Product Information

Eivor followed Ceolbert, who insisted on fishing to calm his mind, to a nearby pond, with Ivarr tailing behind. After catching three eels for a soup for Deorlaf, the three met with Deorlaf, who was preparing to meet again with Rhodri, this time insisting Ivarr to stay out of it. Angered, Ivarr stormed off. Ceolbert also left, hunting a boar to give to Rhodri. Eivor told Deorlaf to build a camp as they awaited for Rhodri's arrival. After a while, the Britons had arrived, though not with Rhodri, but rather her wife Angharad. Eivor negotiated a deal, allowing the Britons a few days to leave Caustow Castle, and in turn, the Britons would end the war. [86] Eivor returned to Ravensthorpe and reported to Randvi about her status with Haldan, remarking her successful alliance. [148] Treachery in Jotunheim [ ] Upon a nearby hill, more Picts arrived, though a horn had been sounded nearby, distracting the soldiers as the mighty Halfdan appeared behind the Picts, slaughtering them alongside his men. The two parties met at the bottom of the hill, where Halfdan and Eivor introduced themselves to one another. Halfdan hinted to speak with Eivor in private, and set of to Donecastre. Eivor spoke with Faravid one last time, who asked for her first impressions on the man before he left, leaving Eivor to head to Halfdan. [142] Later in 886, as Ravensthorpe was celebrating Sigrblot, Eivor was entreated by Toka Sinricsdottir and her advisor, Frankish rebel Pierre, to support Toka's uncle Sigfred, jarl of Clan Elgring, in besieging the Frankish city of Paris. [219] Traveling with Toka and Pierre, she arrived in Francia to meet Sigfred in Melun. [220] Upon arrival, she traveled through southern Melunois and arrived in Melun, only to hear that Sigred was outside the settlement. [221]

Eivor went to search around, eavesdropping on a conversation between the civilians Olga and Elspeth on the beach, two workers near an in-progress house, two guards near the gate, and Aud and Helgi at a makeshift tavern. Eivor began to investigate the settlement, eventually finding a set of footprints leaving the storehouse to high ground. After following the footprints, Eivor arrived at a cliff viewpoint at Tiotenontatierénhton overlooking the village of Karonhiakèn:iate' belonging to a group of people known as the Kanien'kehá:ka [133] As Eivor arrived in Quatford, she entered the longhouse where she saw her friends Ivarr and Ceolbert sparring each other. After the spar ended, Ceolbert greeted Eivor and spoke of making peace with King Rhodri. Ivarr chipped in, mentioning that they had captured Rhodri's brother, Gwriad ap Merfyn, planning to use him to negociate peace. Ceolbert also mentioned Sciropescire's new temporary ealdorman, Bishop Deorlaf, who had taken the position after the previous ealdorman, Merton, died in battle. Eivor made a remark on Rhodri, reminding Ceolbert to still respect the king. Ivarr, however, stated that they would not be treated well when they met him, as the two had some rivalry in the past. He pointed to the scar on his face, telling Eivor the origin behind it and that Rhodri had caused it. After the conversation, the three set off to meet with Rhodri and his company. [83]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 [ ] Master Archer: Eivor was also an excellent archer, rarely missing targets even from great range, and even could even hit multiple targets simultaneously, though it required much focus to do so. Upon returning, Eivor was greeted by Sigurd's wife Randvi, who informed her of Styrbjorn's displeasure with her raid against Kjotve. Eivor also learned that his brother would be returning soon from his long-lasting journey. Eivor went to talk to Styrbjorn, though was told that he was in a meeting with a messenger. [8] At Ravensburg, Eivor and Birna readied to decimate Wigmund's forces. Through conversation, Eivor learned that Birna was in love with Soma who did not feel the same. After Ravensburg was free of Wigmund's influence, Eivor had Birna return to Grantebridge where she would later follow. [40]

After killing all of Ragnar's lieutenants, Eivor acquired a scroll recalling Ragnar Lothbrok's death. She then traveled to the location of his death, east of Jorvik, and found the snake pit in which the legendary Viking was killed. Eivor dropped down into the pit and killed the snakes, finding the cage that he had been held in. Eivor reimagined the scene, with Ragnar angry at King Aella, and the Ragnar's Drengir arriving too late to save him. Eivor then found a shiny glint in the soil. She bent down and brushed off the dirt to find Drengiligr, Ragnar's weapon forged from Damascus steel. Eivor took the seax and left. [184] Legendary Animals [ ]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 [ ] Eivor also tended to Estrid, who had been eager to leave Essexe and return to Francia. Estrid planned to be kidnapped during the Lammas festival, a Christian feast that Birstan was holding that would have civilians too drunk and groggy to notice. Eivor asked Estrid about her ship's captain, a Norse named Rollo who was inside a brothel. Estrid left as Eivor entered the brothel to meet Rollo in foreplay with a prostitute. Eivor told the captain that she served Estrid and was here to take Rollo, though the interaction was interrupted by Alfred's forces outside of the door. Eivor used her axe to free Rollo from his bondage chains and proceeded to follow the Viking out the window. Outside, they were met with the Saxon soldiers, whom the engaged in battle and defeated. After killing the final soldier, Eivor introduced herself to Rollo before he left to find his warrior camp. [119] Aside from the regular animals she encountered throughout her life, Eivor also fought larger or more hostile variants of these animals, creatures only said to be myths. Most of these Legendary Animals were marked by Wallace in the Hunter's Hut in Ravensthorpe. Eivor's first animal was the Elk of Bloody Peaks, west of Fornburg in Rygjafylke. Upon defeating the massive elk, Eivor chopped off it's head as a trophy, and returned it to Wallace in exchange for a tattoo scheme. [3] Thus, Eivor returned to Sigfred as they continued to prepare for the siege. However, she sought for peace and wanted to talk with Charles once more. [227] Preparing their forces, Eivor and Sigfred moved his warriors and catapults into Defender's Rest, facing towards the Île de la Cité. [228] Meeting with Toka's former lover and smuggler, Nolwenn, Eivor set up explosives under the Wooden Bridge's weak points. [229] Once more, she soon investigated and found King Charles again and talked about a peace, only to be met with a condition of bringing Bernard to him. [230]

On 31 October 876, Eivor traveled to the town of Glowecestre, where found Gunnar and his lover Brigid on the west part of town. Eivor asked to meet the ealdorman and Brigid's adopted father Cynon in hopes of securing an alliance. Gunnar explained that the town was celebrating a holiday known as Samhain. The two found Cynon, who was preoccupied, and instead spoke with the next ealdorman in line Tewdwr, who greeted the both. Noticing tension rising between Eivor and Tewdwr, Gunnar suggested apple cider before Cynon joined the conversation, happily welcoming Eivor and dismissing Tewdwr's obvious dislike towards Christian pagans. Tewdwr left to pray, to which Cynon requested Eivor to escort him, much to Tewdwr's abhorrence. [152]Eivor eventually returned home with her crew and was greeted by Tove. She soon approached the longhouse and sat on the jarl's chair, symbolizing the new leadership over the clan, as the Raven Clan celebrated. [175] Pacifying England [ ] Invasion of Hamtunshire [ ] In 878, after some time as the new jarlskona of the Raven Clan, Eivor met with Randvi once more and pledged to Hamtunscire. Randvi told Eivor of King Alfred and his Saxon army, and that they were preparing for war. Guthrum and Ubba had gathered a large force and were planning to strike. Before Eivor left, she was stopped by Valka, who warned her that they would win the upcoming battle, but not the war. Eivor chose to go anyways, and the seer warned her to go with care. [176]
