Modern pop culture would have you believe that all Vikings were fierce berserkers. In reality Viking life was about a lot more than raiding and warmongering, usually.

Lessons from the field, "Templar Hate"
When you are an assassin, or someone they admire, you'll never experienced anything like hate from Templars. Believe it or not, the templar and assassin used to come from the same place, warrior training area. Some templar grew other ideals, and assassins backed away.
IF you experience it as a fan, or as a fellow warrior let me tell you, those aren't Templars. They are just hateful people, afraid of your light and everyone else's.

The Bear Man
The Bear Man is a Pawnee legend exemplifying the Native American understanding of the natural world and serving as an origin tale for the Bear Dance, which was performed to awaken the bears in spring from their winter hibernation and also to celebrate the season of choosing a mate. The Bear Dance is still performed by the Pawnee today.
The bear holds special significance for the Pawnee, as well as other Native American nations including the Ute, as a powerful animal and one of the Nahu'rac – the creatures who serve Ti-ra'wa (“Father Above”), as messengers and mediators – and who are considered brothers by various indigenous peoples. According to scholar Bobby Lake-Thom:
The Bear is always a good sign and a special power. He represents wisdom, insight, introspection, protection, and healing. If you see a Bear while hiking in the woods or along the river, then you know that a very sacred place is nearby. (78)
In The Bear Man, a father, concerned for his son, makes friends with a bear cub in hopes that the Nahu'rac will remember his kindness and look after his boy. Later in life, the Nahu'rac bears remember this kindness and repay it by bringing the boy back to life after he is killed in battle and teaching him their spiritual “medicine” (powers). The story shares similarities with other famous Pawnee tales including A Story of Faith and The Boy Who Was Sacrificed, which also feature the supernatural entities of the Nahu'rac.
The Bear Dance
In Native American belief, generally speaking, there is no spiritual difference between a human being, a plant, a tree, an animal, or a rock, as all things are imbued by the Creator with the same resonant energy. Humans are in no way superior to the natural world but are expected to act as stewards and care for their environment as they would for their own family and community. The Bear Dance grew out of this understanding as the dancers, as they perform wearing the bear hides which have been gifted to them by their bear relatives, become those bears and offer to others bear wisdom, healing, and power. Scholar Larry J. Zimmerman writes:
For Native North Americans, the boundaries between the world of the spirits and the world of living people were not clearly defined: a third “in-between” world of transition separated them. Every entity to some degree inhabited all three of these worlds. If a human carried out the appropriate rituals, he or she could be transformed into a being from one of the other two worlds.
Such transformations often duplicated events of the “beginning time” when the world came to be as it is through the agency of culture heroes and tricksters. On ceremonial occasions, an individual might assume the appearance of such a figure and be thought, literally, to become that being. When a holy man put on a yellow bear hide, for his audience he actually was the bear. (126)
The Bear Dance was (and is) always performed in the spring, waking the bears from their hibernation, and signaling the time for young men and women to choose mates. Among the Ute and Pawnee, the traditional roles of festivals are reversed at this time as men, instead of women, prepare the area for the dance, and women, instead of men, initiate the dance to find a suitable mate. The Bear Dance may last ten days to two weeks and honor the spirit of the bears as much as that of the community and the natural world at large.

