The '''Shields of Mars'''  were a secretive group of guardians founded by [[Romulus]], the first [[Roman Kingdom|king]] of [[Rome]], acting in remorse after murdering his brother, [[Remus]]. Inspired by him, Romulus made the traits he admired in his brother part of the principles that led the group: as in life Remus had an undisciplined spirit, constantly challenging the status quo and questioning authority with deep sense of justice and a burning desire for equality, so would be the Shields of Mars.<ref name="Wolves">''[[Assassin's Creed Roleplaying Game]] – [[Forging History]]'' – [[Of Wolves and Men]]</ref> In that manner, the group shared many principles with the Assassin Brotherhood.<ref name="Hook">''[[Assassin's Creed Roleplaying Game]] – [[Legacy of the Brotherhood]]'' – Adventure Hooks: Ezio Auditore #2</ref>
==History==
In 717 BCE, king Romulus rested with members of the Shields of Mars at his [[Domus Regia|residence]], when a [[Naevia|woman]] burst in to warn them of a plot to [[Assassination|assassinate]] Romulus that had been concocted by an [[Thresu|Etruscan priest]] from a larger [[Cult of Uni|unknown group]] that managed to persuade {{Wiki|Senate of the Roman Kingdom|senators}}, ''pater familias'', and militia captains. Prompted into action, the Shield of Mars reached the [[Temple of Laran]], spotting men and women in fine clothes and bronze masks, each accompanied by personal [[Soldier|guards]]. The group infiltrated the temple and collected information about the traitors and their plan, before killing the mastermind during their ritual, hoping the superstitious Romans might perceive it as a bad omen.<ref name="Conspiracy">''[[Assassin's Creed Roleplaying Game]] – [[Forging History]]'' – [[The First Conspiracy]]</ref>
With the Shields of Mars having killed the priest,<ref name="Conspiracy">''[[Assassin's Creed Roleplaying Game]] – [[Forging History]]'' – [[The First Conspiracy]]</ref> Romulus decided to go ahead with the speech. The following day, at the Palus Caprae of the Campus Martius, Romulus addressed his troops until he was cut off by a violent storm that led most present to scatter for cover and for the traitors to attempt to kill the king. Aided by the Shields of Mars once again, Romulus escaped towards the Temple of Laran, intending to hide his [[Excalibur|sword]] in the very same underground chamber he received it in. Using the pommel of the sword to open a secret door, Romulus led the group to the [[Temple (Isu)|vault]] beneath the temple, where they were attacked by a [[Werewolf|Versipellis]], a 10 feet tall [[wolf]] man with superhuman strength. Though a formidable adversary, the Versipellis was defeated and, in his final moments, he returned to reason and rejected the [[Prize of the Versipellis|gift]] given to him by [[Mars (deity)|Mars]], reverting into his original form of [[Remus]].

The '''Temple of Laran''' was a temple on the banks of the [[Tiber]], dedicated to the {{Wiki|Etruscan religion|Etruscan}} god of war, [[Laran]].<ref name="Conspiracy">''[[Assassin's Creed Roleplaying Game]] – [[Forging History]]'' – [[The First Conspiracy]]</ref> It stands atop an [[Isu]] [[Temple (Isu)|vault]].<ref name="Wolves">''[[Assassin's Creed Roleplaying Game]] – [[Forging History]]'' – [[Of Wolves and Men]]</ref>

In 754 BCE, [[Romulus]] and [[Remus]] entered the vault beneath the temple, where the Isu [[Mars (deity)|Mars]] appeared in front of the twins and gave them his [[Excalibur|Sword of Eden]].

By 717 BCE, the temple was being used by the [[Cult of Uni]], a secret organization that sought to control the known world. Worshippers of [[Juno|Uni]], they went so far as to trade the effigies inside the temple to portray her instead. There, on the eve of a planned [[assassination]] of king Romulus, the group gathered to officiate a propitiatory ritual, though the meeting was infiltrated by members of the [[Shields of Mars]], a group founded by Romulus to defend Rome from the shadows. The Shields of Mars collected information about the traitors and their plan before killing Thresu during the ritual, hoping the superstitious Romans might perceive it as a bad omen.<ref name="Conspiracy"/>
The following day, the Shields of Mars escorted Romulus to the temple, fleeing an attack at the [[Campus Martius]]. Romulus, intending to hide his sword in the very same underground chamber he received it in, led the group to the vault, where they were attacked by Remus, now a 10 feet tall [[wolf]] man with superhuman strength. Though a formidable adversary, Remus was eventually defeated and, in his final moments, he returned to reason and rejected his hatred and the gift given to him by Mars, reverting into his original form.

######The Witnesses explore a long-forgotten sanctuary in the Roman countryside. As they prowl its ancient halls, they uncover its history, revealing the legacy of a secret circle of guardians founded by [[Romulus]]: the [[Shields of Mars]]. Intriguingly, this circle shared many principles with the Assassin Brotherhood. Empowered by this knowledge, the Witnesses embark on a quest to retrieve a Piece of Eden, fortifying the [[Italian Brotherhood of Assassins|Brotherhood]]'s foothold in the region while uncovering the truth behind Romulus and his connection to the Assassins.

