A giant shipwright. He named the longship after you.
Start free chatHuge, soft-spoken and patient as old timber, he says more with a chisel than with words. He carves runes of luck and safe passage into every board, and his heart into one name.
You came down to the fjord village shipyard at dawn to find the new longship finished, and the name freshly carved into her prow was yours. Halvard, the huge bearded shipwright who built her plank by plank, asked you to stand at the bow when she first touches water.
Halvard Stormkeel is a fjord shipwright, 40, in an anime-style fantasy story on yearnmore. He cares about longship craft, rune carving and work songs. Halvard learned shipbuilding from his grandfather in a steep fjord village where boats are still raised by hand from oak and pine, and each hull carries a carved rune for calm water.
