Sailor

While travel between the 14 factions of Llagnyn is not a common practice for most cultures, the Faire Folk of Crynab find sailing the dangerous Sea of Clouds a respectable profession.

The Sea of Clouds

The Shattered Continents lie on the Sea of Clouds, far above where the old lands used to be. The Sea of Clouds is very dangerous and ever-changing, making the jobs of the sailors extremely perilous. The sea of clouds can bring about mountains or infinite holes, so the sailors need to be at constant attention to direct the ship.

Boats

There are two types of boats employed by the Faire Folk of Crynab. Boats are used for pleasure and training on the inland rivers of their continent, while ships are used specifically for intercontinental travel out on the Sea of Clouds. The makings of the two are very similar, with the exception that ships have special additions for navigation. The bottom and rudder of ships are coated in a special material called brybryll (b-r-IH-b-r-ih-l), which shoots a constant repelling force behind it. the brybryll on the bottom of the ship repels against what is presumed to be the botom of the old world, while the rudder can be angled to launch it in different directions.

Crew

Operating a ship requires a collection of trained individuals. The crew is made up of many people trained in specific tasks to make sure they can get to their destination safely.

Captain

The captain runs the ship, along with dealing with all financial matters onshore. While at sea, their job is to make sure that all crewmembers are doing what they need to at any given time.

Steer

The job of the steer is to keep the ship going in the right direction. They monitor the directional maps to make sure the angles are leading them correctly, and they operate the steer, a rod poking out of the steerdeck marked with degrees to control rotation of the rudder. They also need to get the boat back on course if direction was altered to avoid obstacles in the sea of clouds.

Defense

Every ship has seven defense, who each guard over the wares of the ship. If the profit of the ship is lost, the defense take the blame.

Cook

A cook is kept on the ship to ensure that all staff are fed. It is often seen a perk of a sailing job if a ship has an excellent cook, and can be a deciding factor in joining a crew.

Slaves

As with many professions, human slaves are kept on ships to do the work which is beneath the faire folk. This mainly involves cleaning.

If this is your first time visiting Llagnyn, some important information to know:

• This is a world where humans are enslaved to the Faire Folk
• The Faire Folk are split into 14 factions, each living on one of the Shattered Continents, which lie on the Sea of Clouds. It is unknown if land still exists below the sky, but as far as the Faire Folk know, theirs is the only land left after the Shattering.
