Auran Shipgrove

The Auran Shipgrove represents a marvel of magic and engineering. Most ships are built and pieced together in stages, each part crafted by hand to fit the puzzle and topped off with the cornerstone, the sordalite crystal. The Auran ships are grown from the ground up, literally. Once a piece of sordalite is chosen, it is brought to one of the ancient druids circles and buried The shipwrights of the Auran Shipgrove spend the next three nights in a trance around the site casting ancient druidic rituals. Over the next year and a day the ship is grown; the shipwrights spend that time cultivating and shaping, trimming and moulding the ship into its final form. No two Auran ships are exactly the same. While one group of shipwrights will tend to form them nearly the same every time, another group may alter a few details or placements depending on their preference. Auran ships, while not too rare, to see the same one again is a rare sight indeed as the ships are made for a purpose, a task on hand. When their grand plan is finished or when they are too damaged to continue on they return to their grove and are taken back to the ground. The sordalite crystal is recovered and placed back into the sacred vaults to await a new voyage.
