Fountain of Youth
The Fountain of Youth was a fabled fountain located in Florida that contained a Piece of Eden within its water, giving rise to the legend that drinking from it would grant eternal youth.
During the Age of Exploration, several European explorers tried to find and claim the fountain as their own. In 1521, the Spanish Templar-influenced explorer Juan Ponce de León journeyed to Florida to obtain the artifact. The Assassins in Florida were determined to stop Ponce de León, and sent Miguel Ramón Carlo de Lugo to convince him to abandon his quest and turn back. When Ponce de León refused, the Assassins struck him with a poisoned arrow that would later result in his death.
