History

In 1296, after the massacre at Berwick, Sören and his mercenaries made a stop at Dalkeith where they were told to take Fillan all the way to Scone.

A short time later, the leader of the Lann Fala Cornavii met with English army commander Bradley Dacre to inform him that the army would go to Scone and recover some important objects, the location of which they had learned thanks to an informant behind the enemy lines.

When the mercenaries arrived at Scone Abbey, Sören went to talk with Thomas of Balmerino, while Fillan toured the building and met the Assassins Deorsa and William Wallace. While talking with Wallace, Fillan spied two monks ensuring a replica of the stone was perfectly aligned and in no danger of falling from the two granite blocks it was perched upon. That same night, Sören led Fillan down into the vault where the Council of the Brotherhood met, promising he would finally get some answers about the Assassins, the Templars, and the Children of Fal. They would also gift him one of the Swords of Fal and invite him to join their Brotherhood, which he would accept the following night.

The English army arrived at Scone days before what Deorsa had expected, attacking them and setting fire to the building. Sören ordered Fillan and Kyle Macdougall to flee through the woods while the others would engage in combat. However, the English knew of Fillan's existence through the Templar informant and gave chase. Kyle took Fillan up in the trees and they progressed slowly but without drawing attention until she slipped on a branch, which ended up alerting them. To draw attention from Fillan, Sören confronted Cornavii, with both men injuring the other. Upon noticing some of his men were dead and others were fleeing, Cornavii disappeared among the flames which had spread to the forest. Though Scone Abbey was ransacked, the Assassins and the mercenaries managed to survive the attack.
