Assassin's Creed Valhalla: Lincolnscire Shiremoot Choices

AntMag.NET

Alright, so you've reached a pretty big decision point in Lincolnscire during the quest 'Where the Stone Falls.' You've got three candidates for Ealdorman: Hunwald, Aelfgar, and Herefrith. Who you pick here really shapes how the rest of the Lincolnscire storyline plays out, so let's break down what happens with each choice.

The TL;DR: For the most satisfying continuation of the Lincolnscire arc, you'll want to back either Hunwald or Aelfgar. Picking Herefrith basically cuts this whole storyline short, which isn't ideal if you want to see everything through.

What Happens Based on Your Choice?

Let's dive into the specifics:

If You Choose Hunwald:

When you back Hunwald, things get pretty intense. Herefrith is revealed to be a member of the Order of the Ancients. You'll have to deal with his soldiers before the quest wraps up. The good news is that immediately after this, you'll be able to jump right into the next quest, 'A Sword-Shower in Anecastre,' which keeps the momentum going.

If You Choose Aelfgar:

Choosing Aelfgar leads to a very similar outcome as picking Hunwald. The main difference here is a bit more personal: Hunwald will eventually join your settlement at Ravensthorpe after you complete 'The Lay of Hunwald.' It's worth noting that even if you chose Hunwald earlier, you can still build Hunwald and Swanburrow's House in your settlement, and Swanburrow will settle there on her own anyway.

If You Choose Herefrith:

This is where things get cut short. If you vote for Herefrith, you won't be able to start or complete the quest 'A Sword-Shower in Anecastre.' Plus, 'The Lay of Hunwald' arc will just end there. Herefrith's true colors as a member of the Order of the Ancients won't be revealed until much later, and when they are, he'll betray you. So, unless you're specifically looking for a quick end to this particular story thread, it's probably best to avoid this option.
