The Godtooth

A marvel of modern Fleshwork , the Godtooth is a construction from various creatures and occult rituals. A boat capable of surviving both the Ocean Below and a trip through the Breaches to the Surface, it's construction and unveiling is considered the pinnacle of The Carcernatorums' craftsmen and scholars work alike. Recently unveiled, her first voyage is supposedly going to be the first of many warships to traverse the The Breaches -- once it delivers the materials and workers to supply the first ever Outpost on the Ocean Below, that is.   Its' unique structure marks it as both a marvel and a monstrosity; while the majority of the hull and upper components are carved from treated bone, the submerged hull and lower decks are overgrown with gum-like tissue that serves to create bouyancy and deter the larger predators in the Ocean Below. The 'gums', over the time of its' construction and docking, has grown teeth that protrude from the outside of the hull itself. This was not an intentional feature, however as it is providing an armoured protection to the soft tissue, the teeth were kept - and the nickname of the Godtooth came to cement itself.   While the ship has yet to sail, the Breach-King has ordered both an influx of prisoners to be enlisted to servitude, as well as pushing propaganda to ensure any free citizens, rich or poor, sign their lives up to the Godtooth and her grand mission. Many Wardens squabbled over the position of Captain to the vessel, however it was Warden Graye who was appointed to oversee the expedition.
