"3. September 1128
Lalli took me in when I lost everyone I loved. He taught me in history, and writing – both Futhark and Latin. He taught me in philosophy and combat – armed and unarmed. He taught me a code. A code my father was going to bestow upon me: Vætki ar sannr, alþingi ar lofað (Nothing is true, everything is permitted). The maxim of our creed. The Assassin's Creed.
Lalli told me about the war between the Templars and the Ásasonar, as we Assassins are calling ourselves here in Scandinavia – it means "The Sons of the Æsir".
He told me about how the Templars seek to dominate and control all lands and men. Take away all freedom. Ten years ago they decided, that they needed the Church as an ally – Through this alliance the Templars became much more powerful. This is why we Assassins fight them, and have done so for millennia. We Ásasonar seek to promote freedom through peace. The king and his son are Templars – His nephew and his nephew's family are supporters of the Assassins. For now, non of them are causing trouble here in Denmark, but the Assassins are fearing an imminent disaster."
