December 07, 2023The Black Cross: Tool of the Templars or the Assassins?
Today's episode is a departure from our assassins vs. templars series. We're taking a look into a role named the Black Cross. This role is held by one person and works within the Templar Order for reform. But they also have the right to work with the assassins. So are they a tool that can be used by the assassins as well? We take a look at all these questions and more, as well as all the lore behind the origin of the Black Cross.
