And the solar flare is reaching
To the calculator of futures we run[7]
History[edit | edit source]
The Saga Stone was shaped during the Isu Era, featuring a relief of the Yggdrasil device and carved with a password to Yggdrasil's chamber written in Isu script. At some point after the Great Catastrophe, it broke off from its mountings and was separated from the vault.[1] Millennia later, the Viking Ragnar Lothbrok found and claimed the Stone for himself,[3] but its existence and location were lost following his execution in King Ælla of Northumbria's snake pit around 865.[8]
Nearly a decade later, the Stone was retrieved by Maegester Fulke from the Wardens of Relics branch of the Order of the Ancients, who relocated it to Evinghou Tower under the care of an acolyte, Paul.[3] However, Fulke had little time to study it before being captured and imprisoned at Saint Albanes Abbey on charges of heresy for investigating the supposed existence of other gods, which ran counter to Christianity's doctrine of monotheism.[9]
After being rescued by the Raven Clan Vikings Eivor Varinsdottir and Sigurd Styrbjornsson and their Hidden One ally Basim ibn Ishaq,[9] Fulke led them to Evinghou Tower, only to discover that Paul had been killed and the Stone seized by the forces of Lady Eadwyn, Oxenefordscire's de facto ealdorman.[3] Fulke and her newfound allies subsequently sabotaged Eadwyn's supply lines,[10] and laid siege to Cyne Belle Castle, Eadwyn's stronghold. After defeating the castle garrison, the Vikings entered the fort and found the Saga Stone inside its vault.[4]
At that moment, however, Fulke betrayed the group, reclaiming the Stone for herself and taking both it and Sigurd to Cent following a prisoner exchange between the Raven Clan and King Alfred of Wessex.[4] At her sanctum beneath the Canterbury Cathedral, Fulke continued to study the Stone and also researched Sigurd's identity as the reborn form of the Norse god Týr. When she learned that Eivor and Basim were tracking her movements, Fulke abandoned her sanctum and relocated to the fortress of Portcestre in Suthsexe with Sigurd, leaving the Stone behind.[5]
Sigurd would later use the password written on the Stone to open the door to the Yggdrasil Chamber when he and Eivor journeyed to Hordafylke in 877.[6]
