Ze-o’-war (zee ə(v) ˈwô(ə)r)

Ze-o’-war is a class of battleship created for long-term defense and travel. When one is seen, its looming presence demands respect from all who pass one. Ze-o’-wars are built with large watertight compartments below the waterline to endure attacks and has enough space to provide a relatively large crew for months at a time. Offensively, the Ze-o’-war is lined with a defensive cannon every two feet along the sides. Interiors typically include two cabins (one for males and one for females) with several beds each, a kitchen, a tablespace that also doubles as a mini-bar, and a stockroom.
The most famous Ze-o’-war of all is without a doubt the S.S. Blackfeet--the signature vessel of The Black Parrot Privateers, granted to Kipp Gartside from the governor of Tyria him/herself as a reward for his instrumental role in putting an end to a scurvy epidemic that nearly crippled the island's pirates and privateers.

(low whistle) Even without a picture, you've said enough that I'm impressed by seeing it come over the horizon of my imagination.

Check out Natural Magic : a coming of age fantasy novel, because life is hard enough when you're fourteen, even without saving the world. Or listen to it in podcast form .
