Upon the fortress wall, Gorm Kjotvesson taunted the Raven Clan, refusing to surrender even after witnessing his father's death. After launching a full assault on the fortress, Eivor caught up with Gorm within Agder's temple. As Gorm set the temple aflame, Eivor managed to scale the walls and escape through the roof, only to see Gorm flee on a horse. Eivor proceeded to loot the fortress, meeting Sigurd afterwards, who told Guthorm to inform Harald of their victory. Guthorm replied that he had already done so, saying that Harald had ensured a place at his Althing for the clan, to which Sigurd responded that they would attend. [23]

As appreciation for her aid, Alfred offered to Christianize Eivor. Goodwin appeared and presented Eivor with a silver cross, which she took, though declined the offer. Alfred and Sigebeald left, ringing an intrusion bell as Goodwin pulled out his dagger. Betrayed, Eivor left the chapel and escaped Wincestre, which was full of guards searching for her. [170] Near Reda's tent, Eivor also built a fishing hut for Merton and his grandson Arth and a museum for a man named Octavian. Upon building the former, Eivor gained access to more trade opportunities similar to the Hunter's Hut, though this time involving fish instead of hunted animals. Eivor made these deliveries to Valka, Gunnar, Rowan, Tove, and various other characters, and recieved goods in return. Upon completing the final delivery for Tove, Eivor was rewarded with the Swordfish great sword. [31]On their way to Tamworth, the Vikings were accompanied by Ceolwulf's son, Ceolbert who was curious about the Norse culture. Arriving at the castle gates, the Sons of Ragnar tried to negotiate the surrender of the king, though Burgred refused even if Leofrith advised otherwise. Returning to the camp, Eivor spoke with Ceolbert, who was reluctant to kill his former friends, including Leofrith. Leading the siege of Tamworth was Eivor, Sigurd, and the Sons of Ragnar. After successfully capturing the fortress, Eivor investigated abandoned keep, only to realize that Burgred had escaped. She found a letter from Tonna, indicating she worked both for the Vikings and the Saxons. With this information, the Viking decided to meet the mercenary to learn about Burgred's location. [48] Eivor went around and spoke with all of her friends. She talked to Broder, who was recovering from Brothir's death and continued to mourn for him. She spoke with Vili, who was still in the thrill of battle. Eivor then spoke with Erke, who made note of Stowe, who had been guilty of the blood at his hands. Eivor comforted the reeve and moved on to Eluric, who felt guilty over Hunwald's death. Eivor complimented the boy on his strength and then tended to Ljufvina, who was kneeled before the corpse of her husband. Surprised at Hjorr's death, Eivor comforted her at his corpse, which laid alongside that of Soma and Hunwald. She also spoke with Tewdwr, who was glad that both religions fought alongside each other and admitting that his views on the Norse paganism had changed. Eivor spoke with Geadric and Bishop Deorlaf as well, and spoke of Alfred, who had escaped. [177] As she arrived in Halfdan's castle, Eivor took part in many activities, such as a drinking game, Orlog, a fist-fight, and dancing. Eivor also met Moira, Halfdan's healer. Eivor soon found Halfdan, who was in the middle of an argument with King Ricsige. After the argument, Eivor met with Halfdan briefly before the two were joined by Faravid, who expressed his jealousy of Halfdan. After Faravid left, Eivor spoke with Halfdan at a balcony, where the latter reminisced about battling alongside his brothers. He then spoke of Faravid, and told Eivor why he had been so secretive when Faravid was around. Halfdan spoke of his suspicions on Faravi and presented Eivor a narwhal horn, which he had used as a mead filter, believing that Faravid was attempting to poison him. Halfdan asked Eivor to investigate and see if Faravid was truly who he seemed to be. [142] Eivor's family went on to settle in Heillboer, a small settlement in northern Rygjafylke, within the territory controlled by Styrbjorn Sigvaldisson's clan. Eivor's family came to bond with Styrbjorn's family, with Eivor befriending and growing up alongside Styrbjorn's own son Sigurd. On one occasion, Eivor accidentally spilled ink on her father's throne, much to his anger. She also had fond memories of sitting around the hearth