A.R.K

The Zephyr of the Soul Shepherds.

Crew Quarters

• Virtus Tenebris (The Captain’s Quarters): These quarters are a study in martial discipline and pedigreed legacy. The room features a built-in workout gym, a dedicated armor stand for her Tenebris-crested plate, and a large forge for forging weapons and armor. Her father’s Holy Chest sits at the foot of her bunk, a constant reminder of her mission to find Sir Amiel and Paradise.

• Whimsical: This is the “Mombarian’s” room. It is the physically coldest room on the ship (but aesthetically the warmest). It smells of spices which remind you of home, arranged in a way that reminds you of fights with your guardians. The walls are adorned with colorful drawings which appear to be drawn by children. There is a custom cooking station where she has installed a small, custom spice rack and a sturdy hook for her oversized cast-iron pan weapon. Her room has a stable for Axe Beak.

• Diallos: Designed for tranquility; Diallos’ quarters are sparsely furnished with meditation mats and fresh moist wood. A workbench is cluttered with wood-shaving tools and half-finished Totems. The ceiling is painted with an accurate map of the stars as seen from the day of his “hatching”. There is an exit to the balcony where his Hawk Eden nests. Scrolls on the Titans are meticulously organized in cabinets, and some fresh herbs are present for Herblore.

• Finley: This room feels more like a greenhouse than a cabin, filled with vibrant sky-flora that hums with Natu’s latent energy. A small pouch of ever-fresh dirt from his lost home is kept on a cedar pedestal. The Staff of the Seasons, housing the soul of Archdruid Elowen, rests in a living-wood rack that grows directly from the floor. Branches originate from here and strengthen the hull of the ship.

• Silas Clemens: A blend of gothic nobility and esoteric clutter, Silas’s quarters are often kept dim and damp. Vials of his friends’ blood are kept in a locked, velvet-lined case for “safekeeping” and tracking. After his recent trials, he has removed all mirrors from his sight, replacing them with occult tomes on soul-binding. Random stashes of booze lie around the room, along with lots of books. He has mannequins to project souls onto so that he can speak to them one on one.

• Bartholomew: His quarters resemble Emerald’s Rest crystalline forest, Bart’s hometown. He has a wardrobe of fine silks and costumes. A drum set and several lutes are scattered about for his performances with the new Kobold crew. His Blade of Clorox, carved from a dragon’s tooth, is displayed prominently above his bed. Holy texts on the Goddess of Nature lie around his bedroom, half opened.

• Thirteen: A barebones room / Janitor’s closet with a covered mirror.
