Glaesen Star

The Glaesen Star was a ship that sailed between Teras Isle and Wehnimer's Landing twice a day. Experienced adventurers could purchase passage aboard the ship (reaching "titled" rank was required), which was the only method of travel to and from Teras Isle. Tickets to Teras Isle were 50,000 silvers, while return trips to Wehnimer's Landing were offered at no charge. (One exception: Officers of any CHE were granted free passage twice per month.) Tickets were sold at an office located on the South Wharf.

Nearly a hundred years old as of 5106, the Glaesen Star was purchased from human merchants by the Borthuum Mining Company not long after the establishment of the town of Kharam Dzu on Teras Isle. In 5103, the Glaesen Star was attacked underway with Prince Eregek Borthuum on board in a fierce naval battle by Krolvins, as part of a general invasion of Teras Isle.

Travel guide tidbit

The guide says, "There's a ship called the Glaesen Star that transports people and goods between the Landing and Teras Isle. Did you know, the Glaesen Star used to ferry between Solhaven and Teras instead?"

Citizen-only lounge

In 5108 the Glaesen Star underwent renovations, including the addition of a private lounge for citizens of Kharam-Dzu. Only people with citizenship in Kharam Dzu can access this lounge.

[Glaesen Star, Beneath the Waves]
Huge, bevelled panes of colorless glaes replace the hull timbers to either side of the keel. From the deck planking to the deck beams above, the ship's bow is a giant window opening on the world beneath the waves. Several small driftwood tables are scattered about the room. Atop each is a green glaes-shaded oil lamp which casts a dim light, giving the room the illusion of being an extension of the realm beyond the panel. Set in the wall near the driftwood bar is a glaes-topped driftwood bar. You also see a driftwood framed archway and a burly dwarven tapman.
Obvious exits: none

The tapman says, "There's some fine grog on the bar. If ye want more, there be lots of food an' drink through that door, but only if yer a citizen of the Isle!"

[Glaesen Star, Citizens' Lounge]
Rich mahogany paneling covers the walls of this plush room. A long leather couch stands against the far wall near a brass and glass serving cart. Overhead, a huge chandelier of wrought iron holds thick, red pillar candles. In the center of the room stands a marble-topped table covered with a lush buffet of tantalizing foods. Music wafts up a set of three steps from the ballroom. You also see a thick mahogany door.
Obvious exits: none

You walk over to the couch and with a satisfying sigh, throw yourself down upon its soft cushions.

>look on cart
On the glass serving cart you see a jug of lemony Greymist Beetlefizz, a pot of piping hot drakefern tea and a pitcher of Gulroten stock ale.

>lookon table
On the marble-topped table you see a dish of wild Fhorian strawberries, some mushroom kabobs, some chocolate volcano candy, some zesty Terasian lava bisque and a platter of fried shrimp.

[Glaesen Star, Ballroom]
This dramatic room is shaped like a spacious half moon. On the straight side, a set of three steps leads up toward the lounge area. The remainder of wall space is a massive, curved window, looking out at the depths of the sea. A huge wrought iron chandelier hangs from the dark, hardwood ceiling, casting light over the highly polished parquet floor. At the exact center of the windowed wall stands a multi-tiered bubbling fountain. A young dwarven harpist sits on a stool in the corner, with an ornate harp situated between her knees.

>get wine
You pour yourself some effervescent golden-bronze wine.

The citizen-only lounge is a node.
