Let's set sail into #AssassinsCreedValhalla 
Landmarks: LONGSHIPS 
1. You wouldn't hear about Vikings were it not for Longships they used to traverse the rough seas to England.
2. These were not Pirate ships(came later
) but they still had their own designs and craft.
(1/6)

3. The advanced seafaring Vikings brought to the ocean by building 4 types of longships were unmatched in those days.
4. These ships were made of timber, had elongated designs so they could handle Thor's rage (Rough waters) and ofcourse, carry more Vikings! #raidparty

5. These longships go from small to big: Karvi, Snekkja, Skeid, & Drakkar.
6. Karvi- Smallest, used for trade, transportation and fishing! (Which will be in #acvalhalla , hopefully on Karvis)
7. Snekkja- translates to "Snakes"
, popular, came in several sizes...

(Cont.) but 56 feet (17 meters) was standard shipping (Get it? 
). Snekkja was excellent in deep waters and durable for Atlantic adventures to England and back!
8. Skeid- Translated to "Slider"- A large longship, mainly a warship! Its Range was 121 ft. (37 meters).

9. Drakkar- Translates to Dragon 
. This ship was AWESOME! Carvings of dragons and snakes were used to scare off sea monsters in it! As the ships came close to shores, they appeared as if "great serpents (were) emerging from the dark waters!" (lifeinnorway)

10. #AssassinsCreedValhalla Theory: Now, the game markets Drakkar as Eivor's main ship, but I hope we get a taste of all the ships talked about because it would be dynamic and freaking cool!!
