Sea
Vessels of Vastonia!
This
site details Vastonia's most recognized sea-fairing vessels. Some are pirate
ships, some merchant fleet and some galleons of war. All ships are listed by
category for quick, easy reference. All of the following ships have the following
vital information: size, tonnage, speed, capacity, purpose, captain and perhaps
brief history. Note: This list concerns only the
most famous seagoing vessels. There are literally hundreds of ships sailing
Vastonia's high seas, but most of which pale in comparison to the following.

| History |
Hosting
the largest crew in all Vastonia, the Black Marauder leads the royal fleet
of Ryhanion, which consists of over 75 ships. She has never been defeated
in battle since she sat sail "nearly 8 years". The largest war
ship to ever set sail. 250' long and a little over 78' wide. |

Kes
Tasanberry (Half-Elf) |
| #
of Crew |
339 |
| Goals |
To
assure Vastonia of her freedom. |
| History |
Kes's
Vengeance is surely one of Vastonia's oldest war vessels. The ship has only
docked 5 times within it's home port since her original departure from Dreknyr.
Now that the port has been destroyed Kes sails the globe on an endless journey
to conquer new lands, defend the realm from one's who attempt to thwart
it and create alliances with other warring fleets of elite status. |
Atom's
Triumph
| Captain |
Atom
Blackmour (Human) |
| #
of Crew |
388 |
| Goals |
To
protect the outer boundaries of Icrandor. |
| History |
Although
devoted to the protection of Icrandor, Atom makes it his personal passion
to sink other fleet. Atom's Triumph is but a single ship in an entire fleet
of the Icrandor Alliance, which consists of over 50 ships. She sails near
the outer boundaries of her home kingdom's waters, but often deviates from
her course to sink opposing vessels. If ever confronted about his actions,
Atom will use every excuse in the book to avoid being stripped of rank,
by the high affiliates of Icrandor. However he always returns to his pirate
like tactics. Although severely damaged, Atom's Triumph has never technically
been defeated. |
Swift
Successor
| Captain |
Gust
Flengorth (Orc) |
| #
of Crew |
189 |
| Goals |
To
obliterate every warship who dare sail the seas of Tutjak. |
| History |
The
Swift Successor is by far the most feared war galleon of all. Her crew consists
of 189 angry, blood thirsty, orcs. Her captain Gust, is a madman in his
own right. Stricken with hate Gust uses the Swift Successor as an instrument
of chaos, bringing war to any vessel who happens to cross his path. Although
over anxious to sink enemy ships, Gust never attacks a fleet who consist
of more than twice his own number, but never hesitates to crash into a ship
of equal strength. The Swift Successor is but one of Tutjak's 12 war galleons. |
Wrath
of Harad
| Captain |
Sir
Aeiristar Endoria the III (Human) |
| #
of Crew |
295 |
| Goals |
To
protect the rights of Hadaurm, lead the royal fleet and sink all who oppose
their cause. |
| History |
This
mighty Galleon leads Hadaurm's royal fleet which consists of over 150 separate
ships. This fleet is known as the Imperium and no other fleet can match
it's size, power and/or numbers. The Wrath of Harad currently hosts 295
crew and her captain "Sir Aeiristar Endoria the III, is the son of
Hadaurm's high Magistrate "Rasteim Endoria". Her main enemy's
are Tantamar's deadly Ogre fleet. |
Storm
Bringer
| Captain |
Titanus
Kulthorian (Ogre) |
| #
of Crew |
359 |
| Goals |
To
someday sink every last ship of the Imperium! |
| History |
Yes,
this is the infamous Ogre fleets leading ship "Storm Bringer".
She heads a mighty fleet over 60 ships. Although the fleet is outnumbered
and outclassed, Stormbringer possesses magical enchantments which increase
her chances of success. Once/ day this craft can double it's normal speed
for up to 3d6 turns. It can also engulf itself in a protection from normal
missiles spell "protecting against catapults, arrows, ballista's etc."
for not more than 2d6 rnds and is constantly followed by a cloud of poisonous
smoke, which spans out nearly 500 yards in length and billows covering a
distance of 200 yards in width. The poison acts as poison type C. Now if
your real clever you can see how this ship can gain a quick decisive advantage. |