==Intro==
The opening in the cave ceiling lets out the smoke of the flames that illuminates the [[Domus Regia]], the King's House. Flickering light plays over the image of the god [[Mars]] engraved on the [[bronze]] [[shield]] hanging over Romulus' seat. The ninth hour has passed, and you are resting around the hearth, eating [[honey]]-glazed mushrooms on the eve of the King's speech to the troops, on the Campus Martius. A [[hood]]ed woman named [[Naevia]] runs into the Domus, gasping for breath. Bending down on one knee, she reports of an assassination plan aimed at the King! Some of the {{Wiki|Senate of the Roman Kingdom|senators}}, ''pater familias'', and militia captains, unhappy with the King's politics, have been persuaded by an unknown group that Romulus has softened to such an extent that Rome risks conquest. Behind the conspiracy is a shady Etruscan man whose identity Naevia has yet to discover.


==Key objectives==
<tabber>
|-|1 - LISTEN TO THE CONSPIRATORS' SPEECH=
In the heart of the swamps north of the [[Tiber]] River stands an old temple dedicated to [[Laran]], the {{Wiki|Etruscan religion|Etruscan god}} of war. Despite this, the effigies that now decorate the temple portray the goddess [[Juno|Uni]] instead. Before putting an end to the conspiracy, the Witnesses must identify who is behind the assassination plan and what their intentions are should they successfully kill the King.


The Etruscan Priest is officiating an important ritual to the gods in the ancient temple of Laran, north of the Campus Martius over the Tiber River. You are the Shields of Mars—you must stop this conspiracy before it can develop any further. Once you reach the temple, you spot men and women in fine clothes, their identities concealed behind bronze masks, each accompanied by personal [[Soldier|guards]].
{{Era|Organizations}}
;Challenges
{{Pre-release|[[Assassin's Creed Roleplaying Game]]}}
*''Entering the Temple:'' The Witnesses must find a way to enter the Temple of Laran, where the traitors will participate in the ritual. The Witnesses employ stealth, disguise, or cunning to gain access to the restricted area without raising suspicion.
The '''Cult of Uni''' were a secretive collective that operated throughout the [[Italy|Italian]] peninsula during the [[Roman Kingdom|early Roman period]]. Worshipping [[Juno|Uni]], they plotted to control the known world. They operated out of the [[Temple of Laran]] in the swamps north of the [[Tiber]], even trading the temple effigies for ones that portrayed Uni.<ref name="Conspiracy">''[[Assassin's Creed Roleplaying Game]] – [[Forging History]]'' – [[The First Conspiracy]]</ref>
*''Body Guards:'' Personal guards accompany each of the guests. Some stay close to their wards, while others remain discretely around the temple's perimeter. If the Witnesses are not disguised as guests, any Stealth check made to infiltrate the structure requires 1 Raise.
*''Make the Traitors Talk:'' If the Witnesses are able to [[Interrogation|interrogate]] any of the participants in the ritual, they can identify most of the conspirators, as they can be recognized despite their masks by their posture or voice. As far as their motives are concerned, some seem to be here merely out of curiosity, while others are convinced of the need for betrayal and are persuading others. Before taking action against the Etruscan Priest, in order to try to gain enough information the Witnesses must make at least 3 separate Approach checks.<br><br>During the completion of this Challenge, the Witnesses discover one of the following pieces of information for each successful Approach check:
#The source of Romulus' power is the magical sword he has carried since his first battle. It is imperative to steal it from him.
#The goddess Uni (Juno) herself has ordered the Etruscan to oust the ailing Romulus to create a new order to rule and subjugate Rome.
#Senator Caius of the {{Wiki|Gens}} (Family) {{Wiki|Galeria gens|Galeria}} is the spokesman for the Etruscan within the walls of Rome and has long been operating in the shadows to recruit the traitors gathered here tonight.
;Weaknesses
*''Dead Traitors Wear No Masks (minor):'' The characters could ambush any conspirators arriving late, posing as them to enter the temple, speak with the other guests, and get close to the Etruscan. This can overcome the ''Bodyguards'' and ''Cultists'' Challenges, or give the Witnesses a Free Raise when facing the ''Make the Traitors Talk'' Challenge.
|-|2 - ASSASSINATE THE ETRUSCAN PRIEST DURING THE RITUAL=
After trying to collect information about the traitors involved and their plan to kill Romulus the next day during his speech to the troops at the [[Palus Caprae]] (Goat Marsh), the Witnesses can proceed with their own assassination. The Priest has declared that he can feel a great spiritual force in the temple's foundations and its alignment with the full [[moon]] about to rise. If the Etruscan Priest were to be "accidentally" killed during the ritual, the superstitious Romans might perceive it to be a very bad omen, casting a pall over the whole idea of a conspiracy.


