64 Foot Dak — the ‘Lorkin’
January 20, 2008
A dak is a type of ship; specifically, a merchant vessel. This is one part of a special double release from HWG. Friends, Foes & Followers — Part 6 (qv) includes nine characters inspired by the Sci-Fi series “Firefly” transposed into the world of Hârn as seagoing folk instead of spacefaring folk. Their ship is a 64 foot dak, a medieval type of ship known to us as a cog. Despite its connections to FFF6, it can be used separately for any seaborne adventures.
