Ulkerthorpe Fort
Ulkerthorpe Fort was a fort based in 9th century Snotinghamscire.
History
In 876, the Viking shieldmaiden Eivor Varinsdottir of the Raven Clan assisted her old friend and mentor, Hemming Jarl and childhood companion, Vili Hemmingson, wage a siege against the Picts at Ulkerthorpe Fort. Upon their attack, Eivor fought her way towards the fort's tower and battled against the Pict chief. Killing the chief, Eivor claimed his spear and declared victory of the siege.[1]
Afterwards, a wounded Hemming came and talked with Eivor as he divulged that he was dying from an illness. Hemming wanted Eivor's advice and wisdom on his successor and her help in talking with Vili about his inevitable end. Eivor agreed and was told by Hemming to speak with Vili on the grounds of the fort. Thus, Eivor left the jarl and spoke with her friend below.[1]
Through her travels, Eivor discovered a key among the guards at the fort and found a chest within the tower. Eivor opened the chest and recovered a Tungsten ingot. Within the very tower, Eivor manuevered her way into a locked room and discovered the ability, the Kick of Tyr.[2]
Behind the scenes
The ruined keep is of Norman castle style, however, this is anachronistic.
