Chapter 7 Preview (spoiler-free)
“The line between truth and lie is delicate, yet who can truly say where one ends and the other begins?” Loki took another sip of his long-anticipated mead, the sweet and spiced drink of honey warming his belly and spurring his thoughts. “What may be true to me might be a lie to you.”
Chuckling, Tyr finished his drink in one long gulp before clapping Loki on the back. “You are drunk, Loki."
“Shh, do not ruin this Tyr.” Bragi intervened with a grin, nudging their warlord playfully. “My muses’ drunken philosophies always provide great inspiration for poetry.” The rest of the table joined in with light-hearted laughter, enjoying the banter.
“Your muse I can be, but I am far from drunk,” Loki countered, suspecting the others to be far more incapacitated. He was not drunk, at least he didn’t think he was, but the others seemed to enjoy his company more when he appeared drunk. It gave him an excuse to be truly himself without being judged too harshly. Most of the time anyway.
Havi downed his cup, shaking his head with amusement. “Loki, whether drunk on mead or attention, you always seek to stir the pot.”

Eivor's Herbarium: P4 - Raspberries from Grantebridge
~
Outside the fine longhouse of our new ally, Soma, stand these delicious red berries. Octavian claims the Romans brought this berry here & into cultivation. I am surprised he thinks it grand enough for "the Empire!"
~
As @vikingnerd793 recently pointed out, this game is a comfort game for a lot of us. And although it's a weird-ass hobby, video game botany is a comfort thing for me, especially in ACV. Set in places where I've lived but hundreds of years ago, it's a safe place away from the illustration I make for work & the current UK hellscape... So... I was properly pissed off when the sketchbook I'm making this herbarium in got water-damaged in recent studio mayhem. As if the leaking radiator wasn't enough.
The book dried out OK in the end - the water missed the plants on all the pages so far. This page is just a bit crinkly and writing the text I could see that the ink spread a little on that part of the paper. But it left me feeling a bit unsure of the whole thing for a minute...
Eivor spent a lot of time at sea, though. I'm sure she'd be chill about minor mishaps like water damage, wiping the blood of her enemies of plant specimens, etc. So I'm sticking with it.
Why are there giant raspberries in 9th century England anyway?
School history class told me the Romans brought raspberries around Europe, and that raspberry seeds have been found in Roman forts here. Raspberry plants (Rubus idaeus) are related to the cloudberries we also see in game, and are part of the same family as roses. Although spread far and wide as a food plant (since well before the Romans, apparently) it's thought that the domestic raspberry originated in Turkey. As Maria loves to tell me, raspberries are not actually a berry (a fruit with seeds scattered throughout the pulp) but an aggregate fruit made up of drupelets (sections of fruit, each with one seed).
The kind of big juicy raspberries seen in Grantebridge didn't exist until a lot more recently thanks to hybridisation & selection (sorry, Eivor!) Golden raspberries are a real thing though - not common in the UK, but found throughout AC Valhalla's version England.
Ravensthorpe has its own Roman empire fanboy in the form of Octavian, aka Osbert of Lunden. (It's impossible to get a pic of him looking anything but a biiit creepy, so sorry about that.) Anyway, his main issue with the house Eivor gets built for him is that it "lacks the grandeur of the empire at its peak." Rude, frankly. So I couldn't resist having Eivor reference his gripes about Ravensthorpe.
You can also find raspberries at the monastery in Grantebridgescire, and Gratian's villa ruins to keep up with the Roman theme.
I'm already working on the next page to finish up Grantebridgescire. It's going to be wildflowers from the cursed zone on the hill.

Mike is playing a game, and I just listened to him spend almost an entire 5 minutes apologizing to a cat for accidentally killing the other cat.

Her believes in Valhalla were shaken by the events in Norway, but it was a fact that she was still alive and well. Was it because of her fighting skills, or had the gods protected her? Who could say for sure?
OR
Eivor comes home, and Randvi is very thankful for that

So, if you deny valhalla to Ivarr, does Ubba really try to fight you? I didn't give him the axe in my first playthrough because I was so full of grief and horror, but definitely dont remember Ubba trying to fight me? Gods that would have been devastating!
Im so sensitive lol, i should stop playing assassins creed games
