Fable Bound

A viking ship that rocked when you rowed it. Most of the crew who built it had never welded.

The finished viking ship at dusk on the playa, shields glowing warm from within and blue light washing the painted wave skirts at its base
Black Rock City, August 2024. The shields lit from inside; the sea lit from below.
Sixteen crew members in matching black hoodies posed in front of the ship on the open playa under heavy grey cloud
The crew, on playa. Most of them had never built anything like this before they showed up.
The ship's prow at night, a ring of illuminated blue runes above a glowing lantern, with laser beams from the city fanning out behind
The ship seen at distance across the open playa in daylight, dwarfed by the desert, with the Man and the mountains behind it
For scale. Twenty feet of ship, and still a speck.
