Ardinant

The Ardinant is the Elvish ship captained by Adrian. It is a long, sleek battleship but it is mostly used for trade and diplomacy in the years of peace. Adrian is one of the few captains who doesn't mind doing peace or trade missions, so he frequently travels the route from Cruth-Atharraich to Kynigos, which is why he was sent to retrieve Death for her return home.

The Ardinant is described as such:"Elvish ships are truly something unique. They are curving, elegant arks made of shining red, black, and white stained wood, completely clean of barnacles and algae. Adrian's ship, which might not have been spectacular in a port filled with elvish ships, certainly stood out among the ships of men – the ordinary ships seemed blocky, slimey and awkward compared to the Ardinant.""The Ardinant was made of pale wood that was perfectly sealed and polished to a gloss, and all of its lines flowed together in a swirl of impossible craftsmanship. It was long and narrow, slowly widening in the back to a wedge that would slice through waves with ease. Unlike the square sails of the other ships in the port, the elvish ship had triangular sails that gracefully sloped from point to point on the masts, which made it easier to tack into the wind and made the Ardinant the fastest ship in port.""Gleaming swaths of cherry stained wood lined the railing and the decks, giving the ship a delicate and defined form, even though it was obviously a warship – rows of smooth, dark holes lined themselves along the hull, and in each hole you could see the glimmering silver tip of arrows the size of fully grown men.""The upper deck of the ship was mostly open, but about a third of the decking was devoted to cabin space for the officers and the galley; the crew’s quarters were below decks."