Treasure
hunters |
| History |
One
of Rathorn's only manned ships, Harkoons Thirst sails the seas searching
for treasure and fame like most of her rival pirateers. Having a crew of
only 8, she offers not much threat to other vessels, but rather offers a
challenge in other ways " to claim buried treasure first". Her
crew consists of 8 of the toughest buggers in all Rathorn and all of them
strive to bring their clans glory through her reputation of looting the
seas of it's riches. |

The
meaningless slaughter of other sea-goers |
| History |
This
guy needs no introduction, he is the most feared pirate in all Vastonia.
He attacks enemy ships on sight will little or no concern for himself or
others. He is smart enough to stay away from imperial fleet and other warring
galleons, but would never hesitate to punch a hole through the side of one
and make a quick escape. "Arrrrrrrrr you scurvy bastards". |
Scurvy
Harlot
| Captain |
Sass
Wildwind |
| #
of Crew |
12 |
| Goals |
Treasure
hunters |
| History |
The
most famed female captain of all Vastonia heads this beautiful ship. The
Scurvy Harlot makes it rounds of the seas trying to out fox her rival pirateers
and lead them away from potential treasure hordes. Sass is the only female
within the crew, but leads her men, with strict, unswerving devotion and
they all would give their lives to see she gets what she wants. The most
loyal crew in Vastonia. |

Promise
| Captain |
Zyllum
(Human) |
| #

10 |

Loot,
pillage, rape, murder, what ever brings joy to this merciless crew. |
| History |

years of all the above. Hated by all, this crew gets around like a wild
forest fire. The have surveyed most of Vastonia's endless oceans and will
continue their wake of evilness until put to rest. |
Ship
of Ghosts
| Captain |
unknown |
| #
of Crew |
17 |
| Goals |
unknown,
perhaps to haunt the seas of Vastonia for eternity. |
| History |
A
ship shrouded in mystery. The Ship of Ghosts is seldom seen, but when it
is, no man fears not. For this ship floats only in darkness and is plagued
with death and decay. It is said that the Ship of Ghosts is constantly being
followed in a cloud of silvery mist of the most eerie creation. Although
most men never live to tell the tale, one encounter tells of up to 17 apparitions
manning this ship of no sails. |
Invisible
Stalker
| Captain |
Diminus
the Dreadful |
| #

| History |
Diminus
and his crew have sailed Vastonia for many ...many years, they have seen
just about everything. They now make runs back and forth between the Sea
of Dragons and the city of Pirates, Diminus seeks the lost treasure of Krim
the Bold. See Legends

Lofwihger's
Plague
| Captain |
Gredich
Lofwihger |
| #
of Crew |
8 |
| Goals |
Treasure
of course.....arrrrrr matte |
| History |
The
name of this ship far offsets Gredich's good name. He sails the seas in
search of many legendary treasures, but never harms another unless provoked
into doing so. He will protect his claims until death, but will never loot,
pillage or plunder another vessel for any reason. Lofwihger's Plague has
sailed Vastonia's endless oceans for over 15 years and represents the only
good name pirates have. |

