Steel Ship

"These are the pinnacle of craftsmanship, yet a mere stepping stone on our journey ever forward. One day, even this steel fleet shall be obsolete, and I will smile on my descendants as they conquer the waters denied to us by that spiteful krait." - Gen'Kar Furywind.

Steel ships were developed at great costs by the Tiger's Eye Trading Company and investors. A total of three working prototypes were completed and displayed to investors, among them King Henry Ableford. Each of the trio were dubbed the "Steel Fleet" and kept under wraps on the newly conquered Oleos Islands within the grotto they were constructed. Each of the three ships were given names, the Steel Fang, Steel Claw, and Steel Horn. They feature accommodations for a total of 706 individuals with a planned capacity of 500 within life preserving devices, necessitating around 200 of the crew or passengers being of Player Race - Orc descent with amphibious traits. Each comes with means of defense common to other ships, such as canons, ballistae, and harpoons; a fully stocked kitchen; and room for approximately 2 tons of cargo.
