Yule or Yuletide was a pagan festival celebrated by Germanic people before being appropriated by Christianity as it spread through Northern Europe. It was celebrated from the start of the December solstice and lasted 11 days.
History
The Viking shieldmaiden Eivor Varinsdottir arrived in Jorvik hunting members of the Order of the Ancients while the city was preparing for a Yule festival.
Yule festivals were also celebrated at Ravensthorpe.
Behind the scenes
As part of Assassin's Creed: Valhalla's post-launch content, a Yule festival event will be added to the settlement mechanic for a limited time.[1] The first in-game event ran from 16 December 2021 until 6 January 2022, later extended until 27 January.
