Hofborg, Docks (Location)

User ID: @TheBerserker88

House: Grand Topal Hideaway

Location Name: Port Hofborg

Brief Description: The once sleepy sea port of Hofborg has been a flurry of activity since the Seabjorn took over stewardship of the town. Trade goods and travelers pass through the port into the town on a nearly daily basis. While the locals may keep a wary eye on the steady comings and goings, they are grateful for the renewed economy such activity brings.

The Saebjorn is the Nord longship that Baene and the villagers of Thorrstad built over the course of many years. It is a ship that is larger then most, but not as large as the king's ships. The Saebjorn has 20 oars to a side with a regular crew of 40 oarsmen (NPCs). The Saebjorn has a shallow hull which houses cargo and some crew hammocks. The Saebjorn travels between 8 and 12 miles per hour.

A rustic sea side shanty is the home of Ulrich the Sea-Wolf. The Nord Reaver keeps an ever watchful eye over the ships docked at port in addition to personally taking on the maintenance of the Saebjorn fleet.

Ships

There are a variety of ships which may be docked in Hofborg. As the town grows and the faire grounds gain new interest the docks will become a busy place, as most locations are at least a few days travel by ship from our coastal home.

The Baby Bear

The poorly named "Baby Bear" is a smaller long ship used mostly for shore line work. Baene inherited the 12 person long ship when he as in his late teens and it formed the basis for the business he grew up around the trade of his family sheep farm and other mercenary jobs that were taken on.

Eventually, the Baby Bear was replaced by the Saebjorn and the Baby Bear was mostly retired. In spring of this year (2022), Larsa took the Baby Bear down along the coast to complete some trade jobs as well as look for Sahja (Morde) another crew member.
