I liked your answer!
As a Thunder god, could he stay the wind? |

That would be a valid answer. You could also say that Jupiter made the retreating Romans stay, and the Romans, with Jupiter's help, made the Sabines run away. Depends how you look at it.
Over to you, Roland.

Of all the wondrous items created by the dwarves for the Norse gods, the one a pirate would choose is Skidbladnir. What is Skidbladnir? |

The Gem of Unlimited Wealth?
Perhaps The Gem of Unlimited Rum, or The Gem of Unlimited Wenches. Either one.

Not a gem.
Hint: If it existed in our world, it would probably be on display in one of those museums Salty visited in Oslo. |

It wasn't that ring in Wager's opera The Ring of the Nibelung was it?

Nope - not jewelry of any sort. It was an item of more practical use - a type of item needed by any pirate - or viking. |

I'm thinking bladnir is blade.
Short sword or ice blade, perhaps? |

Any why, you ask? Because we haven't had a good thread derailing in a long time. That's why!

The attempted thread derailing has been the strongest answer so far. Go ahead and consult the internet. |

No need (to consult the internet). I am guessing that the item in question is a ship. Though I will have to consult the Internet to find out just how special of a ship.
