The Sharkfin Vehicle in The Azure Sea | World Anvil

The Sharkfin

The Sharkfin is a two-masted caravel (a light sailing ship) that serves as a merchant vessel under the command of Grendanna Stormbreaker.   The 'Fin sails mainly along the civilised western coasts of The Azure Sea, making semi-regular trips between Eastcliff and Keymouth in the Cerulean Empire, and Redshore and Saltmarsh in the Western Commonlands. It is rarely more than a days sail from land.   The hold of the Sharkfin can carry up to 100 tons of trade goods, assuming none of it is given over to passengers. These goods are normally ores and swamp woods taken from Saltmarsh to the towns of the Empire, and tools, fineries and wheat taken the other way.   As it only sails the patrolled coastal waters of the western shores, the Sharkfin does not bear any deck weapons or special defences.   The 'Fin is a relatively non-descript vessel - functional rather than decorated, as preferred by Captain Stormbreaker. The only identifying marks are the name of the ship on a bronze plaque at the prow, and a roughly painted grey shark's fin on both sides of the aft hull.
