Arno packaging the artifact

The spherical Piece of Eden was the artifact stored within the Head of Saint Denis, locked inside the Saint-Denis Temple. Constructed by the First Civilization, the artifact was capable of augmenting the Head of Saint Denis' power to project illusions and imbue weapons with mystical power.

In August 1794, Napoleon Bonaparte employed a group of tomb raiders led by Philippe Rose to find the Temple and the artifact stored within. Arno Dorian was able to open the temple ahead of the raiders and retrieve the Head of Saint Denis, using its power to repel the raiders and make his escape.

Unwilling to let the artifact fall into Napoleon's hands, Arno removed the Piece of Eden from the lantern and passed it to a member of the French Brotherhood of Assassins, with instructions to bring it to Al Mualim in Cairo. In 1798, Napoleon led an expedition to Egypt with the intention of acquiring the Piece of Eden.

Trivia

  • While the artifact possessed similar markings to the Apples of Eden, it was considerably smaller.