of their longhouse listening to her mother's voice. [3] At the coronation, Eivor found Faravid and Halfdan speaking outside. Eivor led them inside and attended the ceremony, where she spoke with her allies including Moira, Hjorr and Ljufvina, and Faravid, before the coronation began. Eivor shared a drink with Faravid and then watched as Halfdan announced his newest allies, the Raven Clan. However, Halfdan broke into a coughing fit, dropping the goblet he was drinking from. Detecting lead, Halfdan instantly accused Faravid. Faravid drew his sword and prepared to fight, though Eivor stepped before him. The two clashed and after a lengthy fight, Eivor defeated her former friend and brought him to Halfdan, who used his hammer to crush his skull and execute him, albeit showing signs of remorse. After the coronation, Halfdan gifted Eivor an arm band signifying their alliance. [147]

Eventually, Dag was defeated, falling to the ground as he took his dying breaths. Odin appeared aside Eivor, insulting the fallen warrior, before she made the ultimate decision on whether or not to allow Dag into Valhalla. Randvi approached Eivor as she promised to the audience that she would find the Raven Clan's leader and return him home. In the morning, Dag's body was buried in a tomb in the settlement, where Eivor said her final words to her friend before leaving. [102] Red Hand of Jorvik [ ]Waking up the next morning with a hangover Eivor makes her way up to the main hall where the witan met to crown Ceolwulf. At the cermony, Eivor witnessed Burgred trying to abdicate on his terms before being slapped by Ceolwulf, who reminded him that he had no more power. Burgred handed over the crown and was eventually exiled alongside his wife to Rome. After the ceremony, a Viking raider entered and warned about Leofrith's army marching on Repton. Sigurd stayed with the new king while Eivor and the Ragnarssons led the army to Repton to protect the city and save Ceolbert. [54] Eivor arrived at Saint Hadrian's Priory and met Basim, who was in the middle of a conversation with a priest named Hortbert. Eivor listened as the two argued over Christianity, including Christ, the sins of Adam and Eve, free will, and more. Another priest named Cedric joined the conversation and the two priests got carried away with each other. Basim revealed to Eivor that he was trying to gain information from Christians, who might know of Fulke. He also spoke of an abbot named Cynebert, who he had befriended. Basim led his friend to Cynebert, who had met and drank with Fulke less then a month prior. Cynebert had requested Eivor to perform one favor in exchange for information. King Alfred had recently appointed a new ealdorman after the death of Cent's old ealdorman Deogal, and Cynebert wanted to know who the new leader would be prior to the public knowing. Hoping Eivor would help him, Cynebert directed the viking to Tonbridge Monastery, where the king's emissary had stayed. [97] After dealing with both the quarry and the outpost, Eivor, Ivarr, and Ceolbert turned their heads to Wesberie and Rhodri's captain Ynyr. After a short discussion, the three entered Wesberie and burned several cottages in the village, successfully attracting the attention of the Briton captain. Ynyr lead a garrison of soldiers to the trio. After the battle, Ynyr's soldiers were slaughtered and Ynyr himself was eventually killed after a battle with Eivor. After looting Ynyr's Cadfarch Spear and killing the rest of the captian's men, Eivor reunited with Ceolbert and Ivarr on the edge of the town. Ivarr insisted on taking revenge on Rhodri himself, though Eivor reminded her friend that they only battled for peace. [86] Eivor also had a poetic side, speaking with eloquence and often describing events in a manner that resembles skaldic verse. Although Eivor held Hytham and by extension the Hidden Ones in high regard, Eivor kindly declined to join them as it meant keeping her victories and glory quiet, something which went against her culture's nature. Returning to Repton with Ceolbert, Eivor met the Ragnarssons, Sigurd, and Ceolwulf, who had all just arrived. Ceowulf thanked Eivor for saving his son. Then, the new king, who wanted his son to be safe, requested for Ceolbert to live with Ravensthorpe, to which Sigurd accepted, leading Ceolbert and his horse Theobald to Ravensthorpe before parting ways with his sister to Oxenafordscire to ally with the thegns. Ubba, meanwhile, thanked Eivor for her aid and gifted her with an armband as a sign that the Ragnarssons would always be loyal to her and the Raven Clan. [54]

