Arrow class skyship

Carrying the distinction of being the smallest commonly available skyship, Arrows only comfortably carry one person (with precious little in the way of a cabin) and measure only twenty feet long. Despite the lack of comfort, these vessels are highly prized as incredibly fast craft. Though somewhat expensive, the Arrow combines speed and maneuverability with enchantments that disrupt divination magics being used nearby, which includes the magics most other skyships use to track it as well as the efforts of magicians to determine anything about the vessels. A single magicannon is available to the lone pilot, and because of the craft's small size and correspondingly low prana needs the Arrow can fly anywhere. Most maintain a canopy over the vessel to offer what little protection it may, and to at the very least keep the pilot out of the elements.    Like most skyships, the Arrow can be left to move in a straight line without pilot intervention while maintaining a consistent altitude, granting pilots time to sleep. A pilot must stand in the covered wheelhouse to move the vessel, and it is steered with two large levers roughly three feet long. The ship may change its facing without changing the direction it's flying in, granting it extremely good maneuverability, and the magicannon is fixed to the bottom of the hull requiring this kind of flexibility for accurate fire. The maximum velocity for an Arrow not engaged in combat is nearly 100 mph, which is why this vessel remains the first choice for courier missions or discreet escapes.
