Do you love surveying the endless skies in your airship, but wish that you had some asylum from those harsh high-altitude winds? Fear not! The Holy Beard of Levin Forecastle is the airship component for you!



To make this wonderful piece of beardly ingenuity, you will need a sample of the Lord of Levin's magnificent beard. How could he be convinced to part with such a precious sample? Your guess is as good as mine!



For added warmth (and a lower chance of electric shock) be sure to mix your beard trimmings with a healthy amount of snurble tufts.



Before crafting your cozy new forecastle, it is suggested that you grow no fewer than two moustaches to aid in the crafting process. Enjoy!

Component name: Stealth Shields

Do you have a small Free Company more interested in exploration than fighting? Do you worry more about what would happen to your airship if it actually encountered a monster than what treasures it can bring back? Than consider applying my custom Stealth Shields to your hull!

Inspired by various monsters that seem to “vanish” into thin air, these custom-mounted Stealth Shields will allow your airship to slip on past those pesky flying monsters and pirate airships.

First, I noted how well dragons seemed to handle the sharp wind on their skin, and slayed a few for their resilient hides. They put up such a fight, but that just allowed me to pick the choicest of skins. I pass the savings onto you, the customer.

[Remasa]

While those skins cured into hides, I headed out to the snowy wasteland to gather up dozens of handfuls of mythrite sand. Those glowing grains do a wondrous job of refracting light! Although the fine powder does tend to tickle the nose.


Once back home, I drained the marketboard of any and all hot chocolate to warm my frigid hands for the final, critical part. After a liberal rubbing of scale glue onto the hardened leather, I sprinkled the sand onto the hides and invisible shields were born!



Well, not entirely invisible, but the final product bends enough light around your airship to deter most monsters in the sky. In simpler layman's terms: aethereal magical... stuff. Never again worry about surviving encounters when you can just avoid them. Available to be custom-fitted over any hull type!

How did you guys surpass the 1000 character limit?

Component name: Gordian Slide

Do you have crummy piloting skills? Then my Gordian Slide is perfect for you! This new invention will allow you to slide out of your airship swiftly and smoothly without any landing needed.



To gather the materials, I spoke to the Goblins in Outer La Noscea who are very familiar with mechanical crafts. They offered I do tasks for them in exchange for some aurum regis and adamantite nuggets, which I did!



With the gathered materials, I flew to the Dravanian Hinterlands and looked for the best spot that has Alexander's view. Alexander was my inspiration and I wanted to get the best view in order to craft my Gordian Slide to perfection!
