Assassin's Creed Trivia

1. What century is the setting for most of "Assassin's Creed Valhalla"?

From Quiz "Assassin's Creed Valhalla" - Background Info

Answer: 9th century AD

The beginning of the Viking Age is typically viewed as being 793 when they raided and annihilated the abbey on the Holy Island of Lindesfarne. While there is a written record that suggests that they had landed nearby earlier, there isn't very much known about that excursion. Vikings continued to raid locations all over Europe for almost 300 years. William the Conqueror's 1066 raid on England marks the end of the Viking Age. The game begins in modern times when Assassin Layla Hassan helps to uncover the grave of a Viking king. With hopes of finding information that will change the future, she uses the Animus, or data fragment, to go back to the 9th century and read the dead king's memories. Most of the game is set in the 870s.

Answer: Jacques de Molay

Pope Clement V ordered the dissolution of the Knight's Templar on October 13, 1302 - perhaps the original Friday the 13th! The Templars had just been too successful. Formed in Jerusalem during the Crusades to safeguard pilgrims on their way to the Holy Land, the Templars became very wealthy. Philip IV of France, who owed them a lot of money, had, using rumors regarding their secret initiation rites against them, sought to disband the group and erase his debt. The pope, Clement V, who was obviously the leader of the losing side of the Crusades and threatened by the Templar's rising power, seemed very eager to accommodate the king's wishes. While many historians believe the "confessions" of Jacques de Molay and the other Templars were coerced, his sentencing and punishment was very much the result of a power struggle between the king and the pope. He was burned at the stake in March 1314. An eyewitness to the execution said that Jacques de Molay was calm and told onlookers that God would avenge the Templars' deaths. In "Assassin's Creed Unity", the flashback sets the stage for what is happening in France during the Revolution between the Templars and the Assassins. In the memory, Philip IV had unknowingly joined with the Templars' opposition, the Assassins, who carried out the attack on the Templars. Before his arrest, de Molay is able to order the safekeeping of the Sword of Eden and Codex Pater Intellectus, items that bestowed great power on their possessor. As he was burned at the stake, de Molay shouted curses upon Philip and Clement while they watched, claiming that God would punish them within a year's time. Although both did die in 1314, the shouted curse is one of the legends that arose after de Molay's death. Many legends were told about the arrest and execution, however, they will remain just that - legends.

From Quiz "Assassin's Creed: Odyssey" - Background Info

Answer: Ancient Greece

All of these are locations found in the "Assassin's Creed" franchise: "Assassin's Creed: Origins" (2017) is set in ancient Egypt, the setting of "Assassin's Creed: Valhalla" (2020) is the time of the Viking attacks on Anglo-Saxon England, and "Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood" (2010) takes place in Renaissance Italy. The name of the game provides a clue as to its setting. "Assassin's Creed: Odyssey" (2018) is set in 431-422 BC, during the time of the Peloponnesian War in ancient Greece, which actually was fought from 431-404 BC. The power of the city-state of Athens, that had gradually expanded into an empire following the end of the Persian Wars (490-449 BC), had grown in proportions that caused great concern to their biggest rival, the polis of Sparta. This is true! "Assassin's Creed: Odyssey" focuses on the secret history of the war that has never been told.

If you listen closely, Saladin and his enemy King Richard are mentioned several times in "Assassin's Creed".

From Quiz "Assassin's Creed Valhalla" - Background Info

Answer: Eivor Varinsdottir

The Isu were an ancient super race of people who lived 77,000 years ago. They created the Pieces of Eden, powerful artifacts, and formed the human race, although they were not a unified group; there were four main groups that were spread across the world. The Æsir were the Isu who lived in Scandinavia. Over time they became the main gods in Norse mythology. Eivor Varinsdottir, born in 847, is believed to be the reincarnation of Odin, who was chief of the Æsir. After witnessing the death of their family, Evior was adopted by King Styrbjorn of the Raven Clan and raised with his son, Sigurd. In the game Eivor can be either male or female, and players may customize the appearance of the character they choose.

From Quiz "Assassin's Creed: Unity" - More Historicality

Answer: Bastille

Construction of the Bastille began in 1357; it was to be used as a fortress that would protect France from English attacks during the Hundred Years War. By 1417, it was mostly used as a state prison. A tally of the prisoners shows that 5279 people had been imprisoned there by 1789, when complaints from prisoners about conditions there had led to a reduction in use. While Louis XIV used it for upper class prisoners, Louis XV and Louis XVI used it for a variety of offenders. When the prison was stormed on July 14, 1789, there were only seven prisoners found, but the mob wasn't really looking for prisoners. They wanted to find the stores of gunpowder reportedly stored there. Even so, they did release the seven prisoners after brutally killing the guards. It did appear that Arno was Francois' murderer; he found the body soon after the deed was done. While he was in the Bastille, Arno met Pierre Bellec, who he noticed was in possession of a watch that had belonged to his late father, Charles Dorian. It was from Bellec that he learned his father had been an Assassin, and was subsequently invited to join the group. Arno passed the time spent in the Bastille training with Bellec, and when the prison was stormed at the beginning of the French Revolution, both men escaped during the chaos and confusion. The other prisons listed were all constructed after the French Revolution.

