Skyships

During the Liberation War, many gnomish airships fought to drive the darkness from the continent, but none more famous than the Aeon, the Invincible, and the Enterprise. Designed by the great gnomish artificer and leader of the gnomish people, High Mekgineer Albus Farnsworth Mithrilgear, these three ships were sister-ships. Though not as large or well-armed as some ships built by the High Mekgineer, these three ships were durable, swift, and captained by the bravest gnomes who ever lived. They were present at some of the most important battles of the Liberation, and to gnomes their legends precede them. Unfortunately, in the wake of the Liberation War, all three ships were lost, and their whereabouts unknown.

It is said the Aeon was damaged beyond repair after the siege of the Drowish citadel of Dryn'aran and buried in a secret hangar by its Captain Deecon Sparkcoil. Neither the hangar, nor the Aeon's captain were seen or heard from again. Rumors indicate the Aeon may have been discovered in the Belthasian Occupied Lands, and taken to Belthasia for study.

The Invincible earned its name many times over during the Liberation War, suffering horrendous attacks on numerous occasions, but never falling from the sky, or suffering worse than minor damage. Captained by Nebbin Brightmoss, a cousin of the High Mekgineer, the Invincible was at the lead of one of the great final battles of the Liberation War. Legends say the Invincible leveled the Drowish mage city of in the heart of the Grey Wastes, leaving only dust and rubble. When the smoke cleared, the Invincible was seen drifting off toward the Nelfar's Spine to the south and all attempts at communication were met with only still silence. In the wake of the war, the Invincible was presumed destroyed.

The name of the Enterprise's captain is now lost to history, and like its sister-ships, suffered a mysterious loss during the Liberation War. During the height of the war, a mysterious shadowy anomaly appeared in the blackened skies over the continent. Believing this to be a result of Drowish magicks, and a likely devastating counter-blow by the Drow, the Enterprise volunteered to journey into the anomaly and avert the calamity. The ship was seen flying into the black clouds flashing with green and purple arcs of energy, and was never seen again.
