ACverse thoughts of the day: historians if the Assassin-Templar War was common knowledge
literally the most boring topic of study, you show up with a thesis around them, and your teachers roll their eyes so hard they can see their own brains;
"Please, this is a serious institution, do reconsider your topic of study to something more... engaging."
nobody takes them seriously, because primary sources are so bountiful, it's almost embarrassing;
the most intriguing study about the war is the overall lack of splinter factions and infighting;
there are furious debates and speculation on what surely were related factions being assimilated into larger non-related factions, and how the Assassin-Templar dichotomy spread;
many historians look into the records left by both orders to fill in the gaps in their own research;
Abstergo has research fund grants that many try to apply for, and it helps them keep their fingers in any papers being published to tuck away any compromising information;
Abstego being related to the Templars and their very fucked up deeds is fairly well-known, but nobody can do anything about it. think Shell and ExxonMobil bullshit;
some whistleblowers crop up now and again but after the initial outage, not much comes of it. maybe a scapegoat or two get arrested but that's that;
there are conspiracy theorists who think the Assassin-Templar conflict is a hoax, everybody hates them;
historians adore the assassins because 1. they are terrible gossips and 2. they FUCK, and they write a lot, so it's free insider knowledge
