Thoughts on a Minrothad Skyfleet

by Marc Saindon

Okay, so RC has in the Stronghold&Dominion section rules about demihuman relics, notably about Elven skyships.

Now Minrothad has two batches of Elves (Wood & Sea) cooperating, plus magic training in their Guild system.

So a leap of faith here, is that Minrothad could develop a strong fleet of Lightships. Naturally, this would be a secret project (avoiding most problems relating to retcons) that only gets revealed recently, post-Woti. The nature of lightships (they only work in daytime) avoids involving Spelljammer and complicating the setting, and limits the ships to a short range travel; however, they could be instrumental in retaking Crossbones from Thyatis, should hostilities increase between the Empire and the Guilds or as opportunity to help Karameikos if they get invaded by Thyatis (Minrothad needs more friends...).

Maybe it's just me. I like my Minrothad elves to speak portugese and have flying ships. :)
