About
- Ships are crafted from wooden planks and beams, with cargo stowed below the main deck above a lower bilge/ballast deck. Most have two or three masts with one or two sails each; Sails are typically square or lanteen rigged, although on smaller single masted fishing boats a more modern triangular sail made be used.
- Each culture or nation that has coastal territory will have some form of navy; both military and merchant.
Shipyards
- All ships are custom built to order at a shipyard and constructed over months or years under the guidance of a master ship builder, whom usually belongs to the guild of shipwrights. Ship designs vary from builder to builder with some national trends. Since they are not mass produced each vessel is a unique creation, and may have differing elements of design, both foreign and domestic, included in its construction.
Shipyards of Note
Ship Designs by Nation
- Most ships are fairly similar in design due mostly to the available materials and technology, though some preferences in design that vary by nation.
- Aralian
- Vessels are usually longer by half and a bit shallower of draft compared to foreign ships of equivalent tonnage, with two or three masts, at least one sail of each type. They are significantly faster, but less manoeuvrable in close quarters.
- Corinthean
- Iskandean
- Usually have two masts, and square rigged sails.
- Krolaryn
- Kythan
- Layor
- Long and wide single masted galleys with square rigged sails. Usually with a single deck.
- Quzonian
- A hybrid galley/square rigged design.
- Tabrani
- Favour a single mast with a lanteen sail, tend to be slower, but are shorter of beam, so can turn more tightly.
- Waejiran
- Mostly galleys with reverse lanteen or square sails.
Named Vessels
- Black Swine - Captained by Kolm Dar-Ukys, out of Li Onas on Onas Hiem in Iskander. She was specifically built to be faster and more manoeuvrable than the navy vessels of Iskander.
- Pearl of the Moons - Captained by [[]], out of Farsë, Kythus. A merchant ship sailing the trade routes from the Layor south to Corinthea.
- Silver Reefling - Captained by Ak'har Salo, out of Sucosa, Quzonia. She was a captured pirate vessel turned merchantman. This ship is believed to sail under dark clouds based on its history.
- Wavedancer - Captained by Neispizeist, out of Miaceaneniah, Corinthea. She is a merchant vessel which sails the trade routes from the Layor around the Southern Cape and through the Torcastan Strait to Waejir.
