Swimming, or Swah'Himing in the original Arabic, is a secret Assassin technique invented by Altair Ibn-La'Ahad at some point after the events of Bloodlines. It is concerned with the prevention of drowning. The Assassin achieves flotation through practiced motion of the arms, and may re-position themselves in the water by kicking and using their arms as rudders.

Up until the invention of this world-changing technique, all who came into contact with water suffered near instant death. Casualties were likely very high in port towns such as Acre and Venice, and any sailors falling overboard on voyages were invariably doomed. This technique was passed down exclusively through Assassin families all the way into the early 16th Century. Sometime after, it began to filter into common knowledge. The Templars, unwilling to credit such a life-saving technique to the Assassin Order, managed to convince the masses that Swimming had been a skill well known to all civilizations since the dawn of time.

Trivia

  • The Templar coverup of Swah'Himing's assassin origins may have affected the Assassin order itself, since neither Lucy nor any other Assassin seemed remotely surprised that Ezio was the only person in the Animus sessions who didn't drown instantly in water, including highly athletic thieves in Venice, or sailors in Acre.
  • Despite their ties with the Assassins, Courtesans, Mecenaries and Theives all drown when you push them into the water (likely cacling as you do so). This knowledge was likely restricted to Assassins and their families.

An Apple of Eden.
"This... piece of silver cast out Adam and Eve. It turned staves into snakes. Parted and closed the Red Sea. Eris used it to start the Trojan War; and with it, a poor carpenter turned water into wine."
―Al Mualim about the Apples.[src]

The Apples of Eden were a type of technology made by Those Who Came Before. They featured throughout history as the cause to some divine and superhuman events, such as the Trojan War or Adam and Eve being cast out of Eden.

History

File:Zw-eden-slave.png
An Apple used by Those Who Came Before to enslave humans.

Long before mankind existed, there was a technologically advanced civilisation which inhabited Earth. They made humanity, and enslaved them by modifying their brains to be manipulatable by Pieces of Eden. For that moment there was a forced peace, until Adam and Eve stole one of the Pieces, an Apple, and started a war between the two species. Too occupied by the war to see the threat, a major solar flare impacted the Earth and significantly damaged both mankind and their makers, and as Those Who Came Before became extinct, mankind grew and populated the Earth, seeing their predecessors as myths and gods.

Powers and capabilities

Apples were designed to create illusions and to control human minds, and could all presumably be used in conjunction with the Staff. They also contained knowledge of many technologies used by Those Who Came Before. There were only six known Apples, one of which had been destroyed in an Abstergo accident. It is known that one of the Apples, the one that Altaïr, Ezio and Desmond held, could be used as a weapon, turning humans against one another, or killing them instantly with its beam, though temporarily draining energy out of its possessor.

Known Apples

First Apple

Main article: First Apple

The first known human possessor of this Apple was Napoleon Bonaparte, who used the technology to power up his force in the French Revolution. With the power of this item, he became the leader of France with the name of Napoleon I, ruling in military and political sense. It is unknown how he came into the possession of this Piece of Eden, and when and how he lost it.

The second known human owner was Harry Houdini, a magician who used the First Apple to create his "impossible" stunts. He was assassinated by a group of people that wanted to take the Apple from him, whereas in common believe, he had suffered from a fatal ruptured appendix.

Later, the Piece was used in the assassination of John F. Kennedy, as to produce a "Phantom on the Hill" effect, making the prosecution of Oswald more difficult, and to disguise the intentions of the assassination. The current location of the Apple is unknown.
