Cool vid, even if you can't really do a complete history without the books and film. Two things: the Isu aren't aliens, but a lost advanced civilization ie Atlantis, and Ratonhnhaké:ton is pronounced Ra-doon-ha-ge-doon, because 'k's are 'g's in northeastern American languages (the one time he pronounces it with the hard k is because AC3 allegedly had a difficult development, and mistakes were made).

I think if you explained the games in order instead of chronicologically in which the events took place took place, people would follow better. Don't talk about the Precursors from Assassin's Creed 2 cuz that's when us, the players first see them. Talk about the Master Assassin, Altair from the game and how you were killed by and brought back to life by your Mentor to prove yourself worthy by killing 9 men who are corrupt war makers, Just to find out your mentor is the leader of your enemies and he has been using the assassins to snuff out his competition.

[@tariqshaw8457]

Okay, I get the assassin's creed. And I get they started with Xerxes. But what I haven't figured out is why are they assassinating anybody? The creed doesn't really explain that they gotta go and get stabby. Is it simply to keep false higher powers at bay so we aren't enslaved by the Esu?

[@rileynorton3761]

Because the templars or order of the ancients are after the isu technology for world domination. And the assassins are somewhat protectors of common folk against corruption ect.

Basically, the templars are trying to control/end the world. Assassins are trying to stop that...by assassinating the templars

@@TheB00tyWarrior I see. It would seem their actions were considered by them in their eyes to be the only logical response following the creed.

the Observatory is powered by Crystal Skulls that encase a small glass cube filled with a droplet of blood, in Black Flag, the Sage only knows of it's location and explains that the Observatory was built by the precursor race to find and track Humans.
