The game starts with Eivor, a Viking raider, leading a raid on a monastic settlement in England. After the raid, Eivor and their clan, the Raven Clan, settle in the newly conquered land and begin to establish a new home.
As Eivor explores the new land, they discover that the land is already inhabited by Saxons, who are in conflict with the Vikings. Eivor must navigate the political landscape and decide whether to ally with the Saxons or the Vikings.
Eivor soon discovers that the real conflict in the land is not between the Vikings and Saxons, but between the Assassins and the Templars. The Assassins are trying to stop the Templars from obtaining an ancient artifact known as the "Key", which has the power to control the minds of men. Eivor is drawn into the conflict and must choose which side to support.
As Eivor progresses through the game, they discover that the Key is being held by a powerful and mysterious figure known as The Order. Eivor must gather allies and resources to launch a final assault on The Order's stronghold and stop them from using the Key.
Throughout the game, Eivor must also deal with personal conflicts, such as the death of their brother Sigurd and the betrayal of their close friend Randvi. These conflicts add depth and emotional weight to the game's story.