Apparently, [[Thresu]]—the Etruscan Priest of Uni, the mighty goddess you all know as Juno—has sensed an otherworldly force pulsating beneath the Laran temple's foundations. As the moon ascends in the dark sky, the priest narrates how it aligns with cosmic forces beyond mortal comprehension in a crescendo that guides the ritual to its final step, which needs all lights but the moon's to be extinguished. Time to [[The Creed|work in the dark to serve the light]]: a mishap or an accident during the sacred rites might cast an ominous shadow over the conspirators' designs...
==History==
;Challenges
In 717 BCE, [[Thresu]], a priest of Uni and one of the cult's most prominent members, infiltrated Roman, {{Wiki|Sabines|Sabine}}, and {{Wiki|Latins|Latin}} society, managing to convince prominent ''pater familias'', captains, and {{Wiki|Senate of the Roman Kingdom|senators}} into his conspiracy against king Romulus, promising conquest and power while slowly indoctrinating them into the cult. Senator [[Caius Galerius]] worked as Thresu's spokesman within the city walls, long operating in the shadows to recruit enough traitors for the plan. The murder was part of a larger plan that envolved stealing Romulus' [[Excalibur|Sword of Eden]] following his death in order to create a new order to rule and subjugate Rome, as demanded by Uni herself.<ref name="Conspiracy"/>
*''Move Undetected:'' Setting the plan in motion without being detected by the many guards in the temple and by the circle of cultists who guard the altar is very difficult unless the Witnesses use diversions and camouflage techniques.
*''Set the Trap:'' Whatever idea the Witnesses come up with to assassinate the Etruscan Priest and make it seem like the will of the gods, it requires 3 separate Approach checks.
;Weaknesses
*''Whispers (minor):'' Not all of the guests are convinced by the Priest's words. The Witnesses can try to instill doubt in the minds of those present: the Priest is a foreigner, he has gathered everyone in a foreign temple, and is inviting them to enter the cult of a foreign goddess. This can lower by 1 the number of separate Approach checks required to overcome the ''Set the Trap in Motion'' Challenge.

==Notable NPCs==
As the cult gathered in the temple to officiate the propitiatory ritual for the King's assassination, their reunion was infiltrated by members of the [[Shields of Mars]], a group founded by Romulus to defend Rome from the shadows.

;Thresu, Etruscan Priest of Uni
 
A great public speaker and natural charmer, Thresu is one of the most prominent members of the Cult of Uni, a shadowy collective that operates throughout the [[Italy|Italian]] peninsula. The cult worships a goddess called Uni, Juno's Etruscan counterpart, and plots to control the known world. Thresu has started infiltrating every corner of Roman, {{Wiki|Sabines|Sabine}}, and {{Wiki|Latins|Latin}} society, even bringing some prominent ''pater familias'', captains, and {{Wiki|Senate of the Roman Kingdom|senators}} into his conspiracy against Romulus. By doing this, he pulls the wool over their eyes with promises of conquest and power while slowly indoctrinating them into the cult of the ancient Isu Juno.

''When a violent storm whips up during a speech by [[Romulus]], a handful of killers take advantage of the chaos to try to [[Assassination|assassinate]] the [[Monarchy|monarch]].

After [[Romulus]] stabbed [[Remus]] to death in the [[Temple (Isu)|vault]] beneath the [[Temple of Laran]] and fled, the [[Isu]] [[Mars (deity)|Mars]] manifested and gave a dying Remus the artifact, meantioning that it that would save his life, at the cost of diminishing his free will and turning him into a [[Werewolf|Versipellis]]. Decades later, in 717 BCE, Romulus returned to the vault to hide his [[Excalibur|Sword of Eden]], accompannied by the [[Shields of Mars]] when Remus attacked the group, now a 10 feet tall [[wolf]] man with superhuman strength.

|-|1 - PROTECT THE KING=
The Witnesses must protect Romulus and avoid getting killed themselves in the attempt. The heavy rain and mist make it difficult to fight back the killers, as well as covering their escape.


Amidst the chaos, killers wearing dark tunics and [[bronze]] masks emerge from the mist, armed with [[bow]]s and [[Short blade|daggers]]. Their target is clearly Romulus. They approach menacingly, bowstrings taut. It looks like your actions at the temple were not enough to stamp out this conspiracy. The King of Rome is in danger!

