Hakon Firebeard (pronounced HACK-on) was a legendary Rothurlandic viking. Known for his particularly cruel and callous ways, Hakon raided coastal towns as far away as the southern coast of Thadria, usually burning them to the ground once he had taken everything of value.
After dying while on an expedition near Orhassu in Y9236*, Hakon's body was brought back to Rothurland to be laid to rest. Once returned, he was placed on his ship with all his armor and weapons and surrounded by his grandest spoils. The ship was then lit ablaze and released to float away. Hakon's soul, however, had other ideas. Too determined and driven to pass peaceful, observers from the shore saw his body stand up, lower the sail, and take the still-burning ship out to sea. In the centuries since, sightings have been reported around the Sea of Khoros and even into the Chaska of an ever-burning Rothurlandic ship, crewed by a single skeleton bathed in fire. Some even claim that the Blazing Reaver, as he is now known, continues to burn seaside towns that invoke his inscrutable wrath.
