Give Silver to Merchants or Fund Halfdan's War?

At the end of Closing the Vault you’ll need to decide what to do with the silver that was found beneath Jorvik. There are no significant consequences to this, but we recommend that you give the silver to the merchants if you want some positive dialogue with Halfdan later.

“Give it to the merchants.”¶

Eivor will ask that the silver is given to the merchants of Jorvik, since they were robbed of their wares. Hjorr agrees and Ricsige says that he’ll distribute it evenly.

“Fund Halfdan’s war.”¶

Eivor suggests that Halfdan will need the silver for his war with the Picts. However, Halfdan will say that the silver should have been put to better use if you choose this option.
