Some Assassins, however, continue to mutilate themselves out of tradition and devotion to the Brotherhood.Made under duress by Leonardo da Vinci for the Baron de Valois, this pistol of rare precision includes several innovations never seen on weapons of this era. It can be immediately identified thanks to its golden metal spinning wheel.
In Venice, the Doge is the first magistrate of the republics of Venice and Genoa. He is elected for life. From the Palazzo Ducale, he leads the armies, presides over the Senate, can declare war and sign peace. He is responsible for the Council of Ten, an assembly made up of the lords of the most powerful Venetian families. The current Doge, elected in 1501, is Leonardo Loredan. He is a cultured merchant and a fine politician.
Gian Giacomo Caprotti da Oreno, born in 1480, is the most famous of Leonardo da Vinci's apprentices. He maintains an ambiguous relationship with the Maestro, made of a deep friendship, but also of some mischief due to the young apprentice's passion for gambling. A few years ago, this passion almost cost the Assassins dearly when Salaì failed to keep track of his mission: Protect Leonardo. Fortunately his courage, his insight and some decisive help from Ezio allowed the Assassins to find the Maestro safe and sound. Salaì would do just about anything for Leonardo da Vinci, and the feeling is probably mutual.
Leonardo da Vinci, aged 57 in 1509, is one of those rare people who are gifted in all they choose to do. His first meeting with Ezio was more than thirty years ago and Ezio still carries the hidden blade that the genius repaired and upgraded for him. As a staunch ally, Leonardo enabled the Assassins to technologically surpass their Templar enemies thanks to numerous inventions, including the flying machine. The Maestro, as we sometimes call him, has the habit of appearing without warning, whether in Rome, Florence or where he is now, Venice.
Niccolò Orsini di Pitigliano (1442 - 1510) was a Leader of Italian mercenaries. He was the Captain-General of the Venetians during the war against the Cambrai league.
Niccolò di Bernardo dei Machiavelli, born in 1469, is a Florentine with many talents. Philosopher, politician and member of the Brotherhood of Assassins since he was 19, Niccolò is one of those who allowed Ezio to join the Brotherhood. He is a powerful enemy of the Borgias and has helped Ezio dismantle one of their bases in Rome. He faithfully supports Ezio in all circumstances, despite the apparent discord between the two men. It was probably at his request that Niccolò temporarily left his native Florence to lend a hand once again to the Assassins in Rome. His political visions will have to wait a few more years before being written down on paper in his famous book: The Prince.
The Bocca di Leone ("Lion's Mouth") were boxes made for denunciation. They often bore the shape of a human or animal mouth. Some were dedicated to various types of accusations: Concealment of income, favors, misdemeanors linked to public health, etc. Denunciations could not be completely anonymous (except in case of emergency) and were processed according to a sophisticated investigation system. The lion sometimes appeared on the boxes as a reference to the Lion of Venice, emblem of the Republic.
The Assassins know the secrets of a civilization that existed long before humanity. lts members were known under the names Isus, Precursors or First Civilization. Some elements of their technology have endured, such as the Pieces of Eden. As rare as they are powerful, they have been used repeatedly to influence the course of humankind's history. The Assassins are trying by all means to prevent Templars from finding and using the fragments.
Among the Pieces of Eden, the Staves were created to take control of the body and mind of humans. Used properly, they are an extremely powerful instrument of control, which can be used for good or evil. Doubt remains as to whether their extraordinary powers, such as levitation or invisibility, are real or are simply illusions.
The famous Lion of Venice is none other than a representation of Saint Mark, decorated with wings inspired by the Bible. When its fore paws are crossed, one rests on the ground and the other on the water, symbolizing the balance of Venetian powers between land and water. When depicted with a book, it symbolizes peace, whereas it is sometimes holding a sword during periods of armed conflict.
The Animus was originally a technological project of Abstergo Industries, a facade for the Order of the Templars. Thanks to a DNA fragment, it allows the person who is connected to explore and relive the memories of their ancestors - their Genetic Memories. Improved over time, used by both Assassins and Templars, the latest versions of the Animus are no longer dependent on the user's DNA and allow anyone to explore the memories of a subject as long as they have their DNA. The newest versions of the Animus, HR-8 and HR-8.5, developed under the supervision of Sophia Rikkin and Layla Hassan, are now portable and do away with the need to use a DNA sample. The Memory only needs to be saved in order to share it with others. However, it happens that the Animus experiences some failures when displaying the Memories. These are the glitches that Assassins sometimes fear. It is rumored that some of these glitches may have been intentionally introduced into the Animus code by the Templars... If so, only an Assassin from the present day can help us!
Lucrezia Borgia, from a famous family of Templars, is cruel and merciless, just like her brother Cesare. Her use of excessive violence and her poisonings are almost legendary. Bold and independent, she defied social conventions by entertaining many romantic relationships during her numerous marriages. The few people who have really known her have been able to recognize the fragility beneath her arrogance and violence, no doubt linked to her family's turbulent history. During her two encounters with Ezio, they both tried to take advantage of the situation by playing the muddle game of seduction. She is still mad with rage at having let herself be taken in by her own game. She ruminates on a revenge that will certainly be terrible.

When Leonardo da Vinci was forced to create war machines for the Borgias in 1499, his creative genius took over and he invented a whole system of combat automatons - it was still theoretical at that time - that can be set up in advance so that they travel a certain distance before setting off the bomb they are harboring. Overcome by remorse, he managed to hide his blueprints, but the Borgias were finally able to get their hands on them and turned them over to the Favero, who managed to finalize them. Fortunately, the Brotherhood also managed to create working prototypes thanks to Leonardo.
This small group of fierce Templars aims to fight the Assassins with their own methods. Trained like true counter-Assassins, the Crows are specialists in disguise, infiltration and, of course, assassination. They all wear clothes and accessories that evoke their favorite animal, the crow. Moreover their former leader, Sirus Favero, was nicknamed il corvo (the raven). In an attempt to preserve their anonymity, they use the names of the 4 Horsemen of the Apocalypse. The Assassins will have to face the four Crows led by Cesare Borgia including the formidable Matteo Favero, son of the historic leader of the Crows.
This megacorporation, created in 1937, is the result of a strategy of the Order of the Temple to sustainably transform the world and make it conform to the values and visions of the Templars. Today, it is a sprawling conglomerate that extends its sinister wings over sectors as varied as medical, pharmaceutical or video game industries. Abstergo is the inventor of the Animus.
