CHAPTER 5

1. The Templar Order: "Just like the Assassin Brotherhood, the origins of the Templar Order is shrouded in mystery. According to a foundational legend, Cain, one of Adam's and Eve's children, was one of their ancestors. He killed his brother not out of jealousy, but to acquire his PoE. Some refer to the symbol of the Order, as the Mark of Cain. The Templar Order has its roots in secret organizations of the past, like the Order of Ancients in Ancient Egypt, and other places. Previously, the fall of the Cult of Kosmos in Ancient Greece was a catalyst for the Order to establish a strong presence there after the end of the Peloponnesian War.".

The English version (Templar History): "Like the Brotherhood of Assassins, the origins of the Templar Order are shrouded in mystery. An origin legend has Cain, one of Adam and Eve's sons, as a forebearer, and says that he murdered his brother Abel not out of jealousy, but to acquire a Piece of Eden. Some refer to the symbol of the Templar Order, the red cross pattée, as the mark of Cain.

The Templar Order has its roots in previous secret organizations, one of which was the Order of the Ancients in Ancient Egypt and beyond. Before that, the downfall of the Cult of Kosmos in Ancient Greece was a catalyst for the ideas that would eventually lead to the formation of the Templar Order."
