Hmmm... I didn't even think about that one. > Small Galleys > Large Galleys > War Galleys > Small Sailing Ship > Large Sailing Ship This also brings about a good point... are there really only *8* ships in the entire navy? Or is that 8 War Galleys and then a compliment of smaller ships? Or are there other ships not officially part of the Royal Navy that cooperate with them (ie Privateers)? > Hmm... on second thought, maybe not too helpful. > Those names all sound Traladaran, and while I could > see a couple of Traladaran named vessels in the > Karameikan navy, not that many. Yeah, I think you're right. My impression is that (at least as of AC 1000) things in the military are still pretty dominated by Thyatians. So while there may be the occassional ship w/ a Traladaran name, I don't it would be the norm. > Valen, Nicomede, etc.). So you could always just > grab Thyatian proper names and give them to the > vessels if you want... maybe not quite as enjoyable, > though. Again, I must concur. I think I had something more in mind like naming conventions for modern civilian boats or military ships from the pirate era... Your feedback is greatly appreciated nonetheless.

As I said in my response to Andrew's message, I had a certain flair for the actual names in mind; however, having some general subjects to work off of will be very helpful, I think.

Then I found a website with a bunch of historical ship names - great for inspiration (ain't the internet grand?). So without further rambling, I present to you the eight ships of the Royal Navy of Karameikos (circa AC 1000): * The "Duke Stephan" Captain - Leonardo Dexius Lieutenant - Sebastian Numerius * The "Fury of Protius" Captain - Sofia Karameikos Lieutenant - Maximillian Wagner * The "Dymrak Dread" ;p Captain - Benedicta Oxinos Lieutenant - Hana Molodin * The "Sea Nymph" Captain - Patrizio Rufius Lieutenant - Salvatore Octavius * The "Resolution" Captain - Gregorio Paladino Lieutenant - Makarios Lambrinos * The "Three Stars" Captain - Andreas Bruttius Lieutenant - Maximus Clerides * The "Grey Lady" Captain - Klaus von Schroeder Lieutenant - Aleksei Rufius * The "Silver Falcon" Captain - Corrado Galerius Lieutenant - Gerhard Cassius As always, questions & comments are welcome. -Damon ===== May all your endeavors be Gold! __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
