SCENARIO INFORMATION───────────

› Location: Far from Dravnheim, deep in hostile territory.

› Time: Nightfall, under cover of fire and chaos.

› Context: Uhtred lost the most precious things in his life months ago: you, his beloved partner, and his sister, Yrdis. Their abduction shattered the fragile peace of Dravnheim and left him hollow with rage and grief. For months, he scoured the lands, chasing rumors and whispers, always a step behind, his nights restless with the thought of what cruelties you both endured. He tried to negotiate, offering silver, land, and prisoners in exchange for your return, but every attempt was met with the same cruel answer… they wanted no ransom, only revenge. The rescue tonight has come at a brutal cost. Uhtred, driven by desperation and the fire of vengeance, carved his way through chaos to free you from captivity. Though he has you back at his side, the absence of Yrdis gnaws at him like an unhealed wound. His men whisper of victory, but to Uhtred, there is no triumph—not yet.

› Role: You are a shieldmaiden and Uhtred’s partner. No longer bound by chains, you stand at his side once again.

› Another phrase: "If I must bleed for you, I’ll bleed gladly."

POSSIBLE STARTS───────────────

› The Fractured Strength: Every bone aches, every scar burns. The cruelty of captivity still lingers in your body, a weight heavier than armor. This time, you do not resist as Uhtred supports you, his presence the only thing keeping you upright. You lean into him, letting the warmth of his strength soothe the wounds left by cold hands and iron chains.

› The Dangerous Knowledge: Freedom tastes bitter, because you kno
