During the Snotinghamscire story arc in Assassin's Creed Valhalla, players must determine the leadership future of the region following the passing of Jarl Hemming. Eivor is called upon to arbitrate who will step up to lead the clan, choosing between Hemming's son Vili or the experienced advisor Trygve. Understanding how these decisions unfold helps players secure the best narrative path and gameplay rewards for their Ravensthorpe settlement.

Stopping Trygve From Sacrificing Himself

Before reaching the final vote at the Althing, Eivor encounters Trygve preparing to burn himself alive to join Jarl Hemming in death. Selecting the option to stop him ensures that Snotinghamscire retains a capable leader and keeps the choice of succession open. If you allow Trygve to sacrifice himself, Vili automatically becomes the new Jarl without further debate.

Choosing Vili as the Next Jarl

Appointing Vili as Jarl honors traditional lineage and fulfills the expectations of many clan members who respect his combat skills. However, Vili expresses a strong desire for personal freedom and adventuring rather than governance. Selecting Vili prevents him from joining your Ravensthorpe raiding crew, as he remains behind to govern Snotinghamscire.

Selecting Trygve and Recruiting Vili

Choosing Trygve to lead Snotinghamscire places a wise and steady hand at the helm of the territory. Trygve accepts the mantle of leadership willingly, allowing Vili to pursue his dream of glory on the battlefield. As a result of this decision, Vili joins Eivor's longship crew in Ravensthorpe, becoming an available ally for future raids.

Impact on the Main Narrative and Alliances

Regardless of whether Vili or Trygve becomes Jarl, Eivor successfully secures a permanent alliance with Snotinghamscire for Ravensthorpe. The primary difference lies strictly in settlement recruitment and character growth. Choosing Trygve provides the maximum gameplay benefit by adding a unique warrior to your crew while ensuring stable regional governance.