The two boarded Vagn's longship with his Jomsviking crew. They then set sail and arrived in River Exe. As they sailed, Vagn spoke to Eivor about the river, saying that it had once been a smuggling route for Roman traders. They then arrived at and raided Keats Farm and killed the enemy Saxons before looting their goods, including a big ration chest which granted rations for Eivor and the raiders. Eivor returned to the longship and continued sailing as Vagn warned her to stay alert of stronger forces farther into the river. [187] By 872, Eivor and her crew pursued Kjotve, but was captured by him, as he showed her father's axe, as Kjotve used it to kill Varin. She managed to free herself and meet up with her ally, Dag Nithisson and traveled to Avaldsnes to pursue Kjotve. There, she was confronted by Kjotve's follower Rikiwulf, and defeated him and retrieved her father's axe. She then saw a vision of a man in cloak and a wolf, but continued on and rescued her crew before going to the longship. Eivor and her crew returned to Fornburg, and learned from her sister-in-law, Randvi, that Styrbjorn was unpleased with her raid, and that Sigurd was returning from his journey. Following Ciara to Asfinn, Eivor met with druidic priestess Deirdre Na Linni as they discussed the Children of Danu being responsible for the poison and as well as its cure. Swiftly, she followed clues about a member called "The Wren" around Connacht. Investigating Port Auley and Lough Gara, she found out that The Wren was a poetess named Niamh, who was hidden at Rathcroghan. Infiltrating the guarded settlement, Eivor found Niamh and assassinated her. Claiming Niamh's amber shard, she returned to Deirdre and Ciara as the priestess created the cure. As Ciara left to deliver it, Eivor found a clue about another member, " The Cursed," being responsible for the poison. [205] In River Dee, Eivor raided multiple more monasteries and military camps, eventually coming across Saint George's Armor and Great Helm. [192] With only one piece of the armor left, Eivor sailed to Deva Victrix, where she battled and defeated the River Champion there and claimed Saint George's Holy Sword for herself. Upon returning to Vagn, the Jomsviking congratulated her on finding the full set, and hinted towards future legends being found. [193] Travels in Caledonia [ ] Fighting the Picts [ ] During the winter of 876, Eivor spoke with Randvi of an alliance in Snotinghamscire. Randvi told Eivor that she had been invited to the shire by Vili, whom she had not seen in a decade. Knowing that Vili's father Hemming would being a useful ally, Eivor pledged her allegiance to Snotinghamscire and traveled to Snotingham to gain an alliance with Hemming and his cla, Clan Hemmingsons.. [9]In River Severn, Eivor found and defeated England's Champion of the Faith. Upon defeating the champion ad her two body guards at Northern Monastery, Eivor claimed Rollo's Lost Dane Axe, a Dane Axe belonging to her friend Rollo. [244] In River Berbha, Eivor sought two druid siblings that held the title of Ireland's Champions of the Faith. After defeating them at Festering Valley, she claimed the Celtic Crusher. [245] Lastly, Eivor battled Francia's Champion of the Faith in Ferrières on the Rhine, and in doing so recieved Sir Gareth's Holy Sword, completing her collection of River Champion artifacts. [246] A Fated Encounter [ ] Meeting Edyt [ ] In the summer of 873, Eivor had sent out her Jomsviking Alva out on a raiding mission. After a succesful raid Alva returned to the settlement with goods and several barrels of ale which Eivor congratulated with a feast later that night. She also tasked Alva with a new mission to find an the Londinium bureau, an old Hidden One's bureau in Lunden, having herself been tasked with this mission by Basim. [47] Turmoil in Ledecestrescire [ ] Around this time, Ravensthorpe's tattooist Svend had passed in his sleep. Many members of the clan mourned him, though none as much as Tove, Svend's adopted daughter. Eivor saw Tove at Svend's grave and successfully comforted her, who eventually took on Svend's job in the settlement. [71] The next time Eivor spoke with Vagn, she was told of a set of lost armor belonging to Saint George. Vagn told her of legends of the saint's legacy scattered throughout England, though his scouts had recently uncovered hints of the armor set and made a map for Eivor for both River Exe and River Severn. [188]

