Many other Precursor relics exist, from the Memory Seals used to record messages by the Capitoline Triad to the Masyaf Keys, on which Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad encoded his own memories. They don't possess the same powers of influencing and controlling displayed by the Pieces of Eden, yet such artifacts have been researched extensively by Templars and Assassins alike. Lesser still than the Precursor relics are later documentation and transcription of Precursor knowledge and information, which are nonetheless the subject of covetous attention. Both the Assassins and the Templars are convinced that, if they can decipher such writing, it will give greater insight into the Precursor civilisation. The Voynich Manuscript, Nicholas Flamel's two-part Book of Abraham, as written by Abraham of Würzburg, are two such examples. All of these man-made relics must be unlocked or translated with some sort of key, such as a Precursor Box.

"… wield fear as a weapon, may our enemies crumble …" — An Isu voice that emanated from the artifact when Kassandra took it
The Atlantis artifacts were a number of leftover technological devices created as part of the Olympus Project by the Isu Aita and Juno. The Prize of the Medusa was one such object, not only serving as a key to seal the gateway to Atlantis, but also turning its user into the Writhing Dead, a Gorgon capable of petrifying its victims. The Prize of the Medusa was handed from guardian to guardian until seized by Kassandra.
The intended use of the Prophecy Disks is unclear. Audio-visual messages can be recorded on these disks, which then separate in two – an amulet is then required to activate the message. The Assassin Aveline de Grandpré discovered both parts of such a disk in the Precursor ruins beneath the Mayan city of Chichen Itza, which were then activated with an amulet, The Heart of the Brotherhood.

The Shards of Eden are relics of Isu technology, echoing the awe-inspiring power of the original Pieces of Eden from which they were derived. Though fragmented, these artifacts remain potent, retaining a fraction of the formidable power and unique qualities that once flowed through them.

Crafted by Idun, an esteemed member of the Æsir lineage of the Isu, the Rings of Eden were a revolutionary invention that harnessed the power of electromagnetic fields. These remarkable rings possessed the ability to deflect projectiles with precision while also effectively neutralizing energy-based weapon discharges. However, wearing the Rings did not provide absolute immunity, and the Isu often employed them alongside shielding devices for enhanced protection and defense.

The history of this massive diamond is surrounded in mystery. The first known buyer was Jean-Baptiste Tavernier. The stone, also called French Blue (Le bleu de France), was sold to King Louis XIV of France in 1668. In 1792, during the French Revolution, the Hope Diamond was stolen from the royal treasury, alongside the other French Crown Jewels.
Known Owners: Minerva, Evie Frye

As the ancient tales go, the Aegis was said to have been worn in battle by the Isu Minerva herself. Many millennia passed, the skilled Assassin Michel Reuge discovered the elusive Aegis in the vicinity of Bath, England. Recognizing its significance, he stashed the artifact in an abandoned bank vault beneath London.
