Longship

The Longship is a large ship used by the norsemen of Midgard.
== Crew ==
Longship usually carries about 40 men. Longships powered by major or minor helms usually carry 1-2 priests of the Norse pantheon who will serve as helmsmen, however the rest of the crew will be made up entirely of experienced warriors. 
== Ship Use ==
Raider: The vast majority of Longships are used as raiding vessels. These ships usually specialize in making surprise attacks on small settlements, and are involved in few ship-to-ship battles. Since they usually carry a large number of warriors, Longships are rarely attacked by pirates. 
Trader: A very small number of Longships are used as legitimate traders. Typically this is only done by those with a cultural bias towards using Midgardian ships, since the Longship has little to recommend it as a trade vessel.
