Vörubíll

"I can't say it was the smoothest trip I'd ever been on; My cargo got quite a bit shaken up, but for heading over the rocky terrain of the Feramonto Mountains, it was so much smoother than riding in an autocarriage, and in nearly half the time! I think that at least excuses its weird gimmicky design..."
- A foreign diplomat
 

Discovery

These 15ft-long 10ft-wide vehicles boast one large stabilizing tire in their front and two large driving tires in their back, with a decent 10ft x 10ft bay in the back to carry a large load.   Invented by a Vomethndan clan member who was not satisfied by either the autocarriage due to its bulky design or the Enhjul due to it trading out power for compactivity, the vörubíll was conceived to transport a moderate amount of gear across the Vomethndan countryside, no matter the terrain. After pitching the idea to many companies across Vomethnda, interested parties in Kavios funded the invention and began producing vörubílls, which caught on with fellow Vomethndan clans like wildfire after it hit stores in the early-to-mid 1600's  

Access/Availability

Due to their funding being from business-owners in Vomethnda's Kavios, those interested in purchasing a vörubíll are going to be set back nearly double the price of a Velocipede/Enhjul, with a new vörubíll starting at 125 Gold. The Vomethndan clans & military receive special discounts for these vehicles, which is why they are such a staple among Vomethndan troops, though these machines are also used frequently by travellers across Vomethnda and less-commonly in countries southward who are known for their particularly rough terrains like Ezlekh, Fiáinetai, and even Astraganto.   Despite being widely available and commonly owned by the public across Vomethnda, these vehicles cannot shake their image of being the poster-boy for the Vomethndan military, a tough image to shake surely in these oncoming difficult times of war.  

Utility

These vehicles are known for their versatility, being able to haul thousands of pounds of cargo despite their relatively small size. These vehicles are also known for their exceptional durability, with vörubílls having been known to survive tumbling off of cliffs or even head-on collisions. These factors have led to these vehicles being used for a variety of different fields including shipping, tourism, and even entertainment as they are crashed into one-another in vörubíll derbies.

Types of liquid fuel include whale diesel and synthoil. Alternatively, these vehicles can run off of fantasma crystals, typically requiring only a quarter of a pound of the crystals to run per hour of operation, though this does wear down the engine significantly faster.   Cover: Creatures inside of the Vörubill gain half-cover while inside of the vehicle, creatures who are in the windows have no cover   Found Vehicle: If the Find Vehicle spell has been used to create this vehicle, its INT, WIS, and CHA modifiers and saving throws are equal to yours   Crash Course: Upon driving this vehicle into a space occupied by a Large or Medium creature, it must make a DEX saving throw [DC = 8 + your DEX Mod + Proficiency (if you have vehicle proficiency)] or that creature takes [2d6 + Proficiency (if you have vehicle proficiency)] Bludgeoning damage. The vehicle takes the damage dealt to foes, this damage cannot be reduced

Invented by a Vomethndan wanting a vehicle which could take the best aspects of autocarriages and velocipedes, the Vörubill was designed for speedy travel across every inch of the Vomethndan Plateau without being impacted by the changes in terrain. The Vörubill sports one wheel in the front and two in the back, and comfortably holds up to three passengers while also being able to carry heavy loads over large distances. Some Vomethndans swear its the greatest mode of transport in existence, though additionally, it is also the priciest.
