🌬💫Like many other gods, Freyr himself possessed many great treasures. He was the owner of the ship Skidbladnir. The ship was huge enough to carry all the gods, horses, and other armor. 🌳🌬💫Freyr could fold the ship until it turned small enough to fit a place in a pouch when not in use. This magical ship could travel through the land and within the air. And, of course, it could cross the ocean as fast as a magic carpet.
