What is Assassin’s Creed Isu Civilization? This article contains general spoiler information about the Assassin’s Creed series.
Assassin’s Creed is the first thing that comes to mind when it comes to Assassin’s Creed, as you can imagine. Because that’s the name of the game itself! Assassins… Assassins… An organization that hides in the shadows for the good of people in a window of faith and organizes assassinations for the welfare of society. And another organization called the Templars, which has a completely opposite consensus with this organization. A story about the bloody war between two organizations that has been going on for centuries. This is roughly the story behind the scenes of Assassin’s Creed games.

What is Assassin’s Creed Isu Civilization? What lies behind the mythology?
What if I said that apart from the history and philosophy in the series, which is independent of all this, but also seems to be so connected, this well-established structure has a science fiction side, albeit relatively? For example, the great war between the Templars and the assassins, which has existed for years and still continues to exist, actually means nothing…
According to the fictional story in the series, do you know that all the concepts that we know as mythology today and see as a legend are actually Isular, which is the subject of our article? This advanced human type, called Isular, forms the main story of the Assassin’s Creed series at one point.
The domination of the Isu over mankind
There is not much information about the origins of this race, which is said to be an advanced human species and founded the first global civilization on earth. However, according to the story, it is told that they existed 77 thousand years ago and were much more advanced than today’s world in terms of technology. The mobile technologies of today’s time, aerospace engineering, quantum physics, artificial intelligence, etc., even the highest level sciences you can think of remain primitive in the enormous order established by the Isus. Because Isular, this will sound a bit strange, but; He already invented today’s controversial artificial intelligence thousands of years ago. Again, the topic of machine learning and how machines can pose a threat to us in the future, which is talked about a lot these days, was also on the agenda of Isu in those years. In fact, Isu’s understanding of machinery is different from ours, more unethical. As a matter of fact, for Isular, machine means human in a context!
According to Isular in the story in the Assassin’s Creed series, one of the reasons for the existence of the human race is;
It is to create a potential society with the aim of meeting its own needs and creating an obedient workforce. They make this society by changing the genetics of primate species. As a matter of fact, the understanding of the theory of evolution as we know it today will find a place for itself in this fictional story. But besides all this, the human race is an intelligent being. As time progresses, it is thought that Isu may pose a threat to civilization, and at the end of the day, some decisions are made. The aforementioned decisions are far from such a civilized, or rather, so-called civilized society.
Isular begins to develop a series of technological tools in order to establish greater dominance over the human race. The Apple of Eden, or in other words, the Apple of Eden, which we see in the series and where assassins and templars eat each other to get it, is one of these tools.

Adam and Eve, Phanes, Hybrids and Eagle Vision
In short, the Isular managed to get what they wanted up to a point. They have established absolute dominance over the earth by making human beings work like slaves, so to speak, they have become ‘masters’. However, one of them, an Isu scientist named ‘Phanes’, makes a big mistake and it costs an entire Isu race.

Phanes fell in love with one of the people he had genetically modified. This is also the first example of the emotional bond formed between an Isu and a human. But his own race does not accept this situation and Phanes flees to Atlantis with his loved one. After a while, Phanes’ wife becomes pregnant with a daughter. The boy’s name is Eve!
What is Assassin’s Creed Isu Civilization? First Hybrid Eve (while stealing the Eden)
Eve has a structure that is not affected by the ancient technology used by the Isular. Because he is a hybrid, the blood of Isu running through his veins sets him apart from other ordinary people. That’s why she doesn’t want her own race to be treated like a slave. Years later, she will unite with a human named Adam and lead the people’s side in the ten-year Human-Isu war. And his children born of Adam will be a hybrid just like him, continuing his somewhat peculiar lineage. The two characters Kassandra and Alexios we see in Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, their grandfather Leonidas, and even the names Pythagoras seen in Atlantis are examples of the human hybrid issue.
In fact, Eagle Vision, which is used as a mechanic in almost the whole series, is also a feature from Isu. As a result of interbreeding between humans and Isular for thousands of years, in some humans;
(we see this feature mostly in the assassins we control.)
There is an extra emotional perception. This perception is supported by the sixth sense in today’s terms, meaning Knowledge for the Isular.
Great Disaster
As a result of the rebellion initiated by the Adam and Eve duo, a war that lasted for exactly 10 years between the human race and the Isular emerged. While mankind struggles with the Isular to get the freedom they deserve, the Isular fight to keep their established order that has been going on for thousands of years. A lot of losses are given. Perhaps the bloodiest war since world history, this war. Both sides smash each other in the eyes of the values that they think are right. But unfortunately, both sides are too blind to see the truth.
Because of their greed, they are unaware of the impending disaster. As a matter of fact, this disaster does not have a class distinction like human or Isu. Because what is at stake is that our world in the solar system is now coming to an end.

After the disaster, almost all of the living population on earth, mostly the Isu race, perished. Then the whole world begins to rise from its ashes. Moreover, as the human race is in the majority compared to the Isu, a number of new views emerge as time progresses. According to the general story in the Assassin’s Creed series, the mythological characters and even mythological creatures we know today are actually the Isu race, which survived the great disaster. For example, the character named Odin in Norse mythology is originally an Idur. Just like Poseidon in Greek mythology.
So why is this so? That is, why does mankind put such beings in the guise of gods over time? Are the Isular superior to humans?
It is actually superior. Especially physically, he is much more durable, much taller or much stronger than an ordinary person. They are unique beings that can adapt to all kinds of technology they have used for thousands of years. The notion of sixth sense, which I just mentioned, also allows them to be one step ahead of humanity. This inevitably causes this race to appear superior to people. This is roughly the basis of myths and legends in world history.

What I am going to tell you now is much more important than the issues I have mentioned throughout the article and is much more related to the upcoming Mirage game.
Reincarnation!
During the great catastrophe, the majority of the population perished, and a small group survived in bunkers built with cutting-edge technology and rebuilt today’s world. But some Isular resort to new methods that no one would have thought of during the disaster. Reincarnation!
According to the story in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, these Issular have reincarnated. Even the glorious names of the Aesir in Norse mythology;
So names like Odin, Tyr, Thor, and Loki are some of the faces that emerged in the golden age of the Vikings.
- Based on this; Eivor Odin.
- Sigurd, Tyr,
- Halfdan, Thor and of course Loki are Basim ibn Isaac!
In all Assassin’s Creed games released so far, Isular either appeared as a hologram or manifested on an item thanks to the consciousness they had previously transferred. But what happened in Valhalla is officially a game changer. This time, we see the time of the great disaster from a different window. Under the leadership of Odin, a group of eight people sitting at a large table transfers their consciousness to the separate fetal hives and they are reborn in this way.

It may come as a surprise to first-timers, but the ending in Valhalla marks it out. As you know, the main character of Assassin’s Creed Mirage will be Basim. Let’s keep this information in our pocket, because somehow Basim’s story will fit in with Loki. We’ll see together when the time comes.
