Stavanger (Runic: ᛋᛏᛅᚠᛅᚴᚱ) is a city and municipality in the Rogaland county of Norway.
History[edit | edit source]
During the 9th century, Stavanger was home to the Raven Clan, led by King Styrbjorn Sigvaldisson. In 870, the jarl's adoptive daughter Eivor Varinsdottir, along with her fellow clan-mates Dag Nithisson and Tora Auzoux, returned to the city after thwarting one of the Wolf Clan's raids, bringing with them a prisoner, Kjotve's thrall Gull. Although Eivor hoped to present Gull to her father as tribute, Styrbjorn realized the thrall would be missed and chastised Eivor for bringing destruction and death to Stavanger.[1]
Later, while Eivor was away from Stavanger on a quest to recover a treasure Gull had told her about, the Wolf Clan attacked the city, slaughtering many residents, including Tora. Although Eivor returned in time to save her father and remaining clan-mates,[2] the Raven Clan ultimately lost Stavanger to Kjotve and his men and were forced to retreat to Fornburg.[3] The Wolf Clan would subsequently maintain control of Stavanger until their defeat and dissolution in 872.[4]
At some point in the 870s, Eivor returned to Stavanger, where she reunited with her old friend Rolf and helped him choose a commander for his raiding crew.[5] She also encountered Sulke, a merchant selling goods looted from the remains of Heillboer, Eivor's hometown, and dealt with him.[6]