From Quiz "Assassin's Creed: Unity" - Historicality

Answer: Palace of Versailles

Versailles had very humble beginnings in 1623 as the hunting lodge of King Louis XIII; at the time there were still plenty of animals to hunt in the area. His son, Louis XIV, and great-grandson, Louis XV, ultimately expanded the lodge into one of the largest palaces in the world. Built in the French Baroque style, the building, located about 12 miles from Paris today, was constructed using both private and public money. At the time the palace had 700 rooms (there are about 2300 rooms today!), and, in 1682, when the entire court moved there, it had a population of about 5000. Versailles served as the official residence of the King of France from 1682-1789; it was really a symbol to the poor of the King's extravagance and the difference in how the vast majority of the French people lived. On December 27, 1776, Charles Dorian, Arno's father, was attending a meeting at Versailles with Louis XVI when he was assassinated. Arno was left an orphan, and was raised quite differently from what his father would have anticipated.

Answer: Alexios and Kassandra

Alexios and Kassandra, the protagonists of "Assassin's Creed: Odyssey", are products of a difficult past. Separated from their parents at an early age, neither one of them knows that the other is even alive. After the choice is made by the player as to whether they want to be Alexios or Kassandra, the choice character becomes the older sibling called the Eagle Bearer, and the sibling who is not chosen becomes Deimos, who has been corrupted by a mysterious cult. The Eagle Bearer may choose to either free Deimos of the past or kill them eventually, which does have a major impact on how the game ends.

From Quiz "Assassin's Creed Valhalla" - Background Info

Answer: Politics

Many theories have been proposed to explain why the Viking Age took place. Resources were scarce in the North, and, as the population grew, food was in short supply. In addition, shortages of women, due to the Viking practice of the leader taking more than one wife, regularly occurred. Due to the use of the law of primogeniture, where the oldest son inherited the family wealth, younger sons had to leave Scandinavia in search of their own wealth and power. In "Assassin's Creed Valhalla" the migration is politically motivated. The unification of Norway in 872 leaves many of the Viking jarls (chiefs) without land to rule. And after King Styrbjorn pledges his land and loyalty to the new King of Norway, Sigurd is angry because it takes away his claim to rule the Raven Clan one day.

From Quiz "Assassin's Creed: Unity" - More Historicality

Answer: Marquis de Sade

While he was better known for his lifestyle and liberal views, the Marquis de Sade was also a Revolutionary politician. He was elected as a delegate to the National Convention, the newest French parliament, which followed the National Assembly and the Legislative Assembly in 1792. Sade supported the ideals of the Republic and far left, despite the fact that he was a nobleman himself, and during this time referred to himself as "Citizen Sade". De Sade lost his position after criticizing Robespierre, and was accused of being too moderate. He was imprisoned for about a year, and was released after the Reign of Terror. By 1803 he was declared insane, and spent the remainder of his life in some sort of confinement, either in an asylum or prison. In "Assassin's Creed Unity", de Sade became the new Roi des Thunes, or the King of the Beggars, after Arno killed the old one, after finding out that he had been partly responsible for the death of his stepfather. The Marquis de Sade had wanted to take over the Cour des Miracles, a group formed in the 1770s and run by beggars and thieves; when the group petitioned for membership within the Templar Order, they were denied by Francois de la Sierre, the Grand Master, and his assassination was their revenge.

From Quiz "Assassin's Creed: Unity" - Historicality

Answer: Place de la Révolution

When originally completed in 1772, the Place de la Révolution was known as the Place de Louis XV. It was an immense public square that contained statues, fountains, and buildings that were used as homes for the wealthy and offices for government agencies. When the French Revolution began, the king's statue was removed and area became known as the Place de la Révolution. It was the site of the execution of many by the guillotine, most notably, King Louis XVI and his wife, Marie Antoinette. In 1795 the government of the Directory renamed the area the Place de la Concorde - a name by which it is still known today, although the name has changed from time to time throughout its history. Arno visited the Place de la Révolution on the day Louis XVI was executed because he knew the current Grand Master of the French Templars would be there to watch. He was, however, heavily guarded, and Arno failed in his self-appointed mission - a failure that cost him dearly in more than one way.
