Angkor was the capital city of the Khmer Empire.

History

On 24 December 1724, a member of the West Indies Brotherhood of Assassins met with Edward Kenway in London to pass along information gathered from an East India Company ship that Adéwalé thought Edward would find interesting. The message said that the natives called Angkor, the "Lost City" or the "Territory of Those Who Came Before", and called on Edward for a detailed investigation. At some point prior to February 1725, East India Company sailor Hendrik discovered the location tof the ruins of Angkor and told his friend John Young while drunk, not knowing that Young would then steal his story. In February 1725, both Hendrik and Young were attacked on separate occasions, though Young survived thanks to Kenway's help while Hendrik only managed to hang on long enough to reveal some information about Angkor to Kenway and request that a letter be given to his family.
