			It is technically possible to ignore this memory for the entire main story by simply ignoring Valka at the docks. This will cause some of her dialogue [[Kingdom's End\|towards the end]] of the main story to be skipped, however many other late game events will assume she has arrived and her accommodations built, as the Seer's Hut is an essential waypoint into [[Havi]]'s story arcs, especially those in the ''[[Dawn of Ragnarök]]'' expansion. Furthermore, if Eivor has [[A Brother's Keeper\|learned Svala's fate]], the dialogue will still ask Valka what became of her. Thus, the narrative assumes that this memory is completed relatively early in the game.
