History[edit | edit source]

In 873, Wigmund instructed the garrison at Utbech not to attack a longship painted yellow, as it belonged to their Viking agent Galinn, who betrayed his jarlskona Soma and the Great Summer Army under her command by granting the Saxons access to Grantebridge to drive out the Vikings. Grantebridge was soon retaken by the Vikings and Eivor Varinsdottir, one of Soma's allies who visited Utbech to help find the traitor after discovering Wigmund's note to the soldiers.[1] Around the same time, Eivor also tracked down and eliminate the Order member Leofgifu on behalf of the Hidden One Hytham.[2]
