Database: Eivor (Female)

Raven Berserker

Eivor was born in 847 AD to Varin, a chieftain who paid tribute to Styrbjorn, a king in Southern Norway. Eivor was raised as a warrior, fed myths and sagas of heroism from a young age. She dedicated her life to becoming a peerless warrior and famed hero.

King Styrbjorn and his son Sigurd came to visit Varin's hall in 858. Eivor's father held a feast for the king and his son, where Eivor was introduced to them. The feast quickly turned bloody, however, when Kjotve the Cruel, a rival to Styrbjorn, launched a treacherous attack. Eivor attempted to prove her heroism by facing down Kjotve's warriors, but was stopped by her father, who died to protect her.

Adopted by Styrbjorn, Eivor grew to be a tremendously skilled fighter and brilliant strategist, eventually earning a position as Sigurd's berserkr. It was not just her skill on the battlefield that made her invaluable. Eivor was highly intelligent, a devourer of stories and knowledge. She was quite proud, however, and long resented her father for protecting her, an act of cowardice in Eivor's eyes.