The
Mighty O'Sullivan
| Captain |
Petre
O'Sullivan (Human) |
| #
of Crew |
25 |
| Goals |
Make
his fortune by trading goods between nations |
| History |
Petre
and his men have sailed between Huskuria and Rathorn more times than a kangaroo
jumps during mating season. They have a respected trading route with the
natives of Huskuria and only fear the inevitable "to be killed by pirates".
Although one of Petre's crew is a fair user of magic and a 15 hit-die fireball
should be more than enough to set ablaze enemy ships. |
Suzail's
Lady
| Captain |
Suzail
Fergason (Human) |
| #
of Crew |
19 |
| Goals |
Only
to make her family money |
| History |
Suzails
Lady sails across the great lake of Ciez , between Dio and Carn's port on
a regular basis. She never leaves the freshwater of the lake. Suzail will
gladly take aboard passengers who seek passages of this immense lake, but
always for a small charge of 7gp. Suzails Lady set sail 5 years back and
continues to be one of the most successful merchant ships in all the land. |
The
Wanderer
| Captain |
Pegleg
Mcgee "pegs" |
| #
of Crew |
13 |
| Goals |
Not
sure.....he's a little off his rocker |
| History |
As
noted above Pegs is quite strange, not crazy, but rather loony. He makes
his route between Lune and Port City Vandia, trading hard come by products
to the local of Lune for ridiculous prices. |
Happy
Skipper
| Captain |
Draydon
Weltch "smiley" |
| #
of Crew |
22 |
| Goals |
To
drink, drink and drink some more |
| History |
The
happiest crew in all the land. Draydon and all his ship mates spend their
years sailing the lower seas of western Vastonia, making a regular run between
Silverton, the Islands of Mist, and Machetz-Hep. I say their the happiest
cause all of their profits go to local brothels, barrels of ale and anything
else they so choose. |

Aldren's
Pride
| Captain |
Aldren
Mallors |
| #
of Crew |
9 |
| Goals |
To
sail every shore |
| History |
Aldrens
Pride has been afloat longer than any care to remember. Although the crew
is remembered by many. For over 35 years now, Aldren and his men have plotted
a steady course to be the first explorers to sail every shore. Most of the
crew is well in their late fifties and they still are far from the completion
of their live long task. Aldren fears that his goal will fall short, but
never mentions this to his crew.....NEVER....he'll die on this sons of a
bitch. |
The
Equestrian
| Captain |
Propholomsese
the seeker |
| #
of Crew |
12 |
| Goals |
To
map the entire globe |
| History |
The
Equestrian hoisted it's anker over 12 years ago and has never looked back.
Propholomsese and his crew circumnavigate the globe mapping each and every
cove, bay, island, reef etc. So that one day a detailed map can be created
by themselves or perhaps another. The crew of the Equestrian is famous world
wide, and apparently has no enemies, well that's what they tell everyone. |
Magnificence
| Captain |
Magnus
Julunheim |
| #
of Crew |
15 |
| Goals |
To
breed with foreign woman, hehehe.....well not always. |
| History |
Magnus
and his merry men have sailed Vastonia's waters for about 4 years now. They
left Asintine with hopes of claiming new land, but soon found more joy in
fornicating with the wild women of other far off lands. They now spend most
of their time sailing the seas of Kalador "the continent just east
of Vastonia". |
Backards
Boat
| Captain |
William
Backard |
| #
of Crew |
6 |
| Goals |
To
visit as many native regions as possible |
| History |
Backard's
Boat has logged more separate regions than any other vessel within this
mighty realm. Over 247 surveyed. They have established foreign relations
with many of those cultures, but have also made many enemies in doing so.
Willy has lead this crew through many terrible storms but has never lost
a ship yet. The crew itself consists of 6 very different individuals all
of unique racial backgrounds. All of them have different goals in life but
have banned together with Willy and his ship till something better comes
along. They are by far the most unorthodox crew to sail the seas, but can
tell amazing stories beyond all comprehension. |

Wild " wildrider " |
| #
of Crew |
45 |
| Goals |
To
sail the high seas, docking at almost every port to bring joy to local men
through passion, lust and exotic beverage. |
| History |
The
Pretty Betty has sailed for over 20 years, recruiting new young harlots
as her crew with each passing of established ports. Men are never taken
onboard. Men seem to flock to the Betty's arrival when docking and local
women keep a careful eye on their men when this crew comes to town. Terisia
claims to have ruined over 1,000 separate marriages by what she offers for
free "a quick easy one night stand" for any men who seek it. |
