The Seven Deaths

[Sam]

A sleek longship, with flowing lines and a prow carved into the likeness of a bestial figure, reminicent of a man, but not quite recognizable as one. A pious atendee of Septries in the Greenlands would recognize the effigy as a crude copy of the statues of the Stranger that exist in many Septs.

This ship was seized from a rebellious vassal of Lord Harlaw by the Lord's nephew, Ser Gruffydd Harlaw, who renamed it and made it his own, as was his right in accordance with the Old Way.

Ser Gruffydd Harlaw sails south from the Islands, catching a strong wind and making good time. His vessel does not carry its usual compliment of fighting men and raiders; instead it carries provisions for a lengthy journey at sea in addition to the crew and the few warriors who serve as guards to the captain. Ser Gruffydd stands at the helm, tall and straight, wearing plate armor that one almost never sees adorning men who spend most of their time on a ship. A long sword hangs at his side and a helm with a seven pointed on its crest is in the crook of his arm.

A boy of sixteen moves through through the ship, barking orders when they are necessary to get a lazy thrall back into line. The vessel sailed toward the Arbor, with the Harlaw banner hoisted high atop its mast.
