Tunguska explosion

The Tunguska explosion was an event that happened in 1908. It was caused by Nikola Tesla, working for the Assassins, who was trying to destroy The Staff, a Piece of Eden as a strike against the Templars. The Staff's current status is unknown, but the two most plausible explanations are that it was either destroyed in the blast, or carried away to an unknown location. It was a major Assassin victory in the early twentieth century, because of The Staff's destruction or loss as well as the destruction of a Templar research facility. The explosion flattened more then 2,000 kilometers of pine forest in what is now Krasnoyarsk Krai in Russia. Nikolai Orelov was most likely one of the Assassins involved.