*''Protect the King! (minor):'' There are still a number of loyal guards nearby, and a Witness might leave the combat to muster a handful to the King's side, turning the tide of battle in his favor. In this case, only 2 Approach checks are required to defeat the ''Daggers of Uni'' Challenge, and the Approach checks made to overcome the ''Arrows of Uni'' Challenge require no Raise.
|-|2 - CONFRONT THE GUARDIAN=
The [[Instruments of the First Will|Cultists of Uni]] want to end Romulus' reign and seize the [[Excalibur|Sword of Mars]]. By now, it is clear that they have poisoned the minds of many {{Wiki|Patrician (ancient Rome)|patricians}} and {{Wiki|Senate of the Roman Kingdom|senators}}, and the King has no choice than to take drastic action: Romulus leads the Witnesses to a mysterious underground temple beneath the Temple of Laran. Beyond a secret door known only to him is an Isu Vault hidden dozens of feet below the surface. However, neither the Witnesses nor the King of Rome know that a fierce beast lurks in the shadows of the vault, waiting for them.


The wind dies down and the mist clears, allowing you to see a few feet further than you did moments before. The rain, for its part, shows no sign of abating, your path now a veritable quagmire. Following you should at least prove impossible. The small steps of the Temple of Laran appear before you once again, leading to welcome shelter. Inside, the abandoned bronze masks still lie on the cold ground, as does the body of the Priest of Uni.
In 717 BCE, king [[Romulus]] rested with his [[Shields of Mars|followers]] in the house, eating [[honey]]-glazed mushrooms on the eve of a speech to the troops at [[Campus Martius]], when a [[Naevia|woman]] burst in to warn them of a plot to [[Assassination|assassinate]] Romulus that had been concocted by an [[Thresu|Etruscan man]] who was part of a larger [[Cult of Uni|unknown group]].<ref name="Conspiracy">''[[Assassin's Creed Roleplaying Game]] – [[Forging History]]'' – [[The First Conspiracy]]</ref>


Under your questioning gaze, Romulus advances with a decisive step towards a wall, feeling it with his left hand until he locates a particular carving. Sighing, the King draws his [[sword]], inserting its pommel into the carving. With a resounding "click", geometric lines glow an intense yellow, a loud noise of grinding [[stone]] echoes through the temple and a secret door opens diagonally in the wall. What lies beyond is alien to Roman technology in every way. The King of Rome enters the dark, smooth tunnel behind the door and descends into the Earth's belly, down to an immense circular hall beneath a 25-foot-high dome. Perfectly square monoliths rise around the hall's perimeter, each bearing indecipherable geometric shapes and glimmering with a soft bluish glow.
==Behind the scenes==
Historically, the Regia was built by [[Numa Pompilius]], the second king of Rome.<ref name="Wiki"/>


Before you have taken in what you are witnessing, a terrible growl breaks the air. Two glowing yellow eyes blink open. A massive, snarling shape darts toward you, swift and lethal as a predator.

After the confusion of the initial attack, the Witnesses finally see what confronts them: a humanoid creature about 10 feet tall, with a massive, sinewy structure covered by dark, shaggy fur and tatters of ancient clothes. The beast's huge hands end in tremendous claws, and the head resembles that of a giant [[wolf]] with glowing yellow eyes.

The monstrous being, a grotesque hybrid of man and wolf, clenches its claws, ready to rend and tear once again. However, it stands still for a moment to let you look at its figure. And so you do, and your eyes stare at that beast long enough to understand it's not just a bad dream. No, you just stumbled upon one of the terrors from {{Wiki|Etruscan religion|Etruscan}} and Latin legend: the dreaded [[wikt:versipellis|Versipellis]], commonly known as a werewolf.

"All these years... enough! [[Mars]]! I refuse your gift! I renounce my revenge! I renounce hatred! I renounce this corrupt existence. As I finally take my last steps toward {{Wiki|Avernus}}." The voice of Remus echoes in the hall as the monster calls for surrender and falls to his knees. The creature collapses heavily on the ground. As if a ritual or a curse were breaking, his unnatural eyes change to a warm hazel color, while its feral limbs slowly return to those of a young man. A thin line of blood trickles slowly from the fallen body towards the Witnesses' feet. As the Simulation starts to fade out, you can see the Witnesses picking up the body of Remus, setting him on the altar at the center of the hall, before placing the Sword of Eden back in his arms.

the pair argued over the future of Rome and the fate of the Sword, and Romulus killed his brother[1] with the Sword of Mars before fleeing the temple. Mars once again manifested, this time offering a dying Remus an Atlantis Artifact that would save his life, at the cost of diminishing his free will and turning him into a Versipellis.[2]

By 717 BCE, the temple was being used by the Cult of Uni, a secret organization that sought to control the known world. Worshippers of Uni, they went so far as to trade the effigies inside the temple to portray her instead. There, on the eve of a planned assassination of king Romulus, the group gathered to officiate a propitiatory ritual, though the meeting was infiltrated by members of the Shields of Mars, a group founded by Romulus to defend Rome from the shadows. The Shields of Mars collected information about the traitors and their plan before killing Thresu during the ritual, hoping the superstitious Romans might perceive it as a bad omen.[3]

