Centuries ago, the Bayfolk Dragonhead Ship was already a terrifying presence that struck fear into countless people across the Silver Continent.
The runic characters for 'Viking' mean 'person from the fjord,' or Bayfolk for short.
As a naturally pirate nation, they would frequently set sail on their Dragonhead Ships, launching fierce attacks on monasteries, churches, and noble lands along the North Sea coast.
This type of dragonhead pirate ship naturally became the iconic symbol of this tribe.
The Dragonhead Ship was specifically designed for piracy and long voyages, with a hull that was light and narrow, flanked by rows of oar ports.
When sailing against the wind or when strenuous rowing was required, the rowers could easily lower the sails and maneuver with flexibility.
Not only was it very light and easy to handle, but it was also sturdy and seaworthy, easily beached on coastlines or linked together to form large pirate fleets on rivers.
