Having only recently sided with Styrbjörn, claimant to the [[Sweden\|Swedish]] throne, Gorm was opposed to the prince's decision to burn their own fleet and revealed that many fellow Jomsvikings were similarly doubtful of their allegiance to Styrbjörn. When confronted by the prince, Gorm refuted that his loyalty was to Palnatoke, not Styrbjörn. The argument eventually died out, and Styrbjörn dismissed Gorm's opinions as he witnessed the arrival of the [[shieldmaiden]] [[Thyra Haraldsdottir]].<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Last Descendants – Fate of the Gods]]'' – Chapter 16</ref>

	~~Some time~~ later, after an encounter that left his commander Palnatoke dead, Gorm commented on Styrbjörn's recently acquired ornate dagger said to be a holy relic from the recently retreated [[Harald Bluetooth]], insisting that he destroy or discard it. Gorm was then harshly reprimanded by Styrbjörn~~, though Gorm and~~ the other Jomsvikings ~~pushed back. Unwilling~~ to ~~fight~~ for ~~him, something Styrbjörn himself knew~~. They talked of honor and fighting for ~~Styrbjörn in the name of~~ what Palnatoke stood for. After hearing strong words from Thyra, now Styrbjörn's betrothed, they came to an agreement, Gorm and the Jomsvikings ~~allied themselves~~ with Styrbjörn~~, though~~ would not fight for him, only for vengeance.<ref name="FotG Ch19">''[[Assassin's Creed: Last Descendants – Fate of the Gods]]'' – Chapter 19</ref>		Sometime later, after an encounter that left his commander Palnatoke dead, Gorm commented on Styrbjörn's recently acquired ornate [[Short blade\|dagger]] said to be a holy [[Trident of Eden\|relic]] from the recently retreated [[Harald Bluetooth]], insisting that he destroy or discard it. Gorm was then harshly reprimanded by Styrbjörn but pushed back alongside the other Jomsvikings, all of whom were unwilling to continue fighting for the prince. They talked of honor and fighting for what Palnatoke had stood for. After hearing strong words from Thyra, now Styrbjörn's betrothed, they came to an agreement; Gorm and the Jomsvikings would maintain their alliance with Styrbjörn but would not fight for him, only for vengeance.<ref name="FotG Ch19">''[[Assassin's Creed: Last Descendants – Fate of the Gods]]'' – Chapter 19</ref>

Gorm with his Jomsvikings stood their ground in a fierce battle, successfully holding their shield walls until evening fell and Eric's army withdrew.
