The '''''Nosferatu''''' was [[Sabalom Glitz]]'s ship. On [[Iceworld]], it was taken by [[Kane (Dragonfire)|Kane]] as a down payment for his gambling debts, and to force him to use the map to [[Dragonfire|the treasure]] of [[Svartos]]. During the emergency it was used to try to evacuate Iceworld, but it was rigged to explode, killing the refugees. | The '''''Nosferatu''''' was [[Sabalom Glitz]]'s ship.

* The word ''nosferatu'' is supposedly Romanian for vampire, as presented in [[Bram Stoker]]'s novel ''Dracula'' and its subsequent unauthorised 1922 adaptation entitled ''Nosferatu, A Symphony of Horror''. Its origin is debated (Stoker did not invent it), but it forms part of a motif of vampirism in ''Dragonfire'' writer [[Ian Briggs]]'s ''Doctor Who'' work. His subsequent story ''[[The Curse of Fenric]]'' featured more references to ''Dracula''. | * The word ''nosferatu'' is supposedly Romanian for vampire, as presented in [[Bram Stoker]]'s novel ''Dracula'' and its subsequent unauthorised 1922 adaptation entitled ''Nosferatu, A Symphony of Horror''.
