(1 of 3) Take out the ranged units as soon as possible when the fight begins.

Sigurd will be waiting for you outside the longhouse, so feel free to take your time looting the docks. Once you en-
ter, a cut scene will begin, during which you will meet Yanli, a merchant, and Rowan, a stable boy. These two will
be joining your settlement. After the cutscene, during which a number of weeks will pass as the are is cleaned up
and a new settlement name is decided, the quest will complete.

Trivia
The name of your new settlement, Ravensthorpe, was conceived by AC: Valhalla’s narrative director, Darby McDe-
vitt, without prior knowledge of the existence of a real English village of the same name. This village appears to
have roots in the Iron Age and Roman period, and is also mentioned in the Domesday Book (c. 1086 CE), but there
is little evidence for any specific connection to 9th century settlers from Scandinavia.

Settling Down

This quest begins immediately after Unwelcome. Now that you’ve established a settlement in England, it’s time to
start thinking about how you’re going to fund its growth. Take some time to explore the longhouse as you wish, then
speak with Gunnar to the southwest of it. He’ll provide you with a map which he found from the remnants of the
bandits, detailing the location of two nearby “monk huts”, as he refers to them; Alcestre Monastery to the west, and
Meldeburne to the southeast.
