Hellvion actually is the only duchy on the western boarder that has a small bit of ocean access.
At least how its kinda implies when I drew this map :T
Though the port would be surrounded by .. THE CLIFFS OF INSANITY
The map for reference: http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=18376.msg226292#msg226292
Edit: and I havent decided where. Maybe its maiden voyage is an around the world sea voyage of some kind and is meant to stop at various ports? Like it could head North, first before moving out to Yoreiq, then it could return to the main continent and travel up the coast.
Aha! I was thinking of the
old Connlaoth map.
Since it's just iceberg-laden frozen north to the north, what if it went down the western coast of Le'ranna, with the grand finish as Yoreiq?
Also, in that case, the purpose of the ship is to flaunt money and power? Not military anything? But a "luxury tour of Le'ranna's west coast" with the finish in Yoreiq could make sense for:
1) War-weary nobles who can afford to "put the war behind them" by traveling on the ship!
2) Wealthy draft-dodgers! Assuming there's a nation-wide draft in affect by this point.
3) People who want to go so far and then escape to places outside of Connlaoth (Niahi, Essryn, Adela, I guess?)... so desperate mages, war refugees, and the like. Both wealthy ones "above deck" and poor ones "below deck."
What do you think?
Edit: Starting with the coast of Le'ranna would also make more sense for travelers who can't afford to do the WHOLE trip. Then just the really rich and fancy people will do the grand finale tour to Yoreiq.
