For all those budding Admirals out there, LORE: Common and Unique Ships of Layonara (http://lore.layonara.com/Common%20and%20Unique%20Ships%20of%20Layonara) is now up.
-
Kurn is certainly pleased to have this awesome list of maritime goodies! Major kudos for the thought and time put into the descriptions!
-
One comment and one question. :-)
"Since people first decided to take that tentative and frightening step to travel across the ocean, they have been fascinated by its beauty and repelled its fickleness."
Should it read "repelled by its fickleness" ?
Also, I see there are building costs listed. Can we as players commission ships for building for RP purposes? Seems like it could be an awesome gold sink, no?

Please post things that you find like this in the LORE bug forums, under the spelling and typos thread. :)

Yes. And yes. Though you should consider that each ship yard is unique and often tied to a regional authority, so it's not quite as simple as throwing true on a table and saying, "I want one of those."

Hehehe.. I just got lazy and included it here. ;-) I'll repost that section...
In regards to #2.. that is awesome!!

Nice work, Spike. Enjoyed it and was delighted to see how thorough you were in combing existing kingdom writeups! ;)
-
One thing I am wondering now is, what kind of ships does Raven Trade have sailing to and from Stort?

Credit for where credit's due: these ship write-ups were done by Dezza and Honora.

As we didn't have these writeups at that time, this has not been defined.

Very true, you all need to go show Dezza and Honora some love.
-
Mostly Dezza, I only did two, I believe. Dez is responsible for the lion's share and a fine job at that!

I would figure after having looked the ships over that the most reasonable ships would be Sea Devils (http://lore.layonara.com/Medium%20sized%20ships%20and%20merchant%20vessels:%20Sea%20Devil) . As the traders who joined the Raven Trade originally was sailing Belinara waters, however that is granted that a Sea Devil can actually sail the open sea and isn't limited to sailing near the coast.
