Edward Kenway's journal

Juan Vedomir's journal was a journal written by Juan Vedomir, or several members of the Assassin Order, detailing the Assassins' research into the Grand Temple, the main temple of the First Civilization.

By 1747, the journal was kept by Juan Vedomir in his villa in, Spain. When Reginald Birch, Grand Master of the Templar Order's British Rite, sent Haytham Kenway to eliminate Juan Vedomir, Kenway took the journal with him to England.

Kenway gave the journal to Birch, who started to decode the journal alongside John Harrison, both sharing a passionate interest in the First Civilization. By August 1753, the British Templars were able to establish the existence of an amulet key that would open the doors to the First Civilization storehouse, and by 1754, discovered that the amulet was safeguarded by the Assassin Miko. During a performance of  at the Royal Opera House in London on 18 April, Kenway assassinated Miko and obtained the amulet.

Birch then sent Kenway to the British colonies in North America with the journal, as Harrison's calculations concluded that the storehouse was located somewhere in New York or Massachusetts. With the help of the Kanien'kehá:ka woman Kaniehtí:io, Kenway arrived at the Grand Temple's door, but was unaware that the amulet would only open the Grand Temple's inner door. Concluding that the site was not correct, Kenway had William Johnson make a copy of the journal, but eventually decided to give up their pursuits of the Grand Temple as not to disrupt the Kanien'kehá:ka living in the area.

In 1757, Kenway returned to London and returned the journal to Reginald Birch, while lying that the Colonial Templars were still working on finding the storehouse.
