What name is given to the Apple-shaped Piece of Eden in Assassin's Creed lore?

The story behind the answer

The Apple of Eden is the Apple-shaped Piece of Eden in Assassin's Creed lore.

Pieces of Eden are fictional artifacts created by the Isu, an advanced civilization that existed before humanity's recorded history in the series. The Apples are associated with powerful abilities, including influencing minds, creating illusions, and controlling or revealing information through visions.

The artifact appears prominently in the original Assassin's Creed game, where Altaïr and the Templars compete for control of an Apple. Other games feature additional Apples and related Pieces of Eden, showing that the artifact is part of a broader collection rather than a single unique object.

The Sword of Eden, Staff of Eden, and Shroud of Eden are separate artifacts with different forms and functions. The word “Apple” refers to the artifact's shape and its recurring symbolic connection to forbidden knowledge, not to an ordinary historical object.
