With few jarls left living in England, Toka quickly returned from her trip having only managed to enlist aid from the jarlskona Eivor Varinsdottir of the Raven Clan. In time, the Vikings managed to infiltrate the city and form alliances inside with various antimonarchist insurgents under Pierre. Charles the Fat eventually allowed the raiders to sail further up the Seine to raid to avoid a complete sacking of the city.Assassin's Creed: Valhalla – The Siege of Paris – The Siege of Paris
