EGILL

Egill is a Rus (Eastern Viking) merchant and a boat builder. He built Dreki, a faering which can carry four oarsmen, and is 19 feet long with a steering board and a square sail. While not big enough to sail the high seas, Dreki is perfect for easy portage along Russian and Ukrainian rivers, which Egill has to brave in order to trade his goods in Byzantium.

Egill loves music and has made many Viking Age instruments, such as bone flutes, a pan flute, drums as well as reconstructions of  Sutton Hoo Lyre and Trossingen Lyre.
