Ship Construction

Ship construction


To go sailing you will need access to a ship. A friend may give you access to theirs, but if you find you want one of your very own, you'll need to get one built for you.

Ship construction is most commonly done by a minister of your city.

The ship must be constructed within the port of the city.

If the city does not have a port then the ship must be constructed by a member of a city that does have a port. Aronsol, Gralthar and Szagan do not have ports to build ships. They are inland cities.

A minister of the city or Emperor can assist you with building a ship. Other people may also be able to assist you with building of a ship if they have been given special privileges by the Emperor of their city.

A special type of ship, the raft, can be built by anyone
