This is a crossover started by [[Tropers/Liangnui|Liangnui]] in the aftermath of a marathon run of ''[[Assassin's Creed II (Video Game)|Assassin's Creed II]]'' and a much longer time spent rereading the ''[[Forgotten Realms]]'' books by R. A. Salvatore. And then, an idea sprang to mind.
 
This is the result.
 
As a result of his attempt to destroy the Piece of Eden at the end of ''[[Assassin's Creed I (Videovideo Gamegame)|Assassin's Creed I]]'', Altair's world takes a turn for the weird when the item rips a hole in space-time in order to defend itself. More specifically, it punches a hole through reality to the world that time forgot--Abeir-Toril, the ''[[Forgotten Realms]]'' campaign setting, right after the [[Legacy of the Drow Series|the reappearance of Crenishinobon and Artemis Entreri]]. Altair gets dragged along for the ride. Oddly, the artifact seems to be as much at home in Toril as on Earth, and attracts a lot more trouble for our intrepid Assassin, who just wants to find a way home.
 
The journey begins in Calimport, with an [[Literature/Silver Scales|oddly familiar priest and his "dog"]] and it only gets weirder from there.
 
=== This work provides examples of these tropes: ===
* [[Audience Surrogate]]: Altair, to both halves of the crossover to some degree--those more familiar with ''[[Assassin's Creed I (Videovideo Gamegame)|Assassin's Creed I]]'' will probably need the exposition he gets, but those familiar with the Realms and not his game get to learn about it through his internal monologues.
* [[Batman Gambit]]: Keras on Immersa.
* [[Call a Smeerp Aa Rabbit]]: Ash is very obviously not a dog, but everyone insists on referring to him as one, apparently for lack of any other descriptor. Altair is the only one that finds this odd.
* [[Character Filibuster]]: Oceanus's argument with Yinochek.
* [[Curb Stomp Battle]]: Oceanus, Ash, and Altair vs. Wererats. Riyaz vs. Local Wildlife. Altair, Oceanus, Ash, and Riyaz vs. The Elves. Raaze and Rime vs. Oceanus and Riyaz. Sinya vs. anyone.
Line 19:
* [[Establishing Character Moment]]: The first time Raaze and Rime appear by name, they destroy a tavern in Skullport on a whim in order to prove that they are, in fact, [[Eviler Than Thou]].
* [[Evasive Fight Thread Episode]]: Altair vs. Entreri. Who would win? Not that they ever find out...
* [[Everything's Squishier Withwith Cephalopods]]: Nahuatl, the kraken who attacks during the time the main characters spend on a ship and is [[Kill It Withwith Fire|promptly fired for it]].
* [[Foreshadowing]]: It's less obvious for people who haven't already read the notes for ''[[Literature/Silver Scales|Silver Scales]]'', but most of the characters who are involved in the background scheming don't seem to be even marginally friendly. They're not.
* [[Hero-Killer]]: Raaze and Rime.
