'''The False Ealdormancy''' was a virtual representation of one of [[Eivor Varinsdottir]]'s [[Genetic memory|genetic memories]], relived by [[Layla Hassan]] through the [[Animus|Portable Animus HR-8.5]].<ref name="ACV">''[[Assassin's Creed: Valhalla]]''</ref>

==Description==
[[Eivor Varinsdottir|Eivor]] came across a [[Roderick|man]] being mistakenly abducted by an [[Mercia]]n soldier while on her way to [[Salve for a Fresh Wound|search]] for [[Hunwald]] at [[Ealdorman's Overlook]].

==Dialogue==
While traveling in [[Lincolnshire|Lincolnscire]], Eivor departed the city of [[Lincoln]] and followed the road north to a [[Ealdorman's Overlook|tall old tree]] in the distance. At an intersection, she encountered a Anglo-Saxon soldier with a another Anglo-Saxon man tied up on his [[horse]]. The soldier rode along the road with her.
*'''Anglo-Saxon Man:''' ''You have the wrong man! I've never heard of a Hunwald. I can't even properly say the name! Is it Hunwald or Honwald?''
The soldier ignored him, and his captive went on pleading.
*'''Anglo-Saxon Man:''' ''Please! This is a mistake. I've told you, my name is not Hunwald. It's [[Roderick]]!''
*'''Anglo-Saxon Soldier:''' ''And I've told you... to shut your flappers!''
The captive cried for help.
*'''Anglo-Saxon Man:''' ''Someone help! They mean to hang me for something I did not do!''
Eivor shot the soldier off his horse with her [[bow]]. The soldier got up from the ground to confront his assailant, brandishing his flail.
*'''Anglo-Saxon Soldier:''' ''They said a Dane would likely follow close by, and lo and behold.''
The soldier tried to fight off Eivor.
*'''Anglo-Saxon Soldier:''' ''Begone! This prisoner comes with me!''
The two continued to trade blows.
*'''Anglo-Saxon Soldier:''' ''What concern is this to you, heathen?''
*'''Eivor:''' ''That is not Hunwald.''
*'''Anglo-Saxon Soldier:''' ''Why don't you let us decide?''
Eivor killed the soldier and went after the horse carrying the prisoner.
*'''Anglo-Saxon Man:''' ''Help me down.''
Eivor drew near the horse.
*'''Anglo-Saxon Man:''' ''Get me off this thing!''
Eivor removed him from the horse's rear.
*'''Anglo-Saxon Man:''' ''Untie me, quickly!''
Eivor unbound the prisoner's ropes.

|-|Hunwald met=
*'''Eivor:''' ''Seems there's a bounty out on Hunwald.''
*'''Anglo-Saxon Man:''' ''He's ruffled some feathers, that much is clear. You know him?''
*'''Eivor:''' ''I do.''
*'''Anglo-Saxon Man:''' ''Then the Lord truly is watching over me.''
*'''Eivor:''' ''Right place, right time.''
|-|Lincolnscire arc not started=
Eivor let the man go, knowing nothing about the person for whom he was mistaken.
|-|Holy Day completed=
*'''Eivor:''' ''The next time someone mistakes you for Hunwald, tell them Hunwald is dead. He died in the battle of [[Chippenham]].''
*'''Anglo-Saxon Man:''' ''Poor man. He must have ruffled some feathers to warrant all this heat.''
*'''Eivor:''' ''He could be a real pest, but was gentle and well-meaning.''
*'''Anglo-Saxon Man:''' ''Sounds like you were fond of him. My sympathies.''
</tabber>
*'''Anglo-Saxon Man:''' ''Thanks for saving my neck, stranger. I pray I can return the favor someday.''

==Outcome==
Eivor killed the Mercian soldier and rescued the falsely accused man Roderick.

==Behind the scenes==
When the player travels to the world event's map marker, the Anglo-Saxon soldier with the kidnapped Roderick will spawn on a separate road merging into the road leading from Lincoln. Roderick will endlessly cycle between his three lines until the player intervenes. In addition, the soldier has no real destination. Until attacked, he is scripted to make endless and randomized rounds along the roads in the area, even making u-turns at intersections.

Completing the Lincolnscire arc has no bearing on this event or its dialogue. The bounty on Hunwald that led to Roderick's detainment apparently remains in force for the remainder of the game, even if the player votes for Hunwald to become Lincolnscire's new [[ealdorman]] during the events of [[Where the Stone Falls]].
