The movement of the Great Heathen Army in England in 865 AD during the Viking expansion, near the time when Valhalla takes place, and showing some of the kingdoms the player will explore in the game
In AD 873, war and overcrowding in Norway prompts Eivor and their brother Sigurd to lead their clan of Vikings to settle new lands in Anglo-Saxon England,as part of the Viking expansion across Europe. The clan comes into conflict with the kingdoms of Wessex, Northumbria, East Anglia, and Mercia over the next several years, as well as the warring sons of the legendary Viking warrior Ragnar Lothbrok, who made up the Great Heathen Army. Eivor's clan will face forces led by the leaders of these kingdoms, including Alfred the Great, the king of Wessex. It is during this time that Eivor meets the Hidden Ones and joins their fight against the Order of the Ancients. Explorable cities include Winchester, London, and York. Parts of Norway will also be included.
As with previous games in the series, Valhalla features a narrative set in the modern day. This story follows Layla Hassan, the modern day protagonist previously featured in Origins and Odyssey. Valhalla will also contain story elements related to the Isu, who, as part of the lore of the Assassin's Creed series, are an advanced civilisation that pre-date humanity.
Plot
As a young child, Eivor was forced to witness the death of their parents at the hands of the rogue Viking warlord Kjotve the Cruel. Eighteen years later, an adult Eivor continues their pursuit of Kjotve to take revenge on him. While their latest attempt fails, they are at least able to recover their father's axe. Upon touching the axe, Eivor experiences a vivid vision of Odin. Curious about the vision, Eivor consults the local mystic Valka. Valka induces another vision in Eivor that shows Sigurd missing an arm before a giant wolf attacks both him and Eivor. Valka interprets the vision as a prophecy that Eivor will eventually betray Sigurd, which Eivor remains skeptical of. King Styrbjorn of the Raven Clan, Eivor's adoptive father, chastises Eivor for continuing their hunt for Kjotve, which risks open war their clan has no chance of winning alone. Sigurd, Styrbjorn's son and Eivor's adoptive brother, then returns from a two year raiding expedition, bringing riches and a pair of mysterious foreigners, Basim and Hytham of the Hidden Ones.
Sigurd presents Eivor a gift he received from Basim and Hytham, a Hidden Blade. He then begins a campaign to take down Kjotve once and for all. After retaking a village from Kjotve's forces, Eivor and Sigurd are met by King Harald, who offers his support in eliminating Kjotve. With Harald's reinforcements, Sigurd leads an assault on Kjotve's stronghold. Basim and Hytham reveal to Eivor that they followed Sigurd to Norway in order kill Kjotve themselves, but agree to let Eivor do the deed. Eivor kills Kjotve in a duel and his fortress is seized. In light of their victory, Eivor, Sigurd, and Stybjorn travel to Harald's kingdom for a clan gathering, where Harald announces his intention to unite all of the clans of Norway into a single kingdom united under his rule. Styrbjorn pledges fealty to Harald, which makes Sigurd furious. He and Eivor take their loyalists in the Raven Clan to leave on an exodus to England, where they can found their own kingdom free from Harald's rule.
Eivor, Sigurd, and the Raven Clan settle in an abandoned Viking camp in Mercia and dub it Ravensthorpe. In order to secure their position, they decide to make alliances with the local Viking clans and Saxon kingdoms. Basim and Hytham also reveal that the Order of Ancients is present in England, and enlist Eivor's help in eliminating the Order's agents. Eivor also experiences visions reliving Odin's attempts to avert Ragnarok, with Odin and the Aesir drinking a magical mead that will ensure their souls will be reincarnated as humans after Ragnarok. Eventually, Sigurd, after recovering an Isu relic called the Saga Stone, begins to believe himself descended from the gods. However, Sigurd is captured by Fulke, an Order agent who is convinced Sigurd is an Isu descendant. Eivor and Basim track Fulke to her stronghold and kill her, but not before she tortures and maims Sigurd, leaving him traumatized and missing his right arm.
Sigurd, still convinced that he is a god, decides to return to Norway with Eivor in tow. There, Sigurd uncovers a hidden Isu temple with an advanced computer system. Both Eivor and Sigurd connect themselves to the computer and are transported to Valhalla, where they can enjoy endless battle in paradise. However, Eivor quickly comes to realize that the Valhalla they are in is merely a virtual simulation and breaks out of it along with Sigurd. They are then confronted by Basim, who reveals that Eivor, Sigurd, and himself are reincarnations of the Isu Odin, Tyr, and Loki respectively. Wanting to take vengeance for Odin's mistreatment of his son Fenrir, Basim attacks Eivor.
