OUR LIFE IS MADE BY THE DEATH OF OTHERS
-Leonardo da vinci
Italy in 1476 is spiderweb of political intrigue ,warring families, and corrupt clergy. Even the implied unity of calling the place by a single name a simplification : violent city-states are in a constant State of upheaval and conflict, both within and without. Assassination banishment, and grisly executions are commonplace .Life can be short and brutal, even at the very top of the social ladder. Beside this harsh world coexists a strange counterpoint. The western world is waking up from long years of plague,famine,and conquest. The foundations of modern science ,art ,and Literature are emerging from these same bloody streets, and the epoch that will be known as the Renaissance has begun. Behind it all ,two forces vie for the hearts and minds of the people ,continuing a conflict that stretches back into history, from the fields of the Crusades 300years earlier to a mysterious future of conspiracy and secrets. The Assassins and the Templar continue their ceaseless struggle, and one side is about to receive a new combatant.
