The two made their way to the town hall, where they met Herefrith and Acha. After conversing with the two, they had left, leaving the suspicious Hunwald to ask Eivor to question Acha's healers at her hospice, to which she agreed. [110] Eivor made her way to the hospice, where she questioned many of the nuns there. Eventually she spoke with the head sister, who directed her to a Roman bathhouse south of Lincoln. Eivor arrived at the ruins, dealing with bandits and finding her way down into the Old Lincoln Sewers, which took her to Roaring Meg's Spring. Eivor investigated a struggle that had happened and conclueded that the ealdorman had been brought safely to Bolingbroc Castle. [111] Eivor spoke with the village leaders Konwahawíhshon and Karonhiaktátie'. Neither parties knew the other's mother tongue, which prevented vocal communication between the two. Sýnin perched on Eivor's arm, astounding the two tribal leaders. Konwahawíhshon then left and led Eivor to Olav, whom had taken residence in the village in a cave behind a waterfall. Eivor mentioned she was searching for Gorm, leading Olav to express his dislike for Gorm before explaining how and why he had escaped Gorm's settlement. Eivor followed Olav out of the waterfall as she gained more intel on Gorm, who had possessed a Crystal Ball to find " the door to Jotunheim." Olav spotted smoke rising from the Steinnhus Camp, one of Gorm's establishments. Before striking, however, Eivor was gifted leather and copper from Olav to help trade with the local villagers for better gear. [133] Arriving at Repton, the Vikings ran into the city as the Mercians already breached the main gate of the city. During the fight, Eivor saw Ceolbert dueling Leofrith. Knowing that the young man wasn't strong enough, Eivor intervened fighting personally Leofrith. After being defeated, Leofrith asked Eivor to kill as Burgred was no more on the throne. Eivor then returned to the vision state, where Odin advised her to respect Leofrith's choice, even if Eivor thought that the Mercian must know that his king betrayed him. After deciding Leofrith's fate, Eivor met Ceolbert, congratulating him for his courage during the fight. [54]

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.

The king thanked Eivor for her aid in bringing down Audun and was granted the title of Honorary High Reeve of Jorvik. After making the decision of what to do with Grigorii's stolen silver, Eivor spoke with her friends Hjorr and Ljufvina one last time, gaining herself another alliance before deciding to return home. [106] Circa 879, Eivor once again met with Azar as she agreed to go meet her cousin. Soon, she and Azar set sail and arrived in Dublin. [196] Helping Bárid [ ] In Glowecestre, Eivor eliminated Eanbhert, whom she had found off a clue from Hunta. The clue off of Eanbhert led the shieldmaiden to Quatford, where she assassinated another Ancient named Tata as he stood by the stables of the town. Tata's death gave Eivor a clue to her next target, which she followed to Ledecestre and Cweornric before arriving at Repton, where she located and assassinated her target, a woman named Gunilla. Eivor turned her attention the the last member of the Wardens of Law, the Maegester Reeve Derby. Eivor traveled northward to Picheringa and assassinated the leader of the Wardens of Law, ending their activities. [180] 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.When she completed her first ten contracts for the Thousand Eyes, Eivor returned to Reda and was gifted the Rune Shield from the young merchant. [46] Alva's Mission [ ]

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] At the north gates of Lunden, Eivor met Stowe, one of the two reeves of Lunden, who was occupied with trying to calm down a rallied crowd. Eivor asked Stowe of Tryggr, the governor of the city, though the conversation was interrupted by a Norse thug working for a man named Avgos. Eivor threw the thug aside before being approached by another, larger thug. Stowe kneed the thug in the groin and a brawl broke out, with Eivor and Stowe facing off against more thugs. After defeating them, Stowe complimented Eivor's fighting and led him to Tryggr. [74]

As Eivor was tasked by Sigurd to grow the settlement, she participated in raids to stole resources for the construction of buildings and shops. [31] Afterwards, she met Randvi at the alliance map, where she explained the need to make alliances in England to assure the future of the colony. She decided to pledge to Grantebridgescire to help the jarlskona Soma and her Great Summer Army. Randvi also suggested Eivor talk with Hytham after building a bureau, as his research could help the clan in bringing in new allies. [32] During the night Eivor and Soma's clan celebrated their victory in the longhouse. Waking up to find her drunk clan asleep, Soma informed Eivor that an underground tunnel had been the entry point for Wigmund's ambush. She told her only she and her advisors knew about the tunnel, so it must have been one of them that betrayed her. Soma tasked Eivor with finding out who had betrayed her by finding clues and interrogating Birna, Galinn and Lif. [37] Master Acrobat/Climber: Having grown up in a heavily mountainous region of Norway and being a lifelong Sailor, Eivor was a skilled climber and freerunner, able to scale Saint Peter's Church as well as natural elements with relative ease. She then approached the settlement's longhouse, where jarl Harald hosted the assembly of the Norse clans. In the town tavern, she met Sigurd and Basim. Seeing that Gorm and the Wolf Clan were in the tavern, Sigurd explained to her that Harald had made a truce permitting the clans to be there. As Gorm and his clanmates left the place, Sigurd tasked Basim to keep Eivor in the tavern while he would see their father. [26] 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]

Afterwards, Eivor traveled to Walden, a town to the southeast of Grantebridgescire to meet Lif. He planned to sneak into the town and assassinate a priest who supported Wigmund. Eivor asked him how he joined Soma's clan—he had joined her as a part of the Great Summer Army. Lif wanted to be jarl after Guthrum left for Wessex, but Soma ended up becoming jarlskona instead. They succeeded in eliminating the priest, and Eivor left to aid Birna next. [39]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. 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.
