Sky Galleons

Sky Galleons were created by a team led by the Baramorian Engineer Scivali. He and his team studied designs for sailing vessels well preserved in the Thellos Academy of Magic library on the Isle of Wren. They also inspected the remains of the vessels there that once plied the seas, prior to the Sundering.

The properties of Skystone were well documented by this time, so the team was determined to find a way to make a vessel float using the stone, with cloth sails for propulsion the way the ancient sailing vessels once did.

After 4 years of trial and error, Scivali and his team succeeded in creating a small vessel which could float between isles. It took a further 4 for the Sky Galleon as we know it today to be designed and built.

By manipulating the skystone, a Sky Galleon can change its Elevation as well as move its position slowly. Its main propulsion, however, is through the use of its sails and rigging.
