Among the legendary vessels and crews from the massive shipyards of Jyljyrfyk to make the journey south across the whale road - the Kaal Kaaz, the Chrion, the Sadon Reyth, the Harakk, the Fallowfire, the Jorrvaskr and the most exalted crew of our lord Ysgramor’s ship, the Ylgermet - there was perhaps no other wave-rider more song-famed for her elegant curves, subtle design and matching beauty of her captain than the Vedrfolnir.
Öndótt Fairjaw and the crew of the Vedrfolnir could be heard singing far and wide across the frothy peaks of the ocean’s mountains and for their Voices they were blessed by Kyne, as ever a wind was at their back, the sea was always bountiful before their wake, and whales swam alongside them always.
“You and your crew have shown the strength of the bear, the ferocity of the wolf and the cunning of the fox to our enemies this day. The endurance of the whale, the strategy of the owl and the grace of the eagles are yours. Go now to the highest peaks and deepest forests, live strong and as guardians like the bears, be fierce and loving like the wolves and be bold yet quiet like the foxes. Be beautiful like the moths, wise like the owls and as elegant as the hawks. Embody the aspects of these sacred totems so that we can show with our spirits what it is to be the Children of the Sky.”
With that the crew of the Vedrfolnir lifted their voices one last time among the brave fellowship and honored company of the Five Hundred Companions of Ysgramor, harbinger of us all.
