Recently, reports have rolled in of pirates attacking and pillaging trade ships coming from Östlaed and Wychwood. In order to combat this I commissioned the first ship to be built for the Grand Navy of Erikos, the EWV Fate. The ship is both the first war vessel to be built, and is also the first boat to be built in the Invictus Class of ships. This class, designed and created and from a mixture of pre-existing designs and new techniques, is a small ship being manned by 15-20 men. It has 8 cannons in total, and as a result is slower than other ships in the Katoraktonion Sea. The ship made her maiden voyage with myself on it, and immediately ran into unfortunate pirates who were quickly dealt with and given the punishment they deserve of their crimes; death.
The ship, after thorough inspection, is certainly sea worthy, and is certainly worthy of carrying the motto of myself and of the County of Erikos, “I am the Master of my Fate, I am the Captain of my Soul”, thanks to her beauty and grace as she glides through the waters. Already the ship has shown herself as being truly a masterpiece of our early engineering.
