If she awoke again, it was in the hut rather than her own bed.

			Eivor journeyed as [[Pride of the Aesir\|far into]] the dream as her emotions would allow. She lost the dream and awoke in Valka's hut, awash in anguish.
			*'''Eivor:''' ''Aaah!''
			Valka ran from her table to Eivor's side.
			*'''Valka:''' ''What is it? What did you see?''
			*'''Eivor:''' ''All my struggles mattered nothing in the end. My son was lost before I began, his premonition come to pass.''
			*'''Valka:''' ''Your son?''
			*'''Eivor:''' ''Baldr! [[Odin\|Havi]]'s son. You know what I mean!''
			*'''Valka:''' ''So Baldr met his fate, as was foretold. Ever you have sought to elude the looms of the [[Nornir]], but we are all caught in their weave.''
			*'''Eivor:''' ''No, I will not believe it. There is more to see yet. Why was I thrown from my dream?''
			*'''Valka:''' ''Perhaps it was not the vision that rejected you, but you who rejected the vision. Perhaps you are afraid of it.''
			*'''Eivor:''' ''I fear nothing!''
			*'''Valka:''' ''I think you do. And until you recognize that fear, give in to it, embrace it... the vision will not return. Some walls cannot be overcome by potions alone.''
			*'''Eivor:''' ''Tell me what I must do. This saga does not end here. It cannot!''
			*'''Valka:''' ''Meet me in the forest when darkness lays upon the land. There we shall see how fearless you truly are.''
			Eivor made her way the woods Valka mentioned to move [[Beyond Fear\|beyond her fear]] and return to the dream.

			Eivor successfully saw through to the [[The Reckoning\|end]] of her dreams. Having fully grasped the saga of her [[Isu incarnation\|past life]], she perched atop the longhouse and watched over the residents as [[Sýnin]] soared over Ravensthorpe, her resolve renewed.
			*'''Eivor:''' ''The wolf is coming, brothers and sisters. It finds us all in the end, no matter how we hide. In its jaws is an end or a beginning, and we will never know which till that last black bite. Should we lay down for it, then? Bare our throats to its teeth? Or fight with every sinew in our bodies to hold it away, knowing always that our strength must fail, and the wolf will take us? I know only this. Each day is a gift from the dead to the living. Each smile brought by another's tears. And when the wolf runs free, all we will have are those we fought to keep. So I will keep you, my people. I will fight the wolf for every inch of this land, till the hour he claims me. I will buy you your days of love and laughter. Use them well.''

	This memory acts as the "container" for all of Eivor's journeys into the chapters of the ''Dawn of Ragnarok'' DLC, presented as the memories of the [[Isu]] [[Odin]] during his time in the realm of Svartálfaheimr and reinterpreted through the [[Norse mythology]] of her upbringing. In other words, it functions in the same way that [[In Dreams...]], [[Going Deeper...]], [[Bound to Fate]], and [[A Gift from the Otherworld]] serve as waypoints into the realms of [[Ásgarðr]], [[Jötunheimr]], and [[~~Helheimr~~]] for their respective arcs of Havi's saga.

	If the player installs the DLC and loads a file where Eivor is already in Ravensthorpe, the first line of dialogue introducing the DLC is skipped completely, as the scripting for the memory assumes the player is elsewhere in the world at the time of install. This differs from ''[[Wrath of the Druids]]'' and ''[[The Siege of Paris]]'', which do not trigger any of their startup sequences until Eivor is physically in Ravensthorpe.

			Upon waking up after the events of [[Pride of the Aesir]], it will not be possible to return to Svartalfheim at all until [[Beyond Fear]] is completed. While this normally a relatively short interlude, it is heavily implied that this is the point in the game narrative where ''[[The Forgotten Saga]]'' and the events outlined in "A Gift from the Otherworld" transpire; Eivor taking a break before confronting her [[wolf\|deepest fear]] lines up with the point in Havi's saga where he left Svartalfheim for a time and went to Niflheim. However, players who wish to finish out the expansion's content should complete "Beyond Fear" in short order, if only to re-enable travel to the realm.
