Titan Fox
The Titan Fox is the personal airship of Aymer Eilrie. It is a custom-built airship, built by Conzania.
In 1733 during a trip from Rivenglow to Featherby, the ship got raided by Wyndam Shaw. While no lives were lost, Wyndam was able to steal the gold that was being shipped. Reportedly, it was a quarter of a million in gold. It was the last job Wyndam did before retirement.
The Titan Fox is a high-speed yacht that flies through the air.
In 1790, the option was added to land in the water and proceed as a boat. When in the water, the engines cannot be used. The sails get moved into a more vertical position so that the ship can sail away.
Both the cockpit and the captain's quarters are unusually large for a ship this size. That was a design choice of Elrie himself.
The cannons have to be manned by one person per cannon. The user of the cannon can either channel their own magic through the cannon or use one of the infused spells. The infused spells are: 5th level Flame Strike at the target or 3rd level Lightning Bolt.
Infused spells draw energy from the Magic Storage Crystal.
History
This ship was commissioned by Aymer Eilrie in 1728 and has been in his possession ever since.In 1733 during a trip from Rivenglow to Featherby, the ship got raided by Wyndam Shaw. While no lives were lost, Wyndam was able to steal the gold that was being shipped. Reportedly, it was a quarter of a million in gold. It was the last job Wyndam did before retirement.
Retrofits
In 1751 it got a refit, replacing the engine, adding more windows and redoing the kitchen. In 1768, the engine was again replaced and the internal wood was refurbished. The last changes were done in 1790 when the engine was tweaked, the outside wood was replaced to make it waterproof and a rudder was added so it could land and sail the seas.Usage
When Aymer Eilrie has to travel abroad, he uses the Titan Fox. Since he has a pilot's license, he usually assumes command of the ship. There are also other qualified pilots on board. They take care of flying if/when Aymer wants to do something else.The Titan Fox is a high-speed yacht that flies through the air.

Layout
The Titan Fox comprises 3 decks.Top deck
The top deck has a luxurious captain's quarters and the cockpit. In the cockpit, the sails' angle can be adjusted as well as the rotation and speed of both propellers.Both the cockpit and the captain's quarters are unusually large for a ship this size. That was a design choice of Elrie himself.
Middle deck
On the middle deck, there are 4 personal cabins, 2 bathrooms, a common room, the staff room and, at the front, there's a second common room with windows to look outside.Lower deck
At the lower deck, there is a cargo bay with an entrance for loading/unloading cargo. Behind the first door, there is the aserion room and beyond that, there's the kitchen.Weapons
Cannons
In the cargo bay, 8 class IX emperor type cannons are ready to fight back in the case of an attack.The cannons have to be manned by one person per cannon. The user of the cannon can either channel their own magic through the cannon or use one of the infused spells. The infused spells are: 5th level Flame Strike at the target or 3rd level Lightning Bolt.
Infused spells draw energy from the Magic Storage Crystal.
Weapons
Weapons of the crew are stored in the crew's quarters. The captain has his own weapon storage in his captain's quarters.Technology
Power Generation
Power onboard is generated through 2 aserions that also provides propulsion for the ship.
Propulsion
Communication Tools & Systems
Internal communication is handled by communication prisms. Every deck has at least one prism that is linked to one in the bridge. The only external communication possible is with a communication prism in the captain's quarters. The comm prism in the captain's quarters is linked to Lyanoris Central Airship Command (LCAC).
Lyranoris Central Airship Command can communicate with other Lyanoris alligned airships and with Central Airship Command's in other countries.
Any CAC can contact any other CAC and they in turn can link any 2 ships together if needed.

Already a nice looking map :) How does it actually stay in the air?
It's a fair question and something I still need to work on. In my mind there's a magical core in the bottom of the ship to lower the ship's weight. The ship is propulsed by either propellors or sails. In this case, it would be both. The sails are there mostly cosmetically, although they could function if the engines run out of fuel. The propellors would do the normal propulsion. Interesting thing to figure out. Thanks!
Glad I could help :) Yes that magical core would be a nice idea! Perhaps the sails could help with steering, that is also a possibilty.
Thanks for the question, I've added it :)
