When establishing a surface settlement is not feasible, pioneers often travel in a convoy of large airships capable of holding a sizeable, self-sufficient community where an entire generation of family may end up residing. Unfortunately, recent rise in piracy and airborne phantom attacks forced many convoys to settle on the surface for extended periods of time. The skyfaring city-state is still a sight to behold during its migration through the sea of clouds. One of the most prominent and powerful convoy group features the largest airship ever constructed, conceived by a legendary artisan hailing from a continent renowned for its vastly advanced military technology. Although highly skilled even among the continent's brightest, the artisan never used her knowledge to develop weapons, and caused contention among her more hawkish peers as a result. However, she disappeared shortly after the beginning of a major continental war that ultimately resulted in the fall of several major countries and inflicted irreversible damage to the continent as a whole, rendering much of the land inhabitable. The grand airship, developed from collaboration of multiple independent states including Grezivet, represents perhaps the ultimate statement of the artisan's philosophy and hope for a united world free from conflicts that ravaged countless lives. This convoy continues to be run by one of the few organizations dedicated towards recovery and research of lost knowledge for scholarly purposes. |
