Oh, the "Old Hull-breaker" has earned her name, heed my words! They say that its captain is a devil himself dressed as man, and his crew is no less merciful. Consider yourself blessed that ye never had dealings with that grim vessel...

Sail; Wind — 1,793.53 m
Weapons & Armament
She had eight gunports but only one 9-pounder on deck. Additionaly, she was armed with one swivel gun.
Above all else, the Revenge was built for war, or at the very least to defend civilian and merchant transport from piracy.

The Revenge is armed with a total of 48 cannons. The Revenge's Armament consists of the following;
- 14 24-Pound Emberlance Eruptor long guns on the lower gun deck
- 12 36-pound long guns on the central gun deck
- 14 24-pounder long guns on the upper gun deck

- 2 triple-barreled swivel guns at the helm
Armor and defense

While it was not a fast ship compared to smaller brigs used by The Duryad Royal Imperial Navy , it is more than durable enough to withstand potshots. It also boasted many decently defended positions on the top deck and up the masts for archers and mages to attack enemy fleets, which worked fantastically due to Duryad's extremely well trained navy.
