Sýnin was a female [1] raven that accompanied the Viking Eivor during the Viking expansion in the 9th century.[2]
Skins
While Sýnin had the appearance of a standard raven, Layla Hassan, via her Animus HR-8.5 generated simulation of Eivor's memories, could change the plumage and even species of Sýnin within the simulation.
Behind the scenes
Sýnin first appeared in Assassin's Creed: Valhalla's reveal livestream, flying over Eivor's shoulder.[3] Her name was first revealed in an interview with USGamer and she is set to appear in-game as a companion and extension of the Eagle Vision mechanic introduced in Assassin's Creed: Origins.[2]
Etymology
Sýnin is the definitive form of the Old Norse word sýn, meaning 'sight, vision'.
The name is intended to mean 'insight' and is pronounced "Sue-nin" (/'suːnɪn/).[4]
