Story beats · 7

1. 01Three personas

   Lady, Slave, Assassin — Aveline's disguises are the game's whole grammar: access, invisibility, and the blade.

2. 02The handover

   France signs Louisiana to Spain and the Templars steer the paperwork. Aveline starts with the governor's office.

3. 03The false Mackandal

   A rogue Assassin wears a dead legend's name to rule the bayou's smuggling — and to bait Agaté out of hiding.

4. 04Chichén Itzá

   Disguised among the enslaved, Aveline reaches the Templar dig, frees the site, kills de Ferrer — and lifts the Prophecy Disk from a Mayan vault.

5. 05The officer who was George

   Hunting a Templar on the frontier with Connor, Aveline finds a man she once helped escape — and a lead pointing home.

6. 06The Company Man

   Louisiana's Templar coordinator is Madeleine — the stepmother who raised her as a long recruitment. Aveline lets herself be inducted.

7. 07The purge at the ceremony

   The initiation becomes the rite's funeral: officers, then Madeleine. The Disk finally plays — Eve, and a war older than history.
