| | *'''Sigurd:''' ''May we endure this pain until our hearts guide us back to each other again.'' |
| | *'''Eivor:''' ''Farewell, brother.'' |
| | Having made peace with Sigurd, Eivor sailed back to England. |

| | ==Behind the scenes== |
| | Although this memory plays out entirely in the form of a cutscene, it has the same effects on Ravensthorpe as '[[Of All That Has Passed...]]' and [[The Forge and the Flame|similar]] memories that place Ravensthorpe in a different "state" from its default. Upon exiting this state and returning to normal, any incomplete Ravensthorpe memories such as '[[A Distorted Dream]]' will reset and re-add to the quest log, with Eivor's dialogue to initiate those memories replaying. |
