While many images are blurred over in secret spots, this one isn’t. But it isn’t exactly the truth either.

Kangtega is a giant mountain peak in the Himalayasal. For reasons no one can explain, it’s blacked out on Google Earth. Some say it’s a system glitch. I say it’s where The League of Assassins is.
