Eivor does not discover Ravensthorpe. She builds it, defends it, earns the right to leave it. A settlement she had no intention of founding has become the measure of everything she has done.

The endgame asks something harder. Sigurd unravels. Basim reveals himself. Alfred is spared. The order she fought is not destroyed but redirected. Nothing is resolved cleanly. The game ends the way it began, with someone deciding again what they are willing to carry.
