Years before the events of Assassin’s Creed Mirage, a young Fuladh must return to his homeland to investigate political unrest that could point to a secret Order of the Ancients' stronghold. But in uncovering what’s behind the chaos and violence in Adulis, Fuladh and Roshan discover a brutal cult oppressing the local peoples, and set out to defeat it. Fuladh and Roshan, prominent characters from the Assassin’s Creed Mirage game, return to Fuladh’s homeland of Adulis in North Africa to investigate reports of a possible Order of the Ancients’ stronghold. In reality it turns out that a brutal cult has taken over the region under the leadership of a crazed and paranoid leader who worships an elder snake god. He’s determined that since the Christian god could not protect their people from war and hardship, they must put their faith in the snake god instead. Fuladh and Roshan partner with some locals to infiltrate the mighty fortress that the cult has taken over to rescue the slaves and end the cult’s reign of terror.
