The Falcon is a sleek crimson-hulled airship. It is a standard-sized private property that has the ability to move between the towns and cities of Wehnimer's Landing, Icemule Trace, Solhaven, Teras Isle, River's Rest, Ta'Vaalor, and Ta'Illistim.

The Falcon is the only privately owned airship in Elanthia and one of two mobile private properties, with the other one being a sailing ship. The Falcon's home base is Redwing Spire in Solhaven, with the top floor owned by its captain. Monthly upkeep is 200,000 silvers.

Description

Long and lean, the airship floats gracefully high out of reach. Crimson-lacquered panels arc outward to form a slender hull surmounted by a bronze-beaked falcon figurehead. Three golvern-edged propellers rise high above the ship in the place of sails, while small maneuvering propellers line the sides and stern. Brilliant bronze tracery identifies the ship.

There appears to be something written on it.

In the Common language, it reads: ~o~{ The Falcon }~o~

Ownership

Designed by GM Auchand, the Falcon was originally purchased at the Ebon Gate 2009 auction by Ardwen for 250 million silvers. Ardwen opted for a refund after some difficulty with getting the property deed redeemed. It was then offered as the grand prize in the first Droughtman's Challenge and won by its current captain, Nuadjha.

Chronomage

The airship takes 20 minutes to 3 hours to move between towns, depending on the distance. Passengers not wanting to ride can opt to use an on-board Chronomage system for a fee.
