So...is Eivor like Edward Kenway? Did he just stumble across an Hidden One outfit/gear set, claimed it for himself (thus becoming a pretend-Assassin for most of the game) and went around killing people with enhanced methods...or does he truly adhere to the Creed and is he part of an organization? For now, the story is merely about Danes/Vikings looking for a new land to settle and getting inveigled in the local squabbles.
The only thing we know is vague comments from the staff about how they want Valhalla to be a turning point in the overarching story but NOT be the final installment/conclusion of the saga.

Seems Eivor met the assassins before the game and helped them. As thanks, they gave Eivor the hidden blade. My guess is that something happens during the game that Eivor officially joins as a result.
The gender thing is becoming weird. Apparently you can actually switch genders freely throughout the game. My guess with this is that it is done by a piece of Eden Eivor finds. It allows him to switch forms much like Loki Once could. They are likely to just Just stay silent about Eivor original gender. Doing it that way creates a “valid” excuse of it in game that plays into Norse lore. Or we will start with a very young and androgynous Eivor finding the POE before getting the initial choice of what gender to start playing as.
