===The Tower===
Around the time of the Human-Isu War, the Precursors who decided not to get involved in the conflict started to investigate in possible solutions to save both their civilization and Earth from the Great Catastrophe. One of these plans consisted of building four towers to redirect the solar flares into the Grand Temple to dispel it.Assassin's Creed III – Modern day The first of these towers, Maekinn, was built in Eitri and employed the populace of master craftsmen. In secret, the Isu scientist Juno made regular visits to the site to see to its specific construction, without the knowledge of the rest of the Capitoline Triad. Though, the efforts were stopped midway through constructing even one of these towers since it would take too long.
