| | In terms of narrative chronology, the events of the Jorvik arc take place after the events of Suthsexe. Nonetheless, Jorvik itself is available to pledge immediately after completing Lunden and reporting back to [[Hytham]]—despite the gap in region level—and Ljufvina is available as an ally in the Suthsexe arc. Her participation in these events is noted at the [[Holy Day|climax]] of the main story. |
