Saga of Zenaria

Sailing

Beyond Every Coast

Build a ship of your own, raise the sails, and find out what lies past the edge of the map.

The shipyard

Laid on the Slipway

Ships in Zenaria are built, not bought off a shelf. At a shipyard on the coast you lay your hull on the slipway and raise it to the blueprint you hold. Every captain starts with a cutter; bigger hulls are earned in crowns or won as blueprints.

Your ships belong to your account, like your heroes. Moor one in a far harbour and it waits there for you.

The fleet

From Cutter to Galleon

Four hulls to start the age of sail, each one a step further from shore.

Cutter

Light, quick and forgiving. The first ship of every captain.

Starter ship

Brig

Two masts of square sail and room in the hold for a real voyage.

2,400 crowns

Frigate

Three masts and a fighting deck. Fast enough to choose its battles.

Blueprint

Galleon

A floating fortress with a towering stern. The pride of any guild.

Blueprint

The open sea

A Sea That Never Sits Still

Zenaria's ocean is alive: swells roll in from the deep, break white on the reefs and run up the beaches. Shallow coves shine turquoise, the open water turns deep blue, and the light changes the sea from dawn to dusk.

Some places can only be reached by keel: isles past the horizon that no road touches, and the captains who return from them do not agree on what they saw.
