The Silver Wings of Renic
Summary
The Silver Wing's of Renic was a colossal six-decked (four of which were heavily armed) ship that sailed the seas between The Tiorath isles and mainland Tor'Saarn during the first age, serving as the flagship of the Tiorath Hierarchy's grand fleet until it was sunk during The Sundering of Tiorath. It was over 125 meters long and 25 meters wide with a narrowed face, and utilized more than 150 cannons. The ships hull was imbued with a thin layer of highly enchanted Soul-forged steel stolen from ocean transports owned by Felsaed. It could move slowly via the use of it's broad sales, but when speed was required it made use of specially trained tidal elementalists to reach speeds that could even outpace the Weisiar racing boats. In addition to the standard cannons that lined the ship, it made use of 8 penta-barrel Stone-Render Cannons (4 mounted at the flanks, 2 at the for end, 2 at the aft end) which utilized explosive rounds powerful enough to rapidly and efficiently tear apart walled cities. The aft Stone-Render Cannons were extended artillery variants faced forward and skyward, used to fire inland at great distances. The flank Stone-renders were modified rapid fire versions of the weapon, and used to tear down walls as the ship passed. The fore guns only utilized standard cluster fire, as they were designed simply to tear down blockades or obliterate capital ships. Had the Tiorath Hierarchy not fallen apart after the Sundering this ship would have been used for it's intended purpose, ocean raids across Felsaed. Two of Felsaed's largest settlements were dock cities and would be vulnerable if their ocean blockades were attacked by such a vessel, as they had few weapons that could reliably harm it's thick hull faster than it's numerous guns could tear them apart. Even the cities of Felsaed coud not match the vehicles firepower, and it took the power of The Titan minds to sink it.History
The Silver Wings of Renic began construction roughly two centuries before The Sundering of Tiorath, and was constructed from materials taken from across Tor'Saarn. The wood was harvested from a secret location in Seofare where the Tiorathan military had been tending to the last grove of Steel trees outside of Felsaed, using the last reserves to create Steel-soul metals used as armor and the Steel wood that served as the ships hull and super-structure. The wood and Steel was made impact resistant through an enchantment made by Tiorath's tidal mages that allowed the ship to disperse any oncoming impact into the ocean beneath. The ship was completed only a few months before the fall of the empire and The Sundering of Tiorath, and was tested in secret along the west coast of Tor'Saarn while it's compliment was being constructed in the shipyards of Henruut. The ship was simultaneously hidden and tested by using tidal mages to whip up storms around the ship, which lead to rumors of a colossal ghost ship among the few who saw it. Although initially concerned about the risk of the rumors being spread about the ship alerting the Felsaed empire, the Tiorath Hierarchy ultimately quelled these concerns by sowing skepticism amongst the citizens of the west coast. The ship was not officially acknowledged until the Sundering of Tiorath, during which the ship was armed with enchanted rounds and sent to battle against the Titan-Mind Maroki. Although the Titan-Mind was driven off, the ship would be critically damaged and it's crew killed. The ship disappeared after the battle, and it is unknown where it ultimately sunk (although it was last seen in the strait between Nor'Renic and Nor'Weisiar).Propulsion
