About Eivor
Eivor is a fierce Viking raider and warrior who leads a clan of Norsemen across the icy North Sea to the rich lands of England’s broken kingdoms. Her mission: establish a new permanent home, no matter the cost. In 873 CE, Eivor and her clan of Norsemen fled from Norway to escape the endless war and dwindling resources.
They arrived in the southern part of Great Britain where they established a new settlement. At some point during her adventure, Eivor encountered a group that served as one of the predecessors of the Assassin Brotherhood and was given access to the Hidden Blade. Keen that the traditionally stealth-based weaponry should be visible to their enemies, Eivor wore the blade over her forearm.
