Cursed Church

The Cursed Church was an abandoned church on the Isle of Skye that was inflicted by a plague of nightmares in the 9th century.

History[edit | edit source]

In the 9th century, the Viking shieldmaiden Eivor Varinsdottir investigated the Cursed Church after receiving information from a woman in Kiltaraglen. Upon her arrival, Eivor noticed a mist fogging her view and piles of dead villagers in the church's graveyard. With a closer look, Eivor saw a mysterious woman near the bodies and believed Valka's vision was right,[1] that Randvi had journeyed to Scotland and was somehow involved with the nightmares.[2] However, the woman happened to be the Spartan mercenary Kassandra.[1]

Kassandra readied a axe and asked for Eivor's identity, though the shieldmaiden simply answered that she was Kassandra's opponent while grabbing an axe herself, then charged ahead. After a fierce yet brief duel that ended with both axes shattered and the women in a stalemate holding their Hidden Blades at each other, Eivor and Kassandra agreed to talk and revealed their own ties to the Hidden Ones. Kassandra revealed that she was in search of the artifact causing the nightmares while Eivor relayed her wish to stop the nightmares. Seeing their goals aligned, Kassandra and Eivor agreed to work together, though Eivor did so begrudgingly.[1]

Their first task was to remove the cursed fog inflicting the church and blocking Kassandra's ability to track the artifact. Both warriors headed towards the church and forcibly opened the door. From their inspection, they found their way to its underground crypt and discovered a cursed symbol. Destroying it, Eivor lifted the curse before both warriors left the premises.[1]
