Grand'Place

The Grand'Place is the central square of Brussels, Belgium.

History

In May 1519, members of the local chapter of the Assassins visited the Grand'Place as part of their search for the clues to the havens Leonardo da Vinci hid in the city. At the bustling plaza, the Assassins had a number of possible leads to follow. At a fabric shop off the square, one Assassin overheard a merchant boasting that his artisans had been inspired by the The Garden of Earthly Delights for their latest creation, and managed to retrieve a fragment of the riddle from the location. In the open air market, another boasting merchant was claiming to have figured out the secret behind the painting, with his information being kept in a nearby wooden chest. Picking the lock on the chest allowed the Brotherhood to acquire another riddle fragment. A hustler playing dice proposed a gamble where he would give information if the Assassin managed to win his game, having mentioned he knew about the painting at the Palais de Nassau. Impressed by the Assassin's skills, the hustler handed them a piece of paper witht the missing enigma fragment. Climbing up the tower of the town hall for a better look at the Grand'Place, allowed for the Assassin to locate a building with a swan adorning its façade, the Maison du Cygne, where they headed next.
