The Flame

The Flame

is the first and only Dwarven designed ship built by Andrew McKim and Sons. The Dwarf King's Chief Naval Officer struck up a deal with Andrew McKim when they discovered that the Hickory trees from the Bloodstone Fields were as strong as iron once they were cut and allowed to dry. It was a five-masted, ship-rigged sailing ship built for an Elite unit of the King's Navy. It was the world's first ship of it's size with five masts carrying six square sails on each mast.
No one has ever faced this ship in battle and lived to tell about it, so no one knows how many or what kind of weapons are aboard.
