Continuity[]
On page 76, Aspasia is referred to as Perikles wife. However in-game (and historically) she is only portrayed as being his companion.
On page 98, Xenia is referenced as wearing a formidable helmet (present in concept art), however in-game Xenia wears no such helmet.
On page 134, Layla Hassan is mentioned as still being an Abstergo employee working for their Historical Research and Development division. None of her affiliation to the Assassins are mentioned.
On page 163, the Atlantis artifacts are erroneously referred to as Apples of Eden.
On page 181, the Daughters of Artemis are referred to as the "Huntresses of Artemis".
