The Vengeance of the Berserker was a virtual representation of one of Eivor Varinsdottir's genetic memories, relived by Layla Hassan in 2020 through the Portable Animus HR-8.5.
Description[edit | edit source]
Eivor accompanied Bjorn Bloodtooth to Beodoricsworth to avenge the berserkr's wife Alfhild.
Dialogue[edit | edit source]
Eivor and Bjorn charged towards Beodoricsworth to carry out their goal of vengeance.
- Bjorn: Njal will taste Mercian blood!
- Eivor: Show me what you can do, berserker!
- Bjorn: For Alfhild! Rawr! Yee-ahhh!
Eivor and Bjorn attacked Beodoricsworth, killing many soldiers to flush out the Mercian lord.
- Bjorn: Show yourself, cowards!
- Eivor: To me, Njal! Bjorn!
After much death, the lord showed himself.

- Bjorn: You killed her! My Alfhild! Why?
- Anglo-Saxon Soldier: I've always wanted to fight a berserker. And a white bear rug will make a fine trophy.
Eivor fought and killed the lord.
- Bjorn: It's done. Let's leave this blasted place.
Eivor left with Bjorn and Njal.
- Eivor: Bjorn! Your enemy has fallen. You have your revenge.
- Bjorn: Yes. But now I fear I must ask you one last thing, should you be willing.
- Eivor: What is it?
- Bjorn: Njal is tired. I will tend to her beneath the tree where this all began. Please, bring her some of her favorite flowers. They look like...
- Eivor: I know the ones. I'll gather them and meet you beneath the gallows tree.
Eivor made to leave and heard Bjorn talking to Njal.
- Bjorn: Stay strong, my child. Bjorn is here.
- Eivor: I saw some of Njal's favorite flowers growing behind the gallows tree.
Eivor rode to the flower field behind the gallows tree.
- Eivor: His wife's grave. No wonder he visits this tree often.
She collected some of the flowers near it.
- Eivor: Flowers for Njal. Now to meet Bjorn beneath the gallows tree.

She found a solemn Bjorn watching over a dead Njal.
- Bjorn: I brought her here. Where it began. Where it ends.
- Eivor: I understand.
She handed him the flowers.
- Bjorn: They hung my wife in this tree and buried her among its roots.
- Eivor: A grim and undeserved fate.
- Bjorn: We took Njal in as a cub, she and I. No children of our own. Now both are gone, yet I remain. Dear Njal. You were always at my side, for the better years of my life. Why must it end like this?
- Eivor: Njal sleeps at the All-Father's feet tonight.
- Bjorn: Yes. They let loyal hounds into the Hall of the Brave. So Njal too is there. With Alfhild.
- Eivor: The Nornir stitch our dooms and none may go against the thread.
- Bjorn: We are but single threads, and who knows what pattern they weave.

They prepared a funeral pyre for Njal and sent her off to Valhalla.
- Bjorn: Before, you asked if I would join your clan. I am ready.
- Eivor: Good. There will be a place for you on my longship and in my clan.
- Bjorn: I shall sing of Alfhild and Njal during our travels, sing of their deeds. And I will carry their names into battle.
- Eivor: When you are ready, follow the River Nene to my settlement. We shall welcome you as a brother.
- Bjorn: I will be the berserker of the Raven Clan.
Back in Ravensthorpe, Eivor greeted Bjorn, who had abandoned his original weapons and garb for the standard raiding equipment of the Raven Clan.
- Eivor: Welcome, Bjorn. May you find a new home here among the Raven Clan.
- Bjorn: I hope to. And I will start now.
Outcome[edit | edit source]
Eivor and Bjorn avenged Alfhild’s death, killing the Mercian lord who hung her, and gave Njal a proper funeral beneath the gallows tree. Bjorn subsequently joined the Raven Clan as a jomsviking.
