Airships

[Abbess Allessandra]

As the book indicates they are powered by an artifact furnace not steam. They draw their power from magic. So the fantasy concept is at full force here.

My Lady, I am not sure anyone is paying attention to you. At least no one has responded directly to you. :(

[Abbess Allessandra]

That's because they don't want to see that I explained how they could be in BR. It seems there are only a few who respond to me. If I could only get them to the UP of H.....

[Lord Eldred]

Well I thought they worked in our Birthright Campaign. We made limitations and there wouldn't be very many of them in any campaign. Oh well maybe someone will start listening to you soon!

I'm sorry I had my BellTone turned off... ;)

I was merely stataing that without magical influence (i.e. the purported artifact furnace) airships would be a mostly unlikely invention indeed. To create them with magic would be quasi-nonBirtright, since the original Birthright rules do not place high influence on magic. I wholeheartedly agree with Eldred that (severe) limitations should be placed on such devises or they will quickly get out of hand.

There are a limited number of artifurnaces and they need to have an artifact to run. Then there is the whole thing with having to cut down elven trees to make the ships which would surely cause a war!

...Bad Elves gone worse. They chop down the trees in their forest to build a fleet of airships with which to destroy all those pesky Humans. Or maybe not.

I have never really liked the idea of airships in a campaign like Birthright. Mostly for no other reason then that it seems a little cheesy. But that's just one man's view.

[Lord Eldred]

Hey, maybe I like cheesy!

I like cheese too. But not that blue stuff.
:P

[Lord Eldred]

Blue cheese? Yuk! I am not too fond of green either :P
