Settling Down was a virtual representation of one of Eivor Varinsdottir's genetic memories, relived by Layla Hassan through the Portable Animus HR-8.5.
Description
The Raven Clan looked to expand their new home by building a forge for the clan's blacksmith, Gunnar.
Dialogue
Sigurd and Eivor entered the long house.
- Sigurd: Fine work. A long house to rival any I have seen. Now come. Randvi has found something I would like you to see.
They walked over to Randvi in the next room.
- Randvi: Eivor. Sigurd. I give you England... and its four kingdoms. Mercia, East Anglia, Northumbria, and Wessex. From the few plans and maps I discovered here, I believe the Sons of Ragnar have pushed further into Mercia, here...
- Randvi: My scouts will soon tell me if I am correct.
- Eivor: And where are we?
- Randvi: Here. In this unnamed copse of trees.
- Sigurd: Unnamed. We cannot let that stand. What will we call this place?
- Eivor: I might have an idea. Ravensthorpe. The village of ravens.
- Sigurd: Hm. I like it. The poet in you sings once again. One day, this name will be known throughout all of England.
- Randvi: A name is only a beginning. If we want renown, we must build. Expand.
- Sigurd: Agreed. We should begin with a forge. Can you help Gunnar get working again?
- Eivor: We will need cargo, supplies.
- Sigurd: For that, our neighbors will provide, whether they wish to or not.
- Randvi: Scarecely arrived and now we must raid?
- Sigurd: We cannot master this land merely by asking.
- Eivor: I'll go and speak with Gunnar now.
- Sigurd: Good work, my dear. And what else have you found?
- Randvi: Short notes, mostly. Scraps of plans, old letters. A few rune-stone messages. It took some time to decipher the mess, and piece it all back together.
Eivor headed to Gunnar's tent.
- Gunnar: Not a bad place, Eivor. Not al all! Can I help you with anything?
- Eivor: Sigurd wants your forge up and running as soon as possible. For that we need supplies and riches.
- Gunnar: Ah! You mean to go a-viking, then! Good, good. How I miss those days! Ransacking and pillaging, blades singing and shields splintering.
- Eivor: I would ask you to join us, but you are the only blacksmith we have. We cannot afford your loss.
- Gunnar: O, it's no bother. Better I forge axes than swing them. My place is here, not pulling on the oar of a river-horse. Though you do remind me... I found a map among the bandits' rubbish. Marked up with the locations of Saxon monk-huts.
- Eivor: Yes. Bandits know as well as we do, monasteries are full of riches and loot.
- Gunnar: Take the map with you. And put it to better use than they did.
Eivor took command of the long ship.
Outcome
Eivor gathered enough materials to build a forge for Gunnar in Ravensthorpe.
