[Northwic, East Anglia]
{(Y/N) "Lightning-Walker" Thorbjorn POV}

Having returned to Northwic, even after knowing Oswald could still be alive, but uncertain. Eivor, Vernal, and I walked into Northwic, and as for Neo... I had her doing something that only she could do. Having going through the city of Northwic, there was a sense of dread in the air.

(Y/N): You both feel that?

Vernal: Yeah, almost like the city is mourning... Oh...

Eivor: Word of Oswald's death must have sifted through like dust in the wind.

Continuing on, we managed to find Finnr near what looked like a bar wallowing in shame and drinking heavily. However, before we could even speak to the man, a child herald announced to everyone about Oswald's death.

Child Herald: Oswald is dead! Oswald is dead! We mourn the loss of our future king and hope for East Anglia! We will remember his brave fight in Dunwic. We will remember his sword against Rued's. And above all we shall remember the man's devotion to God and his mission. Raise your mugs to Oswald tonight at the Spanking Pig! That is what the man would have wanted!

Having heard enough, the three of us walked over towards Finnr as he took notice to us.

Finnr: [sigh] Another king lost...

Eivor: Stop washing your face with mead.

Finnr: How can I face Halfdan Jarl now? I've failed him again.

Vernal: Hey, at least Oswald fought to the very end and took Rued with him. Better than the previous kings you set in place.

Finnr: [nods, looks in tankard] True... but what can we do now?

(Y/N): The remnants of Rued's Clan... We can take the battle to what remains of Rued's clan, before they hit back.

Finnr: Easier said than done. [stands] His men are holed up at Burgh Castle, a fortress on the sea.
