As she had done before, Eivor held the amulet aloft, prompting its energy to lighten up the three Elder Futhark runes and the stylized triquetra on the door, which slid down to open.

The All-Seeing Eye was a virtual representation of one of Eivor Varinsdottir's genetic memories, relived by Basim Ibn Ishaq in 2020 through the Portable Animus HR-8.5.
Description
Eivor decided to revisit Hildiran in order to check her progress in discovering the purpose of Odin's Eye.
Dialogue
Eivor found Hildiran in the centre of the training area adjacent to her home in Ravensthorpe, close to its Shrine of the Valkyrie.
- Hildiran: Ha! Eivor of the Raven Clan! The Eye of Odin will serve our purpose!
The Viking approached her.
- Hildiran: I have discovered the secret of the Eye.
- Eivor: What can you mean?
The old woman pulled from the ancient artifact and showed it to her while gazing upon it.
- Hildiran: It is one thing to look upon it, but quite another to listen. It will sing to you, Wolf-Kissed. It will sing of treasure.
The object emitted a faint sound.
- Eivor: You speak in riddles.
- Hildiran: Take it. Hold it close. Go to the coast of East Anglia. Once there, follow the song. You will see.
She handled the Eye to the jarlskona.
- Eivor: I am to listen to an eye with my ears. I fear you mock me.
- Hildiran: There is no mockery. Go. You will understand.
Eivor left with a smirk on her face. She then travelled to the cliffs under the fortress of Dunwic, where the sound the artifact emitted got stronger.
- Eivor: What is this? The Eye of Odin has found something.
She found a small abandoned encanpment on the beach near the rocks. As Eivor approached a sealed crack in the cliff, the object started "singing" in a strange language.
- Odin's Eye: Dű hàsm rhobtoràs oænosôd oærhàsi (Open for the sake of one of the Chosen Ones).
(unintelligible)
(unintelligible) dű hàsm rhobtoràs oænosôd oærhàsi ([...] open for the sake of one of the Chosen Ones).
Eivor then used one of the oil jars in the camp to clear the barred opening. She passed through it, prompting the sounds emitted by the orb to get louder.
- Eivor: This is Hildiran's song. It gets louder as I approach its object.
Venturing into a corridor made of unusual architecture, she eventually dropped into a small pit and saw a sealed door reminiscent of the one in Freyja's Cave. Eivor held Freya's medallion aloft before the door. A faint glow came from the medallion, but it was not enough to trigger the door mechanism. Unsatisfied with the result, Eivor tried to force the entrance, pushing the stone door to no avail, as Hildiran arrived.
- Hildiran: I see you are unable to open a simple door.
The jarlskona threw the orb to the old woman.
- Eivor: Your singing stone tells me something is within. But the door will not move.
Hildiran examined the artifact.
- Hildiran: Have you still the amulet of Freyja?
- Eivor: You burden me with so much jewelry.
Eivor took the amulet out of her satchel and showed it to her.
- Hildiran: You may have fooled Freyja, but your strength is no match for Odin.
- Eivor: You mean to say that I must continue to train.
- Hildiran: New shrines of Hugrheim await you. If you like, come visit me. I have more treasures to bestow.
She handled the Eye to the Viking.
- Hildiran: Meanwhile, keep this. There may be other hidden playthings of the gods.
The old woman left, leaving Eivor to find another two shrines in order to complete more meditation challenges. Finished her training, she returned to the entrance of Odin's Vault.
- Eivor: It is likely that once through this gate, there will be no way back. Am I ready for this?
Eivor left but eventually reconsidered her decision, returning once again to stand in front of the stone door.
Eivor found a series of notes in Hildiran's home, starting with a paper on her dinner table.
Mother's Teachings
- Darling Hildiran,
The chill of death is upon me. I leave to you our family duty, passed mother to daughter for generations extending back into the swirls of time: vengeance must come to the hated Odin, in whatever form he is found.
Your distant grandmother Hildr served as Valkyrie to the goddess Freyja. As such, the learned of Odin's plan to save himself and other Æsir gods from the devastation of Ragnarök.
Furious that Odin thought only of himself and his friends, leaving all other being in Asgard to perish, Hildr rallied the Valkyries to attack. But, betrayed by Freyja, her rebellion suffered defeat and Odin let fall his merciless justice. Hildr was sentenced to a deep, dark prison to wait for the coming end to all.
Distraught by her part in Hildr's fate, yet unable to defy Odin, Freyja arranged to deliver her own amulet as a token of past love.
Hildr wept bitter tears and had the amulet sent away to her daughter in hopes it would one day be of use.
Hold these words close, dear Hildiran, Perhaps you will be the daughter who makes Odin pay for his cruelty!
–Your Loving Mother
Eivor turned around and saw another note on a pile of blankets by the door.
Research Notes
- I have looked closely into the odd amulet passed down by my mother. I have come to believe all that Mother has tole me, and the legend that it belonged to the Freyja herself. I will use it to search for any manifestation of Odin reborn!
Almost more astonishing than Freyja's Amulet are the shrines that are hidden throughout this land. The mysterious metal that exists in these shrines is the same metal of which Freyja's Amulet is made.
What is remarkable is that the shrines increase the power of the amulet, pushing its illusionary powers beyond all understanding. One can create what appears to be a very real event which takes place nowhere but in the viewer's mind!
Eivor saw a final paper on a barrel near the back wall.
The One-Eyed Unmasked
- Word has spread that an extraordinary Norse warrior is found in England, capable of exploits of legend. I will thence to see whether this be the rebirth of the one I seek.
I have found the Norse, Eivor by name. They appear credulous—I believe I can beguile them into almost anything.
The Amulet of Freyja offers the power of illusion. I shall make this Eivor jump to my command!
I have gained Eivor's attention and trust. It was simple enough with the amulet: a meteor fell from the sky! Or so it seemed to Eivor...
All is falling into place. This Eivor trusts me! I will find Hildr's armor and use its power to crush this "Odin". What delicious irony!
