Varin's Axe was a bearded axe which belonged to Varin, the father of the Viking shieldmaiden Eivor Varinsdottir.
Originally forged by the Heillboer's blacksmith Gunnar,[1] Kjotve the Cruel kept it as a trophy after executing Varin with it during a raid on the Raven Clan in Rygjafylke,[2] though it was later recovered by Eivor after she defeated one of Kjotve's clansmen, Rikiwulf, before he could kill her crewmate Bragi in a blood-sacrifice.[3]
Eivor held onto it when she joined members of the Raven Clan in leaving Norway for better prospects in England.[4] There, she found sufficient funds and resources to upgrade the axe to different tiers, increasing its attack and lethality against opponents while also displaying finer craftsmanship.[5]

Behind the scenes
The digital model for Varin's Axe, Eivor's starting weapon in Assassin's Creed: Valhalla, would later be reused for two weapons in the mobile game Assassin's Creed: Rebellion, with the Superior tier being used for Shieldbreaker and the Flawless tier used for Wurmsbreath.
In February 2021, Lead Writer Alain Mercieca revealed that a mini-model of Varin's Axe at its Superior tier was made during Valhalla's production, joking that Eivor's male actor Magnus Bruun had so many troubles handling the life-size prop during mocap he was forced to use the mini, which the post-production team then blew up 500 times for the game files.[6]
