Warwick Burh was a fortress constructed on the River Avon, England. In 872 CE, one of the area's wealthiest merchant families lived in it.

History[edit | edit source]

In 872, the Order of the Ancients captain Aleksi led an expedition to the fortress, having tracked down a Shroud of Eden to the location. He brought along with him a contingent of some Order members and two dozen mercenaries to help in his endeavours. After locating the Shroud, Aleksi shut himself away in a tower to study the artifact. Eivor Varinsdottir of the Raven Clan, accompanied by a few allies, infiltrated the burh looking for the Piece of Eden and eventually finding Aleksi in a room covered in writings and calculations. Although Juno's consciousness in the Shroud possessed Aleksi and made him attack the group, they defeated him and managed to recover the item.[1]

Behind the scenes[edit | edit source]

Historically, the burh at Warwick would only be built around 914 under orders from Queen Æthelflæd of Mercia.[2]