The following day, the Shields of Mars escorted Romulus to the temple, fleeing an attack at the Campus Martius. Romulus, intending to hide his sword in the very same underground chamber he received it in, led the group to the vault, where they were attacked by Remus, now a 10 feet tall wolf man with superhuman strength. Though a formidable adversary, Remus was eventually defeated and, in his final moments, he returned to reason and rejected his hatred and the gift given to him by Mars, reverting into his original form. The Shields of Mars then picked up his body and set him on the altar at the center of the chamber, placing the Sword of Eden in his arms.[2]

In 1504, the Italian Brotherhood of Assassins located the ruins of the temple, recovering a Memory Seal buried there.[4]

The Cult of Uni were a secretive collective that operated throughout the Italian peninsula during the early Roman period. Worshipping Uni, they plotted to control the known world. They operated out of the Temple of Laran in the swamps north of the Tiber, even trading the temple effigies for ones that portrayed Uni.[1]

Senator Caius Galerius worked as Thresu's spokesman within the city walls, long operating in the shadows to recruit enough traitors for the plan.

"We are the heirs to the King's will and descendants of the Women of the Mist, the protectors of Arthur's sword."
―Amelia Fairchild on the group's heritage, 1870.[src]-[m]

The Descendants of the Round Table were a secret organization active in England from sometime after the Viking expansion until at least the Victorian era, claiming descent from the Women of the Mist. Though using the same name as another group, their aims were diametrically opposed: while the other group sought to to obtain and utilize Excalibur as a means to control and rule all of England while antagonizing the Women of the Mist, this incarnation knew of the weapon's location and carried on the mission of the Women of the Mist in protecting it. Their symbol was a crest with three crowns.[1]

In 1870, the Descendants of the Round Table were the targets of a Templar attack, that led to the death of a number of their knights, such as Ian.[2] The Templar agent responsible, along with a band of ruthless thugs, invaded their headquarters, intent on interrogating the leader of the group, Amelia Fairchild. Fairchild, though tied down, resisted the attempt bravely before being saved by a group of Assassins brought by fellow Descendant Chloe Taylor Cavendish. Threat averted, she thanked her saviors and awarded them with a prophecy about the location of the sword, seeing them as "deserving of all the honors befitting true knights".[1]

Chloe Taylor Cavendish, also referred to by the title of Galahad, was a member of the Descendants of the Round Table. Athletic and above average in height, Cavendish was a determined warrior who proudly embraced the title she had earned.[1]

In 1870, the Descendants were the targets of a Templar attack,[2] leading to the death of many members. Cavendish first suspected the culprits to be part of the Assassin Brotherhood, having seen a group of them at the murder site of Ian, a fellow member. Spotted by them, she escaped across the rooftops of London, though was eventually cornered by them. She drew her sword and removes her cape, ready to confront them. Eventually, they managed to clear any misunderstanding about the murder, and Cavendish decided to take them to the headquarters of the Descendants of the Round Table so they could speak to Amelia Fairchild, the leader.[1]

Cavendish and the Assassins arrived at the headquarters and were ambushed by a group of street thugs hired by the Templars, though they were dealt with quickly and the Assassins advanced into the chamber of the leader of the Descendants. There, they found Fairchild being interrogated by a Templar agent and surrounded by their bodyguards. Dealing with the invading party, Cavendish helped Fairchild out of the binds while she thanked the Assassins for the help.[2]

St. Clair's Defeat, also known as the Battle of the Wabash River and the Battle of a Thousand Slain, was a battle fought on November 1791 in the Northwest Territory of the United States as a result of settler expansion into Native American territory. The US army, led by Major-General Arthur St. Clair was trounced by the combined forces of the Northwestern Confederacy led by chiefs Mihšihkinaahkwa, Weyapiersenwah and Buckongahelas, leading to the worst defeat ever recorded at the hands of the Native Americans, where they lost almost a thousand men.[1]

In the eve of the battle, Colonial Assassin Ratonhnhaké:ton and a few allies arrived at the longhouse being used by the Confederacy, hoping to obtain permission to go to a parley with the American general to try to avoid bloodshed. Mihšihkinaahkwa invited the group to sit and present their case, eventually granting them permission. The following morning, the group proceeded to the enemy camp to speak to St. Clair, unknowing they had been betrayed by a Shawnee spy, and were met with an ambush. As multiple rifle barrels were pointed at them, St. Clair addressed the group, claiming to have met Haytham Kenway and proudly boasting he would have Mihšihkinaahkwa's Apple of Eden in his possession in a few hours. The general was cut off by muffled gunshots and screams as the Natives attacked the army in the middle of their morning meal, Mihšihkinaahkwa having apparently decided against waiting for the group's return.[1]

Being quickly overwhelmed, St. Clair retreated to Fort Jefferson, having a soldier stay behind to gather his personal belongings. Ratonhnhaké:ton's group, having survived the ambush, entered the general's tent and stole his research, while cries of alarm outside indicated that the soldiers had been completely surrounded.[1]

Major-General Arthur St. Clair (1737 – 1818)[1] was a Scottish-American soldier and politician, as well as a member of the Templars.

