The Seawolf

     The SeaWolf is a mystical Ulfen longship that is summonable by Bjorn with the horn of Njǫrd. A rune encrusted horn of a long dead Wyvern. When blown next to any body of water, be it the sea, a river, or a land-locked pond or lake, an unnatural fog rolls upon the water, obscuring vision, and out of this fog silently sails the Seawolf. This ship is a 45 X 15 foot long ship of Karve design. Made of bewitched oak, the fore and aft keels are carved in stylized wolf skulls. The ship itself appears almost derelict. Dark and worn with creaking rigging lines. This belies the ship's sturdiness and strength because it is equally capable of carrying up to 15 passengers, or up to 2 tons of cargo. Being of longship design, it has a single mast with a worn square black sail upon it, Ulfen knotwork embroidered on it, the riggings of the ship, adorned with hanging skulls, runes of blood red painted upon them. This ship is equally at home on the sea, or on rivers. When the wind is not an option for propulsion, the ship has 4 oars that can be lowered into the water. The true feature of the sea wolf is in its fore figure head of a wolf skull with stag antlers, its eyes alight with purple fire that never burn the boat. For in this figurehead the spirit known as Svartrsál is bound. This entity, for eons hunted the spirits floating along the banks of the river Gjöll, and now bound, gives the Seawolf its magical ability, the ability to fade from the mortal realm and to sail upon that river. Gjöll is the Ulfen River of the dead, a cold, dark, and misty barrier between the land of the living and the dead. When sailing this river, the Seawolf can cover a distance of 100 miles in an hour in the mortal realm, yet on the vessel itself, it seems as if you are merely drifting leisurely upon Gjöll's dark misty waters. When the destination is reached, again, any body of water works for disembarking; the unnatural fog rolls upon the water once again, and out of this fog the Seawolf silently sails to drop off its cargo, then fades back into the fog, gone from the mortal realms to drift upon the river Gjöll once again. Until the sounding of the horn, summons it to service again.
