Wraith Ship

"On my way here from the Beastlands, I passed one of them. Rather, they passed our vessel. Our inexperienced captain had miscalculated the Dead Time, when no wind blows for nearly a month in late Newsummer. We were stuck in the middle of nowhere when a beaten and battererd vessel sailed up from our own continent. It drew up beside us and offered us a tow. We could barely hear the captain over the howling of the wraiths and the clacking of the crew as it moved around. We almost regretted saying no as we watched the blighted thing sail on without us. Almost."   ~Abide Baht Mig, caravaneer.

Propulsion

The secret to the wraith-ships' success and speed is in the sails: a swarm of wraiths fills them with a constant howling wind.

Weapons & Armament

Skeletal marines use harpoons to hook in and board enemy ships. The aura of decay surrounding the vessels attracts masses of opportunistic predators, and any slip into the water likely means death by shark.

Armor and defense

Wraith-ships are lightly armored, and rely more on speed than staying power.
