== Biography ==
Eivor met and befriended Sýnin in [[Norway]], at some point following the [[Vikings|Viking]]'s adoption by King [[Styrbjorn Sigvaldisson]] of the Raven Clan around 855.<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Valhalla'' – [[Prologue (Valhalla)|Prologue]]</ref> Ever since, the two have been inseparable, with Sýnin accompanying Eivor when she left Norway and settled in [[England]] in 873,<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Valhalla'' – [[The Seas of Fate]]</ref> as well as on her futher travels to [[Vinland]],<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Valhalla'' – [[In a Strange Land]]</ref> [[Ireland]],<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Valhalla – [[Wrath of the Druids]]''</ref> [[Francia]],<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Valhalla – [[The Siege of Paris]]''</ref> and the [[Isle of Skye]].<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Valhalla – [[Assassin's Creed Crossover Stories]]''</ref>
 
When Eivor decided to leave England for good and travel to Vinland to better understand her [[Reborn Isu|connection]] with Odin around 889, Sýnin did not seem to accompany her.<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Valhalla'' – [[The Last Chapter|''The Last Chapter'']] – [[Fare Thee Well, My Ravens|Fare Thee Well, My Ravens]]</ref> As such, it can be assumed that Sýnin had since passed away, especially given that the natural lifespan of a common raven is of about 10 to 15 years, although some individuals have been known to far surpass that.<ref name="Golden Eagle">{{WP|Common raven}}</ref>
 
== Skills ==
Sýnin shared a symbiotic relationship with her master who, with the ability of [[Eagle Vision]], could see the world through her eyes, greatly aiding Eivor in reconnaissance. Additionally, Sýnin could attack enemy [[Soldier|guards]] as a distraction for Eivor to sneak past them undetected.<ref name=":0" />
 
==Skins==
In 2020, while reliving Eivor's [[Genetic memory|genetic memories]] through the [[Animus|Portable Animus HR-8.5]], the [[Assassins|Assassin]] [[Layla Hassan]] [[Animus mod|modified]] the Animus interface to allow for a variety of skins to be applied to Sýnin:

Patience, brothers. Soon we will reveal the secrets of Assassin's Creed: Valhalla and The Forgotten Saga.

This article has been identified as being out of date. Please update the article to reflect recent releases and then remove this template once done.

Where are the paintings?

This article is in need of more images and/or better quality pictures from Assassin's Creed: Valhalla, The Forgotten Saga, Dawn of Ragnarök, and/or Assassin's Creed: Valhalla Helix Store items Dragon Knight Pack, Charlemagne Pack, Valkyrie Pack, Monster Hunter: World Pack, Berserker Pack, Huldufolk Pack, and Carolingian Dynasty Gear Pack in order to achieve a higher status. You can help the Assassin's Creed Wiki by uploading better images on this page.

Sýnin was a female[1][2] common raven that served as a loyal companion to the Raven Clan shieldmaiden Eivor Varinsdottir during the late 9th century.[3] She was named after Odin's familiar given to him by Baldr to replace Muninn.[4]

Biography[edit | edit source]

Eivor met and befriended Sýnin in Norway, at some point following the Viking's adoption by King Styrbjorn Sigvaldisson of the Raven Clan around 855.[5] Ever since, the two have been inseparable, with Sýnin accompanying Eivor when she left Norway and settled in England in 873,[6] as well as on her futher travels to Vinland,[7] Ireland,[8] Francia,[9] and the Isle of Skye.[10]

When Eivor decided to leave England for good and travel to Vinland to better understand her connection with Odin around 889, Sýnin did not seem to accompany her.[11] As such, it can be assumed that Sýnin had since passed away, especially given that the natural lifespan of a common raven is of about 10 to 15 years, although some individuals have been known to far surpass that.[12]

Skills[edit | edit source]

Sýnin shared a symbiotic relationship with her master who, with the ability of Eagle Vision, could see the world through her eyes, greatly aiding Eivor in reconnaissance. Additionally, Sýnin could attack enemy guards as a distraction for Eivor to sneak past them undetected.[3]

Skins[edit | edit source]

In 2020, while reliving Eivor's genetic memories through the Portable Animus HR-8.5, the Assassin Layla Hassan modified the Animus interface to allow for a variety of skins to be applied to Sýnin:
