Eivor awoke from his vision to a disturbing prophecy from Valka regarding Sigurd. After returning to the village, he finally met with the King before rushing to the docks to greet the returning Sigurd. His brother introduced Basim and gifted Eivor a hidden blade, which Eivor chose to wear atop his wrist.
Eivor's dream for answers finally ended, and he came back to reality in Valka's hut. He immediately told the seer everything he had seen in that strange, cold vision.
Valka explained the meaning behind the details of the dream. She claimed the vision meant Eivor would eventually betray Sigurd, but Eivor refused to believe it, as Sigurd is the only family he has left.
I returned to the village and spoke to Randvi, who finally allowed me to meet the King. When Eivor entered, the King was finishing a meeting with another man who left as soon as we arrived.
Eivor spoke passionately about wanting to kill Kjotve the Cruel right away, but the King insisted it wasn't the right time yet. Their debate was interrupted when Randvi hurried in with news.
Randvi announced that Sigurd had finally returned. Eivor wasted no time leaving the King's presence to go and meet his brother after their long time apart.
I ran down to the docks where Eivor and Sigurd greeted each other warmly. The whole village seemed happy and relieved to see Sigurd back on home soil.
Sigurd introduced two mysterious companions he met on his travels, members of a brotherhood. One of them was Basim; he looks a bit different here than in Mirage, but he's clearly a skilled assassin.
The King came out to personally welcome Sigurd home, treating him like his own son. Even during the reunion, Sigurd remained focused on the goal of avenging their people against Kjotve.
Later, inside the Great Hall, Sigurd shared stories of his travels with the people. He then called Eivor over to join him for a more private conversation.
Sigurd wanted to share a drink with his brother while mentioning a special gift he had brought back from the East. He signaled for Basim to step forward.
In front of the two assassins, Sigurd presented Eivor with a hidden blade. Eivor was clearly pleased with the craftsmanship of the unique weapon.
Basim tried to show Eivor the proper way to wear it inside the wrist, but Eivor joked about the tradition of losing a finger. He decided to wear it on the outside of his arm instead, to keep his hands whole.
That's all for now.
