Iona is a small island off the western coast of Scotland, mainly known for housing one of the oldest Christian centers in Western Europe, the Iona Abbey.[1]
History[]
The Scottish Brotherhood of Assassins, knowing that their stronghold at Scone would be attacked by the Templars seeking the Stone of Scone, placed the Stone in the care of William Wallace, who kept moving throughout the winter of 1296, evading the Lann Fala,[2] but he was not able to deliver it to Iona before the thawing.[3]
In 1297, a group composed by Assassins Deorsa, James of Crannach and Fillan, as well as Moira and Ailéas, arrived at Iona and made their way to the abbey, noticing the many corpses of Scottish warriors, English soldiers, and the Lann Fala scattered around on the way there. Upon arriving at Iona Abbey, they saw the Stone abandoned by the entrance to the building, with Cornavii and two other Lann Fala members nearby.[4]
The two groups fought outside of the abbey,[5] with Ailéas ending the fight by striking the Stone with her Sword of Fal, causing an explosion of energy that knocked them all to the ground, damaged the abbey, and sent some of its stones flying off. After a short moment to rest and for Moira to check on Sören, she had the twins help her move the Stone into the Iona Vault.[6]
