Drakkar

A drakkar is a type of ship used by the warriors from the Skellige Isles, mostly for military purposes.
== Description ==
The drakkar is characterized by a very long length and by a shallow draught. These features make the drakkar one of the fastest ship in the Continent, either for navigating or for landing.
Drakkars usually have only one mainmast with a big sail. The bow of the ship is always decorated with threatening figures representing dragons, mythological creatures, or gods, used to frighten away enemies during boardings.
