Assassin’s Creed Odyssey – ASSASSINS CREED TIMELINE EXPLAINED

 

ISU ERA

What Are The ISU?

The Isu are an ancient and highly-advanced species of humanoid beings who were active on Earth during the eponymous era several millennia before the rise of even the most ancient human civilizations. The Isu are responsible for the creation of the Pieces of Eden, powerful artifacts and weapons that augmented their already superhuman abilities, as well as forming the human race itself.

Due to their long and storied history, and the legacy that their existence left, the Isu, as a species, were known by various names to humanity. Classified Homosapiens divinus by Abstergo Industries, they were also interchangeably referred to as Those Who Came Before, the First Civilization, or the Precursors.

The Anglo-Saxon branch of the Order of the Ancients compared the Isu to the Archons in Gnostic religion or Nephilim from the Biblical mythos. Beyond this, certain groups of Isu, such as the Capitoline Triad, the Æsir, and the Isu Authoriity in Eden, were believed by most human religions to be a part of a pantheon of gods.

Their history shrouded in mystery, the Isu ruled over Earth roughly 77,000 years ago, before they were largely wiped out, alongside their human creations, during the Great Catastrophe. By that point, the Isu had been in a decade long war with a human rebellion led by two hybrids, Adam and Eve, who sought to free humanity from servitude to their “gods”.

Following the Great Catastrophe, the Isu population rapidly declined to the point of near extinction within the century, but their legacy would live on for thousands of years through myth and legend, becoming the focal point of many human religions, whether polytheistic or monotheistic.

Further still, those Pieces of Eden that survive the Great Catastrophe also influenced early man’s development and eventually became a pivotal desire for both the Templar Order and the Brotherhood of Assassins, who waged a war of their own for control of the Pieces, and by extension humanity’s future.

UNKNOWN BCE:

Tensions between different Isu factions result in a war that humans would later turn into the legend of the Æsir-Jötnar war.

Phanes, a scientist belonging to the ancient Isu, started a project to create humanity as a resilient but subservient slave species. Phanes, however, fell in love with a human, who gave birth to a hybrid known as Eve.

In an attempt to save the Earth from a “Great Catastrophe,” Isu scientist Aita experiments on himself, destroying his body. His wife Juno preserves Aita’s genetic material and creates Sages, human vessels that would serve as Aita’s reincarnations over the millennia.

75,010 BCE:

Eve, together with Adam, discovered they were immune to the human-controlling effects of Isu devices known as Pieces of Eden. Knowing this, they stole a Piece of Eden and escaped the Isu city of Eden, which kickstarted a rebellion that later became a full-blown war between Isu and humans.

75,000 BCE:

Knowing most of humanity and the Isu would be destroyed by a solar flare, Isu scientists Minerva, Juno, and Jupiter (also known as the Jötnar by Vikings) attempt to find a way to save everyone. After six failed attempts, Minerva creates a device called the Eye in order to preserve a message so that a future human could protect the Earth from a second catastrophe in 2012 CE. In secret, Juno tampered with the Eye to give her absolute power.

Right before the catastrophe, the Æsir (including Odin, Thor, and other Norse gods) have their consciousness uploaded into the Isu supercomputer Yggdrasil in order to be reincarnated in the future.
As predicted, Earth is hit by a huge solar flare that kills most of humanity and the Isu.

UNKNOWN BCE:

In order to rebuild the world, the remaining Isu and humans decide to work together. The Isu share their technology with humans, allowing them to do incredible feats, which eventually become the basis for many mythologies and religions – like Hercules being an actual hero or the aforementioned Æsir. Eventually, the Isu still became extinct.

431 BCE (Events of Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey):

The Misthios ends up destroying the Cult of Kosmos.

2020:

An unexplained strengthening of Earth’s magnetic field has started to affect global satellite communications and even the environment itself, so much so that the Northern lights are seen all the time.

From Eivor’s memories, the present-day Assassins deduce that the strengthening magnetic field is a result of Desmond activating the Isu devices to protect Earth in 2012. The magnetic field that saved Earth eight years prior has grown too powerful.

Using the healing powers of the Staff of Hermes to protect herself from the lethal radiation within, Layla enters an Isu temple in Norway to slow down the magnetic field. But inside the temple’s simulation computer, Layla encounters Basim/Loki, who has been trapped for a millennium.

Like Juno before him, Basim instructs Layla in how to stabilize the magnetic field and save the Earth, but in turn this releases Basim – and imprisons Layla inside the machine.

Now trapped in the simulation, Layla meets The Reader, a figure heavily implied to be Desmond Miles. The Reader explains that the machine (Yggdrasil) can calculate millions of possible futures and help in preventing future catastrophes. Layla decides to stay behind in the simulation to try and find a solution to the incoming catastrophe, even though she knows the radiation will soon kill her.

Reunited with the Staff of Hermes, which contains the consciousness of his lover, Aletheia, Basim rejuvenates his body and escapes the temple. He then meets with Layla’s Assassin colleagues and requests to meet William Miles, still the leader of the Brotherhood, in order to take the fight back to the Templars.

But before it all ends, Basim swears to the bones of Eivor that he’ll use the Animus to track down his missing children.
