So What's Sailing?

You've probably heard of the Merdraco, the Riddenmast, and the Hallowhold.  They are 3 ships that serve as ferries, that are captained by NPCs, (non-player-characters); those will not be the last time you run into NPC ships as a captain in Alyria.  The ferries were probably your first look at sailing in Alyria.  But now, you have your own ship, and can sail where ever you want to, and do more with your ship than just sail from port to port.

The Realm of Sailing has had new life breathed into it recently.  Ship Player Combat, released this previous summer,  allows player ships to fight eachother upon the high seas!  Ships within "Ship Player Killing" zones (SPK), level their cannons and aim their ballistae at other ships in an effort to win the battle, and any precious cargo the target ship carries.

Alyria is plagued by pirates, and soon Sea Monsters will lurk in the deep!  What kind of treasure these buccaneers and beasts will carry is unknown, but hundreds of alyrians wait in anticipation.
