The Shroud of Eden copy is a failed attempt by the Isu Juno to create a Piece of Eden that duplicates the technology first developed by Consus. Unlike the original Shrouds of Eden that have extraordinary healing properties and significantly improve the wearer's physical faculties, this one retained fragments of both Consus' and Juno's consciousnesses. The continuous use of this Shroud is considered dangerous and capable of leading to insanity and death due to the consciousnesses' ability to speak with the wearer and, more harmfully, their ability to attempt to possess them.[1]
History[edit | edit source]
In 872, the Order of the Ancients tracked the Shroud to Warwick Burh, a fortress on the River Avon being used as a merchant family's residence, and sent a contingent of Order members and two dozen mercenaries led by Order captain Aleksi. Once the Piece of Eden was found, Aleksi locked himself up in a hidden garret atop a river-facing tower to study the artifact. He stayed in the room for days, writing tirelessly and doing "calculations" and talking to the consciousnesses in the Shroud. When the Viking Eivor Varinsdottir and her allies breached her room, Aleksi was found writing on the rock wall with blood from his forefinger, which had worn down to the bone. As he turned towards them, his finger healed while Consus addressed Eivor through Aleksi before Juno took control of the man and attacked the group, though Eivor and the others managed to recover the Shroud.[1]
Behind the scenes[edit | edit source]
In the Assassin's Creed Roleplaying Game, this Shroud is only known as "Shroud of Eden #Unknown".
