An exceptional sailing ship crafted by Adamant Fern and helpers from the Thousand Hands Convoy, reinforced with sorcery and crafted with superhuman skill. Exceptional statistics for a Blue-Water Merchant ship. (Scroll of Kings p. 146)
Appearance[]
The Diamond Resolve is a hundred-and-fifty-foot three-masted schooner built for swift sailing and long expeditions. She can sail with a bare-bones crew of six; usually she carries a couple dozen, hand-picked from the Hands. She's an extraordinary vessel: many of her parts are enchanted or demon-crafted (Fern summoned a pair of firmin just to make all the fittings for her rig) to improve her sailing or as conveniences to owner and crew. She carries a fifteen-foot sloop-rigged dinghy for exploring; the launch is expressly designed to fit within the range of Fern's Chaos-Repelling Pattern.
Her captain's cabin contains, among other things, a very basic crafting workshop (minus the bits that would be outright dangerous aboard ship; no furnaces here) and a small arcane library, none of whose books cannot be found elsewhere in Fern's collection.
