Grand Easterly

The Grand Easterly was once an impractically large New Crobuzon warship, constructed at the end of the city's golden age, the Full Years. Although it was believed to have sunk during the Pirate Wars, it is now the flagship of Garwater and the largest ship in Armada. Directions throughout Armada are given relative to the Grand Easterly (for'd, aft, star'd, and port).

Compass Factory

Deep inside the Grand Easterly, a strange stone of mysterious origin attracts the needles of Armada's metaclockwork and magical compasses: the godrock. It is also one of the five ships tethered to the Avanc's harness by means of a powerful underwater chain.