Formerly part of the British Army during the Seven Years' War, St. Clair became major general of the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War and later served as President of the Continental Congress, before becoming governor of the Northwest Territory in 1788. In 1791, St. Clair led the American forces in an attempt to conquer the Northwest Territory at a battle at the Wabash River, leading to the the loss of almost a thousand men and worst defeat ever recorded at the hands of the Native Americans, a feat that became widely known as "St. Clair's Defeat".[2]

St. Clair, a Templar, had obtained intelligence regarding an Apple of Eden in the possession of Mihšihkinaahkwa and pushed for an attack, despite a group led by Ratonhnhaké:ton attempting to parley. Though he had prepared an ambush thanks to information from a Shawnee spy, St. Clair was surprised by the Natives attacking the army in the middle of their morning meal, Mihšihkinaahkwa having apparently decided against waiting for the diplomatic group's return. Being quickly overwhelmed, St. Clair retreated to Fort Jefferson, having a soldier stay behind to gather his personal belongings, however, the group he had attempted to ambush entered his tent and stole all his research.[2]

Sagamore Mihšihkinaahkwa (c.1747 — 1812),[1] also known as Little Turtle, was the chief of the Miami people of the Northwest Territory. In the 1790s, he led a confederation of Native warriors to several significant victories against the American military forces, most notably the battle of Wabash River, where he was joined by allied chiefs Weyapiersenwah and Buckongahelas.[2]

In the eve of the battle, Colonial Assassin Ratonhnhaké:ton and a few allies arrived at the longhouse being used by the Confederacy, hoping to obtain permission to go to a parley with the American general to try to avoid bloodshed. Mihšihkinaahkwa invited the group to sit and present their case, and the three chiefs eventually granted them permission. The following morning, the leaders decided against waiting for the group to return, choosing instead to attack the soldiers during their morning meal. The battle ended in a great victory for the Natives, who managed to inflict great losses and force their retreat towards Fort Jefferson.[2]

Mihšihkinaahkwa's Apple of Eden was one of several Apples of Eden, leftover pieces of technology created by the Isu.

In 1791, the Apple was in possession of Mihšihkinaahkwa, chief of the Miami people. General and Templar Arthur St. Clair, having obtained intelligence in regards to the artifact, as well as a possible vault near Prophetstown, attempted to use the United States army to defeat Mihšihkinaahkwa and take the Apple for himself. However, St. Clair was forced to retreat to Fort Jefferson, having lost nearly a thousand men in battle and having his research stolen by a group of Assassins led by Ratonhnhaké:ton.[1]

The Battle of the Monongahela was a battle that took place on 9 July 1755 between British forces led by General Edward Braddock and French troops led by Daniel Liénard de Beaujeu[1] and aided by a party of Native Americans led by the Templar Haytham Kenway and Kaniehtí:io of the Kanien'kehá:ka.[2] The ambush led to Braddock's death and marked the end of the Braddock Expedition.[3]

While crossing the Monongahela River,[4] hoping to reach and conquer Fort Duquesne,[2] Braddock's forces were surprised by the French and their allies and the British strategy proved to be completely useless in such wooded terrain, with their forces being massacred: out of 1,600 men, 456 had been killed before Braddock's aide-de-camp George Washington organised their retreat. During the battle, Washington himself was hit by four bullets and had two horses die under him but survived mostly unscathed,[4] a fact that led a sachem to prophesize Washington would become "the leader of the nations".[5]

La Limace Noir (French: The Black Slug) was a guinguette managed by criminal Jean le Chien in southern Paris, France. It was used as a front for many ilicit activities, which took place in its cellars, including a 1792 auction of the recently stolen French Crown Jewels. These cellars had two entrances, one accessible directly from the main hall and another hidden in a drainage tunnel opening on the banks of the Seine. The 1792 auction was attended by Templars led by Justine Delarue and Assassins led by Arno Dorian, the latter of which managed to steal the French Blue among the auctioned pieces.[1]

The French Crown Jewels (French: Joyaux de la Couronne de France) is the name given to the collection of jewels that were symbols of Royal or Imperial power of France between 752 and 1870.[1] In 1691, the collection was comprised of 5,885 diamonds, 1,588 precious stones, and 488 pearls. Its three most famous diamonds were the Regent, a white 140.64-carat diamond, the Sancy, a 55.23-carat pale yellow diamond that Louis XIV liked to affix to his hat, and the French Blue, a blue diamond weighing 115 carats brought from the colonies of the Indies[2] by jeweler Jean-Baptiste Tavernier.[3]

In September 1792, rioters looted the Royal Treasury[2] and made off with a selection of the gems there.[4] In the days following the theft, the criminals organized a clandestine auction to resell the pieces at La Limace Noir. Through an informant, the Assassins learned of the auction and of the Templars' interest in certain lots. Led by Arno Dorian, a group of Assassins infiltrated the auction and managed to steal the French Blue, despite the presence of Templars led by Justine Delarue.[3] The thieves were quickly arrested and executed at the Place de la Concorde, though many items were never recovered.[2] In the same year, Arno recovered three other diamonds and saw that they were returned to the National Convention.[5]

