	Additionally, interrupting this arc by returning to Ravensthorpe and pledging to, then completing a different arc—even those not required for the main story and if only to properly conclude the Lincolnscire arc—will not retroactively bring those unlocked allies into this memory.		Additionally, interrupting this arc by returning to Ravensthorpe and pledging to, then completing a different arc—even those not required for the main story and if only to properly conclude the Lincolnscire arc—will not retroactively bring those unlocked allies into this memory.

			After completing the pledge to Essexe, it is possible to return to [[Colchester\|Colcestre]] and engage in [[floating conversations]] with Birstan, Alfida, and Eluric, even encouraging the latter to return home. However, Birstan's dialogue at the forward camp does not change to reflect this as it does in the floating conversation at the [[Ealdorman's House]]. This is either an oversight or an indication that the post-arc floating conversations take place at a later point in the narrative.

	Although it is possible for Vili Hemmingson to appear in this memory if the [[Nottinghamshire\|Snotinghamscire]] arc has been completed, that arc chronologically takes place in January 876 CE, whereas Eivor's rescue of Sigurd took place in 875 CE. Similarly, the [[York\|Jorvik]] arc that yields Ljufvina Bjarmasdottir as an ally also takes place after Sigurd's rescue, making their appearances non-canon from a narrative perspective. It is likely that these arcs were developed and intended to take place much earlier in the story—and their unlock conditions and some dialogue within those arcs implies that to be the case—only for them to be pushed further back in the final production, with the local enemy levels and loot grades raised accordingly to reflect "late-game" locations.

	==~~Trivia~~==		==Behind the scenes==
	*Which allies show up depends on what story arcs ~~were~~ completed ~~before~~ this ~~memory~~.		All main story arcs, besides the pledges to [[Gloucestershire\|Glowecesterscire]] and [[Yorkshire\|Eurvicscire]]—which have the Suthsexe arc as a pre-requisite—that are not otherwise pre-requisities to the Suthsexe arc can be completed prior to it, with all but the pledge to [[Winchester\|Wincestre]] yielding an ally who will participate in this battle. However, if the [[Where the Stone Falls\|final vote]] in the [[Lincolnshire\|Lincolnscire]] arc results in Bishop [[Herefrith]] becoming ealdorman, the Lincolnscire arc ends prematurely. Completing any other story arc would then "restart" the Lincoln arc to converge towards a proper conclusion. However, beginning the Suthsexe arc immediately after—thus avoiding this tangent and technically retaining Herefrith as ealdorman during this time—will result in Hunwald not being present at all as Lincoln's representative ally. It is unknown if this is a development oversight or an intentional narrative clue that Herefrith is not a reliable ally, but it is likely for players to come across this scenario in natural gameplay, as Lincolnscire is one of two optional arcs to unlock between [[Kent\|Cent]] and Suthsexe.
	*Although the ~~appearence of~~ the '~~'jarl''~~ of ~~Snotinghamscire~~ is possible in this memory if ~~their~~ arc has been completed, chronologically ~~the arc~~ takes place in January 876 CE ~~whilst~~ Eivor's rescue of Sigurd took place in 875 CE, ~~being potentially~~ non-canon.
			Additionally, interrupting this arc by returning to Ravensthorpe and pledging to, then completing a different arc—even those not required for the main story and if only to properly conclude the Lincolnscire arc—will not retroactively bring those unlocked allies into this memory.

			Although it is possible for Vili Hemmingson to appear in this memory if the [[Nottinghamshire\|Snotinghamscire]] arc has been completed, that arc chronologically takes place in January 876 CE, whereas Eivor's rescue of Sigurd took place in 875 CE.
