The '''Assault on Magnis Fortress''' was an assault in 876 undertook by Northumbrian warriors loyal to ''[[jarl]]'' [[Halfdan Ragnarsson]] and led by Viking generals [[Faravid]], [[Ljufvina Bjarmarsdottir]] and ally and [[shieldmaiden]] [[Eivor Varinsdottir]] of the [[Raven Clan]] against the invading [[Picts]], secretly allied with the King [[Ricsige of Northumbria]].

==Preparations==
After forging an order from Halfdan with the help of [[York|Jorvik]] council member [[Hjorr Halfsson]], Eivor and Faravid convinced King Ricsige raise a fyrd to join Halfdan's forces.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Valhalla]]'' – [[This Son of Jorvik]]</ref> Soon, both Eivor and Faravid met with Ljufvina outside of the fortress, but were joined by and confronted by Halfdan, who debated Faravid's allegiance. Quickly, Ljufivina readied them to fight while Eivor and Halfdan met with the Pict leaders to discuss an alternative peaceful solution. However, they all soon witnessed King Ricsige and his fyrd siding with the Picts within the fortress, which enraged Halfdan to initiate the assault.<ref name="HonorHubris">''[[Assassin's Creed: Valhalla]]'' – [[Honor's Hubris]]</ref>

==Aftermath==
At [[Royal Hall]], Halfdan accepted the responsiblity of becoming the new King of Northumbria but showcases his illness at end of his speech. From further inspection, Eivor and healer [[Moira]] saw Halfdan's goblet being made of [[lead]], a poisonous metal, while it was determined that Faravid was poisoning Halfdan for years with lead goblets. After Halfdan accused Faravid of treachery, Eivor ultimately decided on Faravid's fate. After this revelation was resolved, Eivor garnered an alliance with Halfdan for [[Ravensthorpe]].<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Valhalla]]'' – [[Of Blood and Bonds]]</ref>
