Moira is a Anglo-Saxon woman and the herbalist and healer of the jarl-turned-king, Halfdan Ragnarsson, during the 9th century in Eurvicscire, Northumbria. She helped to treat Halfdan, who experienced illness, in terms of both his emotional health and his physical health.

Biography

Living in Eurvicscire, Moira followed the tenets of Christianity along with her mother. Moira saw her mother soon die, after failing to understand what was the cause of her death. After some time, Moira came to work and treat Halfdan, after her works in herbs seemed to have soothe the pain Halfdan was experiencing, but not cure it.

Moira met with Viking shieldmaiden Eivor Varinsdottir at a celebration in Donecaestre that was held for the latest victory against the Picts. Moira was later consoling a man, whose wife was experiencing medical issues. Moira spoke briefly to Eivor about her role with Halfdan, as Moira had to attend to other business.

After fighting the Picts alongside Faravid and Ulf, Eivor returned to Donecaestre to talk with Halfdan, whom Moira was talking to about his treatment. Upon Eivor's arrival, Moira gave a herbal drink to Halfdan, who requested that was all for now, and then Moira left. After a heated discussion about being poisoned , Halfdan told Eivor to still keep an eye on Faravid, but Eivor interjected that Moira could be a possibility for poison as well. Agreeing with her, Halfdan told Eivor to check out Moira in town. During Eivor's investigation, it was seen that Moira went to Wyke to treat a man's wife, from the earlier conversation at the celebration. At Wyke, a mob of people was yelling outside Moira's home. Moira was trapped by the mob, until Eivor came into help. Moira was later saved as Eivor dispered the mob. Moira left her house, safely out of harm's way. Afterwards, Moira talked with Eivor about Halfdan's health and that the remedies she gave are just treating the wound but not curing what Halfdan has.

At Petuaria Ruins, Moira's beliefs of Halfdan's illness being a mental and incurable one were relayed by Eivor to Halfdan. However, Halfdan rejected such a notion, despite a moment of worry..

After the fight against the Picts and Ricsige of Northumbria, a celebration took place in Jorvik as Halfdan was to receive his coronation as king of Northumbria. As Eivor looked for Halfdan, Moira stated that he and Faravid were talking together outside. As the coronation started, all attendees, including Moira, Ljufvina Bjarmarsdottir, Hjorr Halfsson, and Faravid, saw Halfdan crowned as king. After Eivor wished Halfdan good fortune, Halfdan began coughing horribly as he dropped his goblet. Moira was shown the goblet by Eivor as Moira stated that it's made of lead. Eivor remembered that it was lead that drove the Romans mad. Moira agreed and recalled that her mother drank from cups like the goblet. Accusing Faravid of long-time poisoning, Halfdan saw that Faravid be punished. After the fate of Faravid, Halfdan was left bereft. After gaining an alliance with Halfdan, Eivor left and reported back to Randvi in Ravensthorpe.

After the events with Faravid's fate, a sadden Moira was met by Eivor at the throne room. Speaking to Eivor, Moira stated that Halfdan has been absent and their king has been lost in depression and paranoia.Moira was asked by Eivor about Halfdan and she stated that Halfdan is in Picheringa with his dog, Beonton. Eivor left and convinced Halfdan to come back to Jorvik and rule as the King of Northumbria.
