The Mulish Mermaid cuts through the upper atmosphere of a realmstar.

Background[edit]

Icons[edit]

Descriptions[edit]

The Voidsea of Lyraea has many wonderful places and people. Detailed here are 13 of the most important - or at least most interesting - that you may be involved with. They are arranged by alignment, but this is meant to be a general guideline to how they see themselves and their organization (or how they are perceived by others in the setting). As with anything, the listed alignment is meant to help paint a general picture, it is not meant to be a hard and fast rule about how a given Icon may interact in every instance.

PCs[edit]

Gobi, Goblin Cleric[edit]

A goblin mechanic who managed to acquire a seemingly derelict ship of little renown but great value from the Starforge Guild. She's 12.

Janitor, Warforged Tortle Monk[edit]

The consciousness of the Mulish Mermaid in the body of a warforged tortle. Keeps stuff clean.

Bravado, Tiefling Paladin[edit]

Every ship has to have a captain, so they found this guy.

Starla, Tabaxi Bard[edit]

A cunning space lawyer who is definitely not a cat (but she is a cat, though).

The Mulish Mermaid[edit]

The Mulish Mermaid is a small gallear, created by the Starforge Guild many centuries ago and long since consigned to a scrapyard in the voidsea. It was recently acquired by a 12-year-old goblin operating out of Glassfall. Though the it is by all appearances an unremarkable and even substandard example of a gallear, it is in fact a proof-of-concept of a technology long forgotten by the Starforge Guild. The Mulish Mermaid's gemcore is inextricably linked to an autonomous constructed body. The ship is, in essence, a sentient artificial lifeform. Had the Starforge Guild been aware of its unique nature, let alone the fact that it was operational, they would have never allowed its sale.
