The Sea Elephant, Galley
East Tellenhiem Company Galley - The Sea Elephant - an enormous ship captained by a human named Vertisar. His First mate is Flaschenbier a mysterious Fire Genasi woman. They are working with Eletar Wisteria and Venter Petrograd to move materials to Penthos and Lamborginus. Galleys are long vessels that rely on sails and sizable rowing crews to move. These ships can carry siege weapons and soldiers to war or transport large amounts of cargo for merchants. No matter the ship's purpose, the crew almost always hires extra protection, since galleys make large, cargo-rich targets for pirates.
