If you've read "Everything Ravage, Everything Burned," you likely remember the infamous (and very gory) blood eagle scene...
Well. Late in one AC:V quest line, a brutish Viking companion of mine suggested we take an injured king we’d been seeking revenge on to a special location, and I knew before we got there what was going to happen, thanks to Tower. And sure enough, I was right.
Thankfully my character felt the same disgusted way about it that Tower’s protagonist did. A line not in the Granta version, but included in the Anchor: “He don’t need to mess with that. A damn tedious waste of time.”
Anyway! I'd be curious to know if the @assassinscreed team first found the blood eagle in the Tower story, during Viking-related research. I know it appears in the sagas too, but everyone I know who knows about it knows because of Wells Tower.