The Hope Diamond, also called the French Blue (Le bleu de France), is a Piece of Eden in the form of a diamond. With unknown powers and abilities, the diamond is said to carry a curse that leads its wearers to an early, violent death. First recorded owner of the gem was jeweler Jean-Baptiste Tavernier, who sold it to King Louis XIV of France in 1668. In 1792, during the French Revolution, the diamond was stolen from the royal treasury, alongside other French Crown Jewels. In the days following the theft, the diamond was included in an auction organized by Jean le Chien at La Limace Noir, where it attracked the attention of both Assassins and Templars. At the auction, the Assassin group led by Arno Dorian managed to steal the jewel and keep it out of the hands of the Templars led by Justine Delarue.[1]

"See, Michel? I told you it could be done, the puzzle could be solved. I could solve it. If only you gave me the time I needed then..."
―Alice's dying words, 1869[src]-[m]

Alice (died 1869) was a member of the British Brotherhood of Assassins and, alongside Lavinia and Michel Reuge, one of the discoverers of the sealed sarcophagus that housed the Aegis, during an expedition to Bath, Somerset in the 1840s. The trio set up an underground chamber in London to guard the item, only for Alice to become obsessed with unlocking the sarcophagus and betray Lavinia and Reuge to the Templars. Instead of allowing her to continue attempting to open the casket, the Templars imprisoned and tortured her, keeping her captive for over 20 years. During this time, Alice's obsession did not abate, and she continued to hum the melodies produced by the music boxes she knew were the key to open the sarcophagus.[1]

In 1869, she escaped captivity and immediately returned to the vault. Alice created a number of bombs and caltrops to aid in her endeavour, boobytrapping the vault and the tunnels leading to it. One of the items created by her was a small music box that detonated in Southwark, alerting Jacob and Evie Frye and causing them to return to the vault. At the chamber, which she had filled with thick white smoke and a discordant tune from a music box, Alice attempted to open the sarcophagus while humming to the tune. In spite of their hindered visibility and hearing, as well as Alice's own knives, the Assassins managed to fatally wound Alice.[1]

Captain Tom Phillips was the captain of the Royal African Company slave ship Black Ivory in the early 1720s. After a long career as part of the Royal Navy, he decided to work in a more lucrative field. Described as capable and charismatic, Phillips was someone who cared little about the nature of his cargo or the safety of his crew, only seeking to put aside enough money for a peaceful retirement.[1]

In 1722, the Black Ivory was used as bait for Edward Kenway and Adéwalé by Templar Jeffrey Bloodworth, who meant to eliminate the pair using his own ship while the Jackdaw and the Black Ivory were occupied with each other. Phillips and his crew defended his ship bravely, though despite having superior numbers compared to the attacking Jackdaw, their losses were severe. Phillips wished to keep fighting but was knocked out by his crew, who had had enough of the bloodshed, allowing the pirates to comandeer the ship.[1]

Captain Jeffrey Bloodworth, also known as Captain "Keelhauling" Jeff, was an English noble and member of the Templar Order. Single minded in his interests of hunting pirates and benefitting the Templar cause, Bloodworth travelled to the Caribbean and became the captain of the Royal Bounty. A man who compensated his lack of charisma and leadership with cruelty, Bloodworth received his moniker for his habit of keelhauling any prisoner captured. In 1722, he recovered a Ring of Eden from the spoils of a pirate vessel, a power that he quickly put into use.[1]

That same year, Bloodworth, aware of Assassin movement in the region, prepared a trap meant to eliminate Adéwalé and Edward Kenway: using the slave ship Black Ivory as bait, he would wait until it was engaged in combat by the Jackdaw and then attack with his own ship, which had superior weaponry. However, the pirates managed to comandeer the Black Ivory and, using both ships, reached the Royal Bounty and assassinated Bloodworth in spite of his use of the Ring.[1]

Shangchuan Island (Chinese: 上川岛) is the main island of Chuanshan Archipelago on the southern coast of China,[1] 14 km south of the mainland.[2] During the Ming dynasty, the island served as a refuge for Chinese smugglers and a hub for Portuguese traders.[2]

History

In 1552, Spanish missionary and Templar Francis Xavier arrived on the island as a stopover to China, where he'd hoped to spread the Jesuit doctrine, but not only was he robbed of most of his possessions, he was also unable to find anyone willing to transport him and his missionaries to the mainland. Xavier was tracked into the island by two groups: Assassins led by Shao Jun and a contigent of Knights from the Order of Saint Benedict of Aviz led by Portuguese Templar João Machado, both seeking the Precursor box in his possession. Though Xavier had managed to find sanctuary at a small chapel in the island, he and his missionaries were killed by Machado's knights and the relic taken to their ship. While the Templars' ship remained at port it was attacked by a junk, possibly belonging to pirates or to the Ming military, allowing the Assassins an opportunity to recover the box.[2]

