I'm totally onboard with being able to hang a lantern at the prow of the Karve and Longship, or even just on the mast.

I'd also like to be able to craft shields to line the gunnels, because serpents are jerks, but that's a different issue.

IRL vikings didn't sail at night unless they were forced to, out at sea. That said, in this game we're forced to do so unless we want to be attacked by fantasy creatures that we aren't equipped to handle...with exceptionally poor night vision to boot. Not like we can just find a quiet spot to land before dusk LOL

Viking longships did not have lanterns on the bow, they had carved animal heads.

How does this preclude the use of torches, oil lamps and candles...all of which the vikings had access to?
