Reaver of the South was a virtual representation of one of Eivor Varinsdottir's genetic memories, relived by Layla Hassan through the Portable Animus HR-8.5.

Description

Eivor met with Basim, Jarl Guthrum and her allies to attack Portcestre.

Dialogue

Eivor talked to Randvi about pledging to Suthsexe.

• Eivor: My mind is fixed on Suthsexe. Basim and I have a chance to save Sigurd. But we will need an army.
• Randvi: That is for you to decide. The more alliances you have, the better your chances at victory.

Eivor pledged to Essexe.

• Eivor: I will go now. And I will bring Sigurd back with me. That is a promise.
• Randvi: Good. I will send word to our allies at once. Meet with Basim when you can. He should be in Croindene by now.

Eivor made her way to Croindene, where she overheard the voices of some familiar friends.

Jorvik not completed.Jorvik is completed.

• Broder: Is Lunden as dark and grubby as they say?
• Erke: Not since it almost burned to the ground. All those charred roof timbers really let in the light.
• Brothir: I heard about that. The whole waterfront up in flames.
• Stowe: With all that aside, we are making great strides to improve the lives of it's people.

• Broder: If Eivor does not show soon, I am packing and riding home.
• Ljufvina: Shut your blowhole, Broder. You want me to tell Halfdan how easily you break an oath?
• Brothir: Ah, Brother! Did you forget she has Halfdan Jarl's ear? Stop talking if you know what's good for you.

Eivor entered longhouse and spoke to Brothir and Broder.

• Brothir: Eivor, you giant steaming bowl of elk piss! King Oswald sends his regards.
• Eivor: Brothir, Broder. Or is it the other way around?

Eivor slept with Broder.Eivor did not sleep with Broder.

• Broder: Gods, you're a sight to stir a weary heart.
• Brothir: It is not his heart that's stirring...

• Broder: It's, ah...good to see you Eivor.
• Brothir: O, stop mewing like a heartstruck kitten! He's been moping since the wedding.

• Eivor: There will be time later to reminisce. Are you madmen ready to spill some blood?
• Brothir: After that bastard Rued, some nice soft Saxonx will make easy meat for my blade.

Eivor spoke with Stowe and Erke.

• Stowe: Eivor! My second favorite Norse!
• Eivor: Must we always drift together on such violent tides?
• Stowe: That is the way of things. Yet the meeting of friends is a glimmer of light in these dark days.
• Eivor: Ever the optimist, Stowe. It is good to see you both.
• Erke: I brought no pleasant words, only my blade. Let's see which proves more useful.

If Jorvik was completed, Eivor could speak to Ljufvina.

• Eivor: Ljufvina! once again we will battle side-by-side!
• 'Ljufvina: Greeting from the North, old friend.
• Eivor: And how is Hjorr?
• Ljufvina: Still griping about the mess we made of Jorvik's council. But grateful for the help. To be honest, I think he's upset he didn't see the problem sooner. His pride is slow to heal.
• Eivor: Thank you for heeding my call, friend. Sigurd will be grateful when he hears you have come.
• Ljufvina: For your brother, I would upturn every rock in England.

Eivor approached the head of the longhouse where Guthrum was talking to a Norse Warrior, while Basim stood nearby.

• Guthrum: You wouldn't be the first man to fall asleep on watch. But you would be the loudest.
• Norse Warrior: I did not mean to fail you, Guthrum Jarl. It was only for a moment. I was so tired.
• Guthrum: As are we all boy. We marched hard to get here.

The Warrior looked at Guthram with relief in his eyes, when Guthrum grabbed him by the throat.

• Guthrum: Still, let's not dissapoint me again. You hear?

The Warrior nodded in fear, choking.

• Norse Warrior: My jarl! I'm...sorry...

Guthram pushed the warrior back, who walked away, shoulders slumped. Guthrum noticed Eivor.

• Guthrum: You must be Eivor. I've heard much of you, young one. They say you're something. We'll see.

It is an honor to meet you.The stories are all true.So we will.

• Eivor: Guthrum Jarl, Saxon-bane and reaver of the south. I'm honored to meet you at last.
• Guthrum: Respect where it is due. I like that. Here's hoping you fight as smoothly as you talk.

• Eivor: I am Eivor of the Raven Clan. I have carved a furrow through this teeming land, and the skalds sing loud of my deeds.
• Guthrum: Those who boast have something to prove. The great have no need for it.

• Eivor: Stay around a while and judge for yourself.
• Guthrum: Oh I will. have no fear of that.

Basim approaced.

• Basim: Eivor hopes to rescue Sigurd from the madwoman Fulke, now ensconced in Portcestre fortress. If you wish to crown yourself King of Wessex, Portcestre must fall. An alliance here serves us both.
• Guthrum You promised a great army, but you couldn't breach a crone's garden with what you have assembled here.
• Eivor: This is not the sum of my forces. Where are the rest?
• Basim: Your allies are on their way. We must be patient.
• Eivor: We cannot wait for them. We march as soon as we are able.
• Guthrum: With these numbers? Are you keen to see Valhalla today?
• Eivor: I will not sit on my heels while Sigurd rots in that she-dog's care!
• Basim: We might muster for an attack in the woods east of Portcestre, but there are scouts between there and here.
• Eivor: Scouts I can manage. Point me at them and I will blind Fulke's eyes.
• Basim: One walks the road between Briggworth and Cicestre, another on the river bank north of Crawleah. A third keeps watch on the hills south of Croindene. But I warn you, these are all we know of. There may be more.
• Eivor: A risk we must take. I will find the scouts.

Eivor turned back to Guthrum.

• Eivor: You move the men into position near Portcestre.
• Guthrum: That is a rash gamble, Raven-Feeder. If we are spotted, we will be vulnerable.
• Eivor: If you want victory, come now or not at all. Every hour we waste could be Sigurd's last.

Eivor angrily walked away.

• Guthrum: You had better be all they promised.

Eivor could hear a conversation as she left.

Jorvik is not completed.Jorvik is completed.

• Erke: Eivor has brought many allies together from all over the land.
• Stow: Like these two fine fellows! Brothir and Broder, was it?
• Broder: Careful, Saxon. We're here for the killing, not to make friends

• Broder: That snake Fulke hides behind walls of stone. But Eivor will drag her out.
• Brothir: Still got a soft spot for her, don't you, Brother?
• Ljufvina: Him and Eivor? Ha! Lower your aim, friend, you'll have better luck.

Outcome

Eivor killed all enemy scouts and met with her allies east of Portcestre. They then defended themselves against an ambush, where Eivor defeated Fulke's champion who killed Brothir.