Arriving at Ubba and Sigurd's small camp, Eivor walked in on them interrogating a Saxon soldier. She asked Sigurd what they gained, learning Burgred's wife Æthelswith was holed up in the fort. Eivor and Sigurd eventually entered Templeborough, either with stealth or a raid, and reached Æthelswith with three of her servants. Questioning her on where her husband was, she answered that she didn't know. She asked the Vikings to free her handmaidens, which they accepted, but shortly after realized that it had been a decoy. She eventually caught up to the real Æthelswith and captured her, tying her up and carrying her to the camp. Bringing her to the camp, Ubba decided to return to Tamworth to interrogate her. With Sigurd, Eivor decided to free the Saxon soldiers who helped them. [52] Circa 888, after Ravensthorpe became a hamlet, the settlement attracted many new faces including Edyt, a Scottish-Norse from a Pict island near Scotland called the Isle of Skye. Friends with Valka, Edyt met Eivor outside of the Seer's Hut. Edyt mentioned that her people were in danger, with Valka following up, stating that they were being "plagued by nightmares," and feared that it may spread to Ravensthorpe. Eivor left to investigate, but not before Valka warned that Randvi was involved, and that the two would have to clash before parting ways forever. Disbelieving this, Eivor and Edyt traveled to the Isle of Skye. [247] Working with Kassandra [ ] During Eivor's adventures, she also encountered the Lost Drengir of Ragnar Lothbrok, six elite Vikings that served the legendary Ragnar Lothbrok. Northeast of Fornburg, Eivor met her first Lost Drengir, Erik Loyalskull, and challenged him in Hildesvini's Crag, in Rygjafylke, northeast of Fornburg. Eivor defeated the Viking and sent him to Valhalla. In East Anglia, northeast of Northwic, Eivor found and challenged Thor the Fish Monger, successfully defeating him as well. In Eurviscire, Eivor defeated Gotafrid Fairrobes south of the Cnuic Fhada Ruins, and Nokkfylla Shine-Eye at Brunton Turret along Hadrian's Wall. In Snotinghamscire, Eivor killed Skegjold Frenzy-Seeker in Thynghowe, and lastly, the shieldmaiden fought and killed Orwig Neverdeath north of Arlekstad in Hordafylke. [184] The battle horn sounded again and Eivor awoke for the fourth time. This time, she had been greeted by Sigurd, who introduced the true Varin. However, Eivor knew that Varin had died a coward, and threw a knife at her father's head, killing him. Varin turned to dust. Concluding that her father should not have been there, Eivor began to question the simulation and it's purpose. Eivor followed Sigurd to the dining hall, where she attempted to convince Svala that the simulation was not real. She caught sight of a table full of the residents of Ravensthorpe, though they too had turned to dust. Eivor told Svala that he had not wanted to live in this world, and had made the decision to leave. [174] Some time later, while training with Tora, Eivor vented her frustrations on her humiliation at the hand of her adoptive father, as he rejected her tribute of Gull as a thrall. Upon hearing Eivor's desires to prove herself, Gull tempted her, claiming she could lead the warrior to bounties and treasures, the same ones she had granted Kjotve. Claiming that since, unlike him, Eivor hadn't tortured her, she would lead Eivor to the " Æsir's hoard". While Tora expressed her doubts, Eivor heeded the slave's words, to Tora's dismay. Eivor then asked Tora to keep her location and objectives a secret, while she followed Gull into the mountain tops of the Feiknstafir mountains. [13]Eivor arrived to see Flann leave but the High King refused the intel due to his bias against the Vikings. After Bárid arrived, Eivor and her allies were soon swarmed by Eogan's men. Fighting off the onslaught, they managed to hold the abbot's men but lost many soldiers in the process. After the ambush, Eivor soon found Bárid dying from his injuries. She prepared him for Valhalla as he made her promise to help Sichfrith earn Flann's support. Soon, she and her allies found themselves in Dublin, paying respects to Bárid's grave. In the process, she and Flann agreed to support and aid Sichfrith's ascent and reign as King of Dublin. [210] Vengeance for Bárid [ ]
