If you want the complete story of Assassin's Creed, then you'll want to pick up any of its several comic series. Either way, the Cult of Kosmos is wiped out.Įach game continues its modern narrative in some form, though the series featured its most cohesive narrative up until Assassin's Creed 3, with future entries veering a bit off course. Depending on the actions you take within the game, you can reunite with your family and start to rebuild your relationship with them or you can choose to let them perish.
It is during this time that the Misthios also discovers the hidden city of Atlantis, guarded by Pythagoras, the Misthios' true father, and seals it from human contact. What follows is a tale of close family drama as the Misthios' relatives all find themselves mixed in a plot with the Cult of Kosmos, led by your younger sibling, a group secretly responsible for causing the Peloponnesian War through harnessing the power of a Piece of Eden.
Presumed dead, your character grows up to become a Misthios (mercenary) and is contacted by a man to kill someone named "The Wolf of Sparta," who turns out to be your character's stepfather. Your character is thrown off of a cliff as a child after attempting to stop the death of their younger sibling, who an oracle prophesied would need to be sacrificed in order to stop the fall of Sparta. Set in Greece during the Peloponnesian War (431 BCE), you play as Kassandra or Alexios, descendants of the legendary Spartan King Leonidas. As such, the plot isn't exactly set in stone, but it follows the same paths more or less. Assassin's CreedĪssassin's Creed Odyssey is one of the only main entry in the series to feature multiple endings. Chronological timeline by releaseīecause of the Animus and the series' separation between modern and historical timelines, we'll dedicate an entire section to the series' overarching modern-day narrative while we dig into each game's historical settings separately, as they usually (but not always) can be viewed as standalone adventures. Sages have the ability to recall Aita's memories and possess natural talent superior to that of normal humans. Sages are reincarnations of an Isu being known as Aita. Though the First Civilization was wiped out long ago due to a global cataclysm, their lineage continued in humans. You may sometimes hear these referred to as Precursor artifacts, of which Pieces of Eden are a subclass.
Most artifacts served a role in maintaining humanity's subservience, though some took more good-natured purposes like those that were capable of healing. Pieces of Eden can take on many forms and wield various abilities, but they all contain great power within.
