Dialogue
TBA
- Letter from Randvi
Eivor,
Two visitors have arrived at Ravensthorpe from Francia. One a young Norse warrior from Jarl Sinric's clan near Paris, and the other seems to be a Frank. They have already built us a new guesthouse as a gift from Sinric's brother Sigfred. I am no seer, but it is obvious they want something from us.
The warrior, a girl named Toka, has been asking after you. Speak with them and find out what they really want.
Randvi
Outcome
Eivor met the Viking Toka Sinricsdottir and the Frankish informant Pierre, who were based near Paris in Francia. She was alerted of King Charles the Fat, who has ambitions and plans to invade England, putting Eivor's clan in danger. Discussing with Randvi, she agreed to travel to Francia to negotiate with Charles.
Behind the scenes
The name of the memory is a reference to the English translation of the phrase "Timeo Danaos et dona ferentes" from the Aeneid, a epic poem by Virgil that retells the Trojan War from Aeneas' perspective. The phrase is broadly interpreted as "Beware of Greeks bearing gifts", but in modern English is usually taken as a proverb warning against trusting any enemy even if they appear to have tempting offers.
