In response, Kassandra readied a [[Battle Axe|axe]] and asked for Eivor's identity. Eivor smiled, picked up an axe herself, and readied herself to fight against Kassandra.

Kassandra unsheathed her [[Hero's Sword|sword]] and sharpened herself a haft to [[Dual-wielding|dual-wield]], while Eivor unsheathed two small axes.

Cursed Church

The Cursed Church was an abandoned church on Scotland's Isle of Skye that was inflicted by a plague of nightmares in the 9th century.

History

During the 9th century, the Viking shieldmaiden Eivor Varinsdottir of the Raven Clan investigated the Cursed Church after receiving information from a woman back in Kiltaraglen. Upon her arrival, Eivor noticed a mist fogging her view and piles of dead villagers in the church's graveyard. With a closer look, Eivor saw a mysterious woman near the bodies and believed Valka's vision was right,[1] that Randvi had jouneyed to Scotland and was somehow involved with the nightmares.[2] However, the woman happened to be the Spartan mercenary Kassandra.<ref name="TossingandTurning">

Kassandra readied a axe and asked for Eivor's identity, though Eivor simply answered she was Kassandra's opponent while grabbing an axe herself, then charged ahead. After a fierce yet brief duel that ended with both axes shattered and the women in a stalemeate holding their Hidden Blades at each other, Eivor and Kassandra agreed to talk and reveal their own ties to the Hidden Ones. Kassandra told that she was in search for the artifact causing the nightmares as Eivor relayed her wanting to stop the nightmares. Seeing their goals aligned, Kassandra and Eivor agreed to work together, though Eivor did so begrudgingly.[3]

Their first task was to remove the cursed fog inflicting the church and blocking Kassandra's ability to track the artifact. Both warriors headed towards the church and forcibly opened the door. From their inspection, both warriors found their way to its underground crypt and found the cursed symbol. Destroying it, Eivor lifted the curse as both warriors left the premise soon afterwards.[3]
