Vinterloch



Vinterlure is a section of ocean commonly charted as the space between the ruins of Teltis’ Run to the South up to the ruins of Hunters Expanse to the North.

The area is almost entirely ocean, and on first glance upon entering the zone that is in fact literally all it is, until you get about 1-300 nautical miles in. Then you start to see the true body of Vinterlure: The city of Tyr.

Tyr
Tyr is the only city in vinterlure, and is composed of a grand total of 500 individual dinghies, schooners, frigates, and multiple other kinds of ship. The city itself acts as a massive flotilla, the ships themselves forming the only walkable space, bound together by thick rope and magic. At each of the cardinal directions right in the middle of the fleet, a large VACS Ship is found (Vinn Armada Capital Fleet Ship). These compose the main bulk of the fighting capability of Tyr itself, in the form of four of the most powerful iron ships ever made. Each of the captains of these four ships compose a central council which gather once a month to discuss plans and direction for the fleet to travel.

Colourful Personalities
Feikhan Bahlo A human captain of the vinn armada, Faikhan Bahlo isn't your typical merchant marine. Formerly of blusterport, this intrepid adventurer travelled half the planet before eventually coming to a stop within the flotilla of tyr. Deciding that the city seemed interesting enough to warrant an extended stay, Especially once he discovered Teltis’ Run. The man himself isn't exactly a fighter, but he is more often than not prone to hiring groups of salvagers and haklans to take dives into the ruins of Teltis’ Run itself, and will pay for any interesting salvage the groups tend to find, often reselling most of the knicknacks later for a greater profit. His shop is a pretty all around affair, but he tends to get in all sorts of interesting things, so it's worth checking out every so often if a sailor or adventurer is in the area.

Tastocuz Vamisqun A Half Elven captain from another world, Tastocuz is one of the more capable captains within Tyr. Commonly flanked by men and women alike, he is a charmer and dirty fighter, typically getting into duels over romantic interests anywhere between once and three times a day. He is, however, extremely capable, evidenced by his ability to teleport short distances and use strange, unstable magic. If you want a fight, or simply an entertaining man to bet against, Tastocuz Vamisqun is your man.

Ziphezho Vindachald One of the few female captains in the fleet, Ziphezho is a strange one, commonly found in the bottom decks of her ship reading or in the upper masts running lookout. Formerly a deckhand aboard the “Zyksis”, she became captain when the previous owner fell at the hands of a rival captain. She typically hides one of her arms under a heavy blanket-like cloak, and rumors say that it's not human in make, more birdlike than anything. She is said to be extremely agile, as if she could take off at any moment, but nobody has seen her do anything but read or eat. Worth a conversation, if nothing else, said to be able to speak to the gods, though that's unconfirmed.

Simel Rusto A female ravenfolk, once a sailor, now seemingly content to wander the city, providing music and tales of far away places for coin. She settled in tyr out of the blue, being discovered in a small boat half dead nearly 11 years ago now. She doesn’t speak of her previous life much at all, and seems content to confine it to the past and burn it. She is an extremely capable performer, typically drawing crowds when she comes around.

Strendurth Moondraft A ravenfolk captain, one of the council of four that rules over tyr. He is an extremely quiet, intense man, typically casting out that which he deems unnecessary, sometimes at the butt of a gun. Unliked by many, but respected by all, he is a captain with one of the most extensive battle records on board tyr. Strendurth is close to 74 years old, and battles he has fought in include the first major attempt to reclaim the mainland, also known as the “War for the MCF Featherwind”, where one of the many mainland dimension crawlers were nearly taken in an attempt to ram it into the barrier and lead a rebellion against the Circle of Agnus. Rumor has it Strendurth has a son, but whoever they are, Strendurth refuses to speak of them, and won't allow anyone to look for information on them.
