Tiber Island headquarters
The Tiber Island headquarters was a building located on Tiber Island in Rome, and acted as the base of the Assassin Order following the destruction of the Villa Auditore in Monteriggioni. Originally a storage facility owned by the Orsini family, control of the building was handed over to the Assassins by Fabio Orsini in 1500, so as to allow the Order to establish a foothold in Rome.
Function
The headquarters could be found in the basement of the island's largest structure, and was accessible from the rooftop, the street, the river, and the tunnels.
Function-wise, it was similar to the Villa Auditore, with a few additional features. Its rooms included an Armory that displayed armor sets and weapons, a Painting gallery that showcased purchased paintings and the portraits of fallen targets, and a ceremonial hall that was used to induct the Assassin recruits into the Order and grant them the rank of Assassino. A View Point on the roof was used for the initiation Leap of Faith performed by the recruits.
The appropriate guild's crest will appear on the wall near the fireplace upon completion of any of the five Guild Challenges, and are labeled to have been awarded to Ezio in tribute to his skill.
Any recruits of the Order can often be seen milling around or speaking to each other in the rooms of the guild when not out on missions.
Interestingly, all the plain red banners around the headquarters are in good condition, but the banners that show the Assassin insignia appear to be tattered and worn. Similar banners with the insignia were also present in the Villa Auditore.
