==Aftermath==
A day after the assault, Eivor and Basim went to the priory, only to find it quiet. Entering the abbot's quarters, they met Fulke sitting besides the dead abbot. Soon, Fulke trapped and left them to burn alive and escaped to [[Canterbury]]. However, Basim and Eivor escaped and gave chase, only to miss Fulke and Sigurd. There, they found Sigurd's dismembered arm and evidence of him and Fulke being at [[Portcestre]]. While Eivor left for her settlement, Basim went to investigate the matters in [[Sussex|Suthsexe]].<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Valhalla]]'' – [[A Bloody Welcome]]</ref>
