Lanternship

Lanternships are small ships bearing magical lanterns that can pierce the permanent fog surrounding Sarcrist, and serve the purpose of guiding other ships through the dangerous rocky paths from Pax Oceanus to the island itself. 
The ships vary immensely, but have a few things in common. They almost never have more than two masts, or crews bigger than 40. Each ship is completely unique in appearance, often decorated, haphazardly yet elaborately, over time by the crews that live on them. Silk tapestries and ribbons can be seen waving in the rigging, elaborate paintjobs on the hulls, even polished brass fixtures.
Each captain has their own favorite route through the reef-maze, considering it a proprietary trade secret, and no two routes are the same. Even foreign captains who visit regularly have no hope of memorizing a single reliable path. Every lanternship considers it standard equipment to have multiple grapples for the purpose of docking with the ships they're guiding and relaying complex instructions between helmsmen.
