	By the second half of the 10th century, an early incarnation of the Templar Order had established a presence in [[Scandinavia]]. Among their ranks was the King of [[Denmark]] and [[Norway]], [[Harald Bluetooth\|Harald "Bluetooth" Gormsson]], who was in possession of the Devotion Prong of the [[Trident of Eden]], which he had received as a gift from the [[Holy Roman Empire\|Holy Roman Emperor]] [[Otto I, Holy Roman Emperor\|Otto I]].<ref name="~~ACLD:FOTG~~">''[[Assassin's Creed: Last Descendants – Fate of the Gods]]''</ref>		By the second half of the 10th century, an early incarnation of the Templar Order had established a presence in [[Scandinavia]]. Among their ranks was the King of [[Denmark]] and [[Norway]], [[Harald Bluetooth\|Harald "Bluetooth" Gormsson]], who was in possession of the Devotion Prong of the [[Trident of Eden]], which he had received as a gift from Bishop [[Poppa]] and the [[Holy Roman Empire\|Holy Roman Emperor]] [[Otto I, Holy Roman Emperor\|Otto I]]. Modern Templars speculated that Harald had used the prong's powers of persuasion to unify Denmark under his rule.<ref name="Ch 7">''[[Assassin's Creed: Last Descendants – Fate of the Gods]]'' – Chapter Seven</ref>

	~~Seeking to spread the Templars' influence into Sweden~~, Harald ~~formed an alliance~~ with [[Styrbjörn the Strong]] ~~and invested himself in the conflict between the prince and~~ his uncle, King [[Eric the Victorious\|Eric]]~~, who was aided by~~ the [[~~Assassins~~\|~~Hidden Ones~~]]. ~~Harald lent his support to Styrbjörn~~'s ~~invasion~~ of ~~Sweden to overthrow Eric and~~ tried to use ~~his Prong~~ to ~~control~~ the prince, to ~~no avail~~. ~~Meanwhile~~, the ~~Hidden Ones caught wind~~ of ~~Harald's Templar affiliations~~, and ~~sent~~ [[~~Thorvald Hjaltason]] to dismantle the Order~~'s ~~influence in~~ the ~~conflict by eliminating their agents in Harald~~'~~s and Styrbjörn~~'~~s army.~~<ref ~~name="ACLD:FOTG" /~~>		Circa 985, Harald reluctantly allied with the Swedish prince [[Styrbjörn the Strong]], who sought to overthrow his uncle, King [[Eric the Victorious\|Eric]]. He married Styrbjörn's sister [[Gyrid of Sweden\|Gyrid]] and accompanied Styrbjörn's fleet on the voyage to [[Uppsala]] after the prince and his [[Jomsvikings\|Jomsviking]] allies defeated his army.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Last Descendants – Fate of the Gods]]'' – Chapter One</ref> With the Devotion Prong in his possession, Harald secretly tried to use its powers to influence Styrbjörn, but the prince was unaffected.<ref name="Ch 7"/> After explaining the prong's significance to Styrbjörn, Harald was forced to hand it over as a guarantee that he would not betray the prince. Despite this, while camping near Uppsala, Harald and his army retreated in the middle of the night, abandoning Styrbjörn and leaving the prong behind.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Last Descendants – Fate of the Gods]]'' – Chapter Thirteen</ref>

	~~After Styrbjörn took his Prong as a guarantee to prevent~~ the ~~Danish King from betraying him~~, ~~Harald decided to abandon~~ the ~~prince~~ and ~~fled with his Danish reinforcements ahead of Styrbjörn's decisive~~ [[~~Battle of Fýrisvellir\|battle~~]] ~~against~~ King Eric's forces. ~~As a result, Styrbjörn~~'s army ~~was ultimately~~ defeated, the ~~prince was killed~~, ~~and the Prong fell into the Hidden Ones' hands~~.<ref ~~name="ACLD~~:~~FOTG"~~ />		On the other side of the conflict, the [[Assassins\|Hidden Ones]] [[Torgny the Lawspeaker]] and [[Thorvald Hjaltason]], who were allied with King Eric, suspected that the Templars were using Styrbjörn to try and spread their influence to Sweden. Thorvald was thus tasked to help Eric's forces keep the invading army at bay and eliminate the Order agents within its ranks.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Last Descendants – Fate of the Gods]]'' – Chapter Four</ref> Styrbjörn and his army were eventually defeated at the decisive [[Battle of Fýrisvellir]], keeping Sweden free of Templar influence.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Last Descendants – Fate of the Gods]]'' – Chapter Twenty-Two</ref>
