Bolingbroc Castle

Bolingbroc Castle

Bolingbroc Castle was a castle in 9th century Lincolnscire, England.

History

In 875, the Viking shieldmaiden Eivor Varinsdottir of the Raven Clan found herself at Bolingbroc Castle after her investigation for the Ealdorman Hundbeorht led her to track him to the castle. Surrounded by Anglo-Saxon guards, Bolingbroc Castle was patrolled as Eivor stealthily broke in and searched for the ealdorman. Going within the castle itself, Eivor found herself probing the lower quarters of the castle as she heard voices. Upon her discovery, Eivor found the ealdorman's corpse being taken care of a nun, Galwyna, who stated that his illness took him and that she would comfort him in the upcoming funeral rites. Eivor took proof of the ealdorman's death and left Galwyna to keep tending to the late ealdorman.

During her journey, Eivor ventured within the castle grounds and unlocked the path to the second level. On the grounds, Eivor searched the homes and found a chest within one of the homes. Opening it, Eivor retrieved the Galloglach Trousers. Going towards the castle, Eivor battled and defeated a Anglo-Saxon gedriht and later claimed a Nickel ingot from his personal effects. Also, Eivor found and claimed a Book of Knowledge, which led to her learning the ability, Focus of the Nornir.
