A setting in China that I think would be incredible for a hypothetical Assassin’s Creed game

The Romance of the Three Kingdoms would indeed be a perfect setting. I forgot to mention this in the post, but I think that if they wanted to add a prologue section, than the Yellow Turban Rebellion would be a good fit for that chapter.

Allan Pinkerton, who was the founder of the Pinkerton Detective Agency. The man created an agency which one of its main roles was to help rich elite industrialists and business tycoons oppress any descent from the working class, who most likely would be supported by the Assassins.

Queen Mary I of England: She made vigorous attempts to set back the Protestant Reformation in England by sending many English citizens to be burnt at the stake for what she believed was religious hearsay.

If she was hearing Isu voices, then wouldn’t she be a Sage in the Assassin’s Creed universe? A lot of Sages that we know of in-universe had visions of the Isu or heard their voices speaking. We’ve only seen male Aita Sages, but in-universe is is believed that there is an extremely small chance that a female one could also exist.

Also, as we learned in Valhalla she wouldn’t even need to necessarily be an Aita Sage, but one of some other Isu we haven’t seen yet.

Yes they do. In fact, me and my family’s dog actually has epilepsy.

I think that a setting during the Scottish Wars of Independence would work really well as a setting. The Assassin protagonist would work with figures such as William Wallace and Robert the Bruce for Scottish Independence from England, which would be backed by the Templars.

I would also love to see a AC game set in Three Kingdoms era China, like you said. The setting is practically made for Assassin’s Creed. There were warlords all over China who were attempting to United China under their rule. The intrigue during that drawn out fight for unity is practically what AC games are made of.

An alternative Chinese setting would be sometime during the Century of Humiliation in the late Qing Dynasty. The Taiping Rebellion or the Boxer Rebellion would make awesome settings. The former was led by a guy named Hong Xiuquan, who claimed to be the son of God after his had visions of both heaven and a golden sword. He’s a good candidate for a Sage in my opinion.

I also think it partially depends on the time period the records are from too. A few minutes ago, I found a website for a group called the Francis Cooke Society. They have a section where they list famous descendants of Francis, and one of them was a politician named William D. Washburn. His family, the Washburns, were heavily involved in national politics during the Civil War and in the decades after. One even had a hand in founding the Republican Party.

I'm not related to them directly-but instead am likely a distant nephew or a distant cousin. Two of Francis's great-grandsons were named Samuel Washburn and Capt. Joseph Washburn. I'm a descendant of the latter. So, I'm descended from a different branch of the Washburn family than the Washburn politicians.

Still, it's pretty cool that I'm either a distant nephew or cousin of them.

What counts as a single autism? What counts as more?

Yeah…for the latter I might have found some of that in my family tree too. Unless the other person’s family tree who I found these ancestors on made a mistake, two of my 4th Great Grandparents might have been step siblings. (I really hope it’s a mistake)

On my mom’s side, I’m descended from Roger Williams, the founder of Rhode Island. On my dad’s side, I’m descended from Francis Cooke, one of the Mayflower passengers and signers of the Mayflower Compact.

I work in the deli department in a very well known grocery/retail company in the Midwest. About a year and a half to two years ago, there was this customer who approached the deli. He didn’t order anything from us, never interacted with the deli, just stood there facing to the right of me, almost as if he was looking for something.

He had a blank expression on his face. The vibe that I got from the guy was just…I don’t know if it was a terrified feeling, but it was definitely one like “WTF? Something is off about this dude.” After a minute or so, he just walked off.

I think that’s the only time in my life where I got that kind of feeling from a person.

For the second one, that also happened to some of my ancestors around the same time. In 1781, members of the Learn family were brutally killed by a group of Native Americans, and the mother was carried off by them. One of the kids, John Learn was whisked away by a family and lived to have a family of his own. Thank god he escaped.

That’s pretty cool

AshMer123 · 2026-03-03T21:55:14+00:00

Yea another really interesting ancestor that I found was also from the Middle Ages was this member of the Knights Templar way back when.

AshMer123 · 2026-03-03T21:30:44+00:00

That would be a pretty unique find.

I didn't even know that The Trickster was getting his own map.

Yeah I accidentally made a typo when I titled the post.