Animus Session: 105
Lati Rutelveson learns she had given birth to a possible Prussian Monarch in Germania in 1343 BCE
Not born from assassin and or templar heritage she "married" a young man who had a mysterious past, who unraveled their marriage long before he actually spoke of doing so. She never knew a thing of it, but he was a Templar.
She gave birth to a young son who only lived to his eighth year but warned her to an impending doom to her estate and her wellbeing, thus ending all future visits with her son then aged five.
He took her son from her to be raised by "Christian Monks" wanting him to be raised by the Priesthood. She was allowed most of her freedom and never saw him again, except during some holidays as well as visits from her son, so he could at least know his mother.
She told her estate people and they vanished into the Germania wilderness where she, as a man, began training as a vicious assassin.
In 1338 BCE, bands of assassins from her branch, broke upon the templar lands, slaying her son in the process. A Man with a prophecy, he would later return as a teen to be raised by "Great Grandparents" from her side, and train alongside his own mother, now his "sister" in the creed.
With this young man, he became a wizened, well trained, Assassin and Germanic "vude" which is something related to an "Alazar"
An "Alazar" here is like a type of ruler, or clan leader. The mother became a "Wis" or a "Clan trainer" of the people and their assassin lineage was like a Germanic Amazon Warrior, with some borrowed south African culture. They were classified as "aborigines" and considered to be offshoots of the Sanhedrin peoples.
They ended up leaving Germania when they felt the threat had ended, with the son going one way and the mother and the others to the north. I want to say this was the year of 1315 BCE, and thus moving into steppes landscape around the 1310 BCE area.
Around 1303 BCE there was an earthquake in the area, destroying the area * (I've looked on the search engine and they say there are no known earthquakes from the time period, because it is an early period of history. They point to 1303 CE or AD in Crete having a huge one with a tsunami. But there were no waves with this)
Having been older now, at least 85 years of age, Lati ran outside when the earthquake begin and fell into a large hole that opened up breaking her neck and shoulder on impact beneath the "Slovakian Steppes". She only still looked 35 years of age, however.
A Search shows now what is considered Slovakian Steppe Country.
Tumblr media
A Map showing Germany and Slovakia in modern day times, the son or brother journeyed to the south, towards "Sabahrah" and they went to "Rah" in the north.
The main food seemed to be steppe veggie like lettuces and cabbages and Gazelle, which was plentiful in the steppe country. However, eating this meat the meat, will change who you are and make you "comfortable" which is not known to be an Assassin emotion or way of life for too long, but there was no war at the time of their occupation.
Life vanished in this entire area for about fifty years, so devastating was the earthquake.
I asked DALL E3 to help pinpoint dress code.

Interesting musings from the community
I keep thinking about Desmond always being on edge. Always in Survival Mode.
He could never relax on the Farm, his Dad always breathing down his neck. Get better. Be better. Do better.
And then, Desmond ran away. And he always had to look over his shoulder. Always had to be a step ahead of the Templars and Assassins (a great feat btw)
And then Abstergo got him and I can't imagine him relaxing in that environment. Only to be plucked out of that space and be back with the Assassins, back in the Animus.
With people he didn't know, who wanted to work and save the world and at the end, his Dad was back again too.
Surely Desmond never left Survival mode. Wouldn't even know what that would feel like.

Modern day assassin tale
I use AI to describe real life events with what modern day assassins may look like and do. I am NOT making fun of assassin's creed in anyway shape or form, I am merely enjoying mysterious AI art

Maybe it's a Hidden's one bureau :)
Halfway up a near-vertical ravine in the Andes, someone carved an inverted V-shaped entrance into the mountainside. Then they sliced the bedrock with great precision to create a shallow door that goes nowhere; the same design appears in ancient Persia and Egypt. Then for good measure, they carved an additional altar with three alcoves into an outcrop of bluestone. This sacred site is named Naupa Iglesia, or more accurately, Naupa Huaca.

The Panzaza Mecruzia
Aztec Assassins Brotherhoods, one of three that we have uncovered.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Specialities: Running and leaping off tree trunks, lurking unseen in all manner of swamps, waiting patiently for the prey like the black jaguar or the black mamba.

Long ago in a ruined land the Panzaza Mercutia rose up to find ancient knowledge in an ancient temple. Those who had been Chosen were blessed with a strange marking in various places of their forms. Some the forehead, the left arm, the wrist, the left leg.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Each is blessed with a tower image or a piece of the tower on their foreheads, wrists, left arm or left calf muscle, each in white which glow to reflect the purpose of the tower. They seek to find the original place of the ancient tower, and reconstruct it, just to see and watch the sun and moon trine overhead in a lunar eclipse as well as solar.
This is when the assassin world will "co'lak'lah" and all assassins will gain more knowledge into their abilities and beings.
It is said the sacred Goddess of the Assassin and the ancient Isu will be reborn into being in the lands of The Duat, which service more than Egypt, but all warrior culture. There she will find the sun king.

When he comes to her;
he will unknowingly wear an ancient medalion.
She will see it and know it is the time of the celestial equinox.
They will start a path that will echo again through time.
He will be in a bit of denial. But she is patient and still about her own training and work.
