Dunwic, alternatively Dunwich,[1] was a fort in the southeast of East Anglia, England. It was located on the region's eastern shore, facing the North Sea. The largest part of the medieval village that once existed in the site has sunk into the sea, which continues to advance by one meter every year, leading to the nickname of English Atlantis.[1]
History[edit | edit source]
Middle Ages[edit | edit source]
The fortress was unknowingly constructed atop Odin's Vault, an ancient Isu temple that could only be found using Odin's Eye and opened with Freya's medallion.[2]
During the late 9th century, Vikings from Rued's clan controlled the fort, which they used to plan an attack on the nearby Anglo-Saxon town of Norwich in 873. After learning of this plan, the group consisting of Oswald, Eivor Varinsdottir, Finnr, Broder, Brothir and Valdis travelled to the fort to summon and face Rued and his clan. After Eivor cleared the fort of the Vikings, she and the group lit a fire brazier, awaiting Rued's arrival.[3]
At night, Oswald faced Rued in a duel which culminated in both of them falling off the edge of a platform to their apparent deaths. Afterwards, Oswald's group fought their way through Rued's men to escape from the fort.[3] Some time after these events, Eivor returned to the fort and recovered a nickel ingot from a chest and a Book of Knowledge.[4]
Several years later, Eivor and her associate Hildiran, having come into possession of both Odin's Eye and Freya's medallion, discovered the locked entrance to Odin's Vault underneath Dunwic. After opening the door using the medallion, they found an ancient beacon which had guided the Eye to it, as well as the armor of the Valkyrie Hildr, Hildiran's ancestor. The old woman promptly donned the armor and used the medallion to transport both herself and Eivor to Hugrheim, where she attempted to eliminate the Viking to achieve her family's ancestral revenge against Odin. After she failed, Hildiran conceded defeat and was able to reconcile with Eivor before they both left the vault and returned to Ravensthorpe.[2]
The site's decline into the sea began in the 13th century.[1]
Renaissance[edit | edit source]
During his latter years, Leonardo da Vinci, with the aid of Thomas More, selected this location as a haven, a secretive location conducive to the construction of an Assassin refugesmeant to train and initiate apprentices. Within a month of his death on 2 May 1519,[5] the Assassins managed to decipher the clues he left behind and uncovered the site.[6]
Legacy[edit | edit source]
Horror writer H. P. Lovecraft named one of his haunted villages after Dunwich, setting it in the US state of Massachusetts.[1]