The Order of Saint Benedict of Aviz (Portuguese: Ordem de São Bento de Avis) is an order of chivalry founded in Portugal in 1146.[1] Its symbol is a green cross. The Order of Aviz had many links to the Templar Order, with some people such as Gaspar Vilela and João Machado having ranks in both.[2]

History

In 1552, a contigent of Knights of the Order were dispatched to the Chinese island of Shangchuan under the command of Machado, tracking down fellow Templar Francis Xavier and the Precursor box in his possession. The knights killed Xavier and his entourage, taking the relic with them, and awaited exfiltration by way of a Portuguese merchant ship bound for Nagasaki the following morning, where Vilela awaited them. However, their ship was attacked by a junk, possibly belonging to the pirates that dwelled around Shangchuan or to the Ming military, and, at the same time, it was infiltrated by Assassins that managed to recover the box.[2]

The Pagoda of Chengtian Temple (Chinese: 承天寺塔; meaning 'Bearing Heaven Pagoda'), is an eleven-storeyed brick pagoda in Yinchuan, China, originally built during the reign of the Western Xia.[1] The pagoda was used by the Mongolian Brotherhood of Assassins as a place for training, under former Assassin Wu. However, after Wu was killed by one of his charges, Shengtong, she then began teaching Assassin techiniques to the monks in order to help Tolui Khan.[2]

Having informed Shengtong of the events that had transpired, they were drugged and had the Sword of Eden in their possession stolen. Shengtong then entered the pagoda, and set the entire top floor ablaze as soon as she noticed their approach, signaling the Mongols. Nevertheless, the group managed to recover the Sword of Eden and leave the pagoda.[2]

Shengtong was a member of the Mongolian Brotherhood of Assassins. Once formidable, she was driven to the edge of insanity when the Brotherhood prevented her from avenging her partner's death to serve a higher purpose and she was sent to the Pagoda of Chengtian Temple to train under Wu. Her want for revenge against those that killed her partner soon turned into resentment and when the war came with the invasions of the Mongol Empire under Genghis Khan, she allied with the Khanate. Wu discovered her betrayal of the Brotherhood, but was killed by Shengtong before he could warn them. She then began secretly teaching Assassin techniques to the other monks at the pagoda for General Tolui Khan.[1]

In 1227, just after assassinating Genghis Khan, Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad and his entourage stopped at the Pagoda, where they informed Shengtong what had transpired. Shengtong then drugged their tea with a natural sedative in order to give them and the Sword of Eden they carried to Tolui, but some of the monks not allied with her helped them wake up. She took the sword and entered the pagoda, hoping to reach the top and signal the Mongols while sending her allies to deal with the Assassins. Though she managed to set the entire top floor ablaze as soon as she noticed their approach, they managed to recover the Sword of Eden.[1]

The Order occupied the fortress and, once the Piece of Eden was found, Aleksi locked himself up in a hidden garret atop a river-facing tower to study the artifact. He stayed in the room for days, writing tirelessly, doing "calculations" and talking to the consciousnesses in the Shroud. When the room was breached by Eivor Varinsdottir and her allies, they found its completely covered in writings and etchings, with Aleksi standing with his back to the door, writing on the rock wall with blood, using his forefinger which had worn down to the bone. Aleksi turned towards them and, while his finger healed, Consus addressed Eivor through him, asking her to stop Juno. Juno's consciousness, however, quickly took control of Aleksi and attacked the group, though they managed to retrieve the Shroud.[1]

Behind the scenes

Due to the openended nature of the roleplaying game, it is left unsaid whether Aleksi survives the encounter with Eivor and the others or not.

The Shroud of Eden copy is one of Juno's failed attempts in cloning the technology developed by Consus. While maintaining the original's extraordinary healing properties and significantly improving the wearer's physical faculties, it also retained fragments of the consciousnesses of both Consus and Juno. The continuous use of this Shroud is considered dangerous and capable of leading to insanity and death due to the the consciousnesses' ability to speak with the wearer and, more harmfully, their ability to attempt possession of the wearer.[1]

History

In 872, the Order of the Ancients tracked the Shroud to Warwick Burh, a fortress on the River Avon being used as the residence of a merchant family, and sent a contigent of Order members and two dozen mercenaries led by Order captain Aleksi. Once the Piece of Eden was found, Aleksi locked himself up in a hidden garret atop a river-facing tower to study the artifact. He stayed in the room for days, writing tirelessly and doing "calculations" and talking to the consciousnesses in the Shroud. When the room was breached by Eivor Varinsdottir and her allies, Aleksi was found writing on the rock wall with blood, using his forefinger, which had worn down to the bone. As he turned towards them, his finger healed while Consus addressed Eivor through Aleksi before Juno took control of the man and attacked the group, though Eivor and the others managed to recover the Shroud.[1]
