This all took me on quite an unexpected journey. It turns out the location of that Easter egg may not be entirely coincidental, as Tolkien's work was probably inspired by his visit to Lydney Park in 1929. Tolkien had likely influence from his visits to the county - so I decided to investigate a little further. The Easter egg itself was a lovely little surprise to find, but having grown up in Gloucestershire I'd previously heard talk that J.R.R. You can't pick the ring up, but frankly there's enough going on in Valhalla without the need for an epic quest to destroy the one ring. Oh, and there's also a ring placed on top of the envelope - just in case you hadn't already cottoned on at that point. Given the placement of the note in an area that looks like Hobbiton, I think it's safe to assume the druid mentioned in the letter is supposed to be Gandalf, the 'little folk' hobbits, and the one complaining is Bilbo Baggins.

'After the nonsense with the druid last fall, I can see his point.' 'One of the little folk asked me to make the door smaller, as he wants to keep unruly houseguests from his house,' the note reads.

On the west side of the in-game version of Gloucester (or 'Glowecestre'), you'll stumble upon a community of pagans living in moss-covered homes, and in one of these is a note of some significance.

But later in the game you may well stumble across a Lord of the Rings reference - and it's an Easter egg with a surprising amount of depth.

You've probably seen some of the early-game Easter eggs in Assassin's Creed Valhalla by now: most notably the Harry Potter house in Lunden, and the tribute to Keith Flint and The Prodigy in Essex.
