	On 31 October 856, [[ealdorman]] [[Simkin]] and his fellow constituents of [[Gloucestershire\|Glowecestrescire]] celebrated the Samhain festival in [[Gloucester\|Glowecestre]] and prepared the Wicker-Man, for it was Simkin's duty to burn within it as an offering for a surplus of crops.

	Meanwhile, Eivor played the part as the [[Mari Lwyd]], set up by Gunnar and Brigid, as a way of wearing a disguise to receive treats from the community. Yet, her fun was cut short once she saw Gunnar contesting with a local man, who insulted the Vikings' presenses. After a brawl between the Vikings and the local man, Gunnar was medically treated by Modron as Eivor joined Cynon, Tewdwr, and a "monk" named [[Gwilim]] in the town square. There, Eivor tried to loosen Tewdwr up and joined in on their drinking challenge. During their challenge, Cynon, with the help of the [[bandit]] Gwilim, drugged both Tewdwr and Eivor's drinks as they staged Tewdwr's house by killing his guards and leaving Eivor alone in the house. Meanwhile, Eivor and Tewdwr became drunk during the night, fooled around across the town, and made their way back to Tewdwr's home before passing out.<ref name="TFNS"/>		Meanwhile, Eivor played the part as the [[Mari Lwyd]], set up by Gunnar and Brigid, as a way of wearing a disguise to receive treats from the community.

However, when Eivor left to seek Cynon, Modron carried Tewdwr back to her hideout in [[Ochre Caves]].<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Valhalla'' — [[The ~~Stolen King~~]]</ref> ~~Yet~~, Modron's plan was ~~thwarted~~ by Eivor~~, who saved~~ Tewdwr ~~from~~ Modron's ~~sacrificial~~ ritual.<ref>~~''Assassin's Creed: Valhalla'' — [[The Gutted Lamb]]~~</~~ref~~> ~~After~~ the ~~last event of~~ the burning of the Wicker-Man, Eivor thus gained an ally in Glowecestrescire with Tewdwr.<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Valhalla'' — [[The Burning of the Wicker Man]]</ref>		Meanwhile, Eivor played the part as the [[Mari Lwyd]], set up by Gunnar and Brigid, as a way of wearing a disguise to receive treats from the community. Yet, her fun was cut short once she saw Gunnar contesting with a local man, who insulted the Vikings' presenses. After a brawl between the Vikings and the local man, Gunnar was medically treated by Modron as Eivor joined Cynon, Tewdwr, and a "monk" named [[Gwilim]] in the town square. There, Eivor tried to loosen Tewdwr up and joined in on their drinking challenge. During their challenge, Cynon, with the help of the [[bandit]] Gwilim, drugged both Tewdwr and Eivor's drinks as they staged Tewdwr's house by killing his guards and leaving Eivor alone in the house. Meanwhile, Eivor and Tewdwr became drunk during the night, fooled around across the town, and made their way back to Tewdwr's home before passing out.<ref name="TFNS"/>

			While passed out, Cynon ordered Gwilim to take Tewdwr to [[Thieves' Warren]] to be killed but once there, Gwilim and his bandits liked him and kept him alive.<ref name="TSK">''Assassin's Creed: Valhalla'' — [[The Stolen King]]</ref> The next morning, she woke up alone in Tewdwr's house and discovered Tewdwr's men slain and Gwilim's pouch.<ref name="TFNS"/> When she left the house, Eivor was accused by Cynon of killing Tewdwr, due to his body being gone, and was labeled an enemy. While the festival still played out, Eivor escaped from Cynon and his men and then met with Modron. Realizing she needed a distraction, she aided Eivor and sent to seek out a druid named [[Halewyn]] about the herbs in Gwilim's pouch.<ref name="CR">''Assassin's Creed: Valhalla'' — [[Clues and Riddles]]</ref>

			Modron kept a close eye on Eivor and aided her while secretly planning out her next steps. When she discovered who ordered the concoction in Gwilim's pouch and where it was delivered, Eivor traveled to Thieves' Warren and found Tewdwr alive, next to Gwilim. Gwilim explained that Tewdwr was supposed to die by Cynon's instructions but he was very likeable among the bandits and thus lived. However, Tewdwr was still ill from being drugged and lost consciousness again. When Eivor carried Tewdwr out, Tewdwr woke up in a gaze and told her about the errors of his ways. He also promised to keep the peace between both Christians and pagans. Waiting for her, Modron helped Eivor with Tewdwr while she casted blame on Cynon.<ref name="TSK"/> However, when Eivor left to seek out Cynon, Modron carried Tewdwr back to her hideout in [[Ochre Caves]] and finally planned to end Tewdwr by performing a sacrificial ritual.<ref name="TGL">''Assassin's Creed: Valhalla'' — [[The Gutted Lamb]]</ref>

			Once Eivor found out Cynon was preparing himself within the [[St. Kenhelm's Church]], she confronted the ealdorman, who revealed that it was all Modron's plan and their daughter was Gwenydd, who, like others, were going to be cast out by Tewdwr's new direction. However, Eivor revealed Tewdwr's change of heart and thus Cynon revealed Modron's ritual and location to Eivor. After deciding Cynon's fate,<ref name="ALB"/> Eivor traveled to the Ochre Caves, maneuvered through the cavern, and found Modron about to sacrifice Tewdwr. Immediately engaging Modron in combat, Eivor bested the priestess and decided her fate. Afterwards, she rescued Tewdwr and escorted him back to Glowecestre.<ref name="TGL"/>

			In Glowecestre, Eivor, Tewdwr, and the other constituents took part in the burning of the Wicker-Man to finally end the festival. Eivor thus gained an ally in Glowecestrescire with Tewdwr.<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Valhalla'' — [[The Burning of the Wicker Man]]</ref>
