The Walls of Templebrough was a virtual representation of one of Eivor Varinsdottir's genetic memories, relived by Layla Hassan through the Portable Animus HR-8.5.
Eivor met with her brother Sigurd and Ubba Ragnarsson outside Templebrough, a possible location where King Burgred was hiding in.
Eivor spotted the camp Sigurd and Ubba had set up, just out of view from Templebrough. As she approached, she overheard talking.
Eivor entered the camp to see Ubba standing over some enemy soldiers, two kneeling and bound, one dead. She spoke to Sigurd.
Ubba's eyes went wide in realization.
He turned to address Ubba.
As Sigurd and Eivor left the camp, they continued talking.
Eivor and Sigurd boarded her longship and sailed upriver to land beside the fort. Eivor blew her horn to signal the start of the raid.
Eivor and Sigurd entered the fort quietly.
Eventually they found an entrance into the upper levels of the central keep, where several soldiers were gathered.
After killing the soldiers within the barracks, they made their way down the stairs, further into the keep. At the base of the stairs was a door, beyond which they found Lady Aethelswith and three of her handmaidens.
The maids ran, but paused on the other side of the room as Sigurd and Eivor approached their mistress.
Sigurd nodded and began circling the lady.
Aethelswith put her hand to her chest, beseaching.
Sigurd glared and stepped forward to loom over their captive.
The lady put her hands up, shaking, but Eivor noticed something out of place.
The false Aethelswith frowned, glancing uncertainly at where Aethelswith's handmaidens were hovering.
Two of the maids ran as Eivor gave chase, the third had already slipped away while they were distracted. In the outer area of the fort, the real Aethelswith could be heard shouting.
Outside the fort, Aethelswith was escaping on a small boat, a single guard sculling. Eivor followed.
Aethelswith and the guard landed, fleeing to a small camp of Mercian soldiers not far from the river. Eivor killed the soldiers and approached her target in the camp.
Eivor bound the lady and picked her up, making her way back to Ubba's camp.
Aethelswith spat.
Finally, Eivor entered the camp with her captive, pushing the lady to her knees before Ubba.
She spat at him as Sigurd made his way into camp.
Aethelswith looked away in shame.
Ubba pulled her up by the arm and led her away.
Sigurd nodded and started to walk away.
She looked back at the two guards still struggling against their binds.
Eivor nodded and released the men. Before leaving she went back and searched the fort. In the room where Aethelswith had been hiding, she found a note.
Near the note was a door, locked from the inside. Destroying part of the wall, Eivor entered and found an entry from Aethelswith's journal.
Eivor left the fort for her next destination.
Eivor infiltrated the fort, later pursuing and capturing Lady Æthelswith, the wife of King Burgred.
