Orcish Stone Ship

Written by Salen

This massive ship is the pride of the orc warlords and is one of the reasons that the warlords no longer hold open war among themselves. The ship is a devastating war machine capeable of decimating any ship it comes across, even itself.

Unique Hull

The hull of these massive ships are carved from the substance called Blackstone and is hard as diamonds, yet not as heavy as iron. The hulls are then reinforced with iron banded wood and stone parts to give this ship the fearsome appearance and deadly manuverability in the open oceans.

Weapons of Destruction

The ships have an array of cannons to either side (6 per side) and a ship sinking Mouth Cannon in the front. The ships sail at about 35 knots and can turn fatser than some of the smaller ships out on the waters. The only thing to ever take down one of these ships, beisdes another Stone ship, was a Kraken.

Warlord Toys

These ships are primarily for the Warlords of the three nations and are never seen in private use under penalty of death. There are currently 11 Stone ships in use and with the truce of the three nations, they only patrol their own seas for now. These ships function as a stalemate tactic among the warlords and keep the truce in place. If at anytime a warlord thought he could defeat the other warlords ships, that truce would break faster then an elven slave in an orc bed.

Cargo & Passenger Capacity

Mouth Cannon

This oversized cannon fires shaped balls of black stone at speeds that are astonishing. Just the recoil alone is enough to almost halt the ships forward momentum and is recomended to be fired at a drift or free current only. The sound carries over 40 miles when fired and anything hit by this forward weapon is considered hulled if hit squarely. if only grazed, they may list to that side as even then something will get torn away. If fired at another Stone ship, it will still do considerble damage, and would be enough to almost capsize even these great ships if braodsided.
