	Although Eivor can raid Donegal with her longship crew in advance of this memory, her dialogue with Flann and Ciara continues to convey a tone that it is her first time ever learning of this settlement and this memory's events mark her first trip to it, unlike [[Pilgrimage to St. Albanes~~\|some~~]] ~~of the~~ [[Honor Has Two Edges~~\|memories~~]] ~~in the main story~~, which will make brief references to locations that Eivor may or may not have raided beforehand.

	Under some circumstances, Bárid's actor may be loaded outside the kings' house, sometimes downed like an ally during a raid or assault, but cannot otherwise be interacted with.
