The Ballad of Kraka and Skavi was a virtual representation of one of Eivor Varinsdottir's genetic memories, relived by Basim ibn Ishaq in 2020 through the Portable Animus HR-8.5, in which a vision of one of Odin's memories could be seen.
Description[edit | edit source]
Havi found the dwarven blacksmith of Jordeygr Shelter atop a mountain in Svaladal.
Dialogue[edit | edit source]
Havi found a campsite atop a mountain and heard a dwarf talking to himself.
- Skavi: Kraka! Kraka! Where did you get to, you stupid bird?
What's happened to you up there...?
I knew you weren't ready. Probably got yourself hurt again.
Maybe I can get up there myself, somehow...?
Havi spoke with the dwarf.
- Havi: What ails you? Have you lost someone out here?
- Skavi: In a manner of speaking. I'm waiting for someone to return from an errand. You... probably wouldn't believe me if I told you.
- Havi: There is little I wouldn't believe. Speak, while you have my ear.
- Skavi: I have a crow, Kraka. Found him, injured, back when the invasion started. I nursed him to health, and he chose to stay with me. We share a bond. I swear, it's like he scouts the land, and I can understand what he sees. Have you ever known a such a thing?
- Havi: It sounds most familiar. So your crow is lost. Out here?
- Skavi: Not out here. Up there on that damn lump of rock in the sky. Reckon there's something good, something really valuable up there. So I sent Kraka to see what he could find. He's got a talent for finding treasure, y'see. So up he went. And that was the last I saw of him.
- Havi: Then I shall keep an eye out for your Kraka.
- Skavi: Unless you can sprout wings of your own, I don't see how.
- Havi: I am full of surprises, dwarf.
Looking at the Muspel monolith above, Havi used the Hugr-Rip to activate the Power of the Raven. Havi flew to the monolith and saw a jötunn captured by Muspels. Havi landing on the monolith and fought them, and the jötunn talked to his would-be rescuer.
- Kraka: Seems I'm not the only shapeshifter on this rock. Kill these bastards, so that we may both spread our wings again, eh?
Havi killed all the Muspels and freed the jötunn.
- Havi: Enjoying Muspel hospitality, I see.
- Kraka: They caught me before I could steal what I came for, for my master. The dwarf below. 'Kraka', he calls me. Long ago, I invaded this land. The dwarves fought back. Wounded, I changed form, hid as a crow, before the dwarves could finish me. Believing me to be a mere bird, Skavi found me. Took me in. Saw that I was healed to full strength.
- Havi: Never knowing your true nature?
- Kraka: I doubt he'd welcome the news. No matter... The treasure on this rock, I must retrieve it for my master. I owe him my life. Would you aid me? I cannot offer anything in return, but Skavi, I'm sure he could.
- Havi: Saved you the bother. I already have it.
- Kraka: All I ask is you give it to Skavi. Please.
- Havi: You'll not give it to him yourself?
- Kraka: I have burdened him enough. I'll not burden him with the knowledge that he helped his enemy. He deserves better than that.
- Havi: Very well. Good luck to you, Kraka.
- Kraka: And to you.
Kraka shapeshifted into a raven and flew away.
Havi searched the ledge overlooking the monolith grounds and found an ember of Muspelheim.
- Havi: This looks worthy of my attention...
With the treasure in hand, Havi used the Power of the Raven and flew back down to Skavi, speaking with him once more.
- Skavi: Well...? Don't keep in suspense, Æsir.
- Havi: Here. I have something for you.
- Skavi: You... do? What is...? It cannot be. How did you−
Havi handed the ember of Muspelheim to Skavi.
- Havi: As I said, I am full of surprises.
- Havi: Indeed. And Kraka, my crow. Did you see him?
- Havi: Aye, I found Kraka. He... has chosen his own path.
- Skavi: You speak as though he told you himself... What? Out with it.
- Havi: Kraka... is a Jotun. He sought to bring you this treasure, as thanks for saving his life.
- Skavi: A Jotun? A... shapeshifter. He understood my every word. The things I confided...
- Havi: He said he burdened you enough.
- Skavi: Well that wasn't his choice to make! He... he should have... (sigh)
- Havi: I found Kraka. He... he helped me find the treasure. But he has chosen his own path. Flew south, unharmed.
- Skavi: I see. Well, safe travels, friend... (sigh)
- Havi: No, I didn't see your crow. All I saw were Muspels and a Jotun they'd captured.
- Skavi: I thought Muspels and Jotnar were allies. Well, they can all rot for all I care. Especially if they dared lay a hand on my Kraka. (sigh)
Skavi took note of Havi's Hugr-Rip.
- Skavi: That bracer of yours. That's how you got up there?
- Havi: What of it?
- Skavi: I can enhance it, should you wish, as thanks.
- Havi: Enhance it how?
- Skavi: Meet me at my forge and I'll show you how. Of course, same could be said of any smith worth his or her salt. And these rocks in the sky? If you find any more treasures on them, bring 'em to me and I'll see what I can do.
- Havi: Very well. I'll meet you at the shelter.
Havi took his leave.
Outcome[edit | edit source]
Havi gave Skavi the treasure Kraka was looking for from the floating Muspel monolith.
Behind the scenes[edit | edit source]
If players skip the initial dialogue with Skavi and fly straight to the monolith, the rest of the memory's dialogue proceeds as written; Skavi will speak to Havi as though it is their second conversation under all circumstances. However, the player must collect the Ember of Muspelheim before flying back down to complete the memory.
